Yeh that storm week really cut down the semester. This week i've only got a medsem on mon, 2 midsems on weds, lab report on tues, bigger lab report on thursday and a preliminary report on thurs also.

The first frosts usually occur within 2 or 3 weeks after the long weekend. In Canberra autum and spring last about 3 weeks each, theyre kind of short transition periods between the hot and cold. But 2 decades of living here tells me theres not really any real way to predict our weather, last...

I do Engn and have a few mates that do Engn/IT. And i know a few that used to do the double, but dropped the IT bit. The double degree is no harder than an uncombined BIT or BEngn, just takes an extra year. They both interlink somewhat, ie COMP1100 and COMP1110 are 1st year prerquisites for IT...

ARgh, i just got my membership to southpacs last week too. Lets just hope someone buys them and gives them a decent renovation.

Whos going to the School Disco tonight? or the Paul Mac concert on thurs? Any one heard whether or not the Presets are still playing?

Hmm, no. You dont have to come to the uni at all during o-week it you dont want. That is of course it you want to miss out on all the fun. You dont have to go to any intro lectures, you can even go to the ones that dont apply to your degree, even bring your friends along, nobody minds, unless...

Hey do any continuing students have any idea about how we go about getting new student cards for this year, since last years ones expire in march?

Usually it will stay the same, the course coordinators may occasionally change the time or place of some tutes or labs, but rarely lectures. No one but you sees what you do on the timetable site, its just a tool used for organising your time, not for enrolling in tutes. Lecturers should tell you...

Knew: that i was going to actually use all of my textbooks before i spent $400 on them.

Bikes are very useful for getting around the big campus and getting to civic. Canberra does have a pretty good network of bike tracks, most of them are independant of roads and follow scenic routes through bushland and along creeks, but unless youre a cycling enthusiast then youll probably...

Yeh i can help you out here. Engn1211 texts are Teamwork and Project Management by Karl Smith and Pocket Book of technical writing by Leo Finkelstein. Last year they came together in a package for about $70. Im pretty sure i have never opened these books, i would advise against going and...

yes ill be heading home for the entire break, but staying in canberra at the same time. hmm bit cryptic there

There are only two engineering degrees offered at ANU, Bachelor of Engineering and bachelor of Software Engineering. Im not a 'softie' so i can only speak for the engineering degree, softies and engineers do all first year courses together, with the exception of one in 2nd semester where...

i heard there were about 4000 votes, but dont quote me.
