For what it's worth unless you're really struggling, you might as well finish the course. You only need Credit WAM to transfer into compsci and if you do the phys past papers it's not that hard to get a credit.
I've been so happy doing Electrical, it's such a good course in my opinion. Yeah it is challenging but if you like maths and science you're always learning something interesting.
One other possible option would be to do the Bachelor Elec / Master Elec at UNSW where you do a minor and you could...
I'm currently studying Electrical and Biomedical engo @ UNSW, and just recently moved from just plain Electrical to Electrical and Biomed.
I think that it would be relatively easy to move from science to engo and you could probably use Science electives to take the courses required to progress...
Unless you are doing electrical engineering, I would advise trying to do ELEC1111. I have friends that did ELEC1112 and have said the exams in 1112 are much harder than 1111, and to be honest I'm doing ELEC1111 now and I still believe that is a challenging course.
Re: How hard is it to achieve a WAM of 70 in Computer Science during the first semest
If you're looking for a higher WAM, unless you excel in a subject you are probably better off doing the easier version of the subject. For example I would have done PHYS1121 if I was allowed. But yeah I agree...
It's entirely up to you, but if you are doing well in all other aspects of chem. When it comes down to your final mark the actual experiments wouldn't make that much of a difference. So it's something to consider
I think it's a bit much to say that whether or not you're smart because you went to James Ruse.
But what do I know I'm a white guy that went to an average public school.
In all seriousness I think making sweeping statements about races and how 'smart' you are is stupid.
It's about...
