There's also PHYS1500 (Astronomy). No background in physics expected, pic heavy lectures, easy labs and laidback tutorials that were more like discussions than anything. Though if you don't like learning about star formation and the universe, etc. you might find it a little boring.

Yeah, that's the problem. It's too big of a risk to go book those dates, only to realise later on in the semester I've got exams. I guess I'm just gonna pick another date. Damn. The thing about Beijing is that it gets so hot in summer, even the tour companies don't wanna go to work. That's why...

My parents have been trying to book a trip overseas for the family, but the problem is the tours overlap with the tail end of the semester 1 exam period (specifically, by 2 days). Has anyone been in this situation before? I'm wondering if I happen to have an exam on one of those days whether I...

MATH1003 (and MATH1001) was an absolute bitch this year. If you need it as a prereq, you should definitely do it during summer school.

Thanks so much :)

A question for anyone already studying at usyd: What exactly is re-enrolling? I've chosen a couple of the units of study i want to do in 2014 on the myadmin 'continuing enrolment 2014' page but I'm worried about the enrolment closing date on Jan 3rd. Does that mean I have to choose all of my...

It's chemical engineering...not that much maths, i suppose. Compared to civil or something.

YES! I hate maths :)

I have to do 6 credit points worth of maths each semester for both science and engineering. But the maths subjects are already fixed for my engineering course, whereas the science ones can be selected, I'm not planning to specialise in maths or anything, so I only want to do the ones relevant to...

So I know a bit about enrolment: I go to usyd next week and bring some papers with me, sign some stuff. But can someone run through what I have to do in a bit more detail? There's just a mess of info everywhere and I don't know where to start. My courses are going to be adv science and chemical...

That's what I'm wondering too.

Bachelor of Science (Advanced)/Bachelor of Engineering

And what information do they publish? Is it only your name, or also what subjects you got band 6 in? Do they also put them on the bos website?

I'm desperate for a 95+ since usyd doesn't really give bonus points :S
