    USYD Library or UNSW Library

    Also, can I bring my USYD friend to UNSW library to use the study space only? They don’t need to borrow books from there. What about the other way around?

    USYD Library or UNSW Library

    Hey guys, I’m wondering which university library is better. I thought there was a thread from 2005 but I believe it might be outdated.

    2021 HSC SDD First In Course: My thoughts, comments and advice for future students [Guide]

    In my opinion, the answer is yes, definitely. I chatted with a few state ranks earlier last week and it turned out that they don't necessarily have an extensive background in coding. Sure, an extensive background will definitely help as it will help you solve those algorithm questions...

    2021 HSC SDD First In Course: My thoughts, comments and advice for future students [Guide]

    Well, remember that the HSC is an exam, not a coding assignment - although there are quite a few algorithm questions. You don't need to write actual code in the exam - but you will need to know all the logic & how to solve stuff using pseudocode. Imo, you don't need extensive knowledge of...

    Hey, thanks for that! I chose BComm + BAdvComp (if USYD) and BComm + BSc (Comp Sci) (if UNSW), although I’m not too sure which uni yet.

    2021 HSC SDD First In Course: My thoughts, comments and advice for future students [Guide]

    It depends - I think the final ranking is more important than the actual internal mark. Internal Mark: 53% * 20% = 10.6% (out of 20%) So it's about a 9.4% mark loss there. I believe how the system works is (I'm gonna write it out programmatically since you're an SDD student :)) const...

    2021 HSC SDD First In Course: My thoughts, comments and advice for future students [Guide]

    I'm new to coding. Which languages would you recommend? - Visual Basic. I don't use it but I believe a lot of schools teach it & a lot of teachers have knowledge of this language. PROS: Kinda simple in terms of creating GUI. CONS: Not suitable for Web apps. Not that easy to create beautiful UIs...

    2021 HSC SDD First In Course: My thoughts, comments and advice for future students [Guide]

    Hey guys, It's Lincoln Yan here - or more formally known as Yijun Yan. I'm one of the two students who got FIC (First in Course) for SDD in HSC 2021. BoS helped me quite a lot during my HSC revision, especially for SDD - and I don't think I would have achieved FIC without the help of the...
