congrats to all who got shortlisted :) and re the scholarship money and working..yes in a weird way ur working for the money (and getting paid not very much) but in the end you still get money (always a plus) and the industry work experience looks awesome on your resume and gives you...

hihi all Currently a 4th yr BIT so I thought i'd give my 2c in the discussion about BIT/ISM :) what nexu said is quite right, doing BIT gives you a lot of opportunities when you graduate and start looking for jobs. You can apply to a whole range of companies...banks, consulting firms...

well in 2008 there were in a sense 3 levels of introductory computing ENGG1811 - computing for engineers COMP1911 - normal computing COMP1921 - higher computing (?? not sure abt course code) and if i'm not mistaken ENGG1811 is compulsory for all engineering students. but yeah...

hmm, well are you more interested in the business side? or the design side? coz i'm not sure about other unis, but for most courses at UNSW we have what we call "General Education" subjects - basically do other subjects which are not related to your course. so i guess if you're more interested...

hmm, i know if you look at the COFA geneds a fair few of them are completely online as well. i did to Sci and Religion and didn't like it at all :( felt like you were given a whole tonne of readings to do, no real explaining/teaching and just need to discuss/write essay...

hmm, well atm i'm doing BIT Coop at UNSW and our sponsoring companies are definitely out there grabbing graduates iirc, deloitte and accenture came to unsw to talk about possible job opportunities, and in those talks they mentioned that ppl have the wrong view of IT/jobs (ppl still think it...

hello, I was wondering, does anyone know the exact rules for overloading if your under FCE? Reading the website it seems to say that only in Final year are you allowed to overload (which sucks if you ask me). but then sess2 last year, I got permission from my course director to...

VIM :D to learn how to use it...vimtutor ;p

yeah i think its a combination of everything above.... you need to learn a lot more in a much shorter timeframe - and much more self-directed learning. in high school each class had say, 30ppl max? in lectures that is rare! (and the lecturer's don't really know you as well so can't control...

unfortunately no :( one of my core subs has Lectures on Mon...and tuts are only offered on Weds... and the other sub is similar cept...Lectures on Tues and tut on Thurs so with only one lecture stream....and tuts being on diff times but same day no matter how much shuffling Mon~Thu all taken up...

just to answer my own ques about the "stop further enrollment" for comp2041 if anyone else was wondering...it's coz the lecturer might change (so the lecture times might change as well) which means they can't accept any more ppl for now incase ppl enrol now, and the times change and cause...

out of curiosity..you seem to be certain to recommend me COMP2041 coz i'm not a Comp-Sci...any particular reason?

thats the prob, i'm not comp-sci... and umm...anyone know why COMP2041 has stopped enrollment?! http://www.timetable.unsw.edu.au/2006/COMP2041.html#S2S there is plenty of room.... I'm actually leaning towards COMP2041...but...argh...

dam..a thought just came to me...will the lectureres still check their email since it's stuvac/exam period?? Still can't decide between COMP2011/2041 *sigh*
