    Semester 1 USYD Chatter Thread

    I must say I wondered whether Beachball was even happening this year as I didn't see any advertising for it around uni etc. I thought perhaps I just missed the advertising because I wasn't as involved with o-week as previous years. I enjoyed going when I was in younger years. It was a good way...

    quiet places to study around uni?

    to be honest i always thought the whole design of the library was not really conducive to quiet study anyway - its all on one floor and group tables etc aren't really separated from single desks so you can hear people talking across the other side of the room. Saying that, now I've actually...

    Semester 1 USYD Chatter Thread

    I can't believe its only week 2 - it feels like I've been back at uni forever. It doesn't help that I'm in the basement of law school for all my classes - between the lack of sunlight and no phone reception, I feel I'm already becoming a zombie. By the way, what are pass sessions? I don't think...

    Does anyone have, or know where to purchase a copy of this textbook?

    Are there any copies in the library? Sometime key textbooks are put in the reserve section so people can't borrow them but you can go into library and use them. Edit: yes it appears there are two copies in fisher - one is in the 2 hour reserve section. She can go to library and read it. You...

    Semester 1 USYD Chatter Thread

    It doesn't get any better... :( funnily enough law school tries to emphasise 'plain speaking' - supposedly the courts do as well, although that doesn't necessarily seem to be reflected in the judgements.

    St Johns suspends 30 students

    And another one today: The Uni is examining the incident now. http://m.smh.com.au/national/tertiary-education/uni-to-examine-mass-suspension-20120312-1uwiq.html

    Semester 1 USYD Chatter Thread

    I saw people selling tickets in manning the other day. The other option is to walk over to Paul's college and ask someone - people will be all too willing to sell tickets.

    The new iPad

    that is unfortunate - although I don't think it the ipad/iphones will ever support flash. Isn't even adobe now not really working on flash anymore? (or something like that)

    What do you guys do during breaks?

    I would have said fisher (I always used to study in the stacks) but since half the building is being renovated at the moment, I'm not sure how free up the rest is. I would have thought it would be pretty crowded considering they've lost half of their capacity. I think badham library is...

    I also got my first copy today!

    What do you guys do during breaks?

    I only have one break and in it I have lunch and sit with friends on the lawns. Last week it took a little while to figure out who else was on campus/had a break when I did, but I found people in the end. Last year I had a break in the afternoon and I would go sit in Taste and have a cup of...

    ACCESS Members - SMH Subscriptions

    Generally you had to elect one of the following options when you collected your access card. The options are either Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Saturday, Sunday, Monday. If you are unsure, you could probably call up SMH to elect which of those options you wanted if the Access people didn't ask...

    ACCESS Members - SMH Subscriptions

    Yeah looks like you are alright then :) I'll probably have to call SMH again this year to make them get a move on. Saying that, I'm so happy they've added the option of 7 day delivery. I never used to pick up a copy on campus because I didn't have time read there/didn't want to carry it around...

    ACCESS Members - SMH Subscriptions

    mine from last year stopped a couple of weeks ago, and I haven't started receiving new subscription yet. Sometimes it can take a couple of weeks to get going as there are a lot of students signed up etc. However if you haven't gotten anything in about a week or two, call up SMH. I had to do that...

    Do laboratory classes go every week?

    Check your unit of study outline. It will say whether there are any weeks that labs aren't on. I find the unit of study outlines to be more accurate than the timetable. If the unit of study outline doesn't say anything, then assume labs are on all weeks. For example, in my subjects (law) the...

    St Johns suspends 30 students

    It happens everywhere. It shouldn't, but it does. Hopefully this serves as a warning to the rest of the colleges/uni drinking life in general. Not sure I agree with that. If they were all involved, sure. But it sounds from the article (not saying the article is correct, I know things can be...

    The new iPad

    good point - however that was a trial and is only available where analogue tv has been turned off. Analogue tv won't be turned off completely until end of 2013 assuming all goes well. Until that time you won't be able to use the 4G capabilities of the iPad (3). I don't think its going to...

    The new iPad

    no it won't work on any 4G networks in Australia, including Telstra's. Telstra's 4G network runs on a different frequency to the 4G networks in the US, and the iPad only works the frequencies of the US 4G networks, not Australia's (or UK or most of Europe for that matter). Apple didn't really...

    employer's interpretation of uni marks?

    Generally all marks, but it really depends on what you job you are going for, what they require, what they are looking for. Of course if your marks in first year aren't that great, but improve significantly by final year that would also generally be taken into account. That would look better...
