Even though I've never supported the Howard government for various reasons, I'd say that there really isn't a better alternative to the VSU right now. If I wanted to join a club I'd pay the 10 dollar fee rather than a couple of hundred dollars for useless services which I will never use.

Guys who play 'hard to get' are either hugely successful (no, not the deluded I'm the king of an internet forum kind of success) or are total underachieving losers who really don't have anything better to do.

Lol 500 people in a tute, sounds like engineering.:D Actually it's not that bad, only around 50 people per tute heh.

The pracs they were referring to are classes where basically a set of problems is put up on the board, overhead projector or whatever and people work through questions during the class. There are people there to help students who get stuck on problems.

There are consultation hours during which you can receive one on one help from a duty tutor or a lecturer. You could try those out to see if they're any good for you, it doesn't cost any money. IMO it's not worth getting a private tutor for uni subjects. The point is with maths in general is...

Unless you're a borderline case, you won't miss the initial cut with a WAM of 67 when someone with a WAM of 68 makes it. You continue to miss the point. The initial screening process by its very nature is not so complicated so that only those who are directly involved with it can understand...

One of the flaws with your ramblings is that the initial part of the recruitment process is not some hugely complicated procedure. You sound like one of those clueless people who need a physics professor to tell them that a brick dropping on your foot will hurt a lot more than a box of tissues...

Read as: waah waah I've completely missed the point and am going to resort to drawing ridiculous inferences to prove a false point. Saying that you have no more credibility than me is not equivalent to saying that I have more credibility than you. God, you're thick. I guess my point flew...

You fail, as usual, to see beyond the mere superficial aspects of the issue. One's life involves more than just uni, so it's not just a simple matter of more assessments = more of a disadvantage. Otherwise, engineering students must be at a huge disadvantage, continuous assessments plus a...

Your false claim that people's commitments are generally similar is questionable to say the least. But even if that were true, an overloader still shouldn't be at a disadvantage if they priortise properly. If you overload, you obviously gain something from it, otherwise there would be no reason...

There is a difference between being genuinely disadvantaged and simply being unable to prioritise properly. If you want to overload, then you should be able to schedule your commitments accordingly so that you are not at a disadvantage academically. What you've said is the equivalent of saying...

Oh really? I was questioning your assertion that there are more study hours for business and arts courses than there are for engineering courses. I didn't claim that if you don't study then you'll still do well because that's obviously wrong. That's an oversimplified view, just because...

Stazi, you say that there are less study hours (I assume that you mean necessary self imposed study hours here) for engineering than the other courses you mentioned as if it is a fact. Where do you get that one from? Sure, one might survive for a semester or two doing the bare minimum and...

Haha good one, we all know that you can't directly compare the difficulty of different courses. However, it doesn't take a genius to realise that there is a much heavier work load in engineering courses than most others - and I'm not talking about self imposed work either. All of that adds to...

Yeah there are other factors and they're collectively known as life. Deal with it, don't use it as an excuse.

Well considering that I got a high ENTER, won numerous awards in high school and then followed that up in uni by obtaining 90+ in various subjects and topped a stream of maths at a uni with a high level of competition, not really. The whole point was that people who do well in high school but...

What an exaggeration, one semester of uni is certainly not equal to the HSC times 2, 4 or whatever people have been saying. You've certainly got a very questionable work ethic if you find the workload in uni to be so stressful that the HSC is nothing compared to uni. The only people who find uni...

Black Scholes sounds like the name of a PDE! :D

Exactly, and yet people still generally (this excludes retards who nitpick even though it adds nothing to the issue at hand) regard it to be a perfectly sensible statement. The point is, you don't always need some highly credible source to tell you confirm every little thing for you. Use a bit...

According to who/what authority is the sky blue?
