    Subject Reviews (with PDF compilation)

    Re: Subject Reviews (PDF updated 17/01/09) By to toy with you mean you've done it, or are yet to do? The choice of 2nd year geos subs would depend on whether you're human or physical geog oriented. I found geos2113 to be pretty worthwhile, and it actually turned me from a mostly human...

    Subject Reviews (with PDF compilation)

    Re: Subject Reviews (PDF updated 17/01/09) There seems to be a lack of geos or envi on here. Not worth the effort going through every one I've done, as I don't think many people here have any interest in it at all, but there is one unit that doesn't appear to have much going for it, but always...

    why Madsen Building

    Depends who you get really. My attempts at the place have always been unsuccessful, but I've only been going to do stuff like get a day off or moving a class because I can't be bothered to stay at uni for an extra hour.

    why Madsen Building

    No, they won't let you pick and choose exactly which classes you want. However, they'll let you try more complicated combinations of classes available than the two blocks you get with the online system. Really, you're only meant to go to Madsen if your timetable is unsuitable for work or other...

    Predictions and Results (Semester 1 2009)

    Finally got a result. GEOS 2913 Making the Australian Landscape Advanced 80.0 Distinction Was a very unusual subject. Content was very interesting, but we had no idea what the lecturer was on about half the time and as such noone had any idea how we were going. Could've failed it, or could've...

    Semester 1 Chatter Thread (2009)

    Actually it wouldn't do this if you select 'redirect the message to...' rather than 'forward the message to...' in the inbox rules (which goes against what the usyd ICT site says). However, choosing redirecting instead of forwarding results in a fucking error: Fuck you fucking Microsoft...

    Semester 1 Chatter Thread (2009)

    So it does. Could explain why some of my emails haven't been getting replies (probably not). Guess I'll have to go back to sending all mail from the (now) official mail systems.

    Semester 1 Chatter Thread (2009)

    I've always been able to do that using Gmail. Settings -> Accounts -> Send mail as. Options are there. Then when you write a new email there should be a box to choose from in the To: bit. The new system is a major pain in the arse. Forwarded emails don't come as the original emails, instead...

    Advanced mathematics at usyd and unsw

    If you enrol into the ordinary BSc at the start, but do enough to qualify for a BSc (Adv) or BSc (Adv Maths) once you graduate you will be awarded those degrees. It's all marketing really. "The two advanced options are considered to be essential to attract the top students", but you can do...

    Advanced Mathematics !

    No they said it was all fine. Though if I get a letter soon with some sort of penalty I'll get back to you.

    Advanced Mathematics !

    Not exactly. The Science office let me switch from a normal to advanced unit a few days ago, though the person in question is in another faculty so they'll have to ask about their procedures.

    Semester 1 Chatter Thread (2009)

    Lol we only had one lecture and it's basically "so this is Economic Geography, you have exams and assignments and stuff", and we haven't actually started on the work yet. Though I have to admit the content doesn't look that great. You want another geos unit? Go do Making the Australian...

    Semester 1 Timetables

    My timetable has finally evolved into functional form. From this: To this: To this: And it's about time too. Had to wait almost a week to get all my subjects to show up. That Friday tutorial is annoying. I know there definitely is a tute on Thursday at 11am, but it...

    Semester 1 Timetables

    From this: To this: Well at least now I'm only missing one unit. I'm going to have to go back to uni to get that fixed. And that Friday tutorial is unblockable! There is a tutorial on Thursday at 11, but for some reason it's in a different room to all the others, which is about 15...
