    Am I being ripepd of?

    if it's a part-time or full-time contract (not casual), it doesn't sound THAT bad. You get paid less than casual workers but you get regular work hours and possibly other benefits (sick leave, paid accured days off...etc). I remember i applied for a position at woolies; the casual rate for me...

    Gender mix at uSyd

    Engineering as a whole has about a 6 to 1 male to female ratio. Most of the chicks do either software, civil, chemical or biomedical engineering, which means the ratio is more than 12 to 1 in electrical. ...goddammit.

    best timetable?

    For me it would be mondays and/or fridays off. Failing that, i'd dig monday mornings and/or friday arvos off. Also good if i'm working the days off (when i had a casual jerb), because i'd do something like work 2 or 3 days in a row (fri-sat/sun or sat/sun-mon). mid week days off are hectic.

    According to the timetable unit page, i could have almost 2 days off (1 lecture on tues, everything else wed to fri). Then again, i'm only doing 1 engineering subject this semester.

    how much $$$ are we lookin at each semester or per year on text books.

    O week

    meh, i found it overrated after first year (which is fair enough...it IS designed for first year students after all). Might stop by to pick up an access card and have a few drinks if i bump into anyone i know. It's a good excuse to get out of work.

    time management @ uni

    Try to do or at least look at the tutes before going to them. Tutes are more for practising and solidifying concepts learnt from the lecture, rather than just repeating the content.
