Re: UNSW Chit Chat Thread 2015.
Provisional Semester 1 2016 class timetables are out.
https://nss.cse.unsw.edu.au/tt/
Class locations might change, so be wary of that but in the past (2 semesters), I didn't had this problem.
Not as big as O-Week in Semester 1, I went there last year and all the club stalls and activities were outside the CLB courtyard. There are freebies and food here and there, but not much.
Received mine: 7:12pm for z501XXXX.
A bit disappointed with FINS1613 but got a reasonable mark/grade for it, I walked in with a ~ 36/50 so that makes sense.
FINS1613: Business Finance
Content and Ease: 6/10. Some concepts are fun and enjoyable (Financial Math/Valuation of Projects/CAPM/Risk and Return), some were alright (Capital Budgeting) and some were overly dry (Bonds and Equity/Cost of Capital).
Lecturers: 9.5/10 for Robert Tumarkin...
Re: UNSW Chit Chat Thread 2015.
Wow nice. I thought it was only reserved for tutors and up, or at least when I walked passed the marking room (last semester) it was purely tutors.
EDIT: saw the post ^

Gonna have to get use to the new native typeface in El Capitan. It's good to see improvement in performance to OS X like preview. Other than that its nothing too big.
I watched the Keynote live this morning and how Federighi went over the split screen capabilities, my mind was like "man that...
Soooo not confident with FINS1613, I admit this was a bad choice as a GenEd/Elective and should have chosen like Marketing or some COFA course instead. I assume I'm sitting somewhere around 35/50 before the final exam :/
Heavily relying on MyFinanceLab, Quiz solutions and the 2012 final exam as...
Yeah, not a fan of white suits either. "You'll look like a ghost" was what my friends said in high school if you worn a white suit.
Other than that, just make sure you have nice shoes :D
As far as I know, it won't affect your WAM if you drop now. However it will be counted towards your academic standing of this semester.

Grade-only results not included in calculating WAM are:
SY - Satisfactory
XE - Student undertaking an Exchange program

Re: UNSW Chit Chat Thread 2015.
How's FINS1613 Quiz 2? In Tumarkin's latest email, he said that "Five questions from the Quiz 2 practice problems will appear on the quiz, two questions will be variations on questions from the Quiz 2 practice problems, and five questions will be completely new."...
As far as I know, most Arts courses receive no scaling, just your raw mark. I did two courses last year from Arts and received no scaling at all. The lecturer that I had for one of the courses said that the school/faculty is moving to this approach since they want to 'standardise' their system a...
Re: UNSW Chit Chat Thread 2015.
Contemplating on MATH1231 or MATH1241 (I dropped out of summer session).
Either Boris Lerner/Milan Pahor (sacrifice one extra day to 5) or Daniel Chan/Chris Tisdell (class clash but still willing to go) for MATH1231, or Thomas Britz/Wolfgang Schief (one extra...
