    Statistics for Econometrics - ECON2215

    I major in Financial economics, not econometrics. And no, I won't be doing the course. Furthest econometrics I've done is financial econometrics.

    Tekken vs Street Fighter

    They have a Marvel vs Capcom TE stick on ebay as well. Pretty much exactly like the SF4 TE but obviously with different art. In addition, JB Hifi are selling the next edition SF4/SSF4 TE stick (black one). And I'm currently looking into getting myself the Tatsunoko vs Capcom stick for Wii.

    Statistics for Econometrics - ECON2215

    Depends. It's an elective from what I recall and I probably wouldn't bother with it until I at least had finished introductory econometrics (also, not everyone needs to do econometric methods).

    Bookstore/Gamestore vacancies? How do you snag a job at one of these places?

    EB don't necessarily hire kids straight out of school. They tend to hire 20+ uni students or late 20s to 30 randoms. Even then, EB don't give a shit if you don't know anything about games. GAME, you simply need to know someone who works there, preferrably the manager. JB Hifi, you need to...

    Tekken vs Street Fighter

    thekingsman123 Add me if you can be bothered. And I might give you a game (I want to use my TE stick again). If I'm not available though, it'll probably be because I'm playing Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta or the new Ace Attorney game on DS. Or at work. Or more importantly, with gf.

    not buying textbooks

    In all honesty, depends on the course. If your course needs you to do questions within a textbook for tute work (and more importantly, they mark you on it), then get the damn book otherwise you'll be fucked if you can't get ahold of it elsewhere. Some courses also don't need textbooks...

    Tekken vs Street Fighter

    SF4 is pretty good online. Soul Calibur IV was decent too. KOF12 is apparently atrocious and unplayable online, hence why its $31 at EB Tekken 6 could've been so much more but thanks to shit netcode, it wasnt. At least I didn't have to pay for my copy.

    Tekken vs Street Fighter

    Tried playing Tekken 6 online yesterday. Let me say I lasted 10 minutes before quitting it in disgust. I then put in Bayonetta and sat there stupid at the amount of inane shit going on in that game. Loved it.

    UNSW Subject Reviews.

    There's barely any finance in it. It's only called financial econometrics because you use financial data (such as stock returns) in econometric modelling software. It's highly quantitative as well. You need to be able to derive the econometric theory as opposed to just memorising it at face value.

    UNSW Subject Reviews.

    Yeah, mate. I've never met anyone who found it easy. There are certainly people who do well but no one stupid enough to think it was simple. I barely passed and my gf just pulled off a credit. The content is just never clear. But to be fair, the tests and exams are over-simplified versions...

    Micro 2 is a shit course. Both content and course structure.

    people who have done ECON2101

    If the books haven't changed at all since I did Micro 2 (2008), the textbook you're talking about will be a little, American one. If that's the case, the UNSW bookstore sells them together as a pack with the workouts. The textbook is near useless but you'll be actually graded on doing the...

    Tutorial Help...?

    You've got a legitimate reason (medical) as far as I'm concerned. The faculty should be able to accomodate your request or at least give you a reasonable alternative.

    O-Week agenda

    Only go to Oweek on Monday and/or Tuesday. Later on in the week and things start to get much quieter.

    O-Week agenda

    Don't go to faculty welcomes. They're redundant as you get all the info elsewhere (either that or you already know it). If you must go, stay no longer than an hour.

    Think twice when you try and label all the different races in your post.
