    Equity scholarships

    I currently receive an Equity Scholarship, and I go to MQ. It's valued at ~$2400/year. It doesn't effect my centrelink payments. When I applied for it, the schools career advisor gave me all the relevant information and forms which spelt out everything I needed to know at the time. I think...

    Handwriting

    I do Computer Science and have never had any troubles with the handwriting in uni exams. If you did software design in highschool, the exams are of similar nature, short answer question testing knowledge and practical questions where you may have to debug/write/rewrite code.

    i want to find a place to live

    Like you, I had to move to Sydney to study, and didn't know anyone I could live with. I used flatmates.com.au which is where I found my current flat mate. It's a great site, I would reccomend it.

    MQ General chatter thread

    Re: MQ General chatter and timetables thread (+ Conception Day!) I started studying for the one i'll probably have to most trouble with (elec166) about 2 weeks ago. Can't really get into anything else at the moment, all the assignments I have due soon is hectic.

    On the topic of University Transfers...

    I currently study at Macquarie and receive an equity scholarship. Would I still be eligible for this scholarship if I transferred to uSyd or unsw?

    Transfer Q's

    If anyone is interested, I ended up emailing the UAC Enquiries and the reply I recieved said that 7 units will count as a full year of study.

    Transfer Q's

    Okay thanks :) I just found and read the UAC Full-Time Equivalence thing on UAC. Full-time equivalence (FTE) When you calculate the full-time equivalence (full-time years enrolled) in the course or employed at the company, tell us the nearest quarter year. For example: 1. If you were...

    Transfer Q's

    I'm currently at MQ, and I want to transfer into USYD. I was wondering, what is counted as a full year of study? After two semesters of study, I would have only done 7 units. If that is not enough, would doing a summer school unit count, or is it too late?

    MQ General chatter thread

    +1 The lecturers seem awesome, the content is awesome, and it was so worth dropping math136 to do this semester. :]

    How do you know if the tutes start this week?

    Not to sound like I'm hijacking the thread, but how would i check if ELEC166 has a mixed class in the first week? I don't know who the coordinator is, and i can't find the unit outline. Does anyone know if it does or doesn't?

    MQ General chatter thread

    Re: Semester 2 Timetable I'm doing 4 subjects (math136, elec166, isys114 and comp125). I've tried a few times to switch things around to make my days shorter, but it doesn't make things much better. Pwnage101, yeah there's 2 massive breaks where I think I might just go home or watch a movie.

    Mobile phone went off during final exam

    I think the most dissapointing thing is that the supervisors didn't do anything, eventhough it is a serious offense. But I don't think it would have distracted anyone enough to be able to put in for a special consideration, imo. Goodluck though.

    this is my project idea.. let me know.

    It really depends on how your teacher marks, and what he/she is looking for. Generally teachers will be more concerned with students resolving the problem definition, and the overall appearance, efficiency, and the steps they take to build the solution, ie documentation and all that crap...

    Appropriate Still in?

    Sure, whatever tickles your fancy. As long as you keep the syllabus in mind and meet all the requirements you should do alright. I'd be more concerned about your late start though. You should have your ideas finalised and be atleast working on drafts at this time.

    Poetic Techniques/Devices

    Well to start "So close, no matter how far" is a paradox. Then you have the repetition of "and nothing else matters." Pretty much all of the lyrics are metaphorical, in particular "Never opened myself this way." And things like "All these words I don't just say" make the persona sound kind...
