[blue_chameleon]

sucking up doesnt work in uni....i dont think?

Sucking down does though.
All those friends of mine with their HD's.........the sluts.

 

[Casmira]

i wasnt sucking up, i asked her a question about how she was saying in acct1501 companies dont re-evaluate their capital, plant and property at cost price but i told her woolworths actually do (by showing original price and re-evaluated price every 3 years)

 

[wrong_turn]

so it was casmira who asked that question today at acct1501!!!

she is a pleasant lecturer but too quick...

haha my qma lecturer is shit funny! he has a fobby french accent!!

jago get the fuck out here and meet me

 

[sunjet]

[tempco]

haha leslie am i in your qma as well? truong truong?

Haha, Troung Troung brings back memories. His lectures get cut down to a quarter of their original size in 4 weeks, tops.

too true, I had him for Micro 1
"T squared", we used to call him

 

[Alimoe_KG]

T squared is cool :/

I also have Claudia for ACCT. And for Micro i have this dude who looks unreasonably angry and grim. =/

Also for Law, i have Prue Vines

 

[wrong_turn]

yeh i the lecturer-in-charge for all my courses.

what a coincidence as well

 

[tempco]

And for Micro i have this dude who looks unreasonably angry and grim. =/

Bald dude? That'd be Trevor Stegman and his pulsating veins on his head. He's awesome.

If not, I wouldn't have a clue who he is.

 

[sunjet]

lol truong is a champ, he's like "dont turn up if you know 2u" and makes jokes which no one laughs

I'm a bored first year at UNSW doing B Comm

The problem is that I did Economics, Business Studies, and Extension 2 Maths in Year 12.

So I already know everything they've told us in ACCT1501, ECON1101, ECON1202, and FINS1612. Totally boring!

My lecturers .. Kathleen Walsh (I think Kathleen?) for Finance; Claudia Gormley (spelling?) for Accounting; something Conlon for Micro (does this guy EVER show emotion?!); and Louis Yeung for QMA. He's the coolest of the lot.

But just a sidenote to anyone who has Yeung for QMA .. in his lecture, he told everyone that x = root(y) is not a function. Or perhaps it was y = root(x).

Either way, both ARE functions. His mistake was that he assumed a root can have both positive and negative results, which is NOT TRUE. The root of 9 is NOT +/- 3, but merely positive 3 only.

Yes, he is awesome lecturer. Just don't talk while he is!

But doesn't teh square of -3 = 9? =/

Huh i don't get it. Please explain.

 

[Raginsheep]

√(±x)²=x. Why? By definition.

 

[t-i-m-m-y]

Come back in Week 14, tell me what you think!

 

[redslert]

Come back in Week 14, tell me what you think!

Don't have to wait till week 14. Before midsession exams they will be complaining how much stuff they have to study for.

It was explained by Raginsheep (Falcon Pride, dude ) just above.

But if you didn't understand that, in literary terms, it basically works like this:

The square root of the square of either a positive or negative number is ONLY positive.

If you don't believe that, then download WinPlot and draw the graph. You'll see.

And if you don't understand, then you just have to believe

Come back in Week 14, tell me what you think!

Haha, I can probably come back and tell you in one week that everything is new again. It's just this first week gone by that was boring.

Isn't university oarsum, though?

 

[§eraphim]

Lol. The only 1st yrs who actually have to do any real work are those doing math1151. The rest of commerce are bludgers.

 

[volition]

sux to be my friend who's doing math1151 then eh
