i just enrolled in the eng(civil)/commerce but i just realised i was put inot the basic first year subjects like...


MATH1001 MATH1002 CHEM1001

maybe i shloud have chosen the advanced subjects...that is..

MATH1901 MATH1902 CHEM1901

since I got band 6 in both these hsc courses..... could the standard ones be tooo easy, and is it too late to change?

what were ur marks for chem and whichever maths course you did in the hsc?

u should still be able to change ur subjects.......is there any advantage of doing the advanced courses.......as in does it shorten ur degree or anything or is it just to keep u stimulated?

and which commerce subject are u doing?? is it the accounting 1a one...

i am enrolling for eng/com tomorrow and wanna know what subjects to choose or if they tell me what to do

Advanced subjects will generally maintain your interest and give you a chance of getting a D/HD in the course, because from what I've heard if there are like 25 HD's allocated to a course, 23 or so will go to the advanced stream.

i enrolled for the same course eng(mchrx)/ com
apparently u can change ur subjects within the first 2 weeks- and they recommended that u actually do the normal course- i chose the advanced but think i'll get 2normal and 2 advanced instead.

oh btw there were no com subjects in my list- is that normal or has there been some mistake?

Advanced maths is more interesting and challenging...one of my former tutors said if you want to be taught like a monkey do normal lol....

I'm confused....
I enrolled for Eng (Biomedical) / B Commerce, and i did not get to pick any subjects.
Apparently, i only have one commerce subject (ACCT1001) on my first year ... this correct?

hey gday champ....i am doing the exact same course, looks like we will be seeing alot of each other over the next 5 years. ANd yeah i also thought it was strange that we only had one com subject in the whole first year.

Yeah its pretty bodgey with the commerce part since they make you stretch it out over 5 years and the first year commerce subjects aren't that interesting

i defereed all my hecs payments....i had to pay $590 for the compulsory union fees and what not. Glad my parents were paying.]

hey snoopwogg, what were your marks for ur maths courses in the hsc. THe guy said i COULD do the advanced maths subjects but recommended i didnt for some reason. I didnt want to anyway cos i will probably have enough trouble with the normal maths courses. My marks were 85 for 4 unit and 91 for 3 unit by the way.
