yes, this is the best website on the UNSW network
it helped me determine what GENED subjects to take based on enrolment, class times, and whether they were web-based or face to face classes

I don't get the point of this. I have had anywhere from 900 to 1300 students in my classes.
When I book lecture theatres for my subjects, I ask for something of size >= X + some allowance for the fact that enrolments may blow out, since UNSW is pathetic at predicting how many students I'll have - even at the beginning of week 1 !!!! Also, it's difficult to get rooms at certain times, so by construction my room sizes will be a lot bigger than my class sizes.

Small subject, in contrast, have it much easier to find rooms. So I don't see how room utilisation can possibly be a measure of popularity - unless of course you compare subjects in similar circumstances, i.e. unpredictable numbers, large size, etc.

Actually its quite useful

Someone in second year comp sci wrote a program to query NSS on a regular basis to find empty spots in certain subjects (I'd imagine using a similar method to whats here), and once theres a spot it sends an email out to a list of people letting them know a spot has opened up in that subject, then its first in first serve.

Oh, so the stats are collected from enrolments in subjects, rather than actual attendance in rooms ?

[sunny]

Definately Otherwise it would have no idea what the enrolments are for s2 2004 already

You're right. My brain must be offline.
