If i remember correctly i got 75% for it.

I was a loner in MATS so i didnt know the overall average :(.

What i remember is : Materials Multiplie choice is very hard
(Final Exam MULTIPLIE choice is much harder than Midsession multiple choice)

In Materials multiplie choice you have 5 Possible Answers, 1 is definetely wrong, and 4 of the REST are PARTIALLY TRUE, with some being more true than the others.
Reminds me of a subject I had a few years back.

It was "Multiple Multiple Choice with Negative Marking*"

*Negative in that minimum you could get for a question was zero apparently.

Basically each question has 5 answers, at least 1 answer was correct, but maybe more. So if you marked out the correct ones, +1, if you marked out the wrong ones -1. Oh fun times.

And to top it off, on the front page, the lecturer writes, there are 104 correct answers in this test. Bastard!

I did averages to calculate the area under the curve of the stress-strain graph for the composites lab which was a pretty gay lab.
How did you calculate the Impact Energy?
Patto Photo ain't very helpful.
Impact Energy, I think i divided the areas into a Rectangle and Triangle.

I THINK. It seems like i did it a very long time ago :S

Also,
Mathematics Computing Labs somehow stops a file download when it reaches around 1MB.
Shit.
That explains why my 280MB download stopped abruptly....

Anyone else find that the math labs smell like sweat? I hate being in there. Also, the linux admin is a total hacker. He types at around 2000000 trillion words a minute, and looks like he hasn't seen the sun in about as many months.

Speaking of maths labs, can anyone connect to sigma (sigma.maths.unsw.edu.au) remotely? It hasn't worked all semester for me, but has in the past :(

UNSW IT said:
The viability of the UNSW Wireless network, presently provided free of
charge to students, has been placed under threat due to increasing
incidents of illegal downloading of copyright material such as movies,
videos, music and games.

The University provides computing facilities (including the wireless network)
to students at no charge for the purposes of teaching and learning; and it
views attempts to misuse its computing facilities in this way very seriously.
Such actions place the both the University and the individual responsible at
risk of litigation for copyright infringement.

In addition, such conduct breaches the University Policies: Acceptable Use of
UNSW Information and Communications Technology and; Student Misconduct Rules;
and may lead to formal disciplinary action, fines and even criminal prosecution.
The Internet is NOT a copyright-free zone. Do not assume that simply because
you can locate a file through sites such as BitTorrent or LimeWire, that you
can then legitimately download, copy or transfer it, even for personal use.

COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT IS ILLEGAL.

ALL USERS OF THE UNSW WIRELESS NETWORK ARE NOW ADVISED THAT IF
COPYRIGHT-INFRINGING ACTIVITIES ARE DETECTED, THEIR WIRELESS ACCESS WILL
BE IMMEDIATELY BLOCKED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SESSION.

IN ADDITION TO THE ACCESS BLOCK, FROM MONDAY NOVEMBER 3 2008, STUDENTS WHO
INFRINGE COPYRIGHT WILL ALSO BE SUBJECT TO FORMAL DISCIPLINARY ACTION
UNDER THE STUDENT MISCONDUCT RULES, INCLUDING A FINE OF UP TO $1,000.

WHOA HOLY SHIT FUCK I got the exact same infringement notice.
They set up ELISE to "prevent us from enrolling into Semester 2 if we don't get 80% or over" but what about this?

But I hope I still can go onto IRC.

I wouldn't bet on it.
$1000 could buy us textbooks for a year or two at least and you would question if your torrents are worth that amount or more, neglecting criminal repercussions.

and thats exactly the reason why it probably won't be free for much longer because you losers are constantly downloading crap from isohunt or whatever.

use it for work, perhaps indulge in a bit of youtube or facebook, but respect the privilege!

/end rant :)
