    Why does everyone find uni so hard compared to high school?

    yeah i think its a combination of everything above.... you need to learn a lot more in a much shorter timeframe - and much more self-directed learning. in high school each class had say, 30ppl max? in lectures that is rare! (and the lecturer's don't really know you as well so can't control...

    just to answer my own ques about the "stop further enrollment" for comp2041 if anyone else was wondering...it's coz the lecturer might change (so the lecture times might change as well) which means they can't accept any more ppl for now incase ppl enrol now, and the times change and cause...

    COMP2011/2711 Students Represent!

    hmm, well 2011 sounds ok IF it is the same as Data Org except in C...but from the syllabus link, the topics taught seem to be very much like Comp1a/1b from 2005.... and what confuses me is in the main page it says... 2011 -> 1921 but in the comp1921 page....it says comp1921 replaces comp1021 ?!
