The University of New South Wales Open Day - Saturday, 1 September

[Leffife]

It was sooo windy! But it was a really great day, all the students were really nice.

It really confused me though- is free fairyfloss really worth an half hour wait in the freezing wind??

Nope

Free 2GB usb and earphones from COFA

Did anybody go to the afternoon advanced science lecture? Hilarious!

Overall, I really had fun today and everybody was extremely helpful and friendly + some super cool stuff in the tents (esp.the materials science stuff). The windy nature of the day had some funny results though

[Memento-mori]

I went to the open day today and I really liked it. Helpful students and staff, I've never even been to UNSW before and about thirty minutes later, I felt comfortable. Didn't mind the wind or the fairy floss queues Freebies was actually impressive, got a new COFA USB. I went to the lecture for Philosphy at 10:10am. Was good. It was a well organised event, had a fantastic time, it was very easy to move around, etc. All faculties represented themselves fantastically, (impressed by Engineering, Art & Media and Science).

Anyway, going there today made me realise the oppurtunities UNSW had. Really, I can pretty much do everything I'm interested in there.

I went to the Open day...it was COOOOOOOOOL and however i didnt see the free bbq?! i was sad haha

im thinking of studying law..but the atar freaks me out 99.65%
hopefully i can get in some other way

[addoil]

Not enough freebies. Good advice was given however.

overall, I'd say it's quite average. Good thing was that there was a free BBQ nearby the globe lawn (Pokemon Society was there, and I was hosting the event)

Interesting day today. I couldn't roam around and do my own thing because I was contractually obligated to do certain things.

But all in all, interesting day.


Anyone come to the Extension 2 Tips and Tricks lecture?

lol omg
that always happens when you're in that lecture room, so annoying.
if people are going to be annoying, at least come up with something more original... >.>

[Shadowdude]

Yes I went to the MX2 tips and tricks thing - Shadow were you a lecturer?

Yes...?

I was the main one. I did combinatorics and integration.

[OzKo]

Yes I went to the MX2 tips and tricks thing - Shadow were you a lecturer?

Is he a good lecturer?

[Shadowdude]

Well, I thought so.

/no bias

[asianese]

Yes! You definitely were. The time constraints made if difficult for you guys - I understand.

I was at the front...the only one to know the coverup method for partial fractions (as if no one else knew??)

[Shadowdude]

Thanks, asianese! I try


oh yes, time constraints

the other execs were giving me hand signals to hurry up


So if you went to the 1st lecture, I went too slowly on the first (easy) example - not giving enough time for dots and lines

And if you went to the 2nd lecture, I somehow also went overtime... probably because of the dots and lines method


Also if anyone asked why I didn't really encourage audience participation - it's because I had too much material to cover and I figured the... me asking questions and then answering them would be quicker.

Let's just have a one hour lecture with Shadowdude being the lecturer, giving his MX2 tips (Y)

I saw that handout, it was actually quite good. xD

That is one of the first things they teach you in first year math (or used to be anyway).

Obviously. I mean... I wrote half of it myself

Yes, but that's why the lecture was called "HSC Extension 2 Maths Tips"

it's supposed to be uni maths taught to hsc kids so they can use superior uni methods in their hsc
