oops, sorry for off-topicness, they just happen to be related in my case, i'm doing both :/ . Both involves debugging.. (ever tried debugging an SFPo that doesnt balance?) And no, computing doesn't suck. Accounting doesn't suck too, except I got 36% for my midsession, so chances of me failing...

sounds like perl coding? very very pwetty.. now i think that the 1721 exam measures your ability to "recover from badly written legacy codes". Twas' pretty nightmarish :/

okay, thanks for the tips :)

I had accounting 1A this sem, it's quite enlightening, if not tedious and boring at times. Of course, that doesnt say much about the accounting major itself, but yeah : "very useful but boring" is what it seems to be from 1A.

thanks, but im just curious as to how "proof-populated" the exam is. That is, do they just ask you to convert base-2 nums to base-10 (had enough during 1721 exam), or more proof-oriented questions (some real hard fermat theorem proofing for example)? Anyhow, thanks a lot for that tip, greatly...

Phew, right guess. Thanks sunny :) anyways, that linked list question with static bit on, I got the same answer as this other guy who's an absolute C genius, it was: 43322110 433220 4220 Damn. Thinking about it that whole exam for me was a complete fluke. That red bull I bought in the...

Hello all, Just wondering, if any of you had finite maths before, what is the final exam like? (UNSW of course..), I went to the last lecture and the lecturer didnt let slip of the exma format or such, so comes a question? What kind of questions do they give in the final exam? Like the...

We only got really brief mention about it. Most of us already know it based on past experience, but the extent which it was tested was just gross. Not me who suffers, but those who concentrated more on actually programming than learning some obscure C syntax. And yeah, about static, for me...

well.. for one all the questions are all tricky stuff :p e.g the missing break cases from one of the multiple choices, cryptic linked list in crappy variable names, and passing a as well as &(a[0]), which was really tricky >.< yeah, it was definitely engineered to make FLs

ah damn. my quote is beaten ;) btw andrew taylor keeps saying the scholarship peeps really hate plagiarism, so its best to stay away from it, keep your stance against it in the interview i guess..

man the higher computing kids were complaining because they got questions such as the busses.. and most didnt know about precedence , not even stuff like *blah++. Also, I figured out what static means in the exam, by making a wild guess :/ As for penalising, i really hope they don't do that...

Stupid buses. I actually drew a diagram about buses, from unsw to central and vice versa, labelling "895" and "891". Lower comp got an advantage :/

I wonder what would happen if you answered truly: "If it was a friend i would keep my mouth shut. If i dont know the person I probably will report, but still probably wont bother" which is kinda honest for me?

Damn computing. Wtf are busses?

psst the UAI requirements are dropping :) althoughs upposedly they'll rise within 2 years, as IT booms again, as the DO keeps saying (to make us feel better?) im just paraphrasing what my friend said, not too sure again :/

First year : SENG is not for the faint hearted. It is a true test of mettle, and in many cases, perseverance in the field of writing reports and proposals. I guess this is most useful, since you obtain the ability to write system specs so that you can outsource the rest of the job to some...

whoa, does that include courses other than that of the commerce faculty? and im curious as to how many people actually gets this stuff. does anybody know?

ya : it was supposed to be "unlock that other thread, it's waiting for spam!" btw I'm yet to have an exam.. dah my holidays are farther away than most people :/

dah finite is teh sux, i haven't done more than 5 hours of study for it this semester, tis' gonna be fun crammin :/

from that thread, i assume it means this thread, but then i actually had a good minute thinking why I cant seem to post..
