    Doing scif courses in semester 1??

    ^ that. It took twenty minutes before the first paper planes were thrown. See how long it takes your cohort to start doing the same!

    Course Selection for Science/Education (sec)

    That link http://www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/undergraduate/plans/2013/BIOSJ14076.html , is the list of courses you must complete to major in Biology. Sample program will do one better and not only give you the subjects, but also tell you when to take them. e.g. BABS1201 in Year 1, Sem 1.

    Do I have a chance?

    How many bonus points? You might get in if you have at least 6 - because I'm sure the cut-off will be 99.95 next round. What do you mean 'double engineering'? Do you mean B Mining Engineering / B Civil Engineering or something like that? If so, yes you can 'drop' one and pick up Commerce but...

    For those prospective UNSW students who just got their ATARs

    There's no correct combo. There's only incorrect ones. If you enrolled in ARTS1030, MATH1041, ARTS1650 and LAWS3525 - then yes, that's wrong. What you should be doing is looking at the handbook entry of your degree program and making sure that every subject you are enrolled in will count...

    Got rejectied twice from Maccas and KFC, WTF

    Is it like an OH+S quiz or is it like: "A customer orders a 'Two Piece Feed'. What do you pack in the box? A: Two pieces of Original Recipe chicken, small chips, small potato and gravy, a dinner roll and the plastic sachet of serviettes, refresher towel and spoon B: Two pieces of Original...

    Bridging course....worth it?

    I don't know what they teach in bridging exactly - but it's essentially the bits of a 3u course that are relevant. Personally, I don't see why you can't self-teach the parts that are relevant yourselves. However, that requires you to be pro-active and actually find the time to be committed to...

    UNSW Chatter Thread 2013

    Re: Semester 1 UNSW Chatter Thread 2013 MATH1131? It's mostly high school revision. But you did 2u, so just remember there are 3u and 4u students that will be doing the same as you and you're immediately on the back foot. So just do what Mature Lamb said. Also get a good study group going, if...

    Course Selection for Science/Education (sec)

    Yes, sample program is a good place to start. But if you want to do it better - you have to plan your degree. This may take several hours but it'll be worth it. All you need to do is to pick your majors and all that, and then pick the subjects you'll do. Get an Excel spreadsheet out and then...

    Piecemeal Functions Help

    You can solve this graphically. Get your piecewise function and graph it. Then graph y = x/2, and then where it meets should be your solutions.

    Bridging course....worth it?

    The bridging course is just there to put you up to speed with the relevant parts of 3u that you'll need for MATH1131. It's not there for marks or whatever - that's just a guide, you can mostly ignore them. But go look at what D94 posted, there's an Algebra and Calculus syllabus. Algebra is...

    Course selection for Actuarial & AdvMath Dual Degree ? Suggestions?

    1. Yes, if you total what you need for Actuarial and Maths and have some units left over, you can use those for Japanese. 2. For you, in year 1 you should do MATH1151, MATH1251 and possibly MATH1081. So just do those in first year and you're set for second year maths. After that, it'll depend...

    A few questions on timetables/subjects

    My MX1+MX2 was 165 but I still did MATH1141. If you know you can do better, then go for it. I know my 165 doesn't do justice to how well I go in maths - so I took a risk, it paid off. But then again, I've seen people whose MX1+MX2 is around 190 and they fall to credits because they don't have...

    Yes, if the cut-off is 99.95 - which I'm guessing it will be.
