    Most awkward question you've asked a teacher?

    I asked my Economics teacher and she said she got the "equivalent of 99.95" back when she did the HSC, whatever it was called back then. I wasn't sure what to think, because she's a serious person and I don't think she was joking at all.

    What is so good about Usyd?

    I just think that there were so many other better arguments to use. For example, if he was to write an essay on why he picked Sydney and used those points without saying "Oh and I like exchange because I really want to do it" and "And I want to do debating because I am interested in it and I...

    Has anyone had a Science teacher who is normal??

    Creepy stuff? I'm thinking weird posters on the wall and the like.

    What is so good about Usyd?

    So you basically chose Sydney uni.. because of world rankings which are irrelevant to your undergraduate study and due to far-fetched opportunities for exchange which you probably will never even take up and prestige and because of some law debating competition and because of a new Law building...

    Actuary Course Help!!!!!

    Advanced Maths is forced Honours in maths. If you don't want to do Honours in maths, then you don't do Advanced maths. You drop to normal Science with a major in maths.

    Has anyone had a Science teacher who is normal??

    I've never had a Science teacher who could be considered 'normal'. That's not a bad thing. They were quirky in their own ways. My year 8 science teacher was into spearfishing and very, very witty jokes. My year 9 science teacher loves Star Wars and Warhammer 40000, and likes dancing and singing...

    What is so good about Usyd?

    You'll find out soon enough. But meilz gets crucified enough as is, and she's from Richmond-way. How much worse C-town?

    AAA Scholarship, timetabling.

    1. Yes 2. Not a big deal. Some tutes and lectures run overtime, so while theoretically you have 10 minutes, you may only have 2 or 5 minutes between classes. Most finish overtime by about a minute or so. 3. COMP1917 is the higher version of COMP1911. You're allowed to do it.

    Bridging Coursse and MATH1131 Questions

    They teach you from scratch. Some of the concepts in MATH1131 are actually 4 unit topics. But your 2u results suggest should be fine for MATH1131, though you may find some of the concepts quite new. Like I know in the higher version MATH1141, which I did, there were a few people who hadn't...

    Semester 1 2012 Timetables!

    Low end? Perhaps when you start, but you get decent-ish if you're good and you have experience, as with most jobs. I know someone doing media this year. Not a BoS-er though. She's in your ARTS1090 and MDIA1002 lecture. 1. Probably 10 minutes at most. 2. Well, if you like the subjects -...

    Most awkward question you've asked a teacher?

    In PDH in Year 8 we were learning about contraception. My PDH teacher was lecturing the class, and you remember those percentage rate things they'll go on about 'oh abstinence is the only 100% guaranteed way to not get pregnant' and this is 97% effective, etc. etc.. Anyways, he got to the topic...

    What is so good about Usyd?

    yeah lol I heard about that accounting thing My lecturer was like "At Sydney, you learn about the history of accounting... but that's useless so we're not going to teach you that".

    What is so good about Usyd?

    I'd think it comes as part of conversation. "So where you from?" "Penrith, what about you? ... ... ... ... Umm, what about you? ... ... ... oh okay i see how it is :("

    Would it be worth dropping down to standard english

    1. Advanced and Standard scale the same. 2. Advanced and Standard are reported on a common scale. So an 87 in Standard is better than 86 in Advanced.

    Semester 1 2012 Timetables!

    Well, my English teacher went from the Kings School to my school and now he's Head of English at some other school in the city. He goes bungee jumping and surfing and whatnot on weekends (or maybe that was just a holiday)... he's doing pretty well for himself. Nice car too.
