    Australia to bid for 2018 World Cup

    SYDNEY IS NOT AUSTRALIA YOU FUCKTARD. STOP BRINGING UP THE OLYMPICS. Unless you're on perpetual welfare they're spending your money. I care if our taxes are going towards a bid that has ZERO chance of succeeding.

    Australia to bid for 2018 World Cup

    Like most Australian's you know very little about football (and I can forgive that, just don't go talking like you are this awesome source of knowledge). To host the world cup you need nine cities at least. Each stadium requires a minimum capacity of 40,000. Outside of the five major cities...

    Australia to bid for 2018 World Cup

    IT'S NOT HAPPENING !! My main gripe is that the government is spending millions on this bid when there is no chance of it succeeding. By the time 2018 comes it will have been 52 years since England last hosted the tournament. This is the self-described "home of football" and it conducts...

    Australia to bid for 2018 World Cup

    Wow, what a dumb idea. Any money spent on a bid for 2018 is a waste because it will almost certainly be held in England. On top of that, Australia just does not have enough cities to host this tournament - you need at least nine. FIFA would not tolerate Brazil or Italy or France playing in...

    B AppF/B ACST anyone with textbooks to sell?

    My 2c: - DO NOT buy any maths textbooks. Chen notes + lectures + tutes + assignments is enough - Try to get the STAT171 book second hand. It's not great and you don't really need it. - Buy the ECON110 book. It's worth it. - You're forced to buy the ACST151 textbook anyway. -...

    a late round offer for actuarial studies

    The structure of the actuarial degree is extremely rigid. In 1st year, you'll all do the exact same subjects whether or not you do a single degree or any double degree excluding law. If you get in you'll do: (S1) ACST151 MATH132 STAT171 ECON110 (S2) MATH133 ACST211 ECON111 ACCG105 ACST101...

    Acst300

    I had to do this subject since I do Actuarial. If you can avoid it, you shouldn't do it. The course has four sections: 1. Health Insurance: No notes, you have to fill in slides. Listening to his iLectures made me yearn for the sweet release of death. 2. Superannuation: Good notes, this...

    Actuarial Studies/Applied Finance at Mac Uni

    Yes. I'm sorry to say, but the UAI means shit all from the day you begin. There will be guys who got a lower UAI who will beat you. And there are guys who got above 99 who you will beat.

    Sydney is about to get a metro system?

    I'll believe it when I see it. The current government looks like complete shit when you compare what they've promised to what they've delivered. I will say that IF it was delivered I think it'd be pretty good.

    really want to be actuary, need your advice

    I would like to support this point. I know of people who have made it to final round vacation interviews over their colleagues who have far far superior GPAs. This year I realised how overrated the GPA really is. IMO it gets you a first round interview (although in some cases not!) but little...

    really want to be actuary, need your advice

    I've completed 3 years and this last semester was completely fucked in terms of the sheer amount of work we had to do. The first 2.5 years were pretty good though but still required a lot of work.

    Accg329, Acst305, Acst300,accg352

    You have to do stat272 to get into acst305. And I wouldn't recommend that to a non-actuarial student ever. BTW Acst305 is pretty fukn hard.

    Any 3rd year ACST people around?

    3rd year, 2nd semester is a bitch. Semester 1 isn't easy either.

    His version of "Heartbeats" is so overrated. The original is a million times better.

    B Commerce (Actuarial Studies) @ UNSW

    I'm from Macq but I can answer this part: 95% - Statistics (I'm including probability in this) 5% - Other Note that calculus is used throughout the course so I didn't give it a separate rating.

    Bracks set to resign

    http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/bracks-set-to-resign-report/2007/07/27/1185339210114.html If Howard were to win the election we may look back at this day as the turning point. Maybe.

    ACST255 notes

    The institute notes are really good. Sue made her own notes last year as well and I went through the entire semester without reading them once.
