Love? More like companionship seeing that most people would move on.

Just finding an antiderivative? You can't do it in terms of 'elementary functions.' Polar coordinates is only helpful if you want to evaluate a definite integral over an infinite or semi-infinite interval. Edit: Sorry, I meant semi-infinite interval. I've fixed it up now.

Making a strong statement in this context and not wishing to be named, spineless...

I take it that you're still an undergrad? You don't need to have jumped off a cliff to know that it is of no benefit to you. If you can't even understand that, then your marks are of no suprise to me ms.employment guru.

The point is how are you going to secure relevant work experience if you can't even average a credit? Not that averaging a credit would distinguish you from everyone else. Of course, if you were to take your argument to the extreme case then of course an engineer with 10 years experience would...

Well I don't know the specifics of what employers want but it's fairly obvious that they do want people with a range of non-academic skills. However, I think that you will always be putting yourself at a significant disadvantage if you average a pass. No offence was intended in my original post.

Oh no, of course I wouldn't go as far as saying that no one with a pass average will secure a job. But how many people can average a pass and secure the equivalent of 2+ years relevant work experience (in order to make up for a severely limited understanding the material and low scores) during...

Re: Knocking off to Ruse My comment about "rote learning" was clearly a jibe at the person I was quoting. God damn, it's people like you who give asians a bad name. I mean you couldn't even understand the obvious intention of my previous post. As a side note, I did many questions, read lecture...

I graduated in 2004, before you so don't try pulling the old 'zomg j00 haven't even experienced uni so what would you know' routine with me. 1. If you're not averaging at least a credit (ie. you're only passing) in engineering then why would you even be doing the course? I mean seriously, no...

Re: Knocking off to Ruse It's a good thing that you can rote learn some things in life though. Does it really matter how people from other schools do in comparison to people from your school? It doesn't affect you. If rote learning actually works in the HSC then there would be a whole lot...

Shouldn't the fact that you're only getting a credit average be enough of an indicator to you that 10 hours of study per week is insufficient for you? UAI doesn't necessarily indicate intelligence (although at the top end of the scale it does, you're deluded to suggest otherwise). However if...

I don't know about other people's experiences but I'd say that you'd be hard pressed trying to find someone who averages anywhere near the 98+ range and has crappy communication skills. People who manage to do that well usually don't need to put that much effort into study so it's a bit...

The biggest turn off is someone who has an opinion.:D j/k.

No system is perfect, although I do see your point. However, some people who are at uni just to get that certificate at the end without any intention to achieve anything meaningful do not need to do anything to 'maximise the utility of their degree.' There are occasionally those who don't listen...

There's not much wrong with the 'university placement system'...places being offered (most places anyway) in order of academic merit is the only right way to do it. It doesn't matter which kind of people get into uni, you'll always have people who do not appear to value their education, their...

I don't really see the point in doing that. From my experience, the international students I've worked with in assignments have sound written and oral communication skills. If english requirements are to be changed at all, then they should apply to everyone, not just international students...

I've never told anyone to shut up while I've been in a lecture. However, it does get very annoying when I'm at an important lecture and people just keep on talking. It's like ffs if you want to talk then get out of the lecture theatre, tards.

I should've clarified, I was referring to the requirements in Victorian unis. Yeah and most people don't get 90+ overall but some do. I'm just saying that I doubt many post grads would've just scraped through with an 80 because of the the continually rising cut-off score for the standard post...

Thanks for the response guys. I guess it depends on which area you are working in and you probably don't need 90+ average unless you want to do post graduate stuff. (I know it's 80+ for post grad entrance in most faculties, but I doubt any post grads just scrape in with an 80)

This seems to be the most active forum and my question is probably applicable to other fields so I'll post it here. From what people have heard and their experience, do the interviewers even care about your competence once you are given an interview? Is it just about your communication skills...
