just cause you can't do a subject next semester due to a clash doesnt mean you cant do it... ever... do MATH1231 in 1st sem next year if you have to... guides for subjects to do each semester only exist cause some courses may be prerequisites for other courses later in your degree... in...

agreed... contact the appropriate schools - it'd be a safer thing to do in getting the right information

hm not really.. its sort of the lessons-in-uni-life sort of thing.. which boils down to "the uni aint here to hold your hands was done in high school!"

Computational Algorithms 101: The university timetabling/scheduling problem is NP-Hard meaning its highly time and resource intensive. With hundreds, if not thousands, of classes and only a finite amount of hours, there's no easy way to make considerations for every single person. Although...

well, if you really must - simply invest in a kingston lock... not full-proof protection (i.e. they can be picked) but a person picking one would be terribly suspicious

_santa might be from the west/south-west... people out here are short.... everyone else must be from the east, heh

who knows, Samantha Carter could be off-world... its a plot-twist you know.. plus they do say Jackson came back from Ascension :P

fortunately that wont happen - either you ont get the assignment or it'll be shortened. unsw policy is that assignments cant be due after week 12... although there are lecturers who specify a due date in week 12 and just say to submit it whenever :P

Well, my only proof is other people saying their WAM reset after change of degree and school. And a subsequent discussion how only a change of degree that results in a change of school would cause the reset.... Yea.. anecdotal evidence... but they had no reason to lie heh

Of course they would still be on your transcript - never said they wouldnt be. but your WAM would still reset after the degree/school change

incorrect, your WAM gets reset if you change school... so say you decided to drop your Economics degree, you would transfer to the Arts school and your WAM would reset

Heheh, you first/second years are so cute with your timetables :P I remember those days... oh and although to be "honest" i am doing my thesis....

As a note, doing 27 UOC a semester isn't overloading - cause its the maximum amount of UOC you can do... 30 UOC on the other hand is overloading... It's not totally uncommon for people to do 27 UOC... im doing so next semester - and i've done it a few other times. conversely, its not uncommon...

all smoke and mirrors... how doesn't that surprise me

well anyway, if you're worried about falling asleep in lectures, just make sure you have good friends beside you who find it to be a wonderful idea to say "boo!" to you as you doze off to sleep

yea, the mentallity in university is that if you must skip out on classes/lectures/etc, its your responsibility to tell the related people and to catch up on the work yourself... its all on you..

no not really. computing courses in CSE are more of the science of things and the theory. if you're looking for computing related maths then you should look at the maths courses (they have more in-depth courses that tie computing into everyday-ish math type things).

dont use sirius if you're gonna make a new account. 'sirius' is for the 2006 era and before of new students to CSE. 'newuser' is the account you should access via putty and in the labs.

you can enter rex vowels from the back or the front.. the front you can get through the main EE Building... the front way also has another entrance and thats along the path towards the quad... the same path also leads to the back entrance to rex vowels... you'll see what i mean when you visit...

exercise book could end up a bit of a waste especially if you have one for every subject... you most likely wont be compelled to fill the entire thing in.... depending on the lecturer you might just print out the lecture notes and jot down some random stuff on the print-outs itself... loose...
