Since this thread just got revived, might plug this again for any newcomers, since I'm still pretty keen to sell it: EDIT: ...aaaaand I think it's sold.

:jaw: MATH1041 86 HD (provisional). (That's my first uni HD people!!) And this is coming from a proud General Maths background, lol. I sure hope they don't decide to downgrade that at all. Do the provisional marks often change by much?

Yeah, but - respect. You lack it. You seem more interested in pissing off as many people as possible (including people 'on your side'!) rather than engaging in a meaningful debate. What's the point?

^ lol. I might have responded to most of those points if anyone else had posted them.

OK, I'll give it a shot. (Can't necessarily say I'll be able to answer all subsequent questions though tbqh.) It's out of context because 1. Genesis (well, the first few chapters at least) was originally written in a 'poetic' form of language, not a factual narrative-style report. This...

I guess not. I reckon with better lecturers for the plant and animal bio sections, it could've been really interesting (well, the animal bio part at least). Instead they turned it into rote-learning detailed facts and scientific terms...which just kills it. (The textbook was kinda interesting :o...

BIOS1101 Evolutionary and Functional Bio This course is generally split into three parts: a brief series of lectures about the history of life on Earth, then a lot of lectures about the biology of plants, and a lot of lectures about the biology of animals, in a sort of generalised 'overview'...

Haha, you do see an alarming amount of hippie-types (both guys and girls) in bio / environmental sciences. Hug a tree, offset your carbon and save the whales...scientifically!

Today I got to say goodbye to the stupidity of "professional science communication". No more science communication courses, ever. WIN! :skip:

Hehehehehehe :p Don't worry, someone's beating me on my friends list! Back in the day, Icy Tower was on almost every computer at my high school. (Along with Happyland Adventures, made by the same people.) So yeah like Uncle said it's an old PC game, not just on facebook. I, um, got a lot of...

YES, come to think of it, that's right. I saw your score and thought 'Pfft' and then I set about beating it. :o No I'm not competitive at all.

Agree with nearly everything in this thread :( I also tend to clean my room a lot during study time...because it still feels like I'm doing something productive. Also WHY did I have to discover facebook Icy Tower JUST as my exams are coming up??? WHY? DAMN.

Hey, the maths component (MATH1041 Statistics) is surprisingly do-able. I've always been really crap at maths and yet somehow I've gotten high distinction marks for everything in the course so far! (no one is more amazed than me, seriously.) The teaching is excellent, and provided you go to...

I think the main point of the ads isn't so much to convert people, but more to just get people talking about Christianity etc. They provide a starting point for discussions. (Like this thread.)

fml, half the friends/acquaintences I have made this year are transferring at the end of the year. TWO are transferring to UWS. (WHY. Why would you even bother.) Bio lab partner from this semester is transferring to a fine arts degree at COFA. :(

OK that just conjured up a mental image of which is strange. That is a pretty awesome timetable actually. Mine doesn't really change for week 13; most of the people in charge of my courses didn't realise at all about the new '12 weeks in 13' thing. edit: meh, scrap that...

lol, I know. Where else could you find posters saying "Wear a hijab for a day!", "Christ Week: Why?" (or something to that effect), and "Rally for same-sex marriage rights!" all within metres of each other? Someone has not organised this very well. :o

Level 11 is a staff level. I know this because the insane library lifts decided to take me and a couple of others up to level 11 one day instead of level 10, for no apparent reason. And then we couldn't take the stairs to level 10 because they were blocked off by a locked door. Fabulous. A...

Mid-sem statistics exam today had four questions. One question was based on Dungeons and Dragons. Another question was concerned with World of Warcraft. :rolleyes: What.
