    What to bring to lectures

    im hearing a lot of pen and paper, which is not ok but not optimal. what you do is you get to your lecture early and walk up and down the rows. usually you will find a pen that someone has lost. if that doesnt work just hang around the entrace and wait for somebody who is a lot smaller than...

    Week 1 Tutes/Lectures

    1) hypothetically, if you die, who gets your job? CEO: person X 2) ok. now hypothetically again, say that person X dies, who is next in line then? CEO: person y 3) alright. so to recap, if you and person X were to die, your job goes to person Y. now how do i get person Y's job?

    The Football Thread

    Re: The Official Football Thread absolutely true. but you would also see a lot more conservative tackles, and a lot less exciting football. you might also see some players favour the skirt ahead of the traditional shorts to reflect this change such a rule would change the game and the local...

    The Football Thread

    Re: The Official Football Thread i agree that there should be different levels of grading for red cards. a player that gets two yellow cards for two boarderline challenges doesnt deserve the same treatment as a player that punches an opponent in the face. but dont be daft and try to turn...

    what's a Wam and how do u calcuate a score that gets you into an honours?

    wam is your weighted average mark. for each course you finish you will get a mark out of 100. your wam is your average mark. so if you did 4 courses and got 60, 70, 70, and 80 your wam would be the average of those 4 which is 70. wam needed for honours varies but it is usually set at a credit...

    Do i seriously need the prescribed textbooks?

    i disagree. the uni provides a pdf copy of the manual online so you dont really need to buy it. if you do want a hard copy (i dont understand why you would cause whenever you use maple you are on a computer and hello hello, you can just open the pdf) you can print one off yourself which would be...
