    Dig up the course outlines

    I sent an email to the History guys asking them where their course outlines are, and they said they will put them up during week 1. I'm guessing that the courses change every year, so when a course ends they take the outline down and put up new ones when the course runs again. the history...

    Too little or too much?

    looks to me like you are falling for peer pressure "most ppl tell me its too hard to manage and for hsc". what do they know? some people are good at time management and can do 13/14/15 units and still get great UAI's. some people will struggle to manage 10 or 11 units. only you know what you...

    What you hate about UNSW

    Just read through the introduction to the assignment and my impression is "LOL" why would Stargate Command ask an egyptologist to solve the problem when they have a very capable astrophysicist at their disposal?

    MATHS > english

    what do you guys mean when you say "greater than" history and commerce are far more interesting than math. It would be hard to classify any high school maths as interesting IMO. Its all pretty much applying a formula that you memorised, no real "interesting" part about it. but when you...

    Post Your Timetable - S2 2009 Edition

    pretty much. although, even if you are the first in, you can get error messages in the middle of your enrollment, which can set you back quite a bit. so its a bit of luck as well. eg, I was enrolling at 9:10am but didn't manage to get a clean run through the process until 7pm. and I dont get...

    The myUNSW hate thread.

    if you check your enrollment appointments page in myUNSW it should tell you the exact time. but it should be 9:00 am on whatever day

    CS students: what are your electives?

    it really depends on what you are overloading with. like if you were to take PHIL2002, its a 6 UoC course but with only 3 contact hours. so I dont think it would be that much of a problem if you were to overload with a course like that. but if you were to take ELEC1111 which has something...

    The myUNSW hate thread.

    ENG ADV PEOPLE! Teacher wants me to move from ENG STD TO AVD, Should I?

    its not even a question really, you should definately take advanced english. if you find that its too hard or you end up coming last in advanced (worst case scenario) you have the opportunity to drop it in year 12. so really, not taking the opportunity to move up is really the worst thing...

    What are some unsual things your lecturer/tutor/lab demonstrator said?

    not strictly the guy up the front but Blennerhasset had just shown us that the integral of 1/1+x^2 from -infinity to +infinity was pi. he found that to be a pretty remarkable result. then people for some reason people started clapping. now the applause died down very quickly, and this girl...

    High school attendance?

    well Id consider anything in the double digits to be bad attendance. 3-5 is acceptable IMO while 0-2 would be great. but anything higher is bad. like 15+ days per term effectectively means that once per week you are a no show. as far as not recieving your school certificate, i think its...

    1st Year electives

    yea, I've had a little look at the courses at cofa and the range doesnt seem too great in 2nd semester. a few of the digital media courses sounded really good, except you need to be enrolled in comp sci/digital media degree to take the course :( Creative Thinking Processes sounds pretty good...

    cofa gen eds & soma1641 (video art)

    if there are no pre req's on the handbook page, then the course is taught with no assumption of prior knowledge in any field. so you should be fine.

    1st Year electives

    it says you can choose what ever you like, you just have to do certain courses that are aimed at your program. "Also, for each of the specialised programs, some Year 1 elective courses are Recommended, that is, they are suggested Year 1 electives, but any other electives may be chosen in Year...

    Post Your Timetable - S2 2009 Edition

    my guess is that since first years only have to do a few courses (eg MATH1131), which are pretty much open to first years only, there is no danger of these courses filling up if first years go last. furthermore, since 1st years are picking a lot of random electives, they give first preference...

    1st Year electives

    id like to do Finite maths in future, after I do Maths 1B though. and its only 3UoC as well, so it still wouldnt fill up my electives next semester. I'm doing PSYC 1b though as one of my electives. it looks interesting and has no prerequisites. so you might want to check that out
