    Semester 2 USYD Chatter Thread

    Does anyone know what to do if I need to get special permission to pre-enrol for a subject? I know to fill out the special permission form, but when do I have it in, etc?

    Pre-enrolment is open. At least, for me.

    Attendance in year 12??

    Not sure if this is a statewide policy, but my school had an 85% attendance rate to receive the HSC.

    Unit of Study Results [Sem 1 2012]

    All of my results are out. Some of it is a little disappointing but I guess it's alright. I'm most surprised about MATH1015 since I was on a low pass before. BIOL1003 (Human Biology) - 73 (C) MATH1011 (Applications of Calculus) - 66 (C) MATH1015 (Biostatistics) - 63 (P) PHYS1001 (Physics...

    Re: Unit of Study Results Psych marks are out. Little disappointed with the exam mark but I guess you can't argue with the overall mark. 78 (D)!

    Series and Sequences - Sum of a series

    First, you simplify the equations including the parameters which you need to find: T6 = 23 = a + (6-1).d = a + 5d -(1) S10 = 210 = 10/2 [2a + (10-1).d] = 5(2a + 9d) 42 = 2a + 9d -(2) (1)*2 46 = 2a + 10d -(3) Then, using simultaneous equations, find a and d. (3)-(2) d=4 substitute d...

    Psychology: USyd, UNSW or MacU?

    It's pretty much the essential requirement. Psychiatrists are doctors who specialise in mental illness, so a degree and completion of specialisation is required to become a registered psychiatrist.

    Psychology: USyd, UNSW or MacU?

    I've heard that Macquarie is good with psych, I won't deny that, and employer reputation is also good but its reputation only seems to be restricted to the national level. Call me picky or elitist, but I don't want to be stuck in Australia for the rest of my life and choosing a university with...

    English Adv Mod C Question

    You should make a reference to the Minotaur and its origin in Greek mythology but simply stating it won't get you anywhere. You should be making the comment that the poem is an allusion to the Greek myth of the minotaur and back the statement up with a sentence or two on how the allusion has...

    Year 10 Subject Selection for HSC

    I'd agree with everyone that studying chemistry is going to help the most with medicine, but biology is a good supporting subject. It's mainly about animal and plant biology in Year 11, but it really picks up in Year 12 since the focus is nearly exclusively human biology where you study things...

    biology -> molecular bio?

    I've gathered from pretty much everyone I talk to that MBLG1001 is significantly harder than introductory biology units. With a 70% fail rate per year, it's fairly intimidating. You might not want to do it if you haven't done chemistry. If you want something that won't be as hard, then think...

    ATAR cut offs

    Depends if the cut-offs change. If it drops less than or equal to the year's cut-off, then you're pretty much guaranteed entry. That's because cut-offs for a year are determined by the lowest admitted ATAR for a course at an institution. If it goes above, then the chances are going to decrease...

    Being Perfect ??

    Definitely read the textbook, but only the parts covered in lectures. It's quite a bit, but it's important if you want to get better than a pass, I guess.

    Being Perfect ??

    The super quiz isn't anything like the end-of-semester exam. It's just all of the quizzes throughout the semester compiled into one massive quiz. If you want to see what the exam is going to be like, try the practice exam. It's only 14 questions but it really gets you to think. I thought I was...

    Tosin Abasi

    A new genius of guitar. I do hate the djent bandwagon jumping on Animals as Leaders and Tosin, it's alright but there's so much more to the music than that chug. Less djent, more masterful prog guitar work.

    Semester 1 USYD Chatter Thread

    All my friends keep telling me how annoying it is when campaigners start talking to them. I don't get it, I never had this problem. But the long hair and black t-shirts might've been deterring enough. Not that I want to have campaigners talk to me. I'm glad they didn't bother me.

    Uni course of theoretical physics?

    If you can get into them, then try to get into UMelb and ANU for physics. They're much better at physics than UNSW and USyd, and that shows in the international rankings. I also hear that UMelb only ranks well because it follows the international system and the social life is shit, but maybe you...

    Uni course of theoretical physics?

    Can't say for UNSW, but USyd doesn't have a course on theoretical physics. The best I can think of is to major in physics within a Bachelor of Science degree with a focus on modern physics, then do your honours and postgraduate research in theoretical physics. Getting into a BSc at USyd is about...

    BSc Geophysics - UNSW, USYD, Macq or UTS

    Now, I don't do geophysics or geoscience in any way. However, if you want to compare the faculties you're after, I use this site very often as my how-to guide for everything regarding universities and faculties around the world and in Australia...
