Examiners are looking for an integrated approach on the subject, rather than chapters dividing the subject matter. That is, a good PIP is one that integrate by comparing and contrasting the Vietnam and Iraqi war THROUGHOUT the entire PIP, not just something you decide to tag on in the last...

I'm still here even though I don't officially mod the UNSW forum. :)

You have to be far more specific in your topic then that. We cannot offer much help on such a broad topic.

Great, then you are on your way! I found pyschology a bit boring to be honest and I don't know why it is such a popular elective in first year (over 800 students in first year psychology). Anyway, who knows what will happen in 2 years time. Your perception may change when it comes to choosing...

The courses may have changed since Tim and I did it. This is often the case because you may get a different course co-ordinator every year so they like to run it differently.

If the adv and standard classes run in parallel, then it won't be a problem. You timetable will change if classes run at different times.

I'd say go for B Science majoring in genetics. There is not much "engineering" in genetic engineering. Biomedical engineering is more specialised for creating artificial limbs and heart valves etc.

The Student Diagnostic Unit (SDU) is a 4-day event ran over the mid-session break. It stimulates what usually goes on in a diagnostic hospital. You will be given urine samples, faecal samples, blood, wound swabs etc from patients and you become a hospital scientist and help diagnose the...

Preferably a supervisor you get along with.

Some supervisors prefer students majoring in the relevant areas. Some are less strict (similar disciplines are still okay. e.g. within the same school). Obviously you cannot go for a physics project when you are majoring in immunology.

Your topic is definitely related to Society and Culture. You can add a level of complexity to your topic by consider the concepts of continuity and change in censorship over time. How has censorship changed from Vietnam war to the Iraqi war? What aspects have remained the same? More important...

Well done! I hope you'll enjoy the course. Don't worry about medicine - that are many ways you can get into Medicine further down the track. Who knows what you will end up liking in the next 3-4 years?

I highly doubt it.

The School of BABS is one of the largest school in the unviersity. It takes about 70 Honours students a year, these students have a wide range of interests including Microbiology and Immunology, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Genetics and Biotechnology. Not all 70 are based in BABS - some of...

The min. WAM requirement is 65 (Credit). The higher your WAM, the more competitive you are in getting your desired supervisor/project. :) A supervisor will usually take 1 student a year because there is so much work involved. However, some supervisors may take more than 1. Your supervisor...

The Faculty of Science offers Summer Research Scholarships every year. One of the eligibilities is you have to be in your 2nd or 3rd year. However, in exceptional cases, if your marks are outstanding, you will be offered a scholarship. Check the Faculty Website around June or July.

Sure. Selection process: Apply online, it is a long process and it took me months to fill in the application form and make changes until I was happy with it, mainly with the extended responses. Need 3 references. You should discuss your projects with a potential supervisor first through...

Let me just clarify if you decide to apply to Cambridge or Oxford for undergraduate studies. There are 31 colleges in Cambridge. You have to apply to a specific college for a specific degree. You may choose to apply to one or more colleges if you like. My college accepts 2 law students a...

From my observation of the course over the past few years, the assessments in this course tend to change each year, it is very difficult to tell you exactly the weighting of each assessment. The Final Exam is almost always worth 40%. There will be a mid-session exam (10-12.5%). - Week 7 or 8. A...

Apparently they do.
