The replies by the others are great, but I'll add a little colour to them for the unaccustomed. Assuming you're running linux in some form (if you're not, at least just download the CSE Linux off the CSE department's website and run it in vmware) all you would have to type in a terminal window...

Sweet :). I haven't seen any in the lecture rooms, though, are there any under the seats or somewhere like that or am I at the mercy of my battery?

Hi UNSW. What chances, if any, would I get to charge a laptop at the uni? I have a fair few 2-3 hour breaks so I could just go to the library (I would be able to charge it there, right?) but I'm also curious if some tutorial or lecture rooms have power points. I'm trying to decide whether I...

Hmm... interesting. I just fell short of 98 ATAR, so from what I remember I'll have to do very well this year if I am to get permission to overload next year. If I don't do well enough, I might try one of those institute courses. Anyone know about the summer semester? ashllis92: I've learned a...

I'm sure I've read the answer to this somewhere else and I tried a search on here and various other places yet I couldn't find the answer. I'm thinking of doing a diploma at the same time as doing engineering as I would really like to learn a language or two on the side. So my two questions are...

I was thinking of that, but would that necessarily effect my ability to perform in the other semester 2 subjects? As long as it's not a prerequisite for anything that year it should be OK, right?

The way I understand it, you would normally only have 1 major. "Students should apply to the CSE Student Office for the addition of a second major." If my knowledge of Masters degrees programs is correct, then I would assume you either do 1 major and a research project or two majors. That...

Hi everyone. I'm going to be an Aerospace or Mechatronics student this year (still haven't quite chosen but I'm leaning toward Mechatronics). I've been looking at the plan for a while now and have been excited about these general electives because I would like to learn a language (probably...

Nevermind, I contacted the service desk via phone and they gave it to me right away.

I was thinking that someone from UNSW wanted to either exchange to MIT or do postgrads there.

Hey everyone... having accepted my offer last night, I forgot to write down my UNSW ID. Is there any way to find it out automatically? You'd think it was possible to have it e-mailed to my personal e-mail address. Has anyone run into the same situation, and if so, do you have any ideas on how I...

I think 15 is out of the question but 12 or 13, can be done easily if your essay was good. Off-topic for a moment here, who will win? Gun or chainsaw? Inappropriate moment to ask? Yeah, I thought so, too :(. :shoot::chainsaw:

I understand why those who read the question would be upset if they didn't have enough content to cover up the removal of a related texts. I also understand why they would be upset if they did have enough content. To be fair on the people who answered the question correctly, I believe that they...

Exactly. Don't be panicking if you felt you didn't write enough - of course, a 2 or 3 page essay is never going to get full marks, but it can still get a decent score as you say. If you make sure you write a quality essay, length won't have that much of an effect. If everything you write is bad...

Honestly if they ask for three (and they won't) just do two anyway. How many marks are you going to lose, 3? Besides, you'll end up having far more depth than most other people, meaning you'll get the same or better anyway.

Can't argue with that. I hereby retract any misinformed comments I have previously made. If it asks for "your personal response", then it seems they expect a first person response. Otherwise, I still believe the choice can be made at the writer's discretion unless there's some sort of phrase to...

It's all about the money. At least, that's I think is in many engineer's minds. We engineering students don't tend to be the best candidates for Art, considering that the many of the main skills required for engineering tend to be the polar opposites of those required for Arts. It makes me angry...

A-ha! Now that's something I wish I'd known a long time ago. Thanks, witide, now my mind is at ease. +rep.

I was referring to the BE/BA combined degree plan. It's hard to know which units I could put off to second year from the first year and which units I can put off to third year from the second year, etc. while still fulfilling the prerequisites for each unit. Oh well, looks like I'll just do it...

I was referring to your homophone/grammar issue with "your/you're" at the beginning of your post. Now I feel like a douchebag for bothering to point it out. As Aerath rightly said, they don't always give questions like that, and so you're probably better off sticking with third person rather...
