    Difference between computing/higher computing for employer?

    Quote Richard Buckland, magical teacher: "When you walk in a job interview, they wouldn't spare a glance at your WAM, let alone what you got for task 2 in COMP1917 back then in 2008" and he apologized on behalf of educators for the HSC :D in short, it doesn't matter. Pick whatever you please.

    Tutorial attendance for MATH1231

    nothing to worry about, I missed half of my tuts and most of the lecs for 1131 but they didn't bother asking.

    AAAAGGH - Turn off Your Torrent Client on Campus!

    agreed. I don't think that's the way they track torrents. I'm not really sure how though, not geeky enough btw is the ToS against the general use of torrents in general? Even if the content is legal? haha...so there is a geek chick in UNSW IT services....gender balance finally achieved...

    Should I go into College or UNSW???

    I'd say UNSW Village, I will be moving there comes next year :D I think $225 with electricity & gas isn't too bad, sure it's more expensive than renting a room, but it seems really convenient. Anyway, I would have rented a room long ago but my mom would let me move out iff I stay somewhere...

    AAAAGGH - Turn off Your Torrent Client on Campus!

    It's not very believable if you ask me. I might not know much about P2P protocol, but I don't think it's that easy to pinpoint exactly what data has been transmitted to which user....Then again I might be ignorant, in which case: megaupload fyeah :D

    How to get to UNSW by public transport

    891, 393, 395 from Eddy Ave (also 393 from Railway Square) you need a Travel Ten Brown, or a Travel Pass edit: 891 is express to UNSW, but b careful to check, it only runs in the morning during holidays

    Anyone doing MATH1131 who did only 2U Math in High School?

    I've heard many teachers & smart people telling you to forget about your HSC upon entering uni, and I agree completely. Still, many like to hang on to that.

    The S1 2009 Results Prediction/Real Thread

    Are you talking about Higher Topology and Differential Geometry - MATH3701? Coz I'm planning to do it in 3rd year. It's useful for computer graphic, yes?

    Anyone doing MATH1131 who did only 2U Math in High School?

    I mean you don't have to fret over them if you don't get it, or if you seem to forget all about them before the exam. btw, that's what I did... edit: oh did you use the SSS? (Student Support Scheme)

    Anyone doing MATH1131 who did only 2U Math in High School?

    MATH1011 is available next sem, you might want to check if they will let you do it. Or you might just repeat 1131, but be sure to work extra hard, and well, I know this doesn't sound like a good idea, but if it's too much for you, consider dropping some stuff like hyperbolic functions &...

    Rate your lecturers

    On a scale of 10, please rate any lecturers you can remember, also give some comments if you can^^ MATH1131: Blennerhassett: 7/10 could be good if you actually pay attention to him, which is what I never did D: Pahor: 7/10 Algebra was really boring, but he's quite a good teacher MATH1081...

    How much are regular uni fees opposed to full-fees?

    I don't really know how to respond. If that's how you think it is, then fine I guess, I wasn't expecting anything else anyway.. Back to the topic, I talked to my friend who has permanent residency but no citizenship, and she pays $17000, so if it's important for you, be sure to check which...

    Can I Do "Bachelor of Design" With No Related Studies in Year 11 & 12?

    I'm not a COFA student, but a friend of mine (4th year B Design), told me that you might be a bit disadvantaged in 1st year, but after that it's all fine. She didn't have any experience in Visual Arts when she started either, she said it was a bit hard at first coz the ppl who had prior...

    The 'I should have...' Thread

    That's what happens in my country XD but no, I don't think that's what he meant here. It might just mean if you fail a core subject in 1st year, you still have time to repeat it without too much stress, and your potential employer wouldn't mind it too much.

    The Thread for ALL FIRST YEAR QUESTIONS.

    I think taking the sup exam doesn't mean they are just gonna replace the marks, and besides pulling out now would leave a bad mark on your records, and you might have trouble seeking consideration in later years, so I think you should just take it easy and give it your best shot.

    What the crap, still can't enrol??

    when I emailed them it was 404/415. Now somehow they managed to come up with additional places and the capacity jumped to 460...

    What the crap, still can't enrol??

    I emailed the school, they said it's FULL coz they are saving places for 'special' programs (which probably means Exchange students)
