Enough to get in Civil Engineering 2004? (5 Viewers)

[lungke]

hahaha, my timetable is alright i guess, i few 1 hour breaks

but my timetable for s2 is literally f*k'd! hawhawhaw ! got a massive 3 hour gap inbetween at times :S

 

[toto]

Yep lungke, I understand... me also hate the time for like one 9am to 10am, and then the next one is 4pm to 5 pm!

And is there any of Civil Eng. doing higher maths?? "Expected a combined 3U and 4U marks above 186"!

 

[laney]

i counted wrong, maybe i have 17. but that's still pretyt sweet
i don't have to do the maths, chems and phys and comp courses cause i did them all last year.


i went in today, and the bastard in charge was a complete dickehad. basiclaly he said he couldn't help me until the 19th when uac sorts is academic standing crap out. GRRRRRRRRRRRR
i came all the way, and i got NOTHING sorted out. fark

For the Civil Engineers:
I went to the advisory thing 2day...
And I asked them about the recognition we get for doing higher maths as opposed to jus maths.
He said that there was no benefit...
A person doing Maths is no less qualified than a person doing higher maths.
They jus get more of a workload... and harder problems...
In light of this information... I changed back to Maths
Jus though this info might be useful anyone considering higher maths...

Oh and I'm doin 20 hours with a pretty hectic timetable...
I almost have a day off on Wednesday...
Only one lecture in the morning, Maths 9 till 10
*cough* gunna jig it *cough*

but higher might b good for ppl. doing double degrees such as science for eg. coz it can help them out more.

 

[evilc]

my engineering lecturers said the exact same thing to me at the start of last year when i asked them about higher maths vs normal maths....they said "just do normal maths and get HDs"

 

[laney]

some people think normal maths is too easy and want more of a challenge.

well not only that- but others wanna do higher maths if they are doing a double degree with science- coz that can help u acheive an advanced science degree instead of a normal one!

i also heard that there's such thing as scaling when u do higher maths!

Very minor scalling on a small section of your test ...

yeah, i was in the mechanical engineering welcome- and i saw around the same percentage (around 85% boys)..

i also went to the psych. welcome and boy- there was only like 10 boys, and like 50 girls or more. LoL

Did any Civil engineer recieve an email about some tutorial thing ?

with tutes A, B n C..

What are we meant to do ? Complete the tutes online or register for a Tute (A,B,C) ?

 

[Dash]

I fink you have to go to CE201 and log onto WebCT and complete the assignment task thingo during ur assigned tute time...
But I'm fully lost myself...
That lecturer has sent us so many emails I'm starting to get confused~!

PEOPLE DOING STATICS, PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Okay, i have a problem. i came in late to the lecture, so i missed out on getting the tutorial sheet.

is the tutorial just the chapter 2.x in the statics book by Archer? they look very similar to the tutes i saw.

helpppppp!!!!

 

[lungke]

Yep i think so, 2.1 - 2.13 or 2.14

 

[laney]

lungke, which tutorial are you in? were you in the class with surnames A-K because the tutor there said he was only collecting:
2.8, 2.11, 2.12.


Soooooo, basically what you're saying is, if i have the book, i won't need the exercise sheet because they're the same, right? (i'm only freaking out cause i've never been in a class where they collect stuff for marking)

Thanks

 

[lungke]

Yeah i was in CE 713. They set 2.11 - 2.12 and 2.13

If i were you, i wouldnt care too much about it, just rock up and if u miss serveral q's copy the dude next to you.

But thats not recommended so just do everything like i did, it only took 6 hours n abit.

 

[laney]

i'll probably just do all the questions. no harm right? and especially when you have the answers there in teh book, you at least know what to aim for *nods*


[i'd also just like to point out how much of an IDIOT i am. i was late to the statics leccture so i missed the tutorial questions, i was late to the civil engineering prac lecture so i missed the lecture notes, and i didn't know where my surveying lecture was so i missed that, and missed getting a group together. so hello idiot. grrrr. and so for the last 2 days i've been trying to track down the notes with absolutely no luck. but i guess i dont' need the statics ones anymore with the book.....but yeah, i'm an idiot]

 

[lungke]

hahaha relax !

its only first week! n if u really cant track down those gay notes, i am willing to lend mine for you to photocopy all 100-300 so pages of it
