What did everyone thiiiiink? Especially the business kids...

 

[jooobl]

stressful, boring. 5 hours straight sucks. esp when its in the city.

 

[Ricky09]

City is alright. More to do there than KG.

I thought the work was pretty straightforward myself. Just very dense, and it will take a long time to memorise all of it.

I liked my long break in the city... But the long lecture was too much. It was obvious that after the first one people just couldn't absorb so much dense information anymore. The lab in the morning was fine, personally. I thought it moved a little quickly though. heh I guess you just have to cope.

Well 3 years back...first lecture was a bit of a shock compared to small classes at high school. It did get a tad boring, and it had one of the most boring lecturers I have had at UTS. I still jotted down notes. And I still write down important details in the lectures and take university seriously =).

My tip for success at university
- listen in class,
- take down notes,
- ask questions,
- contribute to lecutres and tutorials
- take part in as many presentations as you could - many people are scared of public speaking and you get ample opportunity to practice public speaking at university
- take part in extracurricular activities such as camp organisation (Yellow shirts in IT), SPROUTS and various other competitions.
- stress less
- get a year planner from the Co-op bookshop and mark all the due dates as in your subject outlines
- buy a proper decent diary (I don't like the union diaries - they have more junk in them!) - try plan your week or at least the next day
- find work - nothing better than having practical first hand experience. Get out of Kmart, Maccas or Target...any sorts of departmental stores - trust me office jobs can be a lot more satisfying and you learn more!

Good luck...and at university time flies away so make friends and have a balance!

[Superstar44]

boring... i was expecting harder work ... so basic O.O i know i shall be kicking myself later saying its all getting harder... but the subject outlines look easy too just lots of work to be handed in tedious....
last two days have been more stressful trying to figure out where rooms are, remembering people's names, sorting timetables and trying to buy materials that keep running out because everyone is buying them

I hate uni at the moment. I feel like I just don’t give a shit anymore, after being so hyped up about it for the last year or so. Perhaps, I haven’t adapted to having to again push myself into a study routine, as I’ve been on holidays for a few months. The work is also too basic for my liking and its nothing more then shit boring, as I’ve learnt a majority of it 1000 times in year 12. But, then again, I feel bad, if I’m not doing any work.

Anyone else, share similar feelings?

 

[jemsta]

well the first few weeks of uni is basically revision of last years work, ie chemistry, maths etc
im sure youll enjoy learning new things as the semester progresses, so dont give up yet
im sure youll be fine
