general UNSW chit-chat (2 Viewers)

[elfm]

more like a wam thruster

 

[Bobness]

Cool. I can't wait until Sem 1 results get released. Expecting a good result from my WAM booster (Gen Ed).

But ... you're a first year? I didn't think we could do gen ed until we've done at least 48 credit points (what degree r jew in?)

Why would you think that?

 

[Casmira]

I'm going to take you up on this offer.

suppose it cant be as bad as having that "iced coffee" i asked for awhile ago, its like he dipped the spoon of death in some vat of primordial soup and filled it in a cup

 

[Frigid]

I'm not allowed to do GenEd's either (because I do a double degree), and yet i've done two.

how'd you get into them? just enrol?

 

[Chris.]

whats a pass conceded mark? 48-50%?

 

[Dumsum]

Finally, this semester is over. Having 2 exams on the last 2 days of the exam period is definitely FTL.

 

[elfm]

whats a pass conceded mark? 48-50%?

46-49 i think

umm if you do geneds when it's not in ur degree, doesn't it mean it doesn't count towards hecs? i.e. you have to pay the full fee for it?

 

[Bobness]

Yes.

You can do any course you want at UNSW really - and it all gets charged to HECS. The GenEd's are charged like any other course. Technically, the only reason people don't do GenEd's when they don't have to is because you have to pay for it later. But I wanted to learn other crap, so I did it.

Fuck that i might do gen eds next sem then.

Which ones did you do politik and would you recommend it?

I heard GENS8001 Work and safety and GENS8002 Sports performance and Injury Prevention are interesting and relatively easy.

Thoughts?

Btw thanks for the insight, alan.

(and as a commercetype student am i still allowed to do gen eds from the faculty of business or law)

 

[elfm]

ur allowed to do 3 units from ur faculty

hiv and other infectious diseases is a very easy course... much easier than work and safety. both online courses

 

[Bobness]

No i meant 'not allowed' as in, if i did it i wouldn't be awarded my degree.

I was going by what politik said about how many things aren't 'allowed' but nonetheless are not enforced.

What other online courses are there?

I have AIDS will that halp me for layk hiv ?

 

[elfm]

one of the mining engineering geneds are also online... forgot what its called... look at the handbook

 

[cuppy]

so..has everybody heard the Gym Class Heroes will be performing at the Roundhouse on Sunday 29th June? i think tickets are around $49 or something

cool

Politik i know you're reading this, at least have the fucking decency to PM me a yes/no response.

I'd appreciate it.

Kthnx

You can take geneds from your own faculty, but only a maximum of 3 UOC. You can enrol in a maximum of 6 UOC from any one faculty other than your own, all of which will count towards your total of 12 UOC.

 

[Curry]

I bet they really.. drill the knowledge into you?

I heard it's.. a bit of a bore?

etc etc

Hee provisional distinctions so far, still waiting on other results *rolls around*

Aw god, leave it on .social.

Also, the mining gened is really easy if you want an WAM booster.

i dont know what the hell ur on about.

but i haven't actually done the course before in case ur interested.

 

[wind]

You'll have to pay attention or you might... undermine your good intentions.

Maybe... dig up some dirt on the lecturers and course material to give you an idea.

You never know, it could probably be a... diamond in the rough sorta course

 

[uhawww]

puntastic

 

[Chris.]

a total of 2 and a half hours travel for a 2 hour marketing lecture..is it worth it?
