    Exam gloating/whinging thread

    FINS1613 exam --> Wanted to rip the entire paper to shreds. Obviously did bad in it. As did a number of other people. It doesn't deserve a fuck. MGMT1001 exam --> Two hours and a little bit certainly isn't enough time to finish 40 MCQ and two essay questions, especially when said essay...

    UNSW Style - Gangnam Style Parody

    Thanks! ;) And nah, it was less annoying than that. Basically, we had to memorize 10 theories and apply 4 of those theories to two essay questions that were based on a case study that was given to us a couple of days before the exam. Not difficult, just annoying because it took up a lot of time...

    UNSW Style - Gangnam Style Parody

    Nah, nothing happened. Did fairly alright in it. Only regret I have was not having more time to actually properly do the two essay questions. I knew the answers to them, but I didn't have time to properly structure everything and make it flow, so all my sentences looked like crap and I only...

    UNSW Subject Reviews.

    Luckily, I already ripped this course up in the CATEI evaluation. In a polite manner, I hinted that the entire course was shit, the textbook was shit, the lecturers were shit, the fact that they didn't hand back the quizzes even though they clearly stated that they would provide substantial...

    Every single time someone says "exponentially", it just reminds me of the MGMT1001 exam I just took today. *headdesk*

    2012 Semester 2 UNSW Chatter Thread

    We still lose marks. Why are they punishing us for giving a wrong answer? At least we're attempting the question. I don't see the point in negative marking. Scaling, maybe. Negative marking, nope. ...at least, not for any Commerce subject. I can definitely see the need for negative marking in...

    Korean rollcall

    Wow, people sure are crowding to take it. But that's understandable. x'D I also hope that they'll open a new lecture stream. But I also heard that UNSW's been cutting classes to reduce expenses? So that seems slightly unlikely...

    Fffuuuu- there was negative marking for ACCT1511?!

    Korean rollcall

    Er, maybe? If I end up passing FINS1613, I'll consider doing Korean 1A next semester... (If it isn't full yet, of course.)

    For ACCT1511? I'll remember that when I take it.

    2012 Semester 2 UNSW Chatter Thread

    Word of advice: People would still rather choose Monday tutorials (afternoon tutes) over Friday tutorials. They like their three day weekends. Me, I have a four day weekend. Monday to Wednesday, then every day after that is off. There's a trade-off to make. *shrugs*

    Nice knowing that you don't like having fun. Good song or not, hyped up song or not, I'd go to any decent university that has students that do things like this, just because it means that your social life will probably be better there. Who wants to go to a university that's just all about...

    Weird Enrollment Question :|

    ^ What she said above. I think a majority of the students enrolled in the classes right now are continuing students. You have to understand though, that you have no idea who is going to be in your class until you actually go to the class. You could be lucky and have several locals in your class...

    Assumed math knowledge in FINS1613 / ECON1203 ?

    Calculus? I don't know about Calculus (FINS1613 has none), but that's probably because I'm not planning to major in Finance. Sorry I can't be of much help there. ;( And I think... hrm, nah, not really. Not much assumed knowledge needed. Just know your math, maybe know a little bit about...

    Assumed math knowledge in FINS1613 / ECON1203 ?

    I'm an international student, so I don't know what specific subjects you should study before the semester starts, but I would encourage you to rent (not buy, since the textbook might change next year) the FINS1613 textbook for this semester and use that to prepare for next year, since FINS1613...

    Exactly. The MV was hilarious. It's definitely achieved its purposes, its goals, but at the same time, it's left us K-Pop fans really skeptical about, well, everything. >__<;

    UNSW Style - Gangnam Style Parody

    Oh, I can definitely see the homosexual comments spewing out of foreigners' mouths for the guy groups. They'd be all, "The fuck, why are they wearing mascara? They must be gay!" =/ Not much, unfortunately. Many foreigners just don't care enough about other cultures to listen to their songs, no...

    UNSW Style - Gangnam Style Parody

    I'd have to agree with that. Gangnam Style brings off the wrong impression to others about K-Pop. It makes them think that K-Pop is just comic relief, when in fact, it's not. I can certainly understand why Tiger JK got pissed at the audience members for repeatedly asking him to do the horse...
