    leaving gifts for teachers

    Tshirt / mug / something with a quote they say often? Give them something that relates to them. E.g. for our maths teacher, we gave him a nice tie (he always wears the same one) and a sand bucket which we decorated (he always carries around a yoghurt bucket / container with chalk/markers etc)...

    TPG is epic cheap. Reception is good because it's on the optus network.

    UTS vs Macq for Business or Commerce with Comp Engineering + Question on HSC Plus

    Oops, should be B Eng / B Commerce then. UNSW's system is weird, because computer science is grouped with all the related degrees it is also under the Faculty of Engineering, even though it's listed as a science degree.

    UTS vs Macq for Business or Commerce with Comp Engineering + Question on HSC Plus

    Yep - it's under 'B Eng Bioinf, Comp or Soft' here: http://iaro.online.unsw.edu.au/pls/non/hsc_bonus_points.main Happened last year - although for the people I know, they were quite close if you add on the bonus points (within about 1 or 2 ATAR points) and they got high eighties. Whether it...

    Boolean data type for Male/Female Field is incorrect?

    @Troll - a '1' or '0' does not take as much memory as a 'M' or 'F' if you are storing it correctly. Boolean = two values only, pretty sure there are more than two types of characters :P @MrBrightside There's an extensive discussion here, I'd look at OMG Ponies' answer...

    Is weather forecasting an example of a semi-structured situation?

    Can you post up the original question? From the syllabus, disaster relief management is definitely under unstructured. Even though there is data coming from BOM, there is no specific procedure for arriving at a conclusion because natural disasters occur under very different circumstances. This...

    Is weather forecasting an example of a semi-structured situation?

    I would say yes - the requirements are clear and the procedure for arriving at a solution is known. (definitely not unstructured) But we don't know the procedure for obtaining the best solution (it's often wrong...) Not entirely sure how weather forecasting is done but I don't think all...

    Is doing maths necessary?

    So you're saying you are decent at it but aren't doing well in tests? Then maybe you should consider taking it, and just improving your exam technique. A lot of people here on BoS can help with that. At least try it out - you can always drop it later if you still think it is useless later on...
