    Post Your Timetable - S1 2010 Edition

    all true, but this is exactly why I hated psych after the final exam i didnt feel i had learnt anything during the semester that i couldnt have learnt by reading the lecture notes + textbook @justina: with timetables like that, couldnt you overload and finish your degree a semester/year earlier?

    bonus points question

    strictly speaking, no. it is possible that so many students put down unsw commerce as their 1st preference that the atar requirement jumps to 98.05 but if you did get 90, then with 5 bonus points you would have a good shot of getting in. id say the required atars are not strict, but more of...

    Good RPG's?

    ironic how people mispronounce runescape as rune-scape. the correct way to say it is run-escape thats some good advice to regarding that game

    A Satire.

    This sounds like a better reason. if you read two similar books, loving one and hating the other, exploring why this is so seems alright. I do remember hearing of one critical essay where a student loved the TV show Buffy, but in general found teen tv repulsive. the essay kind of explored what...

    Good RPG's?

    the might and magic games in general are pretty good (except that the graphics are outdated now), but dark messiah is very different and not in a good way. whole series has declined since 3DO went out and Ubisoft came in I just watched the dragon age origins video review at gamespot and they...

    Good RPG's?

    -the NWN games are pretty good -everyone seems to love diablo but I didnt like it that much, the hack n slash gets very repetitive after a few hours (if you like diablo, check out titan quest though, very similar) -baldurs gate is pretty good, its like old NWN but you control several people...

    Should i transfer into UWS from UNSW?

    im not bashing uws but beefnoodles reasons dont really hold up. if you can go to unsw and save hours in travel time it would seem to me to be a good thing to do

    A Satire.

    i think planck is being quite negative is his views toward ee2 creativity is not at all frowned upon, poetry, creative writing, a speech or a video all require creativity. even critical essay needs a certain level of creativity as you need to pick an interesting topic. writing an essay on the...

    Computing

    1911 is definately easier than 1917 since 1911 covers the same content as 1917 just slower to give you more time to learn content. ive not done 1811, but i believe that if you do 1811 and want to do more computing, the next step is 1911 which implies a hierarchy of 1917 > 1911 > 1811 i think...

    First Place in Course

    actually jake, i think you might be right. not because your argument makes logical sense, but because its sheer illogicality is exactly what the board of studies has a good history of practicing

    First Place in Course

    indeed, elaborate 4u & 2u english are extremely different subjects. judging 4u by 2u makes little sense

    No combined advanced science?

    if your ultimate goal is to become an engineer, then why bother with an advanced science degree...? (ive always thought people who want to do advanced science are dead set on becoming scientists, thats why you cant combine it with anything, cause a double in anything would detract you from...

    Travel time to UNSW?

    you must also factor in wait time. usually a 5 minute wait for the express bus to unsw but no one will choose uts over unsw because of travel times. too close, like a few km's apart. maybe if it was MQ vs UWS vs. UNSW (also that bus ride to unsw really helps with last minute cramming for...

    Travel time to UNSW?

    just a note for future students, if you come to uni in the afternoon, 2pm or later, you usually want to take the 391/393/395 to unsw instead of the express buses because in the afternoon express buses come every 30 minutes. so its better to get on a 395 and get to uni in 25 minutes, then wait...

    UNSW or UTS, that is the question...

    id say it depends on the uts co-op program. ifs its not absolute crap and you are getting some experience at a good/excellent company + scholarship money, then uts would probably be the way to go but i would also factor in your plans in 4/5 years. if you want to finish uni and get straight...

    Travel time to UNSW?

    from experience, id say the travel time is about 35-40 minutes each way for an average student. takes me 1 hour on a good day, but I know a few people who travel nearly 2 hours to get to unsw OP: what exactly are you trying to get out of this thread?

    BCom or Economics (what's the dif)?

    the unsw open day lecturer last year spent about 20 minutes explaining how people with B Eco get paid more than people with B Comm. its now 1 year later i dont remember anything else he said (other than his pronunciation, eee-conomics rather than ec-onomics) but there ya go, thats all i know
