Faculty of Arts and Social Science

Or

Faculty of Asians Studying in Sydney (or not...)

You kidding? Besides COFA, Arts faculty is probably the least white place at UNSW.

Chewy, don't worry about that, I met another Transfer from UTS and he wanted my notes for Contracts, Public, QMA, FINS1613 AND Criminal Law 1 (which I'm only studying now) FFFFUUUUU. We bumped into each other at uni a few times during O-week, and sigh... lo and behold he just randomly started to ask me for notes, even offering to buy them off me. I mean you're smart enough to transfer, why ask me for notes... go learn by yourself. If you can't be bothered to put in the effort, then don't come to uni. Unfortunately, in reality, most people base their friendships on a level of utility. If you are of no use to them, they dump you and stop calling you a "friend". Human beings are such complex creatures.

lol so shameless...I don't understand how they can do it with a straight face..

I am all for helping a friend in need, or even a stranger in need, but these sort of people are extraordinary, shame they don't work in the dairy industry..

btw..what did you say to him?

I think you mean most white place right?

If so, there is a reason I added (or not) to the end of my acronym.

I'm all for helping out people in need too, but it was just too sudden for my liking. I bet it's way worse at USYD too imo.

I just stayed neutral and said "I'll have a think about it. We'll see." And that was the end of that.

Are you sure about that?
In my program there's less than a quarter of Asians in them.

This message is being sent to all UNSW students:

Access to the UNSW wireless and other networks is presently provided free of charge, under the responsible use requirements, to improve the student experience at UNSW. Over 40% of students use the wireless service regularly.

Unfortunately a number of students are choosing to use the UNSW network to illegally download copyright-infringing material such as movies, videos, music, games and software. These actions place both the University and the individual responsible at risk of litigation for copyright infringement.

During 2009 over 120 copyright infringement notices were served on the University, resulting in 90 students receiving penalties from the University including loss of wireless access for a session and fines of between $480 and $1,000. This level of illegal downloads is too high.

Students should be aware that most of the files available from Torrent sites are not legal copies, and that copyright agencies constantly monitor traffic on these sites and report illegal downloads to the University. Torrent clients should always be disabled when on campus.

My preference is for IT at UNSW to continue to improve the wireless service to students.
However, if the current levels of illegal downloads continue, I will be obliged to review student downloads and divert efforts into placing restrictions on the wireless network rather than improving it.

Michael Kirby-Lewis
Director, IT at UNSW

UNSW students are badass.

after a couple of years, you would expect all the mistakes to have been spotted by now

just a quick note for anyone taking Blennerhassett's calc lectures: his notes have large white gaps in them. its a bluff. there is actually white text in all of those gaps. you can easily turn them into black text using adobe

OMG, wish i'd known that earlier XD
I can finally fit the statements on the lines

 

[dawdlex3]

kaz1: 90 students out of thousands isn't so bad =P

Might as well, the unigym is about 4x cheaper than any other commercial gym.

Red Centre's fire alarm went off AGAIN today.

Library fire alarm went off for a few seconds as well. Girl on the couch opposite me stated packing up. I just went back to reading my novel. Fire or no, I'm a finishing my chapter before I move.

With regard to this strike action business on Thursday;

Is there any way to know whether my lecture will be held? I was assuming that it is, unless told otherwise, but if there's a website I can check, that would be good. I don't really want to get there at 9:00 and have to turn around and go home again.

 

[Simo91]

If it's the 9am accounting lecture, it's still on. The discussion board on blackboard said it's still on so if that's the lecture, then yeh it's still on. well i hope so anyway or i'll be doing the same thing as you.

 

[moll.]

Someone today said that the main School affected by the strikes was ASB. I hope this is wrong. My Economics professors are supposed to be right-wing freedomists. Not sissy, greedy Arts-faculty socialists, dammit.

haha my accounting tutor said that the ASB is least affected and that they are all happy with their pay/conditions. Apparently engineering and science are going to be most affected (according to him).

Yeah, that's the one. I was sort of hoping to get an four-day weekend
