    Nice places to go within 3km of UNSW and accessible by bus

    In terms of shopping centres: I went to Eastgardens Westfield just south of UNSW during my 5 hour break and it wasn't that great. I've been to Moore Park supra centre (long time ago before coming to UNSW) also (not sure if 3km range) but that too was quite boring. Best bet is either Coogee...

    Assumed Knowledge

    There are no formal prerequisites for Computer Science at UNSW, however the assumed knowledge is Extension 1 Mathematics. Having that said, if you're coming in from a background of General Maths only, you will struggle with the content. In 1st year, you will cover MATH1131 which is essentially...

    Graduating with Distinction?

    I think the transcript at UNSW too have the completed degree program and respective marks to your courses, but if I recall correctly it doesn't include your WAM. As for the degree though, I have absolutely no idea. Probably best to ask your faculty.

    electives question..

    Gen Ed is something you take outside your faculty (Engineering), so no COMP courses are allowed.

    Job prospects for chemical engineering

    Wow, looking about 13 years back can make a lot of difference. 84.3 in 2001 and 61.6 in 2014 for Chemical Engineering in full time employment.

    Job prospects for chemical engineering

    Yeah I've heard this too. Apparently, its Industrial Chemistry Engineering if you want to become a Chemical Engineer. Am I right? Gee I don't even know my stuff... hahah

    Discrete maths in first semester or second semester

    There is a lot of using proof type questions in MATH1081 as opposed to MATH1131/41. I think the only part in MATH1081 is assumed from 3U is Mathematical Induction? For the most part, its new stuff and is quite important to Computer Science (ie. graph theory/trees - which you will use in 2nd...

    Is there a reason for going to lectures at UNSW when they get recorded anyway?

    I reckon attending lectures is a good habit towards learning, only because I get easily distracted if a watch an ECHO360 video from home. The way how UNSW records its lectures is by audio and activities on the computer OR the use of a document camera. Its not the same as the recorded videos...

    Discrete maths in first semester or second semester

    He told that he'll most likely be taking it 2nd semester, along with some other bloke, Jim Franklin. Having that said, he's been teaching in 2nd semester for a couple years now in a row.

    Discrete maths in first semester or second semester

    I'm doing MATH1081 (Discrete Math) this semester, but I would do it Semester 2 purely because of the lecturer (David Angell - the best lecturer for MATH1081 there is), but I guess Trenery and Wildberger would be alright. Well I'm taking it this semester because I'll be taking MATH3411...
