    They're super efficient and just dump all your groceries in your trolley in like less than a minute. =O

    thinking of getting a nokia n97 mini

    I'm thinking of getting a Nokia N97 mini with the $49 Vodafone monthly cap. I've read a couple of reviews about it, sounds alright, but does anyone here have the phone? What do you think of it? Is it good for web browsing by wifi? How's the camera quality? Nokia Australia - Nokia N97...

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

    Uni or High School?

    Don't say that markers won't check your reference, THEY DO and via turnitin. That software gives the lecturer/tutor a percentage of how many direct quotes you used and whether you referenced them or not. Unfortunately turnitin costs a fortune and it's only available to the teaching staff. I'd...

    Readings for Tuts (& Lectures)...?

    ARGHHHHH readings. Do your readings whenever you're not working on assignments. That's about it.

    Uni or High School?

    I'd say high school. It's harder to see your friends with different days for classes and breaks what so.

    general UNSW chit-chat

    You gotta be careful with people in commerce. Some of them see the concept of "friends" as very different from the norm.

    General Education (Gen Ed) FAQ

    It's a good question actually. I would advise you go to the Robert Webster office desk and ask who you should ask to. Last time I wanted to take a linguistics elective as a free elective I went there to ask. =) They'll let you know what electives and other courses you can take.

    Class participation - what's the point?

    Class participation may be easy for a small tute, but think about 25 people in the same 1 hour tute. Ideally speaking each person should get only about 2 minutes or so for their so-called participation. Unfortunately the same few people keep talking and talking and it's so hard to just butt into...

    18 and still haven't got my apparition license (need it for uni)

    You could try getting someone to make you a portkey.

    joining club

    Aww, cheer up! Honestly I don't think clubs are very useful for improving your social life. You could try taking initiatives in catching up with your 'old friends' and keep up the friendships. Best of luck =)

    Class participation - what's the point?

    Any tips for getting higher class participation marks? How do you actually convert what you've read in readings to actual contribution in class?

    Changing tutorials and Labs at this stage?

    Are the two tutes taught by the same tutor? You two can go ask the tutor directly and see if there's a possibility of letting you change to your friend's tute.

    general UNSW chit-chat

    Oh by the way, the 'i heart unsw' stall music was super annoying today during the afternoon. I was having a tute in Webster and the repetitive music was blaring right into our room. :S
