    UNSW Chatter Thread 2013

    Re: Semester 1 UNSW Chatter Thread 2013 If you're a new a student it's recommended to go to the library, where people will be set up to give you one there, until early march I believe.

    Difficulty between CHEM1011 and CHEM 1031?

    I did higher chemistry and had friends do regular, from what I recall of first semester, there wasn't that much difference between the two. In Chem1011 you spend time at the beginning going over some basic stuff that I think is omitted altogether from higher (stuff you would have done in high...

    Want to know if you made it into your preferred UNSW course before official offer?

    Re: Want to know if you made it into your preferred UNSW course before official offer This. I didn't realise I would be enrolling straight after accepting, and if you aren't prepared it can be extremely confusing.

    What courses should I be taking? Confused about majors

    You're welcome :D yeah if you're not that keen and it's not required then go for regular. It won't disadvantage you in any way and it'll probably be a lighter workload too haha.

    What courses should I be taking? Confused about majors

    Haha not at all, these were all things I didn't know either last year. I did higher chemistry last year, and from that, the content difficulty isn't that much more in my opinion. You learn pretty much 95% the same things as the people in regular chemistry with just a couple of topics added on...

    What courses should I be taking? Confused about majors

    After looking at those, yeah I would say for semester 1 enrol in Higher Chemistry (in case you decide to major in chemistry, the higher course is required), regular or higher physics (depending on your strength/interest), regular or higher mathematics and SCIF1121 (I think it would be better...

    What courses should I be taking? Confused about majors

    Just out of curiosity, what were the majors you were considering? I kinda had a major in mind when I first enrolled, mainly so that I had a course plan to follow, but I wasn't 100% committed to it, but the subjects I took ended up satisfying the stage 1 courses for all the other majors I was...

    What courses should I be taking? Confused about majors

    Even though it isn't essential to know your major until the end of the year when you declare it, it is advantageous to have an idea of what you possibly want to do. In the case of your example, if you decided at the end of the year that you wanted to major in Earth Science but you hadn't done...

    Timetabling and class times

    Depends on the lab. Biology labs pretty much always finish early since they're 3 hours, but depending on how fast you work, you may be pressed for time to finish early in chemistry. But regardless, they usually try to get everyone out of the lab by 5 past, whether you've finished the work or...

    Questions on Arts Majors

    Doing any HSC science will give you an advantage because you will already have a really good understanding of aim, hypothesis, method, results and discussion. In semester 1, you complete an entire section on scientific method which is assessable in both the mid-semester and final exams...

    Questions on Arts Majors

    I don't really know much about history and linguistics, but I did first year psychology. The content is definitely interesting yet very easy to understand. However, at UNSW they treat it as a science, so you will be learning about scientific method and statistics as well. Also, even though the...

    For those prospective UNSW students who just got their ATARs

    Yeah there was an email sent out ages ago for YS applications. But since you're in the science faculty you might be able to become a science peer mentor. They sent out an email already and applications close like February or something.

    Share your 2012 HSC results here

    This is pretty much me too. I only bothered to do work right at the beginning and end of year 12, now I'll never know what I could have achieved.

    New retailers opening in Semester 1

    Yeah I think a lot of stores may go on the ground floor of the new student accommodation near UNSW Village. But so happy that Boost and Subway are gonna be on campus.

    Living in Kensington

    On Anzac Parade there is plenty of cafes (Gloria Genes, 85 degrees, and various Asian ones), a few asian supermarkets and an IGA (grocery store), a laundromat near the funeral home, a newsagent (also near the funeral home), a couple of pubs, heaps and heaps of Asian restaurants, as well as fast...

    Difference between Science courses?

    Pretty much yes, but there are a few classes such as SCIF1121 (lol) and the SCIF Research Internships that are only available to Adv Science students. So even though you wouldn't have the Advanced title, I guess you would still have that research experience, that wouldn't have been available to...
