    Semester 1 USYD Chatter Thread

    Yeah I was surprised about MATH2961. It was pretty similar to the 2013 exam.

    Semester 1 USYD Chatter Thread

    So, somebody approached me in the Carslaw toilets this morning, said he was in the middle of an exam and offered me $50 to use my phone. The lows some people will sink to just amazes me.

    So I've heard. Think that's what I'll do now.

    Semester 1 USYD Chatter Thread

    Yeah? Was there anything particularly difficult about the subject? I was using it for my junior science credit points, but I'm considering replacing it with MATH3061 and doing HPSC1000 next semester instead.

    Semester 1 USYD Chatter Thread

    Ah yes well I'll have my morning coffee so I won't have problems with that haha. My main problem is the one and half hour commute. Although if I leave when I have to I might avoid the peak hour traffic.

    Semester 1 USYD Chatter Thread

    Yep. I'll see how long it takes before I get sick of the early starts haha. PHYS1500 is very interesting and not hard by any means, but there is a LOT of content to memorise. If you don't intend to put a lot of effort into it, I wouldn't do it. Same goes for Psychology I would think. I'm...

    Yeah I haven't got mine yet either. Give it a day or two.

    Semester 1 USYD Chatter Thread

    Nah I was in Civil Engineering Lecture Room 5. Bottom of the alphabet. :) Oh wow, that bad huh? I'm only expecting about 95 myself. Which is really embarrassing because I probably won't get that 100 WAM now :(.

    Transfer from Law (UOW) > Arts/Science (USYD)?

    You apply through UAC, the process is the same as it was when you applied straight from school.

    Know that feeling haha. Oh well, on the bright side, no more Analysis :). ------------------ By the way, how was MATH3066? I'll probably end up doing that next year.

    Transfer from Law (UOW) > Arts/Science (USYD)?

    1. Yes. Seeing as you've only done half a year of tertiary study they will judge you on your ATAR alone, but if yours was high enough to get into law at Wollongong then you should be fine. 2. Not sure about the requirements at UNSW, but at USYD you will have to do 12 credit points worth of...

    Second semester way too busy on my timetable

    I'm actually at USYD, but I did go to Macquarie for one semester, plus my brother and pretty much all my friends go there, so I know quite a bit about Macquarie and the set up there :). That workload is definitely manageable, you just have to plan your time wisely. Generally if a subject has...

    Dropped engineering, now doing commerce, but physics finals

    No you don't. Unless you wanted to apply for credit and use them as electives in your new degree.

    Same sex marriages

    Child custody is more of a family issue though, rather than one of marriage. Marriage and family are distinct concepts; while marriage creates a family, you can have a family without marriage. Unmarried same sex couples are perfectly able to start their own families by adopting or surrogacy, so...

    Second semester way too busy on my timetable

    No your workload seems pretty standard to me. Your degree has a bit of an interesting structure; most of your first year science units (e.g. Discrete Maths, Information Systems, Computer Science) are offered in the second semester. I'm assuming that in your first semester you did COMP115...

    Same sex marriages

    It was my understanding that there was a difference between married couples and couples in civil unions in terms of the legal and financial benefits they are entitled to. Same would go for any relationship not recognised by the state. Because if they already have the same benefits as each other...

    Math2065 vs math2068

    Yes well I'm hoping I can keep my attendance consistent haha. Were the lectures recorded when you did it?

    Same sex marriages

    I agree with you on the refutations of the common arguments, I never believed them to be particularly valid anyway. But I'll ask you the same question that I asked previously, because I haven't seen it been adequately refuted yet. Why do you think allowing gays to marry would be a superior...

    Semester 1 USYD Chatter Thread

    I'm going off this: http://www.maths.usyd.edu.au/u/UG/TU/YR2ADMIN/r/info/pathways.pdf Technically it says they are prerequisites but seeing as the handbook doesn't say so I'd just take it as a strong recommendation.
