Maybe try picking a different course then? (I am guessing this is your MEDA course that is clashing) If you need to clash, then so be it. However in general you have to consistently keep up to date with the clash issue and do weekly work to make up for it. Do you think you are up for this?

If you drop, you lose the original spots you had set in stone. I did a quick swap yesterday for a tute, but because I was already in the full lecture stream I could pick it again any way (which has been full for a long time now). Also, if it fills up while you are changing it and you can't...

Pretty good but I think you can get that down to 3 days if you wanted to. Yes in theory you should be fine if you studied properly beforehand. However if you ever find yourself in a situation like (insert your Enoilgam sig quote) at least you have some time to do some work beforehand. My...

---------- To put things in perspective I think in my class some people had answers from previous years so they just copied and pasted without ever reading the book so they could play UT/CS whereas I figured I may as well do it properly. I even did it at home so I could join in the games at...

Re: UNSW Chit Chat Thread 2015. I remember them having this last year. Iirc it was just a lunch meet up or something (I got AAA so I was invited at the time). There might be more though. Not sure if there is one, but there could be a dinner or something for your specific scholarship...

For MATH1151 you will have two exams in each tutorial for the whole semester. Might want to not have another tute right before one of them. CLB to Physics theatre is a 3 or 4 minute walk. At least it is down hill. Red Centre and Rex Vowels are literally a minute from each other walking. ASB...

NO NEVER EVER EVER DROP for this case. Always use the SWAP function instead.

Tbh I would either move it to Friday afternoon or not move it at all in that case. Up to omni to decide what they want to do however. Both the gaps on Wednesday and Friday are right before other tutes.

Seems fine. Have a few long distances to walk between classes for the Wednesday but you should be alright.

For PHYS11X1, doing preliminary HSC Physics would definitely help. Doing some of HSC Physics (just the space topic) would help too. But yeah the most important part is having good maths knowledge. Then I would consider doing preliminary Physics helpful, but HSC Physics not really that much...

This. Can be for even further back in weeks (2 or 3 weeks before or everything you have learnt so far in general too). If you have the time for it, this works well. I had one lecture last sem on Tuesday afternoons so I would go in early and spend around 4 hours with mates for a society too. I...

You can try this out later on just before the semester starts: https://www.bookshop.unsw.edu.au/ However if you wanted to grab the textbooks that were used last year for the same course (they archive it), go to the bookshop whenever you like and ask them what prescribed textbooks were...

This has happened for ENGG1000 for many, many years in the running having it clash with itself and all for first semester enrolment.

Just a few things on the timetables I have seen above. Don't put tutorials back to back. Some tutorials will have exams or homework in them and if you need time off before the tutorial to do something then you don't want to have a tutorial right before it. Having a lecture before a tutorial is...

I don't mind 8.1 without the touch screen. Been using it like as if I'm using Windows 7 at the moment. Only time I go to windows home screen is to quick search something, change a few settings, or for powering reasons (shut down, sleep, etc). Mind you prior to this I was mainly using Win XP :p...

Reminds me of the new Surface ad hahaha. Tbh I don't like touch screen based operating systems. Windows 8.1 is an exception being a hybrid and all though.

Iirc for each semester you can choose whether or not you want to pay upfront. However if you go with HECS for first semester and of course are successful in HECS application, then automatically every semester after that the payment will be deferred onto HECS.

Pretty sure you can make a better timetable. A Monday 9 am tute is not the best idea. Heck 9 am tutes in general aren't too good an idea if you rely on public transport (I turned up half an hour late to half my 9 am tutes last sem but I was actually stuck with no option but 9 am tutes...

Some students would prefer to take the burden off now than pay later while working. It is kinda like the reason behind paying for a semester of courses up front instead of deferring to HECS.

Distances is alright. I think the furthest for you is Keith Burrows to Robert Maple which is probably only 150 m which is nothing.
