    Depending on who it is, give them until maybe Tuesday or Wednesday before applying for an appeal.

    Laptops for Uni

    But what is there that can be done with a laptop that I can't do on a computer at uni or with pen and paper? (I'm only speaking for UNSW as I don't know about other uni's). I can still print out the lecture slides, annotate them as I want, find any educational resource at uni, anything...

    LIFO and FIFO

    I have only ever been introduced to LIFO and FIFO in Computing. LIFO is like a stack. You put things on top of each other, and you take them out from the top. So the last item to go in, is the first item to come out. FIFO is like a queue. Things come in and they go out in the order that they...

    Does conceded pass still count as a pass?

    https://student.unsw.edu.au/grades Basically, it allows you to continue without having to repeat. It's a bit different from a Pass as you have certain rules and guidelines before getting a PC (Pass Conceded). Also, there is a limit of 18 UOC of PCs over all undergraduate programs, meaning you...

    MINE1010 or PSYC1001?

    The course convenor, Chris Daly, who convened a different course for me, was terrible (and that's the nice way of putting it).

    Definitely check it out with your course convenor at first. Then if in doubt and as a last resort, use the checking system.

    RTA P's Penrith

    I wouldn't want privatised firms dealing with driving tests. Also, its not like the government can just hire "Christmas casuals" like that for such a job. The job requires a lot of training and is a skill that should be kept up to date all year (to avoid having to retrain them). I literally...

    Is it worth doing Electrical Engineering/Computer Science?

    It will help to a certain extent doing combined, mainly in fields related to microelectronics and possibly control systems too. The workload is exactly the same, but you do an extra year. Have you looked at Comp Eng? That actually consists of quite a lot of Comp Sci and Elec courses mashed up...

    Life

    (basically tl;dr'd everyone's post without meaning to) (no disrespect to anyone) In all seriousness, I found Sy's response quite a good read and worthwhile to read.

    Post your results and wam thread (s2/14)

    Nah in second sem its a lot worse when you have a lazy course convenor and project organiser. We have separate technical streams as well. It runs quite differently in second sem. Yeah bridge is apparently easiest lol. Congrats on the marks and topping MMAN2600 and the WAM though!

    how to hide my cat from my parents?

    They usually roam around the suburb any way and train themselves. They will visit other backyards, decrement in other backyards, destroy plants and be a complete nuisance to your neighbours (as I have recently experienced) if you don't take care of it or you don't train it (ie give it specific...

    What have you eaten today?

    Chicken drumstick and thigh. Chicken and Mushroom pie. Half a normal pizza, half a dessert pizza as well. Two uncle toby's muesli bars. An oreo bar. Can of Coke, can of Sunkist, some Solo. About 100 g of rice with 50 g of meat and a chicken drumstick. 1.5 L water in total. That Ket-ugar...

    Question about acceleration and forces

    So what you get is: m_{r}a_{r} = T - m_{r}g \\ \\ \\ $(Noting r subscript for rocket and by resolving vector components head to tail).$ \\ \\ \\ $Hence, $ a_r = \frac{T - m_{r}g}{m_{r}} Now initially, the initial thrust and the initial mass are given, so you can find the initial...

    pendulum

    I think it was the 2012 paper, which had a few questions on this exactly. I highly recommend you looking through the "notes from the marking centre" and the sample answers for the 2012 paper for that question. What The king97 said is pretty much what you should be able to deduce/know.

    Post your results and wam thread (s2/14)

    Damn Engg1000 killed all my mates' WAMs this sem (includes WAMs varying from 70 to 90) and kinda mine too. Oh well 72+ in everything should be good. Quite happy given that my WAM raised a bit and I pretty much spent more time on other stuff than uni... gotta fix that habit up soon though :/

    Can Internal Mark be higher than External Mark?

    I think you are getting confused. If your teacher marks harshly, how is this going to drag down the internal marks of the whole class? There is a reason why it is a moderated assessment mark. Just because the top student in your class got 86, doesn't mean they get 86. The marks are moderated...

    Post your results and wam thread (s2/14)

    I think you are getting confused with when D94 said that enrolment and timetabling priorities are dependent on your year/program and hence usually first years are later than everyone else (low priority) to be allowed to enrol since enrolment as a first year is usually more flexible compared to...

    Which was meant to be the slower light beam in the Michelson Morley experiment?

    I think the light ray travelling directly with/against the flow of the aether should be the expected ray to be delayed a bit, causing the change in interference patterns. Reason why is that it has to travel at a slower rate in theory if and only if the aether existed, when you look at the...
