    failing a subject

    Hi there! Don't know what specific major you're doing, but generally, as D94 said, you might be able to do a summer course or overload in a later semester if you get a decent enough WAM. :) That being said, if you're thinking of doing Accounting and you want to take all the courses you need to...

    Plans for Uni Break?

    Is it? Might take a closer look at it somewhere down the line then. Thanks for the heads up. :)

    What subjects can I choose from if I wanted to major in acct/fins

    Agree with the others. Pick FINS1612. Or do whatever. Just definitely avoid FINS1613 until semester 1! ;)

    Plans for Uni Break?

    Actually had to research what that was. Which proves that I'm a total beginner and know nothing, haha. Looks neat though.

    Should i drop law? Feel so under pressure and sick all the time because of it.

    You should just tell your parents that there are tons of Law graduates and few jobs for those graduates at the moment. Plus if you ever really want to go back to Law, you can always do law school. No need to do Law for your undergraduate years if you hate it that much. Also, since you said...

    Plans for Uni Break?

    I'm just learning Python for fun. Don't know any other programming languages... unless you count HTML and CSS. The website I'm using is pretty straight forward and Python is pretty beginner friendly. So if you want to learn Python more than C... hey, knock yourself out.

    Plans for Uni Break?

    - Do volunteer work (got around 3-4 volunteer jobs that I'll be juggling) - Learn Python - Work on mixing and mastering music - Apply for internships - Exercise - Read (got 3-4 books to finish) - Game (my consoles are lonely) - Get my blog running - Live the foodie life

    UNSW Subject Reviews.

    Yo. I'm back with another one of my super long course review posts. ;) Time flies by so quickly... and I'm beginning to feel old. MGMT3721 (Negotiations) Ease: 7/10. If you pay attention to your workshops and lectures, it won't be difficult to get a decent mark on all your assessments...

    Post Your 2014 Sem 2 Timetable

    My workload is a lot less than most people here, but I just keep staring at it because it's a staircase and it looks weird as heck. (Also, one of the courses isn't entirely fixed yet. Might change it.) Also, hi~ been forever since I last came on BoS. (I lurk it occasionally though.)

    UNSW 2014 Rollcall

    Re: UNSW 2014ers Rollcall Eh, I think the same, but many others have called me an odd duckling. I guess only time will tell!

    UNSW Comm/Arts Question

    I transferred from Com/Arts to just Com, so I think I can answer your question. :) If you're smart, you can easily smash your entire timetable (4 subjects) into two days per week. In your first year, that is. But the subsequent years don't change all that much (depends on what majors you do...

    For law in Hong Kong, UNSW or USyd?

    As a person who was born and raised in Hong Kong - I agree with the above. Hong Kong-ers don't care about minute differences between universities. As long as you come from a highly ranked university (in the world, not in your country), they'll be willing to give you their attention. But, er...

    UNSW 2014 Rollcall

    Re: UNSW 2014ers Rollcall Randomly jumping into the conversation, sorry 'bout that. :) Anyway - I'm actually doing a weird double major in Accounting and Human Resources. Neither of them require you to be awesome in Maths. If they did, I wouldn't be taking them, since I'm absolutely...

    UNSW Subject Reviews.

    Semester 2, 2013! Aka the most recent subjects I took. Here we go~ ACCT1511 (Accounting 1B) Ease: 6/10. Quizzes weren't too hard. However, the exam was absolutely horrendous and ridiculously different from past exams, which is why the course got this mark. Content: 6.5/10. Found the content...

    UNSW Subject Reviews.

    'Ola! Sorry for disappearing for so long. To make up for it, I'm posting my course reviews for both Semester 1 and Semester 2 of this year. But since they won't all fit into one post, check out my Semester 2 review after this post. ECON1102 (Macroeconomics) Ease: 3/10. Truthfully, it...

    Life at UNSW

    Ain't nobody got the time to be a high uppity class prick. :D But in all seriousness, people in UNSW are pretty cool. Most of 'em know when to let loose, which is a huge improvement from where I came from.

    Life at UNSW

    What's with all the negativity for Commerce people? I'm a Commerce student, and from my experience, I find other Commerce students to be pretty decent people. Sure, there are some wankers out there, but there's wankers EVERYWHERE. And there *are* a lot of Chinese in Commerce, but like everyone...
