    Clothing stores for petite women?

    Thanks for the suggestions guys, will definitely have a look. :) I've been to a few of the mentioned stores, and all I remember is generally crazy expensive prices. Dx I do occasionally shop online, but I don't really like to. I prefer to see the item irl first. Because I usually have something...

    Clothing stores for petite women?

    As a short (148cm) and thin (38kg) woman, I have a lot of trouble finding clothes / bras which fit. I can spend a whole day out shopping and come back empty-handed because I found nothing in my size, or if I did, the range was so limited that I didn't like what was available. I am looking for...

    Time spent studying to get a distinction or high distinction average?

    Depends on your degree tbh as some subjects are more difficult and require more time. I do a science degree, mainly biology and IT units. It is not difficult for me to get D/HD in terms of content. The only thing restricting me is that I'm lazy af and never stick to my study schedules lol. It's...

    Struggling in S1

    I can't really provide much comment from a personal standpoint about CS at USYD - because I started out doing CS, changed my major a few times etc.. I've only done "soft" units besides intro to programming, i.e. databases, system analysis and design, HCI.. I haven't done algorithms or OO...

    Struggling in S1

    I mean, I only mentioned it because OP said they are afraid the uni they pick will have a higher workload and be more difficult than their current uni..

    Struggling in S1

    If you transfer, don't go to USYD.. COMP2129 is a core unit and has a relatively high fail rate (I think it's around 30-40%?). And everyone I know that's doing that unit spends like 60-70% of their time studying that subject. There's a bunch of assessments that can take hours to do but are only...

    ELEC3609 internet software platforms

    The CUSP says only INFO1103 is required (intro to java/programming). I'm wondering from anyone who has done this unit, is that sufficient? Do you need data structures (INFO1105)? Because I understand the assignment involves building some sort of system (web application, I assume). I will be...

    The McDonald's Thread

    Anyone know about the official training at maccas? I think I read you are paired with a trainer for your first 3 shifts, is this accurate? I only had a trainer with my on my first shift and I only learnt a few basic things, now I'm on my own and they expect me to do a bunch of stuff I haven't...

    The McDonald's Thread

    I have my first shift coming up (and it's also my first ever job..), just wondering what to expect on the first day? I read that you just watch training videos or something? Also just to make sure, you get changed into your uniform at work, right? Don't go there in uniform? edit: also curious...

    Concessional passes? USYD

    I read another thread stating USYD science faculty doesn't offer concessional passes, is this true? If so, does anyone have any advice for me - it looks like I'm going to fail the same junior math unit I failed last year. It's possible I may pass but just barely. The problem is I have a very...

    Prelim and HSC bio textbooks - which ones

    ok thanks everyone. Actually I was considering tutoring HSC biology (finished HSC in 2014) but wanted to be prepared first and have some good resources besides my own notes and other online resources.

    Prelim and HSC bio textbooks - which ones

    Just wondering which textbooks are used for prelim and HSC bio / most popular ones that are up to date. Is Heinemann Biology: Preliminary & HSC 2nd edition still good to use and up to date?

    Is a biology degree useless

    I'm not sure yet, considered a research type of job, also considered teaching.

    Is a biology degree useless

    Is a major in biology useless / unemployable? Even with honours? I've read even people with phd struggle to find jobs sometimes.

    Need advice: should I drop my computer science major

    I'm currently doing a science degree at USYD majoring in comp sci and biology. I've found that my main interest is in biology, and if I find that I enjoy this enough I am also considering an honours year. I did comp science initially because I had some interest in related things beforehand...

    Question about teaching degrees in general

    There is only agricultural chemistry. However looking through the units, most aren't really that relevant to the agriculture syllabus (from memory, as I've done agriculture most of my junior years, and also for senior year). Even my bio major is more relevant, as I'm doing units on plant...

    Question about teaching degrees in general

    Thank you for your response. And well, I wanted to teach agriculture because it is another subject area that I enjoy. In fact I would have probably preferred to do an agriculture degree, but back when I started uni I didn't know what I wanted to do (other than knowing I wanted to do something...

    Does God exist?

    I haven't read anything in this thread tbh but just going to say it's plain obvious "god" doesn't exist. If you were born anywhere else you'd be defending the existence of some other god than the one you already are. You might have never even heard of the god you believe in now. That's because...
