Good point haha!
For some IT subjects such as ISOD or BPITS .. start of semester 100 people in the lecture. 4 weeks in .. you'll be lucky to see 30 odd :)
Bah, its not hard. It all depends on what you studied in the HSC. I had never done business statistics before (at school etc) so that subject nearly killed me.
For core IT subjects, lectures would have around 80-120, with the tutorials around 30ish.
For business subjects, the lectures are a lot bigger. The standard "Accounting for Business" lecture has around 450 people. It really depends on the subject.
USB keys or portable hard drives people ... backup backup backup!
I actually backup via a secure channel to a server at my work! So all my files can be restored in case my laptop screws up or worse .. gets stolen.
Database fundamentals? Bah - easy stuff. The practical exam is 3 questions and takes less than 10 minutes. (Mind you I did get one wrong, but eventually conviced the lecturer that the solution to question 3 that I provided did indeed work :P)
If your not a networking person and don't know what an ethernet packet or IP address is, the networking essentials can be tricky.
Other than that, study hard and you will be right :)
Good luck for those who submitted applications for BIT - its a great program :)
If all else fails, do Buscomp and get some business skills - its a 4 year degree but gosh its worth it.
Found the bloody number (on front page of this thread)
But I'm going to spam it a bit so that I can find it on google for future occasions.

Just wanted to raise the question, does anyone here run their own business whilst studying at Uni? The IT students seem to be the keenest ones, with many running their own business; many I know offer web site design and IT consulting services in their spare time.
Do you think it’s a bad thing...
