Ok, Math1041 - Piss Easy. To give a concrete example, I haven't done any math since year 10, and I got 89 HD. Highest mathematics you need is some basic algebra (regression is linear equations). I've (since) taught myself some more advanced maths, but at the time, I didn't need to know anything...

What exactly is this Student Diagnostic Unit?

Sorry, was away from internet for a while. Well, just a sort of general feel for the courses. What topics roughly did it cover, how easy/comprehensible was the content, what kind of labs were there, how bad were the assignments, how the lecturers were, whether it was interesting (which I know...

I have a question, for the people who've done third year microbiology courses, what they are like? I'm tossing up doing some MICR courses versus molecular biology courses (way too many courses during the first semester). Especially immunology, microbial genetics, and environmental micro, has...

Hmm... Not too bad, except Wednesday, although I hope that Monday lecture is recorded. Though knowing Cavicchioli is teaching it, odds are it's about his damn trip to Antarctica again.

Do environmental earth science? I did that = very easy, fun subject, no previous knowledge required. Especially if you're bad at maths and that. Got distinction almost without study.

Yeah, I know, I know, but that was my one good subject out of a bunch of passes and credits.

Math1041 - the last question was basically a big "fuck-you", was on obscure stuff we'd done god knows when. Thanks for killing my HD, question.

Dunno about failure rates as such, but I personally found it was taught quite poorly, with the exception of Nick Roberts in the first few weeks, the rest was a bit disorganized, and god forbid if you think of switching between lecture streams. That said, if you've done HSC or Year 11 Chem...

I need an answer to this: If I was enrolled in normal science at UNSW, but wanted to do a major that only Advanced Science covers, can I upgrade to advanced science based on marks and whatnot? Thanks.

UAI Estimate please? So, this are my approximate overall HSC results: English Advanced - 70 (8/16) IPT - 86 (4/13) German Continuers - 96 (1/18) Russian Background Speakers - 92 (3/12) Biology - 86 (2/5) Modern History - 78 (5/10) Can anyone give me some prediction of my UAI...
