Maschemeyer didn't teach us last year for catalysis. I'm pretty sure Peter Rutledge teaches synthetic/medicinal (he was pretty awesome with showing pictures of his holidays, etc 1/2 way through the lecture). Yeah, both Kable and Schmidt (now this guy is what I call cocky) as well as Meredith...
I like Brendan Kennedy, but he's a bit lost sometimes. Chris Ling's stuff is pretty hard. But I definitely reccomend catalysis. Tony Masters is awesome!
I found catalysis and sustainable processes to be the best subject in third year. Medicinal and metal chemistry was okay, same with quantum chemistry. Do not do materials chemistry- that was pretty crap. As for the rest, I'm not too sure.
On most occasions, night fillers won't work past 12. However, I've seen some work till 2am. They'll get a higher rate of pay if they work past 12. Big W calls in their casual night fillers, so it'll be good to make a good impression so you will get called in.
Pay varies from company to company. If you did honours, you'd be receiving less money from centrelink since you'd be earning more. ;)
Average salary for science graduates is about $50000-$55000. I think it's about $65000 if you do honours. But it varies. If you're determined to do well, then...
As I stated in the other thread you created, minimal knowledge of maths for science degrees (particularly at usyd, but I'm sure it's also the case for UNSW) is mathematics. You're only doing general mathematics.
