    Medical Science at UNSW or USyd?

    With GAMSAT I don't know really. You'll need to talk to ppl who've done it a couple of times. In terms of University Physics, it is NOWHERE NEAR HSC physics, thats the general word from most of my friends. Unless if you're really into physics, photovoltaics, astrophysics stuff, I'd avoid where...

    Medical Science at UNSW or USyd?

    The SCIF1111 aren't really too unique courses. You'll be doing each of these once a year for 3 years I believe. And all the teach you is the history and philosophy of medicine, getting you assignments to talk to scientists (interview, etc). You'll notice that SCIF1111 is a 3 unit course in...

    how was your first day at uni?

    ROFL hahaha I can't believe students would actually write it down! Yeah Internationals weirdly don't get along too well with local, they stick to their own bunch. It's funny though parents send their children to Australia to learn english, yet these 'children' stick to each other, and instead...

    14 weeks to 12 weeks, why?

    To put it simply. UNSW conducts itself as a business, all it wanted was more reputation and more money. Despite its own Entreprenuer's unit voting against the construction of that campus (and with good reasons). Yup they lost millions to billions. Plus they had to use money together with the...

    how was your first day at uni?

    I'm not too social myself, and probably too shy to know people. But when you head into a room with no one you know, it gets pretty hard to know people. By the time you hit breaks and stuff, people break into their own groups, and you're left stranded, god I was thinking what a loner I was...

    how was your first day at uni?

    God happens to me MANY times! Plus I'm selective. So that pretty much restricts the number of people I get along with. I once when to some workshop at uni, where they were supposed to be developing leaders & mentors. Yet everyone there was so unsocial-able. Me: So you live on uni? Guy: Yup...

    WAM, UAI and GPA

    Drewbrow1 is correct. UAI does not exemplify or in any way identify what sort of WAM equivalent. GPA again is different because it uses Acer's grading system. And in Acer's system, the university you come from, determines what grading scale you use. So in its entirety it is different. UNSW...

    I now know what you mean by completely random questions in BIOC2101

    Wow Ruiting must have changed the format of the exam a lot. Still though I like how Microbiology is rarely if ever Multiple Choice-based anymore. Back in my time when I did this course, there were 40 short answer questions, they gave you the lines as well, so there was only so much you could...

    I now know what you mean by completely random questions in BIOC2101

    Hi Feelbare, Just to let you know, WebCT automatically adds your subjects after approximately at the end of Semester 1 provided you enrolled in the course at MyUNSW about 4-5 weeks ago. Anyway even if you do see it, you won't have access to it until Week Zero.

    Final Result releasing date?

    Sometimes if you're lucky its Thursday morning. I tended to get my results about 11am the day before the official results were released. Possibly this year it might be earlier, since pretty much every course has finished examinations within 2 weeks.

    How much detail for DNA fingerprinting?

    In terms of details, its best to confirm with different Biology Teachers, because the syllabus can be interpreted differently. elctrophoresis, restriction enzymes and flourescent/radiactive probes? That material I believe is perhaps heading more into the university arena. But knowing more is...

    HELP...What is the difference between gene cloning and whole animal cloning???

    Just to add onto the Gene Cloning. Not sure if the HSC needs this detail. But PCRs are done more than once, actually you need to do it multiple times, once done, you go through the stages margaret talked about, followed by the creation of DNA Libraries (where you overlap, etc all the DNA strands...

    URGENT HELP Pasteur's fermentaion experiment

    Ah nice, lucky you got the spontaneous generation. Should you need to write a report based upon this, I found it best to constantly relate to Koch's postulates as well. If your teacher gives you extra marks based upon any extracurricular research you do, find something in which a certain...

    Ebola-help urgently please!

    It's best to elaborate based upon your current knowledge, as Survivor said before, journals are your best source of information, but since you're a High School student, you won't have much access to these. With ebola, you'll find more info based upon its epidemiology I believe.

    Inflammatory Response!

    Quote=Hmm, also - histamine is released increasing permeability of blood vessels...which enables white blood cells to travel to the area of the body inflamed more quickly :) Hey Lodgic, for a quickie, histamine is usually released by Mast cells, and these are triggered only through IgE, and...

    Haha sorry for not responding to your msg survivor! @Survivor: Oh B & D was supposed to be yesterday at Kingsford haha, but somehow someone lit a fire there, obviously they didn't want to do a supp exam, but wanted one more day to study :D So it was moved to today at Lvl 3 labs.

    I now know what you mean by completely random questions in BIOC2101

    Luckily for us in 2007, Molecular Biology had no Practical Exam. The final week also had no lab. We did however had to do a 3% essay, yes an essay that's worth a tiny amount! Spent so much time, it's a god-forsaken asssessment, whoever designed that must have come from Hell's University. You...
