Or they'll tell you it's not needed, but by the time its exam time, questions pop out from nowhere. Basically, our rule of thumb for undergrads is - buy if you're not fully understanding the lecturer. This applies when lecturers say you don't really need the textbook, or it ain;'t compulsory.

Hey Survivor ;) How's the Phd going now? Oo I think I saw your name in the Peer Mentor list!! When you refer to cell Biology, do you mean ANAT3231? If so, Tim would need to pass ANAT2241. From what I've heard that area of research is blooming. Hm...but you did say BABS school... Anyway, Tim...

Thanks Gman you're the man!! It finally worked out, ah now I know. Weird though I never knew that if you did bad in first year, it'd pull down my final wam this badly! Ah shit, its because of my damn first or second semester. Damn Chemistry... God this is system is strange, if I simulated a...

Ok this only applies to Med Sci students. Yes you must take 36 UOC out of that list you just pasted there and complete them by Year 3. However, all of those courses below except for PHPH2011 Introductory Pharmacology and (6 UOC) can be taken in your second year. I.e. For you Tim, that's this...

Yup I underloaded in first year. But I've now overloaded enough. So for 2 years at Uni, that's equivalent to 96 UOC and that's how much I've done. I tried adding all my Term WAMs together, then dividing it by the total UOC. And that gave me 3 which obviously is wrong haha. Ok I better drop by...

Haha makes it a real concern with Facebook and stuff nowadays. Same with the address checking etc. Ok I better not say more, since this forum is public I don't want another student's identity to be stolen. You dudes will learn how easy almost it is to around UNSW's online system. I reckon...

Yeah ROFL that's right! UNSW does seem to have a poor sense of security there. I don't think UAC told you dudes to not tell anyone your UAC number right? They only said, don't tell people your UAC Pin. Lol anyhow you definitely do not want to lose your student id or pass to someone else you...

Don't worry. This only happens when you first enter UNSW. It's just to confirm you are that person.

Hm you're right about me being here more than a year. But it still doesn't seem to add up right. Well my term WAMS were 60ish, 60ish, 75ish, 79, 90ish. The WAM that's located at the bottom of the Academic Transcript (the online one in MyUNSW, not the printed certified Transcripts) then states...

Watashi, do note that since your payment is via Australia Post, it will take a few days to process. If the census date is say tomorrow, then your payment won't make it. Since UNSW must process it, etc, and by the time it gets into your student financial account, it may be past the census date.

Hey does anyone know how they calculate the overall WAM for our transcripts? I've just realised that the overall isn't really the average. One semester my Term WAM was 60 and the next was 89. When you average them out, its not 70, rather its about 65.222. How come?!? XD Wonder if its a...

It honestly depends Tim. First you'll need to tell me what major you're heading towards. If you're thinking of Microbiology/Immunology/Viruses/Molecular Biology/Biochemistry/Biotechnology majors then yes you will need to do Biochemistry. If you're Anatomy/pathology/pharmacology majors (i.e...

The only real difference is. If you're a non-member, you can still get the diary etc bla bla bla with coupons. But if you are a member, you get a diary with more coupons. Depends on your needs really. If you like shopping at UNSW, then by all means grab the membership.

Haha don't worry! More than likely even if you did make friends with people during your Yellow Shirt Orientation or Faculty welcome, you'll probably never see them again. Friend-making is best during your tutorials or labs. Are you a Science based student? UNSW's running a pilot program this...

Wow you dudes start Uni early! Anyhow 1st week at almost every university, there isn't much learning, more admin-based actually.

Rofl, you hopeless gambler Jago! Btw haha has anyone won anything at Macau?

Haha cool!! Well you've totally made the right choice:p Ah you're so lucky to be doing Commerce as well, HK is probably best known for that. Do you speak Cantonese? Apparently, people who do speak English and/or Canto are really favoured in HK especially those with a bachelor's degree obtained...

Haha you gotta love Math Stats, they even give you the formulas! :D No need to study for the exam almost. Just a reminder, Scaling at university doesn't happen too much, and you shouldn't expect it to. Scaling only happens in extremely hard-to-pass subjects like Actuarial studies, 2nd Year...

ooh Hong Kong, why'd you choose that city? Everyone these days just talks about America & Europe, but not many Asian destinations. :rolleyes: HK is absolutely the great place for shopping, you can buy real items there much cheaper than here. Not to mention, the shopping centres there are...

ROFL! Yeah happens when you're either half asleep or ppl push from behind. But its easy, just talk to the bus driver when you return to central, and he'll let you on without dipping. Although you can easily pull this stunt everytime, I still like being honest.
