I have a distinction average and it is not impossible to maintain. I have a decent social life, skip my fair share of lectures each semester and don't have the best attention span in lectures. However, I always attempt to keep up to date with assignments, revision etc. It depends on what you are...

Whatever pen you use in the exam should be a pen you use frequently throughout the semester. You need to know how the pen feels after writing for an extended period of time and how long the ink lasts for. I've seen many people get new fancy pens for exams and have them run out halfway through...

Give it six weeks, you will be over uni and stop giving a crap. I gave my response before because I understand your nerves, I was once like that :o. I have even walked into tutorials with a cup of beer (god bless engineering bbq's) and the tutor hasn't cared but I also just had to submit my...

Only do mining related fields if you are interested in the subject at hand. You will not survive the remote locations and harsher conditions if you are merely there for the money. I have witnessed a few people switch from mining engineering to civil engineering because they couldn't stand the...

Most are lenient about this, aslong as you come to the tutorial from your lecture in a reasonable timeframe i.e 10 minutes. Just come in quietly and if you are concerned, maybe get your materials for the tutorial out at the end of your lecture so when you come into your tutorial, you are ready...

Everyone thinks they will go into commerce and get big big $$$$$$$$$ but that is not the case. Commerce degrees are overcrowded and whilst some do reap the financial benefits that are present in the sector, the rest end up becoming lifelong paper pusher. Go into commerce if that's what you are...

i was in law and escaped after a semester because i was there because i could be there, not because i wanted to be there. most people i came across were pretty decent but there were a few choice dickheads in tutes. there was one guy who had actually contacted a law firm to verify that there was...

I think I know the guy you are talking about. It annoys me because I would have loved work experience with BHP Billiton. Both the people with scholarships had connections in the mining industry.

True, cause it wasn't really hot up at PH the day we were there. My mum used to live in Oodnadatta so I know to expect 50 degree days and floods and all that. OD was a little disappointing cause we didn't get off the bus but I do see the benefits of OD, especially if you want a family at some...

I had no problems because I was in a Law/Commerce double (felt pressure to do it, originally had mining as my first pref) and only did a semester, so I could still use my TER and since it was 96, I had no dramas. Yeah, I'm in first year with those guys you are referring too and I am also...

Oh firstly I must correct something, my D was referring to statics. I got a P for dynamics. It was damn hard this year, though dynamics is always hard. However, since Adelaide changed many of its courses from 2 to 3 units, additional content had to be added to these courses to warrant awarding...

Cool, if Plimer is looking at the metallurgy degree, it would explain why we visit the Nyrstar Lead Smelter as part of the mining field trip. I knew about the Mineral Geoscience degree for next year and a Petroleum double with Mining starts next year. I was leaning towards the Geostatistics part...

Cheers Miner. That was really insightful. Do you know anything about the other mining education considerations slated for 2010?

I don't think degree choice is particularly relevant here. I believe that successful motivational speakers/life coaches are those who have a lot of life experience (i.e have experienced adversity and have overcome it). You can't just read a book on psychology or marketing or whatever you want...

My brother and a friend do law at seperate unis and their textbook costs range from $300 to $500 per semester brand new. You will find that costs will be reduced some semesters because you may use the same textbook for several subjects or some may be a lifelong (or unilong) purchase such as a...

It ultimately depends on your career goals and the job opportunities in your chosen field. A double degree should give you enough diversity to practice in 2 different fields but also should be able to be combined into a major strength. So a Commerce/Law double may open up more taxation or...

Nah cause you gotta remember they will fuck anyone for a dollar (metaphorically) :P

Chemical Engineering has many job opportunities and is quite a well paying profession. Of course you aren't going to immediately skyrocket to $100K a year but such salaries (often larger) are common for Chemical Engineers given some relevant industry experience. SOME of the Industries/Jobs you...

Hi, I've just finished the 1st year of my Mining Engineering degree at Adelaide Uni and I have the opportunity to do a double degree with Maths and Comp Sci with a major in Applied Maths which would add an extra year to my degree. I'm not overly concerned about whether I have the aptitude to...

Re: 回复: do arts if you want to get laid I know ambermorn :p. Besides from what I've witnessed at uni, lawyers would have to be the most slutty. Arts are usually too stoned to be bothered being whores....
