The Thread for ALL FIRST YEAR QUESTIONS. (1 Viewer)

[Uncle]

Ahhh, i only had 2 textbooks for all of first year.

I already have 4 for second year.

I've regretted purchasing at least half of the textbooks I have so far.
Lecture notes most of the time, if not always, provides the core content of the courses.

The only time a textbook is useful for other than reference is if assignments (lol Mechanics and Linguistics) require questions to be completed from the textbook.

But HOLY SHIT who purchased Advanced Engineering Mathematics for MATH2019 I want to see.

how do i shot web?

Press B

or

lol.

I regretted buying the Math textbook, it's so useless, course notes are pretty awesome for math.

Lecture notes for physics though were very crap, i found a textbook essential for it.

Even though the online version of the maths textbook (Calculus One and Several Variables) which is valid for 1 year and is a third of the price of the hard copy textbook it still wasn't worth it.
Did I mention it came with that WileyPLUS addon?
I only used it once.

As for Physics,
Joe's notes (Mechanics for Weeks 1 to 6) are like a HSC student's mess and yes the textbook would be better.
However Michael's notes (Thermal Physics & Waves for Weeks 7 to 12) were like goddamn summaries of relevant topics in the textbook.

Yeah thats why i didnt go to lectures, his notes were very good and he would just read off the slides

Only managed to get to the top floor of Chemical Science Building, view still pretty decent

 

[danield]

what time is little lunch?

i literally Laughed Out Loud..

well, laughed for a good few minutes

 

[wrong_turn]

what jago said about behind the library and then up where the old law faculty was...well that would be the best view. you can see the top of the chemical sciences building LOL

 

[xprshn]

Where do they sell the 3.80$ chicken roll that I heard people speak about..?

cabramatta

 

[xtinctdodo]

so where exactly is this "room 2008", where all the workshops are?

 

[darkwolfzx]

never heard of it. What context are you speaking from?

 

[joshdavid]

where is the science theatre and where the bloody hell is room G022 in the quad??

(cant find the latter on a map)

 

[darkwolfzx]

(cant find the latter on a map)

science theatre: grid reference f13
http://www.facilities.unsw.edu.au/Maps/pdf/kensington.pdf

G022 is room 22 on ground floor of the quad building

 

[Omie Jay]

so where exactly is this "room 2008", where all the workshops are?

Go to the quad grassy area (where the sunclock is), go up the stairs, (the 1000 stair staircase that leads up to the other end of campus ending up near CLB and bluestone cafe), but instead of going all the way up, stop at i think the second landing and turn right, and enter the building, there will be a 'Contact centre' kinda thing there, and room 2008 is nearby.

G022 should be in that quad grass area, its definately ground floor, i think if u go up the stairs which are to the left of the quad court, ending up with the arc store to your right and Comp Now to your left, keep going straight, and you will see some rooms to your right. My guess is that one of those rooms is G022, i think i had a MATS1101 tute in room G025, which was in that area.

q: if my timetable says 'HUT D10 room G03' would D10 be like the grid reference ??

 

[Omie Jay]

most likely yes

haha sucks 2 be you, those rooms are terrible.

and yes, D10 is the map reference

Holy crappola! Sounds like quite a trek :jaw:

yep. I'm in that room too, it pretty much looks like a woefully underfunded greater western sydney public school classroom

Anything else you forgot to mention? Like wild wolves in the area, trapdoor locations etc.
