Can you please tell me everything you do for discrete math? Try not to leave anything out, just pretend I'm an absolute moron. Like weekly discrete routine.

Trying to find the secret to good marks. Thxxx

Dont diss scif. That was the shit.
It was good in first sem as it was like i was doing 3.5 subjects which was good. No lectures...tutorials are so bludge as well. No study either. Just fairly standard assignments.
Also, a lot of friends i made were from scif tutorials and lecture stream.

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017

What's up with enrolment appointments? Is it some kind of organised system to stop first years filling courses before second years can, etc.? Or is it randomly generated purely to stop server overload?

I fear that having to wait until a week into May to enrol might prevent me from getting a good timetable.

It's a cascading enrolment system. Those who have completed more UOC have higher priority (regardless of which year you're in), and typically Law students have first pick.

But also, within each group of enrolments, you might be split into multiple enrolment start sessions to prevent server overload (usually a morning and afternoon session on the same day). Not sure how that is determined though (could be by WAM, but that could just be correlation).

I do the problem sets on weekends, and then the past tests the weekend before the exam?

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017

SCIF is actually my least favourite subject, 80% of my workload is just SCIF

At least I never have to do anything like it ever again after this semester :mad2:

Per Tronnes is worth listening to for ACCT1511.

I didn't enjoy the rest of my lecturers but I think they changed who lectured it though.
