I'm in software engineering, and it's not related unless you intend to do any electrical units.

PHIL2642 Critical Thinking doesn't give away marks, but it's not difficult to get least a distinction. It's also not a junior unit and doesn't have any specific prerequisites.

Have you looked at CUSP? These are the two possible streams for a BIT: http://cusp.sydney.edu.au/students/view-degree-page/degree_id/20 http://cusp.sydney.edu.au/students/view-degree-page/degree_id/7 I don't know what you're up to now, but until third or fourth year it doesn't really matter...

Yes.

There is no compulsory physics content in the USYD software engineering program. It's probably just listed because the other engineering programs require it.

A degree in biomedical engineering would be best. It's offered here at USYD, I'm not sure about anywhere else.

Do whatever you think is best. I would personally do it next year, but if you want to finish your degree in 4 years without overloading then summer school would be best.

You're going to have to do some research. I completed a major in linguistics at USYD as part of a Bachelor of Arts. That degree is generally the most versatile and, if it's offered at the university, will best allow you to study linguistics. If you're in NSW, then ANU, USYD and Macquarie all...

Yep. I think I mentioned earlier it depends on each university. My experience is from USYD, which is more aligned with what I wrote.

Which stream are you in? Mechanical and civil engineering each only have 1 subject in second year that requires ENGG1802. In the worst case, you're going to have to deal with the consequences of your actions. You may have to do part-time next year until you catch up, or else you may have to...

Each degree will have a large common area, so you really can't go wrong with either. It also depends on the university for how they are structured. In my opinion though, an accredited engineering degree will always be the best in terms of job prospects, and a science degree more directed towards...

Just do it next year.

Computer Science is what the name implies: the science of computers. You don't learn how to code, you learn the underlying principles of computer systems. If you want to learn to code, read a book or go to TAFE. Engineering is geared more towards the design and implementation of problems, and as...

I must be the only person who is liking Andrew Papanicolaou. I think he's much easier to follow than Di Warren, whereas she doesn't seem to be able to speak as clearly or concisely.

I'm in the 8am stream for MATH1003 with Andrew Papanicolaou. He's a nice guy, but not too charismatic. Kinda reminds me of Liev Schreiber. He comes prepared and organised for the lectures though and does a good job of going through all the content.
