    Coronavirus/Covid-19 Discussion Thread

    Yep and there was lots of news stories about people in those areas crowding on beaches and meeting up, while Western Sydney was so heavily restricted in comparison where you couldn't even go outside 5km of your house

    Shakespeare drama

    Just read it like once and then flick through again when you are deciding on quotes. The main thing with HSC english is to get the reading part over quickly and focus on drafting essays and then progressively making it better over several revisions with the help of a teacher/tutor for marking

    Best undergraduate degree for postgrad med?

    Societies at uni aren't really like about learning about a degree or related to study really. Even if you join degree based societies like science students, engineering students. It's just a way for people to make friends by attending some events like barbeques, balls, camp of people who might...

    https://boredofstudies.org/threads/advice-for-chem-practical-exams.397996/#post-7414830 Have a look on this post I made before. In terms of practice papers, aside from ones you could maybe get from your school, there isn't really any papers out there on the internet for the prac exams

    Studying Ahead for Uni

    Can't really make a generalising statement like that. Like high school some teachers are better than others at explaining things. Same thing at uni

    UNSW Trimesters

    Depends on the degree and your goals, in terms of how much the workload will be. Some degrees are suited better to semesters because there is more content, others have worked well in both the semester and trimesters. Generally speaking though it depends on what do you value If it's the quality...

    UNSW Trimesters

    UNSW Trimesters

    Most unis run on a 2 semester system, where there are: - 13 weeks - a mid term break around week 7 - you do 4 subjects (maximum) per semester The difference with UNSW trimesters is that: - 3 semesters instead of 2 - each semester is 10 weeks long - flexibility week during week 6 (basically...

    is trimester bad?

    It depends on the degree. For something like science it was honestly a living hell. That's because already in the semester system it felt like there was so much content to learn and so many assignments because in that type of degree there is a lot of small type of assignments each week such as...

    How many months internships to do is the best?

    Yeah ideally in the breaks but if it's during the semester than that's the next best alternative

    How many months internships to do is the best?

    It depends on the internship

    How many months internships to do is the best?

    As many as you can the better. The more experience you have the better your resume and skills will be. The main thing you need to just balance is the time. You don't want to take on too much and then it negatively impact your marks at uni, so if there is any internship you are doing during the...

    Need some uni degree advice

    It's fairly similar in terms of what you do, you have to do some kind of big project with the direction of a supervisor who will help you deciding the topic and guiding you along the way. My friend did a computer science honours year and he also had to do like a project and another did one for...

    Need some uni degree advice

    Generally speaking though getting an 85+ in subjects (i.e. a high distinction) takes a decent amount of work. It varies in each degree how many people get high distinctions, however in my degree on average for subjects probably less than 5% of people get that. A low 90 is usually a first place...

    Need some uni degree advice

    Slightly more than the average student for hours. It's not really like a consistent amount each day/week, because uni is different not every assessed thing is an exam. So for things like lab reports and hand in assignments, that just depends on how long they are. Only really studied closer to...
