    UTS Chatter Thread

    Yeah it would, you have to withdraw before the census date (which is about a month into the semester) to avoid getting a withdraw fail and having to pay the course fees. https://www.uts.edu.au/current-students/managing-your-course/your-enrolment/course-and-subject-information

    The Official UTS Subject Reviews Thread (Table of Contents on First Post)

    Really? When I did it Ryan set up all the tutorials and assessments - so that's quite a lot of input. Also, it was a fairly easy HD but the people struggling had a real risk of failing since the final was must pass. It's changed a lot apparently, but i'd heard it was made easier (which I'm not...

    Edit Signature in Settngs is not there

    Hi hassannaveed, As a new user, you won't immediately have permission to change your signature and a few other things. I don't remember off the top of my head how long you need to be a member for, but it's not very long - something like a week or two.

    Why is the EAS released after ATAR?

    Yeah, looks like the SRS has nothing to do with early offers:

    Why is the EAS released after ATAR?

    I'm not familiar with the school recommendation scheme or EAS, but generally UTS inform people about early offers after ATARs are released. Early refers to the Early UAC round (which occurs before main round), not getting an offer prior to receiving your ATAR.

    Applying for just one university

    Yes you should, as you've said there's no guarantee the cutoff will be the same this year or the same among the different universities. Additionally bonus points work differently at each university.

    UTS Bachelor of Accounting (Co-op) 2017

    I don't know if that's the case, but if it is then it is only because it's expected that all successful candidates would have gotten the cut off anyway. B Acc is a competitive coop scholarship, not an alternative pathway into a B Bus.

    USYD vs UTS for Comp Science

    Difficulty and content are different, some of the 4U topics themselves actually aren't that hard. Just because you are learning 4U content, doesnt mean that it will be as difficult as 4U. UTS don't have Comp Science and none of the courses are directly comparable. IIRC, the Usyd course has two...

    software engineering vs IT

    It's not indicative of the whole course, there are very few (if any) subjects in ICT (Software) that require what you learn in MM1/MM2. Off the top of my head, it's essentially just Signal Theory and maybe Intro To Elec Eng + Physical Modelling - and the latter don't have them as a prereq anyway...

    software engineering vs IT

    Depends what kind of job you want, the ICT course goes more in depth for the embedded/electrical side of software whereas Science in IT gives you more opportunity to learn about specific types of software development. You can (and probably should) self learn more or the parts you miss anyway...

    Horology Horror: Opinions on buying a new watch

    Well, any mechanical watch is heaps more authentic/traditional than a quartz watch or smart phone/watch haha. Sounds like the Omega has a lot going for it then - space/historic connection, good price compared to the submariner/GMT II and manual winding.

    Horology Horror: Opinions on buying a new watch

    Have you tried using an automatic and/or manual winding watch for an extended period of time? It'd suck getting the Speedmaster and then deciding later that you cbfed with winding it.

    What is credit average? :x

    If you have any exams, it's probably too soon to try forecasting your marks. Assessments prior to exams are usually not a good indicator of how you'll go in the final (unless there was a midsem). At UTS, we use GPA so your average will be based on GPA. The UTS GPA is based on pass being 1.5...

    The Code Marathon.

    StringBuilder and StringBuffer (same interface iirc) have a lot of built in string operations. BigInteger also has isProbablePrime and gcd which are sometimes useful for these style of questions.

    The Code Marathon.

    Alternatively, in Java, StringBuilder/StringBuffer have a reverse() method.

    The Code Marathon.

    As in once graduated, or outside of uni? Best way of getting a job as a developer while still studying is to get involved with extra curricular programming stuff. Like programming competitions and hackathons. Not only will your skills improve, but often these events will be sponsored by...

    The Code Marathon.

    I was taught to avoid it as a general rule of thumb haha, it doesn't read well - you have to read it carefully/step through it to understand what's going to happen. For the same reasoning, I avoid multiple returns in the one function unless it's a switch or to short circuit a loop. But, i'm a...

    The Code Marathon.

    Nah, that's just nested ternaries/conditional operators. IMO, they become pretty messy when you nest them. It returns either the left or right value depending on the condition. i.e. someBool ? "is true" : " is false";
