    Studying a double degree with a minor

    Your degree will have rules regarding what majors/minors you can complete. In Eng/Sci, you can complete 1 major for Eng, 1 major for Science (possibly 2 if they are maths related) and 1 minor in Science: http://www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/undergraduate/programs/2017/3767.html . There are rules as...

    Curious about internal transfers

    You need to do all courses that satisfy the requirements of the degree. If you haven't done Math 1A, you cannot do Math 1B because Math 1B requires you to have completed Math 1A.

    Curious about internal transfers

    A course is a subject (except it's called a course). Some are offered in only 1 semester, some are offered in both, and a few in the summer term. You complete courses to meet the requirements of your degree.

    UNSW chit chat thread

    Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 That's too late getting to central even with no lines, no traffic. It takes around 15 minutes from Eddy Av to UNSW, and then you'll need to walk to class. You need to figure out when buses arrive. Even the express buses work on a timetable. I've never had to...

    Curious about internal transfers

    Uni is not like school. Just because a degree says it's 3 years long, doesn't mean you need to complete it in 3 years. Some students take 3.5 years, 4 years, even longer. Some students might transfer a couple of times before finding a degree that's right for them. There is no "behind your...

    UNSW chit chat thread

    Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 It's an obligation of the student, which breach can lead to failure. Whether the course convener enforces this is up to them. The lecturer can certainly have an attendance roll. Some courses, such as that in law (which is the course in discussion), can have...

    UNSW chit chat thread

    Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 Law lectures have 30 people in them and class participation is marked. People will notice when the person who you are debating against doesn't turn up the following week.

    UNSW chit chat thread

    Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 Actually there is a requirement. The Student Code Policy states that "students are expected to attend scheduled course teaching and learning activities", and is what you agreed to when you enrolled into UNSW. Also, Law runs lectures differently, in that they...

    Unsw law, lat + atar combo needed for entry

    EAS? AAA? Surely there was something other than just an ATAR and LAT if the people below didn't get an offer. Otherwise that makes no sense at all.

    Grades for honours and WAM

    http://www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/undergraduate/programs/2017/4500.html "Please note that only courses completed as part of the Honours program will be included within an honours calculation."

    External course moderation

    If it's a community languages school, then that is the school. If it's by themselves, then only the HSC exam matters.

    Discussion Thread for Atar Notes & other forums

    Re: ATAR Notes vs Bored of Studies Yes, but the forum should not just be driven by those individual people who make those articles.

    State Ranking

    No. For the student who is ranked first, the way moderation works is that their assessment mark is equal to the highest HSC exam mark of any student in the cohort. For the other ranks, there are actual calculations in determining the assessment mark. It isn't simply the nth rank gets the nth...

    State Ranking

    OK. The marks you receive in the HSC exams determine 2 things. Your HSC exam mark and how your school marks are moderated. The HSC exam mark is self explanatory, it's the mark you achieve based on your HSC exam performance on the day of the exam. The second determination is the process of...

    State Ranking

    No, you are wrong. You should have a read about moderation: http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/hsc-results/moderation.html

    Alright to skip first week?

    No, not necessarily. Your lecturer might opt out of recordings or the recording system might not work or your lecturer might not use the audio visual system so the recordings are useless. Lecture material should be available on Moodle though. You can certainly skip the week - no one will force...
