COMP1521 - Computer Systems Fundamentals Ease: 8/10 Content itself was a lot of "general knowledge" stuff that most people into CS will already know. MIPS was new, and probably the toughest part of the course, but it's still pretty small. Lecturer: John Sheppard 9.5/10 He's honestly such a...

Re: Extracurricular Musicals, plays, band (clarinet), singing (choir + vocal ensemble), feel like I'm forgetting something

That's so weird People just do whatever units they're taking

Piano, clarinet and I sing :)

It's very important to start as early as you can so that you get as much feedback as possible from your teacher. Discuss your composition ideas with your teacher to see what they think, and every time you finish composing a section get some feedback - that's the best way for you to know if...

I love that you're interested in 12 tone composition, but I would stay away from it unless you really know your stuff! There's a huge difference between some random notes thrown together and well-composed Stravinksky-esque tone row piece :p

Hey, I'm probably tutoring COMP1511 next semester! :p

To offer my perspective, I did 15 units and I went just fine ;) Free periods are great and all except you'll usually just spend them procrastinating (or at least I know I did, with the 2 that I had :p)

It's not a "strict" rule, and only applies to HSC assessment tasks. Source (section 3.1.3) I say "not strict" in the sense that it states that you must be given "adequate notice" - most of the time two weeks+ is the minimum, but if determined that less time is still adequate for an...

According to https://www.futurestudents.unsw.edu.au/admission-unsw the lowest ATAR was 77.05

There probably isn't one. The reason is that there is no "in-between" techniques. You just have to tackle the harder integrals until you get good at them too.

Practice makes perfect

don't do all nighters that's stupid p.s. there isn't enough content in any course to require an all nighter p.p.s. past ~3-4am you won't be remembering anything anyway cramming is dumb but it works for hsc ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

At UNSW you just check the handbook, it has all the information, not sure about other unis I wish I knew that taking physics as an elective is the dumbest decision ever and I should not have done it

Just because I wasn't studying doesn't mean I wasn't stressing ;) It wasn't so much stressing over marks and studying, it was more like "oh shit I gotta get into uni and my life is about to change completely and wtf i don't know how to handle this" protip: life isn't ending and hsc is very...

I wish I didn't stress as much @ HSC, total waste of energy :p

Do both :rolleyes2:

It's very rare for a course from high school to be compulsory however if they're saying it's a requirement what they likely mean is that it is assumed knowledge. Therefore, not taking the bridging course could give you a significant disadvantage. I had a friend who had to take a bridging...

I never did homework. I studied for like < 1 hour a day usually, 2-3 during exams, except for maths which I spent like 5-6 on (mind you, it wasn't HSC content I was studying :P). Same school days/weekends. 3-7 barely any, like 2 hours/week lol heaps musical - 4 hours/week rehearsals, way more...
