If that's the sort of case, I'd definitely consider switching to another tutor. There's plenty of people charging $30-$40 per hour, and often or not giving a 2 hour lesson. And on top of that, additional help/solutions to other questions free of charge. If you have to end up asking a LOT of...

Practically actuarial is the survival of the fittest. Engineering has similar cases, although I hear the dropout rate is much lower due to workload being easier (methinks). Plus most of the people who end up dropping out are in first year, and are those who failed maths/physics subs or just...

It's just like applying for internships - pretty much have to go through application + online psychometric testing + phone interview + assessment centre + maybe final interview round. If you're looking for unpaid internships with smaller firms then they'd be happy to take you on if you give a...

Don't forget that if you want to graduate from engineering you must take compulsory industrial training. And what's worse is that the uni doesn't allocate it to you so you have to go and look for it yourself.

Re: UNSW Chit Chat Thread 2015. Have 5 things to do by this week - 3 tests and 2 assignments (both already done). Time to get studying for these exams.

Please burst. I want to buy a house :P

Honestly the freebie amounts are becoming less and less nowadays. I remember when I first went to UNSW open day in 2009, they were giving out cans of V and redbull like it was toilet paper. The year after I went again and they didn't give anything much away. Then went again in 2011 and still...

Re: UNSW Chit Chat Thread 2015. Dat feels man :( Inb4 the quiz gets cancelled though, then that'll be an additional 10% added onto the finals.

Re: UNSW Chit Chat Thread 2015. what maths tute is it anyway?

Re: UNSW Chit Chat Thread 2015. I'm already starting to feel the workload come at me. 5 subjects - two of those which have two components which essentially means I'm doing the equivalent of 7 subjects this semester. GG. ^.

Re: UNSW Chit Chat Thread 2015. This is definitely interesting... That said ACCT1511 is probably more judgement based anyway so searching for answers off google ain't gonna help too much anyway. Same deal goes to asking your peers for answers.

so pro doing medicine :P

/10 could not believe I did not see someone wanting a reply though HAHA

Wow forgot to reply to this. Petroleum itself is good to learn, however memorising the content and regurgitating it in the exam is really bad in comparison. That said it's actually easier to do well in petroleum engineering due to no scaling + access to hidden past exams and lecturers doing...

Re: Does dropping a course before the census date 31 August have any academic penalty Academic penalty is either 1 or 2 weeks after Census date - dropping right after census date only gives financial penalty FYI.

Re: UNSW Chit Chat Thread 2015. Officially doing 30 UOC now after overload approval. I wonder how much more busier I will get this semester - I overloaded in sem 1 2014 with ENGG1000 and other first year engineering subs so I'll see how this one goes.

LOL, everyone got the message of its difficulty ever since the 2012S2 cohort did it. Good luck trying to turn the tables around - unless if Kyung Hwan sets the exams to be easier (as well as to give as much support material as Rob) then he doesn't have a choice but to deal with the lower...

Re: UNSW Chit Chat Thread 2015. *sigh* then again all the places I want to exchange at are literally shit they clash with internship times during the first half of the year (uni over there runs from late january/february-may, whilst internships here run from early december to late february)...

Re: UNSW Chit Chat Thread 2015. If that's the case then I guess I'll end up having to take the hard way out and just stay an extra semester, or unless if I can do the course on exchange (hmmm)

Re: UNSW Chit Chat Thread 2015. k just submitted overload and clash forms so hopefully they'll enrol me in - ill see what it's like and if i find the workload too hard then i guess ill drop
