Studying for maths can be broken down into 2 parts: 1. THE THEORY: I know this sounds obvious but trust me many people do not spend time on this part but it's essential for doing well in 3U. This involves trying to grasp and study new ideas, ways of solving questions, formulae. This takes the...

Basically I'm enrolled in science (advanced)/law @ UNSW. I'm passionate about the environment (climate change in particular), and hence I'm planning to major in climate systems science. But my real passion is to apply this knowledge through policy formation + consultancy on a government/company...

So you're saying that a few weeks into the course should give me a good indication of the course as a whole and if I'll enjoy it?

To those studying law: How do you know if you're going to like it? A lot of people have told me that you can only know until you've tried it. Or is there a criteria to determine whether you'll like it? Thanks

Prioritising is key. So you get home from school and you have a bunch of homework, some exams and assignments coming up. Break everything down by their relative importance. Personally, I think homework should be done first; you don't want to fall behind in it. Many people underestimate the...

If you're worried about whether you'll be able to cope or not, I really encourage you to ask your maths teacher if he/she thinks you can do well. They know what's required and you can go through your concerns.

Thanks Fizzy_Cyst :)

Hey guys this is a bridging course question. Please see attached image. Three identical blocks are arranged on a horizontal, frictionless surface, as shown in image. Each block has a mass of 1kg. The blocks move under the action of an applied force (F), such that the acceleration is 5m/s...

This year it was pretty high because the exam was relatively easy so I'm guessing around 90

Yes exactly - I didn't say cut things out, I said you're probably going to have to reduce the time you spend on things like seeing friends, which I think is perfectly reasonable.

Personally, I didn't have much of a social life. I'm sure you can fit all three in, but I put my social life on hold. I somewhat regret this, because whenever my friends would occasionally ask if I could go out one night, I turned them down, and probably didn't end up studying much those nights...

Seriously first assessments mean nothing! Maths was one of my favourite subjects and in the first assessment I got 77%. I was disappointed and, like you, thought I'd do horribly in my HSC. But that gave me the motivation to do better and for my 3rd assessment I got 100% and then 98% for my...

Can someone please help me with this question? Thanks A box is placed on the back of a truck and the truck accelerates away. The coefficient of friction between the surface and the box is μ. i) Draw a free body diagram to identify all forces acting ii) What is the direction of the...

I'm Georgia and I'm doing science (advanced)/law

I agree - all you can do is take every assessment as it comes with the attitude that "it's only worth X amount". Obviously do your best but if you just look ahead to the very near future and not to the final exams then you'll feel a lot more in control. Also, you have to constantly tell yourself...

Look, honestly for private tutoring, you get what you pay for in most subject areas. For english, I highly recommend private tutoring. I had the most amazing english tutor; not only was she the best teacher, but she was so so dedicated to helping me succeed - took the time to mark as many essays...

I'm doing SCIF1121 in first semester because it allowed me to have the timetable I wanted and I also wanted to get it out of the way lol

Re: Semester 1 UNSW Chatter Thread 2013 I can't seem to long onto to zmail - is there a reason why I can't do this? I've accepted my offer and enrolled in all my classes - should I call IT?

science (advanced)/law with a major in climate systems science :)
