^+1 to above but also depends on how you're coping Some people are quick and independent thinkers and can learn complex concepts sufficiently from lectures alone, whereas others might need to have a read of textbooks in addition before feeling confident - but generic rule at least in science...

Re: Announcement from BOSTES - significant change to calculus courses The good news is that they cover this in the new MX2 as the first module, though the bemusing part is why MX2 (why not in 2 unit?). This probably will be the single most useful concept applicable to all questions that...

Re: Announcement from BOSTES - significant change to calculus courses Oh sorry my bad, I read it the other way around. It's correct yeah, sure if A is certainty P(A)=1 Sorry about that; read it as both ways. Hmm but I think quite a number of students will raise questions when cont. RVs come out...

Highly advised against as it ia considered at least to be academic dishonesty. You may have done the work before but can't use it claiming that is is a NEW work if it has preivously been published (either publicly or just to university). Turnitin system exists for that - it will crosscheck...

Re: Announcement from BOSTES - significant change to calculus courses ^which is very understandable, as classically high school teachers in NSW did not need to receive training in statistics (or at least would have been only briefly touched in 1st year uni maybe). But I think it's still not...

Re: Announcement from BOSTES - significant change to calculus courses I apologise for not quite having enough time to provide exhaustive list today, but the mistakes I found are mainly in stats section (I only had close looks of those sections because they are new and most likely to have...

Sorry, I probably wasn't too clear with what I meant. I've graduated science in 2012 (but still studying postgrad on top of work). I meant by taking notes: - Maths = handwrite on a dedicated notebook unless you are a latex master and can keep up with lecturer's speed with typing maths; -...

From my experience (not to brag but as a HD science student), you'll probably quickly get used to it but depends on lecture Maths --> copy board Non-maths sci --> write notes if and only if slides provided are missing some rather pertinent info Then the decision there as to whether to take...

Re: Announcement from BOSTES - significant change to calculus courses but it seems they still have significant mistakes throughout in new course content document...

Wow, is it really possible to do that with only 20 mice? Somehow I need ridiculously large number of mice if I can't do a staged operation... namely 500,000.

Ehh yes some people do make big changes to their career later on (even in late life), but if anyone is interested in pursuing a QUANTITATIVE subject, it is rather ridiculous imo that maths isn't a prereq. Yes, there should be other pathways through which people without 2u maths but with...

Re: Medical science usyd or advanced science unsw for post grad med or undergrad tran Med sci is overrated imo. Couple of reasons: 1. Why pay expensive fees to learn things you will anyway learn in medicine? 2. Doesn't substantially help with GAMSAT compared to adv sci. 3. You are better off...

Many people have already told you many things about 'studying smarter' but what I'd like to add, which some people might hate me for saying, is that you should never blindly do 'homework' set out by teachers. One reason for this is that homeworks are generally directed at whole classes, not...
