    Trouble with timetable...

    First thing you want to do is work out what units you are going to do first sem and 2nd sem. To work that out you need various info such as what your majoring in, what core units are required etc etc. Once you know that go to: Timetables @ Macquarie Use the 2010 Timetable Maker (not the grid...

    Parental expectations...

    Honestly, if you picked engineering because your parents wanted you to do it, you are going to regret that severly in the next few years.

    For the accounting part, most of it is number crunching/memorising formulae etc so you will be fine having done just general maths for most of it. For app fin however you might use more complicated stuff (calculus etc) so a bridging course would be fine. Don't listen to what anyone tells you...

    Acst101

    lol don't get me started about this unit. this is a terrible indication of what an applied finance or an actuarial degree will be like. it's pretty much just mindlessly subbing numbers into formulaes/drawing timelines/remembering facts. wait until the 2nd year/3rd year of app fin then you will...

    Actuarial/Accounting or Actuarial/Finance?

    Okay let me address a few things before i give me opinion on what double degree you should do. Firstly, MEXT1 and MEXT2 aren't that much of a reliable indicator of whether you will succeed in actuarial studies. UAI/ATAR doesn't mean that much in uni because uni and actuarial is more about...

    Buy a ticket or ditch it?

    It worked for me once, but that's because the ticket machine was legitly broken. I guess they wouldnt know though, so i just got lucky with a nice ticket guard.

    minimal study and pulling out with a mid 90?

    Most people learn … • 10% of what they read • 20% of what they hear • 30% of what they see • 50% of what they see and hear • 70% of what they talk over with others • 80% of what they use and do in real life • 95% of what they teach someone else That's what my uni lecturer told me first day...

    Enrol in Units??

    If i can remember correctly, you should get a usb in the mail explaining all the steps. Pretty much you go to enrolment day, and you have to fill all these forms in, get academic advice etc etc. It's pretty daunting first time especially if your doing a degree with lots of flexibility but you...

    Snobberry at university

    It's funny because the same people i talk to call UTS the 'super tafe'. I guess that's just because they ARE better than you as well.
