The Planet units are the best !!! ASTR170, highly recommended, the Universe is amazing ;) Good luck today :)

It's magic isn't it? 40 mins pre lecture - iLearn Activated!!! You never let me down Physics dept!! :)

Yeah, you get a bunch of non-Unit stuff under "Student Support" - Academic Integrity, Studywise etc. these are modules you can do, watch vids, do quizzes... but they aren't compulsory (at least not for me) and they are still sitting in my iLearn page. Don't worry all your iLearn units will come...

Not sure I understand all your dilemmas here but re Q3 - Yes, you can do as many units as you want if you qualify for the pre-req requirements. However !!!..... I have been told (unofficially) that if you do MORE units (i.e. cp) than your degree minimum requirements there is less HECS subsidy...

Of course! You can tell I didn't bother following through with t-sub haha - is this a typical Ext2 Q, seems a little on the 'lets use every 1st yr Uni trick we can' - poor HSC kids, I don't envy you!

Hope this scrawl is readable and helpful - loads of stuff from the integration trick bag ... I didn't have room to re-sub back in each variable for the longer part... Edit - sorry looks like you are well in control of all the method, I just read InteGrand response, I see the confusion. Oh well...

Thats ok, no problem. I think we have 4 weeks to drop units and face no financial / gpa penalty. They will email you to remind you anyway. And you're right, 4 units is hectic (depending on what they are and how immersed you are in them.) I spent 95% of my time in semester 1 on Math/Phys and gave...

Review of POL107 - "Good, yeah interesting.." Haha, this guy is not one to over describe, but he enjoyed it, got a distinction apparently.

Hiya, your fears and feelings are normal. I know someone who did POL107 last semester and he got a D or HD, i forget, but i'll ask him. POL108 is also a people unit right? So it's nice to get that out the way, but there's no rush... I too did 4 units in s1 last year (I did 2 units in s2) and...

lol as a newbie last year, it's a little disconcerting not to see your iLearn unit activated before the 9am Monday lecture! My new Math unit is already on iLearn, with lecture files for each week already! Best faculty in MQ!

I think he's also asking about PACE units? Just cross that bridge when you come to it, there's lots of variation depending on which unit you do. The faculty will have plenty of info by the time you reach PACE units.

Math 132 is like Math 135 but more emphasis on proofs behind concepts, such as the definition of a limit and the fundamental theorem of calculus etc. If you did well and understood your Extension 2 Math, you'll expand on that and probably enjoy it a lot. My experience with the Math dept of MQ is...

"IF" Physics is your thing, and you think you'd enjoy continuing studying the subject at Uni, I strongly recommend University Physics (Pearson publishers) or Fundamentals of Physics (Wiley) - these books are the real deal in terms of value and content. In hindsight, for HSC, I used the Physics...

mmmm i like this initial Q and update as a metaphor for modern expectations vs your Trad. cliche advice from a School Councillor - forget Grades, your ATAR is only a competition for obtaining your ideal study regime in Uni. Forget grades at Uni, they just feed your ego and pride - the ideal is...

Thanks

Anyone got an idea on what the main differences (or approaches) are for these two units? They are both mainstream 1st year Physics major units but one or the other is required (then onto 106 or 141..) Looked at the old unit guides but both seem to do the same thing.. Cheers

Has anyone had any experience purchasing just the code needed to match a textbooks online content? I only ask as a friend kindly lent me their Chemistry book for my unit (CBMS101 Intro Chemistry), but of course the unit guide tells me I should buy the bundled package for the vital online...

Thanks for this link. As it`s the last discount year its tempting to try and pay up, but as writer states, I`m better off paying existing debts that incur proper interest % !!! Vote Bernie Sanders for PM

Thanks for the info. Yes they are both lectures, so I guess I`ll attend alternate ones per your suggestion, and see where the value lies in attending. Cheers!

I have an unavoidable lecture clash for Astr170 and Phys140 on Fridays, the MQ FAQs say they add classes as needed and to keep an eye out but from what I read here, most people just listen to one online ? This isn`t frowned upon by lecturers?
