    Commerce vs Teaching at Usyd?

    Don't be worried about job prospects. If you are good at what you do, there will be plenty of options open to you when the time comes. But that time is a long way off. For now, do whatever you enjoy more, commerce or teaching. Going to Info Days and researching the degrees and the type of stuff...

    Eligibility for Elite Athletes and Performers Scheme

    Yeah, I'm not sure if 2 hours of practice a day is that significant. Apply for it anyway, but don't be surprised if your application turns out like Anastasia's.

    Eligibility for Elite Athletes and Performers Scheme

    It's definitely worth applying for. Just keep in mind the purpose of the EAP is to help elite athletes and performers whose school results were affected negatively by the time and effort they put into their outside activities, not to throw bonus points at them for their proficiency at those...

    Mathematics Textbook Recommendations

    So I've noticed looking around the forums there hasn't really been too much mention of good textbooks for university level mathematics and beyond. There's so many choices from all around the world on such a wide range of subjects, and deciding on books to buy have proved quite overwhelming for...

    Valid argument for dropping to 10 Units of Study

    I was in a situation like yours. I wanted to drop to 10 units for my HSC, but my parents were too stubborn and ignorant to convince, so I ended up forging their signature on the subject form. Seriously, your education is your education, and if you want to drop a subject then it's none of your...

    1st Year University Mathematics Thread

    Shame this thread hasn't taken off yet. I'm doing Calculus and Linear Algebra at Summer School this year so I could do with some extra practice if we can start this thread up again :). As for now, haven't really learnt a lot of the content yet, but from cursory readings I think I can do one of...

    Subject Reviews (with PDF compilation)

    MATH1004 - Discrete Mathematics Ease - 9/10 The topics themselves are not too difficult, and apart from one or two questions on the assessments, most of the calculations and questions you are given are pretty standard, or are at least are easy to figure out once you've interpreted the...

    MATH1001 and MATH1002. After that I should be all set for 2nd year Maths/Stats when March comes along. And yeah hang in there haha.

    All finished uni for this year :). So, decent break for me, and then start Summer School in about two months.

    Don't know about you, but from my experience, that's generally an indication that they repeat some of the exam questions.

    would it be realistic to get a timetable for b science first year that was afternoons

    Re: would it be realistic to get a timetable for b science first year that was aftern Yes, so it achieves pretty similar results. And if you check the times available for certain units here: https://web.timetable.usyd.edu.au, and use that to limit your availability accordingly, you can pretty...

    would it be realistic to get a timetable for b science first year that was afternoons

    Re: would it be realistic to get a timetable for b science first year that was aftern Unfortunately the majority of science units, and indeed many other non-science units as well, are taught in the mornings. You're really limiting yourself with university options if you're only looking for...

    Thing is, I'm not so sure all of the professional protesters are middle class. Still, it's a bit hard to take them seriously. I remember an Honi Soit article from earlier in the year from one of them, complaining about how she can't afford to buy breakfast at uni, the rich are evil etc etc. And...

    Sorry that sounded terrible haha. If it's one of the major protest marches than I guess most people there mean well. It's the professional protesters from the Socialist Alternative and the EAG that kind of ruin it in my eyes.

    The same stuff as always I'd imagine. Blah blah blah fee deregulation, blah blah blah Pyne's a scumbag, blah blah blah we're so cool because we're so progressive and shit, blah blah blah.

    ACCT2542 cross-institutional study from UNSW

    The closest USYD unit you'll find is probably ACCT3013 (Financial Statement Analysis). Even so, USYD doesn't really have too much choice for Accounting electives so while there is probably some similar content, you might run into trouble proving it is an equivalent unit. If I were you, I would...

    Oh mine have too. I made up a different degree plan every time I transferred, but now I think I'm settling down on what I want to study so I'm relatively confident my plan won't change. Unless I decide I want to go on exchange in the future, then I may have to rearrange the order of units around...

    Well that's probably a reason for me to avoid her then haha. I've got my degree plan pretty much down pat, and I'm not breaking any rules, I might just go about my own business and only involve the deans if problems occur.
