    Need For Speed: Most Wanted

    Pushing it... But, a 1.5 ghz (Pentium4, Socket 423), with 512 ram, and 64 mb Ti4200 can run it at lower resolutions (800X600). Just turn down the effects. I've been playing this game on PC over the last two days, and I have to say, its just like any other NFS I've played - nothing much has...

    Year Weightings???

    Acid: if you want to become an academic honours will be preferable. However, if you plan on entering the workforce immediately, I'd say honours, while it is nice, a year of experience would be more beneficial. That aside, it doesn't hurt to do honours, but we will (most of us) be working for...

    Year Weightings???

    Acid: I don't know.. But don't worry, for commerce there is no such weightings applied. Actually, I think right across the uni they use the same system where WAM is the average of all your marks, regardless of year or course. However, various engineering schools (and possibly science) have...

    Special Consideration

    What redslert says is true, and in the end it is mostly the lecturer's decision. If you really are sick, you will be bed-ridden, unable to make it to the examination. And Grizzly, what you say is ture, and it is for most, a very gray area. Personally I'd say, if you are sick, you won't make...

    Special Consideration

    aishiteiru: I believe you. I was in no way suggesting that you falsified medical certificates or as such. I just wanted to mention the fact that it seems that many people are trying to get a supplementary exam to essentially, 'try again', not because they were sick or as such, and the...

    Special Consideration

    Man, what is it with everyone applying for special consideration? I was under the impression that special consideration was only for people who felt that their performance in the final exam was severely affected by sickness, or some other event eg. family death etc. I think if you are sick...

    biochemistry

    I disagree with mr survivor39. How much maths is there in biochem? THe most rigorous calculations in biochem involve the 4 operators, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. As for chem, you can get by without learning the chemical structures, well I can so therefore you can...

    IS and Management

    You applied for IS co-op and don't know what is IS in terms of the degree and possible career paths? Way to go :rolleyes: Seriously though, I don't know, so I can't answer your questions.

    FINAL Semester 2 Exam Timetable

    I reckon. I am afraid genetics will ruin my otherwise beautiful looking transcript.

    How hard is Actuarial Studies

    ACTL1001, as we all know, is designed with the point in mind of scaring off our budding bright actuaries. Is it a good thing? Well, to be honest? I think so. It has its negatives, but it filters out those who don't want to work hard. I agree, though, Sachi may be a little harsh in the way...

    How hard is Actuarial Studies

    I disagree. It provides an introduction to the rest of the actuarial courses - in terms of content(somewhat). It serves to warn students that they must be prepared to work hard in order to survive, let alone do well, in further actuarial subjects. And here's some consolation to those...

    How hard is Actuarial Studies

    I'd say 75+ in ACTL1001 to do reasonably well in later years. If you get a credit, you will still be able to manage 2nd year ACTL subjects, but you might be struggling. And I guess it depends on what you mean by 'reasonably well'. If you gain the following grades in ACTL1001: Pass- you...

    Age of Empires

    AOE III has a few modes: Campaign & Skirmish - Supremacy(random map) and Deathmatch(i'm guessing its your typical high-resources, rush type) I've been playing the campaign, and its pretty addictive:D. The shaders on the water are really nice!!

    Age of Empires

    I'm going to start playin' this game soon... its all installed, just not enough time to play it. Oh, and it appears things have changed since the demo. The final version has a smaller HUD (whatever you call it) - it displays the minimap, economy and selected unit statistics. In the demo, it...
