    Marks before the finals for a D/HD?

    (assuming a student is HD level) how so? the class tests aren't difficult and they only take the best 3 out of 4. the online tests are free marks. the only place you could lose marks is on the maple/matlab test.

    What factors led you to study at past/current university?

    pretty much just location. UNSW is 2km away and USYD is a good 10km away. and lots of my friends chose UNSW which was a plus but not a deciding factor.

    Appealing for my Exam

    Just email/see the tutor/lecturer in charge and ask nicely if they can double check or if you can see your exam paper. I'm not saying that the mark you got is correct, but remember the effort you put in doesn't equate to marks.

    Marks before the finals for a D/HD?

    with math1131/1141/1151, you should be on or near 100% to get an HD. Even many people on 100% for the assessments do not get HD.

    Getting clashes approved?

    you just need to fill in the form. it depends for each faculty, but the faculty that you're in will have a clash approval form. i disagree with the above post. For science at least, they'll approve it if you fill in the clash form which needs the signatures of the lecturers of the 2 subjects...

    Free elective!!! Easy and low contact hours

    Just need one answer and one question every 2 weeks or so. E.g. They'll have like a discussion forum for Weeks 1 and 2, so you need to do something for that, then the next one will be for Weeks 3 and 4, etc.

    Free elective!!! Easy and low contact hours

    well, astronomy isn't even technically a gen ed subject because it is PHYS1160, not GENX####, although it can be taken as a gen ed. Free elective and gen eds are pretty much the same thing except gen eds cant be from your faculty.

    Scaling

    i dont think most courses are scaled. it's not really like HSC. Subjects in HSC were scaled so that different subjects were on the same scale so to say. There's no such thing in uni, apart from maybe math1131/1141 and similar. Basically, you will get your raw mark for your final grade.

    Double degrees

    You can do a major and minor in arts, but I believe that there are no minors in Science anymore. However, of course this doesn't mean you won't be able to do science courses from another stream. In fact, you will have to.

    integral

    The absolute value does matter. It'll just mean you have cases for the final answer, if x<-1 or x>=-1

    Help with Academic Transcript unsw

    I've never thought that it mattered what your WAM was when you graduated, but I guess it's pretty extreme to graduate with a WAM of <50. My understanding was that you just had to complete the required courses for your degree, no matter what your end WAM was. But I could be wrong. You should ask...
