general UNSW chit-chat (15 Viewers)

Dear student

BABS1201 and BIOS1101 are taught without any assumption of prior knowledge of biology. However, a number of you have taken HSC Biology, or an equivalent examination in another system.

If you are in this category you may wish to consider seeking an exemption from BIOS1101 in Session 2.

Exemption may be granted if you achieved 75% or better in your HSC Biology (or equivalent) and you obtain at least a credit in BABS1201.

Hmm, to apply for exemption or not to apply.

 

[Omiums Troll]

Hmm, to apply for exemption or not to apply.

Yeah do it.

You can then do a reduced work-load next semester, or get ahead

 

[missanonymous7]

Yeah do it.

But then I'd have to pick another elective subject offered in second semester...which sort of puts me in the same position as whoever it was (here on bos) who had electives to pick and no idea what to choose. all the subjects that sound remotely interesting to me are in semester 1.

plus, after the impending disaster that is chemistry, I could probably do with a wam boost

on the other hand...I did get 94 for hsc bio...and everyone says bios1101 is crap...

*sigh* I'll probably still end up taking it anyway.

Very nice TT, except... Fridays are going to be annoying for you

 

[sassystudy]

Anyone recommend the communications BAs here? I'm considering UNSW.

 

[Jago]

thats just a standard comm/eco timetable imo

pretty much, except I'm only doing 3 subjects (4th is an online gen ed, hells yeah!)

This semester I have 2 days a week, that's pretty win too.

leslie: oh nice, I heard 3114 is super easy is that why you picked it as well?

Not necessarily, i have training on fridays; so i'd already be in the city. just means i have to go earlier/lug my stuff around. So win win!

 

[TehAzner]

If you say so

I hope to get my desired 3 day timetable when I get to enrol on Tuesday arvo.

Hey guys does anyone know if Richard Buckland is going to record his lectures like he did last year?

 

[LordPc]
