What's your thesis on? I think I would have averaged about 6 hours a week on my thesis. Most weeks I spent about 3-4 hours a week.

Yep but it was called UAI back in my day :lol:

Also not sure what SAC stands for :lol:

Might sound reasonable or outrageous, but for every course I did that wasn't english I grabbed a syllabus, started at the first dot point, and wrote a summary on it. I did this for the entire syllabus. I then added in examples for each summary (whether it be formulas, questions, etc) and at the end of it, I had written my own textbook on the subject.

That's about as helpful as I can be - summaries worked best for me.

Fyi I did extension maths, physics, PDHPE, modern history, english, engineering studies.

No, I'm currently completing, finally, the work experience component of a bachelor of engineering.

My thesis studied the effectiveness of using natural energy shape structures (eg. trees, river deltas, blood vessels, lightning) to distribute heat energy through a system compared to modern manufacturing methods (eg. brick and baffle or zigzag). The idea being that energy distributes through the easiest path so by copying the structure less energy is needed to to drive the transfer of the same amount of heat.

Spotted this up in one of the labs - any of you UQ FFT users want to give this a try some time?

Cool, I might.

Exam timetable came out the other day and I'm absolutely gutted that the two latter fixtures for the Australia games fall on the days of my exam.

I have had this experience happen before albeit when the Merseyside derby was on. As an Everton supporter I really wanted to watch it but it finished at 3:30am and my exam was 8:30am that morning, I ended up watching the whole match, went to the exam and ACED IT (It was 2nd year statistics)! Probably won't do it again though with it being my final year.

Anyone else have the same problem?

Yeah I have an exam on the afternoon that Australia play Spain at 2am, no chance I'm missing that game though

Pretty glad I'm at least half way through my degree considering the idea to raise the student contribution towards tertiary education in tomorrow's federal budget. The 41% (average) contribution I make to paying off my degree is leaving me with a big enough HECS debt as it is.

Yeah pretty pleased I'll finish my degree next year and avoid all that, will suck for all the kids I'll be teaching though.

Results coming out at midnight. Palms are sweaty.

Thanks, passed everything! :)

Passed all my shit.

Who else goes to UWS Parramatta?

Well thank fuck for that.

YEEEEEEEWWWWWW!!!!!

Same here!!!

2 distinctions and a credit. Only missed out on a third distinction cause I couldn't give a fly it fuck about the third assessment and for the "learning journal" I got really drunk and just wrote a load of bullshit for 1,000 words hahaha.

pretty stoked!!

Eastern Glory I believe.

I'm at Bankstown/Milperra.

Oh sick. What do you study?

Still haven't received any results yet. :?

BA Social Science maj. Criminology.

Yeah, I was at Parra... Will have to see if I'm going to uni anymore. There's been a slight altercation between myself and uni. 100% my fault, but yeah....

1 D, 1 C & 1 P. 2 more subjects, then final year project, and I am done!

You had another fight between yourself and a bathroom mirror? :lol:

It was a window FFS :lol:
All sorted though, I didn't get kicked out of uni :p

What's everybody else studying and where?

I'm doing my Bachelor of Business Management majoring in marketing and advertising at UQ St Lucia.

HD, 2 x D annnnd a P to wreck my WAM

Always feel very unproductive in uni breaks, don't mind too much it starts up again soon-ish.

I'm within a stones throw of finishing my Mechanical Engineering degree @ Newcastle Uni. Have done it basically part time so this year is my 6th year. Will be fully finished by the end of next year, but won't have any classes after next semester.

Fuck that sounds bad haha. What are you studying?

I do BA of Business and Commerce majoring in sports management.

3 credits this semester :( I was 1% off a distinction in the class I worked my ass off in as well. Really pissed off I didn't get it, I thought I deserved it, especially when a large chunk of the unit is based on participation, and I spent so much fucking time at uni for that unit. I know the tutor rarely gives out distinctions, but it still pisses me off.

Was a very, very, very drunk night with Heine and SydCro... Haha

Doing education now. Was doing business/commerce (marking major) and Arts (Asian relations), but I've transferred.

Finally got my industrial experience approved, two years after completing everything else.

Nicely done.

I reckon you wont be short of work. Theres big demand in your field isn't there?
