hi all, looking for a review on first year materials (1050), structures and processes!

I'll have an ENG1010 one up once the exam is over (about 2 weeks away still!).

[EspoirTron]

I have friends doing 1050 and they seem to half enjoy it. Apparently it is quite dry at time because it can really just come to long and tedious problems that you just have to number plug. However, at other times you could get some really lateral problems that take time to decipher.

On the other hand I hear that the first year ENG1030 is pretty good

Three hours, five essays and one destroyed wrist later, biochem exam is done and I need a nap

[alondouek]

oh also this happened today.

Me to invigilator 1: "Hi, excuse me, this desk is a bit too high, is there any chance I can get a higher chair or lower desk?"
Invigilator 1: "Sure, give me a second"

*Invigilator gives me another chair*
-5 minutes later-

Invigilator 2: "Excuse me, I noticed you needed another chair. Were you feeling faint?"
Me: "No I'm just short"

[donkson]

why would an additional chair help with feeling faint?

[alondouek]

That's an extremely good question, and one that I fear I am not qualified to answer.

[keltingmeith]

What you do is you stand on it so that all the air rushes to your head. That way, you get more oxygen and start to feel better.

You also look like a tool in the process, but eh.

Has anyone here done ENG2092? I'm confused about the prerequisites; it says 'ENG1091 or MTH1030 and MTH1035 for students studying double degrees with science'.
So since I'm doing a double degree with science, do I need to do both MTH1030 and MTH1035? Both of these maths units list each other under their prohibitions.

I thought you couldn't do two units that are very similar...

[keltingmeith]

MTH1030 and MTH1035 are basically the same subject, so I'm pretty sure they'd mean you should've done one or the other. There's nothing in 1035 that you'd use in eng anyway, Simon just liked showing off pretty maths, hahah.

[Suigintou]

Haha yeah, thought that was weird. MTH1030 it is then.

You will struggle in 2092 without mth2010 or eng2091

Yep. I'm planning to do MTH2010 first semester next year. Then 2092 second semester

Libraries are less packed than i imagined them to be this year. Still the same old problem of guys hogging computers to watch the NBA though...must be as old as decent internet as monash is..

Who are these fools watching NBA when there is a perfectly good World Cup on? I DON'T RESPECT OTHER PEOPLE'S SPORTING PREFERENCES.

Anyone know where i can get my calculator stickered? It's been a few years since i last had to do it. They were giving them out in the tute but i missed out on it. Chemistry/science and maybe engineering will be fine if anyone knows where i can get those (its for my stats).
