I would definitely kill myself if I was doing engineering or anything science based! 1000000 exams, no social life and a whole heap of F's on my academic transcript!

Thanks but no thanks


What did the Arts graduate say to the Science graduate?



"Would you like fries with that?"

Just kiddin

Tuesday - Engineering Context 1601
Wednesday - Physics B 1802 AND!!! Civil Engineering 1201
Thursday - Maths A 1901
Following Monday - Chemical Enginerring 1101

Now how much does that suck


Try 8 exams in a 2 week period.... thats what i had last session!!

And i wish i had a picture of it but above one of the toilet roll dispensers in college was written "Arts Degree - Please Take One"....

Electrical Engineering/Commerce @ Monash, Welcome to engineering G'Dave, dont stress too much in first year because it gets harder very quickly. Sometimes i wish i was just doing commerce cause its so freaking easy, but then i actually deceide to turn up to the lectures and i'm quickly reminded of how boring it is. Anyway my study started last night... 6 exams starting wed over 2.5 weeks. S_madis i dunno what your talking about no social life i only went out once this weekend because exams start this week but i'll go out twice or more a week otherwise, but my grades are average. :P P's get degrees!!!

hehehehe couldn't agree more! I'm however aiming to do honours and I have to maintain a C average in order to do so. However, ask most syd.ta's and they will tell you that I still manage to roam the town in off-chop antics most, if not all weekends.

Astroboy: Thats exactly why I wanna do Honours. A plain BA won't get me anywhere.

It's true! Except replace "most" with "every," and "weekends" with "evenings"

FKN LOL.. I've seen that myself at monash... in the engineering building.. almost crapped my pants.. (which wouldn't be so bad. as I was sitting on the toilet at the time)

But I'm not really stressing.. I've already done one today.. was fairly easy.. a definate pass short of some sort of major catastrophy.


Posted by NiNo LoCo on Jun-07-2004 13:08:

It's better to walk out of an exam thinking "oh shit that was bad, I'm so screwed" .. that way when you get your mark it's a pleasant surprise

On the other hand, walking out thinking "that was easy!" means you probably missed something

That's an interesting theory you've got there..
But usually I find that if I walk out of an exam feeling good.. I did good.. and I don't think I would have missed anything.
After writing 12 pages of java for one question,( ) I can't imagine I missed anything.

wholey crap how did u write 12 pages of java, the most i wrote for a question on the computing exam last year was less than 2 pages


Posted by G`Dave on Jun-09-2004 12:59:

I tend to get a bit carried away really... I'm sure most people only did 2-3 pages for one question..

But I load it up with comments.. use big writing.. and tend to cover all the input type holes.. like out of ranges and things like that... ends up taking quite a while.

Hey, I was just takin the piss. In my books as long as you enjoy what you're studying you're doing the right thing. I always give my friends shit about their science/eng timetables and group meetings etc...


Posted by G`Dave on Jun-09-2004 15:04:

OH... group meetings.... *Shakes Fist*


Posted by gumble on Jun-09-2004 16:27:

gotta love the peace and fucking quiet at 2 am.

now to learn myself this subject which i rarely went to, due to the fact we had the same lecturer for most of it, and noone could understand him.

after a few weeks, half the class wasnt bothering to show, and half of what did show left during the lectures....

and we didnt get a form to fill out on his lecturing skills, like with most....


Posted by webmeister on Jun-09-2004 22:49:

Maybe write out a letter on his lecturing skills in pig's blood or something, and slip it under his door


Posted by lethal on Jun-10-2004 03:42:

The funniset thing ive heard of from a lecturer is that one of my mates went to this lecture (which id conveniently slept through ) and for the first 40 minutes of the lecture no one could understand what the lecturer was saying no matter how hard they tried to decipher his accent (he was pakistani), after about 40 minutes though one kid at the front (a pakistani as well) put his hand up and went the lecturer asked him what he wanted, the kid said "i can understand you fine and all but it might be a good idea if you spoke in English so that the REST of the class can understand you!"

He'd been doing the whole lecture in Pakistani! LOL.... needless to say he stopped lecturing the next week!!


Posted by slick_mf on Jun-10-2004 03:55:

Is that actually true, sounds very apocryphal to me

Fkn funny though, we've all had lecturers like that


Posted by lethal on Jun-10-2004 05:31:

My mate swears black and blue its true.... and with the HUGE number of indian and pakistani lecturers we have here in the mech eng faculty at UNSW, i wouldnt be suprised if it was true!

Yeah that's the thing .. so many lecturers are like that!!!


Posted by matt.h on Jun-10-2004 06:35:

one of our rotational lectures for WWII History this semester was like that. he was german, and if he had to say a german word, e.g. lebensraum. his next couple of sentences would be spoken in rapid-fire german. until at which point he realised his mistake and muttered 'shizen!' hahaha.


Posted by G`Dave on Jun-10-2004 10:54:

My Civil Eng lecturer is the worst... speaks really bad english and everytime he tried to say point load (a type of loading on a structure) it comes out as porno and combine that with the various other words he can't say properly it comes up with pretty funny combinations.

And to top it off.. he has no idea why everyone just had a little chuckle and he gets pissed and has to wait for everyone.


Posted by OLi_A on Jun-10-2004 13:43:

i got 4 exams in 3 weeks
shame this is the hardest year of the degree

but seriously, who is going to the eastern uni games?
