    C compiler

    The replies by the others are great, but I'll add a little colour to them for the unaccustomed. Assuming you're running linux in some form (if you're not, at least just download the CSE Linux off the CSE department's website and run it in vmware) all you would have to type in a terminal window...

    Charging laptops

    Sweet :). I haven't seen any in the lecture rooms, though, are there any under the seats or somewhere like that or am I at the mercy of my battery?

    Charging laptops

    Hi UNSW. What chances, if any, would I get to charge a laptop at the uni? I have a fair few 2-3 hour breaks so I could just go to the library (I would be able to charge it there, right?) but I'm also curious if some tutorial or lecture rooms have power points. I'm trying to decide whether I...

    Is it possible to do a Diploma and Bachelor's degree at the same time?

    Hmm... interesting. I just fell short of 98 ATAR, so from what I remember I'll have to do very well this year if I am to get permission to overload next year. If I don't do well enough, I might try one of those institute courses. Anyone know about the summer semester? ashllis92: I've learned a...

    Is it possible to do a Diploma and Bachelor's degree at the same time?

    I'm sure I've read the answer to this somewhere else and I tried a search on here and various other places yet I couldn't find the answer. I'm thinking of doing a diploma at the same time as doing engineering as I would really like to learn a language or two on the side. So my two questions are...

    General education electives

    I was thinking of that, but would that necessarily effect my ability to perform in the other semester 2 subjects? As long as it's not a prerequisite for anything that year it should be OK, right?

    Help me please (MIT) !!

    The way I understand it, you would normally only have 1 major. "Students should apply to the CSE Student Office for the addition of a second major." If my knowledge of Masters degrees programs is correct, then I would assume you either do 1 major and a research project or two majors. That...

    General education electives

    Hi everyone. I'm going to be an Aerospace or Mechatronics student this year (still haven't quite chosen but I'm leaning toward Mechatronics). I've been looking at the plan for a while now and have been excited about these general electives because I would like to learn a language (probably...

    Unsw id

    Nevermind, I contacted the service desk via phone and they gave it to me right away.

    Help me please (MIT) !!

    I was thinking that someone from UNSW wanted to either exchange to MIT or do postgrads there.

    Unsw id

    Hey everyone... having accepted my offer last night, I forgot to write down my UNSW ID. Is there any way to find it out automatically? You'd think it was possible to have it e-mailed to my personal e-mail address. Has anyone run into the same situation, and if so, do you have any ideas on how I...

    Do you lose marks for having 2 related texts?

    I think 15 is out of the question but 12 or 13, can be done easily if your essay was good. Off-topic for a moment here, who will win? Gun or chainsaw? Inappropriate moment to ask? Yeah, I thought so, too :(. :shoot::chainsaw:

    Do you lose marks for having 2 related texts?

    I understand why those who read the question would be upset if they didn't have enough content to cover up the removal of a related texts. I also understand why they would be upset if they did have enough content. To be fair on the people who answered the question correctly, I believe that they...

    Section 1 - Stimulus

    Exactly. Don't be panicking if you felt you didn't write enough - of course, a 2 or 3 page essay is never going to get full marks, but it can still get a decent score as you say. If you make sure you write a quality essay, length won't have that much of an effect. If everything you write is bad...

    TWO or THREE Related Texts for Essay??

    Honestly if they ask for three (and they won't) just do two anyway. How many marks are you going to lose, 3? Besides, you'll end up having far more depth than most other people, meaning you'll get the same or better anyway.
