    Thesis students, how busy are you?

    It's as hard as you make it.. Ask your supervisor what kind of time commitment they should expect from you for your particular topic. I think most supervisors would be looking at minimum 6 hours - 1day solid hands-on work per week for your thesis project. Possibly less at the start when...

    Will a distinction average in engineering actually grant you first class honours?

    " Will a distinction average in engineering actually grant you first class honours? " Yes, a 'weighted' (depending on how your school does it) wam of 75 will always give first class hons ('weighted as in for example 40% 4th year subjects, 30% 3rd year subjects, etc.) I think some schools...

    The s1 2008 Uni Results thread

    For (engineering at least), the uni medal usually goes to someone if they score alot better than the second best ranking person (or for larger degrees like EE, the top 2 people if their marks rape the rest). For mine the person who got the medal had a wam (weighted by year, not the nss wam) of...

    The Australian Flag

    Btw if you want to get technical we didn't use the "current" flag in a bunch of wars (ok maybe if you mean in Afghanistan and Iraq, sure), but using reason for keeping the blue flag is bs. Find ANY ww2-era (or ww1 if comparing red/blue ensigns) pictures (in colour) and they will show the red...

    The Australian Flag

    law firms pay engineers and scientists to appear in court to explain 'advanced calculus' shit. because lawyers 1) don't know anything about advanced caluclus and 2) they understand that to convince anyone about anything maths/science related, they will need to throw a reputable expert in the...
