    Microwaves on campus?

    Hope this is the right place to put this! I've been buying lunch way too often (for both my wallet and my waistline) and would like to bring in food more often, but it's been at least a year and a half since I've had need of a microwave. Are they still in Fisher library, and are there any...

    How long did it take you to feel confident-ish on your L's?

    I'm pretty old to have my learner license; nearly 22. I think I was about 19 when I got it but only had a single lesson (with an instructor) before having to put it on the backburner due to financial commitments (didn't have anyone who could teach me so my only option was/is professional...

    Availability when applying for jobs question

    I've always felt a little unsure about how it is best to list availability when applying for jobs during uni break so I thought I would ask here for opinions. Considering the uni break time of year, I have much available time for a job. However, am I still okay to put pretty much always...

    Tips for teaching prac attire?

    Hi all :) I wasn't really sure where the best place to start a thread on this was, this or a general education thread, so I apologise if it needs to be moved.

    Nice places to sit? :)

    Hello :) I was just wondering if anyone could share any nice places to sit when I have breaks. I only really feel comfortable sitting in the library when I'm doing work and being actually productive, so it would be nice to know of some places to be when I'm relaxing. Available powerpoints...

    Does USYD grade on a curve?

    Hello :) So, I was just wondering because I realised that I never figured it out before...does USYD grade on a curve? Or is it maybe dependent on what faculty/course/unit it is? So far all I could find on the website was an indicator of what grade equates to what band, like and 87%...

    Opinion on assignment?

    I was taking a quick break from working on assignments and started wondering about something. What is your opinion on a unit (which begins midway through semester and only lasts for half a semester by cramming things into only 7 weeks) having for the first assessment a 2500 word essay which...

    Question about essay submission

    This is probably a bit of a silly question but I wanted to check; for my English essay the unit outline says submit at SLAM general office. They mean the dropboxes in the building right? Not that for some assignments you have to actually hand it to the people in the actual office? Probably...

    Question about unit which begins in week 7

    Is the Co-Op website down?

    Hello :) I was trying to log into the co-op website to order a book for uni and I don't seem to be able to do so. Whenever I put in the correct password, nothing happens. Something only happens when I put in the wrong password, in which case it lets me know that it was wrong. I tried...

    Question about timetable finishing times?

    Hello :) I have a quick question about my timetable finishing times. I just noticed that for several of my classes the timetable itself makes it look like some of my classes finish earlier than the text in the boxes says? For example, it says that my ENGL2638 tutorial finishes at 3pm but the...
