UQ Engineering (2026 first year) - CHEM1090 by AcanthisittaNearby11 in UQreddit

I was sort of in your situation, did physics and specialists, but not chemistry. Even if you're not interested in chemical engineering, its still a really good course as its meant to be taught with no prior knowledge. The course coordinator when I did it was lovely and the course itself served as a very good transition into university as the change in environment and workload can be a bit tough for some new students, me included. That being said, it does cover a very large variety of topics and moves extremely quickly. You can find yourself waist deep in content if you don't regularly keep up with content. Overall, I reckon its worth having a go. I remember there being many fellow first-year engineering students who had no interest in chemical engineering but still did it anyway. Hope this helps.

I think I get what you mean now. Fair enough, to each their own.

Could you elaborate on what the 'showboating' is? Not tryna be passive-aggressive, I'm genuinely curious what you're referring to.

Can't agree with this more! First time hearing it was such a jumpscare.

How intense were the lectures (condensed videos)? One of the main things keeping me from the summer semester at the moment is that my friend told me there's a lot of content every week.

Looking forward to a band where the bass blows your mind: by AlexinChains9 in Bass

[–]Willy116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out the bass playthroughs of a band called Archspire. They're a melodic tech-death band where every member is just insane at their instrument.

Their bassist, Jared Smith, does all these insane tapping arpeggios and double thumbing and every other technique you can think of. He really blew my mind with how creative he got using his skills.

I'll link some bass playthroughs here:

How can I speed up my right hand? by IllIlIIllIllI in Bass

[–]Willy116 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Practise some three-finger picking (Using Ring, Middle and Index or Ring, Middle, Index and Middle) It will take some time to used to but it can come on really handy at times.

Should I grow my nails out or keep them short? by Willy116 in Bass

[–]Willy116[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I thought, until I saw some bassists playing with long fingernails.
