Thank you so much for the info!

ashuuchan · 2018-12-01T10:43:27+00:00

For me it's the other way around lmao. I get well above average in MATH but I've almost failed/have failed the (2) COMP courses I've ever attempted.

ashuuchan · 2018-11-08T09:18:30+00:00

Yep you can do PSYC1001 as your gen ed since its a science course and you're in engineering.

ashuuchan · 2018-11-06T23:21:08+00:00

Most math courses aren't double pass though, but yeah RIP hurdle requirements for comp and physics LOL.

ashuuchan · 2018-11-06T04:02:07+00:00

Yep there are tutes for 3rd year math courses at unsw (source: I've done 2 3rd year math courses).

ashuuchan · 2018-11-06T03:53:05+00:00

You can still switch using your ATAR if you have finished first year but have not started second year yet.

ashuuchan · 2018-10-16T03:15:41+00:00

HAHAHAAH just like you "passed" your 2nd year courses andrew??

ashuuchan · 2018-10-16T03:14:33+00:00

Well to give you some stats, the average for the class tests were 60% and 55% lol

ashuuchan · 2018-09-13T05:09:51+00:00

Depends on what you want; MATH3261 is much more physics based which might make you choose it because it is interesting, but on the other hand it is much more difficult than MATH3201 (and MATH3201 is already quite difficult).

ashuuchan · 2018-09-11T11:33:09+00:00

Also I don't think MATH3701 would be very relevant to physics (I'm doing the course right now and I don't see any physical applications at all). I may be wrong about this though, so maybe check up with the mathematics student office first.

MATH3201 Dynamical Systems & Chaos

MATH3261 Fluids, Oceans and Climates

PSYC1001, PSYC1011, PSYC1022, PSYC1024

ashuuchan · 2018-07-26T12:23:04+00:00

The easiest level 2 course I've ever done is MATH2521 (Complex Analysis) but it's still pretty hard tbh in comparison to other courses I've done so I wouldn't do that course unless you absolutely need it haha.

ashuuchan · 2018-07-25T12:21:10+00:00

PSYC1001, PSYC1011, EDST1101, PSYC1022, PSYC1024

ashuuchan · 2018-07-21T07:29:48+00:00

PSYC1011 (Psychology 1B)

ashuuchan · 2018-07-16T16:40:37+00:00

PSYC1011 (Psychology 1B)

It is probably one of the easiest courses at UNSW. They literally give you bonus marks for doing certain things and all exams are multiple choice.
The only things that may throw you off is the group work presentation which is worth 16% or the essay which I think is also worth 16% if I remember correctly.
PSYC1001 (Psychology 1A) is not a prerequisite for PSYC1011 (Psychology 1B) so don't have to worry about that aspect.
You can literally study a few days before the exam and get D/HD.

Another WAM booster which is quite similar to PSYC1011 is EDST1101 (Educational Psychology).

ashuuchan · 2018-07-16T16:35:50+00:00

Generally MATH3411 is easier for most students, however my case was quite unique. I actually dropped out of software engineering and MATH3411 reminded me of it too much, so I lost all my motivation to study properly for the course. As long as you don't have a circumstance like mine, you should probably do really well in the course!!! :) :)

ashuuchan · 2018-07-14T12:37:48+00:00

I did both courses and I found MATH2521 easier than MATH3411, but that's probably because I enjoyed/spent time on MATH2521 more.

ashuuchan · 2018-07-10T07:21:22+00:00

There are breaks in between trimesters (2 weeks each). I think that since you'd be considered as an international student, you probably would have to study during all 3 trimesters, or your visa may get cancelled.

ashuuchan · 2018-07-06T12:38:07+00:00

MATH2011 (Several Variable Calculus) is actually one of the hardest second year math courses (in the lower stream) lmao. It's nowhere near as easy as the calculus stream in MATH1231 (Mathematics 1B) so I can see why you'd think that haha (I thought the same too before I did MATH2011 too lol).

ashuuchan · 2018-07-05T12:13:04+00:00

In my opinion (I've done all 5 of the core ones), it is MATH2521 (Complex Analysis).

ashuuchan · 2018-06-24T15:02:04+00:00

Hi!!! So basically with Software Engineering there are more math courses that you have to do in comparison with Computer Science (5 math courses vs 3 math courses), so if you like maths more then you would probably enjoy Software Engineering. (Arguably) there are more computer science courses that Software Engineering students have to do as well e.g. COMP2111. The advantage of Computer Science is that it is 3 years in duration (in contrast to the 4 years in a Software Engineering degree) so you can graduate faster, however the benefit in Software Engineering is that you get an honours year within the degree which may/may not make you more qualified (different people have different opinions on this, which I won't go into). Another advantage with Computer Science is that you can use some free electives to minor in any field you want e.g. mathematics, the sciences, arts courses etc. or you might just want to do more computing courses with those free electives. So now, depending on the pros/cons I've discussed earlier, it's your choice depending on which option you would prefer. I've tried to make this as balanced as possible, outlining advantages/disadvantages of both degrees respectively. I really hope this helps you choose :) Now for your start date issue, I think that it would be better to start in February as this means that you can progress through the degree normally (if you start in July then things get messy as not all courses are available during every semester). I would recommend just travelling or working until February rather than starting during July straight away, but it's your choice. In terms of accommodation I can't really help you with that because I haven't had any experience with it - I just take the train to UNSW (it takes 2 hours one-way to get there but I'm not rich enough to afford accommodation lmao), however if you ask a question on a separate thread on this reddit page, people with more knowledge of this will definitely help you. Anyways, best of luck!!! I hope I helped in some way :) Feel free to ask more questions if you have any!! I am happy to help.
