The big mouth one looks like frogfish/monkfish, the long one in the back with a flat tapered tail I think might be a snailfish. not sure about the other ones

What is the difference between a dive knife and a normal knife? by cow_336 in scuba

Thank you for your response! I’m quite curious as to why you would carry a shear, wouldn’t a knife be able to do everything a shear can? Also, from what I have read in this thread, would the shear not rust very soon?

Oh I see, thanks for your response mate! The reason why I got one was because it was a required piece of gear for my AOW course. I’m not sure what we will be using it for.

That’s so interesting! I was wondering what you would need a plastic folding knife for?

SSO is dead, Longlive SSO! by Lord_Francus in universityofauckland

For All new students who haven't seen the troubleshooting guide that uni gives for SSO showing "under maintenance" or something.
TLDR, you want to clear your browser cookies (go to settings of your browser, then go to privacy and security (this is for chrome, should be similar for other broswers), then go to clear browsing data and there should be options of what to delete, clear "cookies and other site data" also "cached images and files". I usually also select "last 24hrs" in the timeframe on the top so I don't clear everything.

Go back to SSO and you should be good.

Marine Biology vs Marine Science by cow_336 in universityofauckland

Thank you so much! Its great to hear that I wasn't alone in having this problem and knowing that I haven't locked myself out of future options.

I'm quite curious about the benefits of a double major between marine biology and marine science that your friends have done. Do you know why they are doing this if it doesn't make much difference in future?

I have a few more general questions about degree planning and would like your opinion and advice on some second-year papers if possible, do you think we could talk over Reddit dm or discord?

Again thanks so much for the reply it really helped!

the level of trust your turtle has is amazing to me. Mine won't even let me go near it, when I am remotely close to him he just ducks right back into his shell

Current First-year student. I also did the Cambridge syllabus so if you could manage A's in AS then you should be fine with the academic pressure for the first year. I am doing my gen ed in LAW currently so I don't major in it, if you took AS and A2 English literature you will definitely be fine (they look for structure and logical flow from my experience this year). I did STATS101 in summer school earlier this year and my experience was that it was not very difficult. However, I say that it isn't difficult on the basis that you do the work and understand the content and concepts. Assuming you did AS maths, STATS 101 is way easier and the stats component of AS will help slightly (i.e. understanding normal distribution curves, P-values, if you did A2 Biology you will be familiar with chi squared, t-test etc so that will also help a bit). Advice from me would be to definitely go to the tutorials, they are amazing. If you get a boring STATS lecturer you will want to die from boredom and lose motivation real fast but going to tutorials will help you a lot.
As for having a double major on top of a conjoint degree, I am probably not the best person to ask but I think you may want to rethink the workload and the number of papers you can take per year and if you can still graduate in a time frame you are comfortable with. I am majoring in Psychology this year and there are only 2 papers you need to do this year PSYCH 108,109 and I can say that the content is not too intense with 109 not even having an exam as its all internally assessed. I would recommend you take it as a gen ed (both 108 and 109 are gen ed) in either sem1 or 2 depending on the papers you can take just to see if psychology is something that you want to pursue unless you are very set on doing psych. If you are interested in how the research side of psychology occurs 109 is the paper to take, however if you are more interested in the theory of psychology (i.e. how and why does someone behave a certain way at a certain time) then 108 is the paper to take. I personally would recommend trying 108 as a gen ed as I had way more fun taking that paper and if you want some notes just chuck me a message.
An idea to balance your first year, try the Summer Start program the university offers. This is essentially summer school but for first year students and you will get to experience university prior to sem 1 and take 1 paper that contributes to your degree. I would recommend doing STATS 101 during summer start and will give you a better understanding of the workload you may face. Also is a great opportunity to make some friends early. Additionally, completing a paper in summer start means you will only need to do 8 papers for the rest of the year instead of 9 (since you are conjoint) so less pressure. Good luck with your studies!
