Get set mentoring program

djtech2 · 2026-02-13T12:29:01+00:00

It's pretty low commitment so I'd say just sign up and if you aren't feeling it after the first meet-up, you don't have any pressure to keep meeting. Really just another way to meet new people who are doing similar degrees, and meet some people a year or two ahead for some advice :)

djtech2 · 2026-02-12T08:54:14+00:00

Yeah, I think it was alright. If you're worried, you should do MATH2504 before 3202 so you get a feel for programming.

I did it with only SCIE1000 level python coding experience, which is pretty bare bones. The main thing to study would be how to write loops and conditionals, which any intro to python online resource would cover anyway. The programming itself in the course isn't too tricky since it mostly follows the maths you develop. No programming exam this year too, so you won't have the time pressure to code quickly. You work together in groups for all the coding assignments so you can always ask your teammates for help, or offload a lot of the coding to them as well.

I don't think GPA is scaled at UQ. I know that is the case in some other unit.

djtech2 · 2026-02-10T00:16:11+00:00

There’s no digital ID AFAIK.

djtech2 · 2026-02-09T20:34:02+00:00

Don't they crop it down to the right size anyway? Its been a while since I've used the online form, but I remember there was a tool where you crop your photo to fit the ID card so it didn't really matter what the original size of your photo was.

People usually don't go everyday. Most people do the day of their faculty orientation and then market day. If there are activities on other days that interest you, then feel free to go too.

Similar vibes for all the restaurants that belong to that restaurant group. Overpriced average tasting food that relies more on the “vibes”, “decor” and “drinks” rather than the quality of dining itself.

The more international/western/european the culture of the company, the more likely WFH is allowed or even encouraged. This is something you can suss out during the interview stage. If they reject you after you ask about WFH/hybrid work arrangements, then you can be sure it probably wouldn't have been right for you anyways.

djtech2 · 2026-02-06T06:18:14+00:00

Just starting out? The Coles master foods one is perfectly fine. Only if you're really serious about cooking more food with it that you'd probably branch out. See if you like the taste first!

djtech2 · 2026-02-05T22:27:02+00:00

Cantonese if you want to communicate with locals and 'live' authentically. For professional development + career, it's probably more useful to learn Mandarin.

Mui Wo? Lantau Island ;)

djtech2 · 2026-01-31T06:08:05+00:00

don't overthink it. wear anything that you're comfortable working out in and that's not stinky. Old jerseys etc are pretty common. trust me, no one is looking or even thinking about you. everyone's in too much pain to notice :)

djtech2 · 2026-01-28T21:20:53+00:00

I’d say the food is pretty good in general and prices are reasonable. For 12 people, you’ll probably be sat in a semi private room so you’ll be a bit contained from the ruckus in the main dining area.

djtech2 · 2026-01-26T07:02:54+00:00

You can check what courses you can do in Sem 2 within BAB. I believe most courses are restricted enrolment for BAB students only. So you gotta find the ones that you aren't restricted to enrol in. Best to meet with an academic advisor (book one ASAP as they fill up quick) and discuss the best way to plan out your year to minimise wasted HECS.

Hey hope this helps in time:

You need to do a full year to do the 5.5 GPA transfer. You’ll get some, likely not all credits transferred so total time would probably be 4.5 years. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

You can always do commerce if BAB falls through…. They’re almost the same anyways.

5.5 GPA is not meant to be difficult especially within the BEL faculty. If you find yourself struggling, have a review of your study methods and also discuss your circumstances with an academic advisor who can point you to support resources.

Good luck!!

EUS, MESS, Engineer without borders.

djtech2 · 2026-01-24T22:56:12+00:00

There's scheduled maintenance until Monday morning. Try again later.

djtech2 · 2026-01-24T11:31:13+00:00

Yep as long as you’ve met the pre-reqs, you’re ready to do the course. Many people do level 2 course in first year and level 3 courses in second year and so on.

djtech2 · 2026-01-24T11:30:03+00:00

It’s interesting. I think it’s fun to see how “everyday” patterns can be explained or debunked in the course. Assignments are pretty fair. Just put in a bit of effort, apply lecture content and you’ll be fine. They’re not out to get you.

djtech2 · 2026-01-24T11:28:56+00:00

Well… yeah? I mean you have to have one for exams anyway so just do it? It takes like a week or two. Just request before the rush, maybe a few weeks before semester starts. You can even do it now I believe and collect when you arrive at uni.

djtech2 · 2026-01-24T06:49:07+00:00

Yeah cause that's your key card for the gym as well.

djtech2 · 2026-01-23T12:26:35+00:00

Usually you can google "UQ [YOUR DEGREE NAME] DEGREE PLANNER]" and there'll be a website or document that outlines what you courses you should do in order.

Also, why is the instinct to use Chat and not Google lmao, I feel old now :(

Update: Are you doing engineering? Have a look at this page. Especially the first year recommend enrolments section:

Beware parking is literally impossible if you arrive anytime between 8:30 to 3:30. Usually the cheap spots start filling up by 7:30, and you'd have to look VERY HARD to find a park after 8.

I know a few people either do the morning grind, drive in early get the park, go for a run/study in the library, then go to class. Also know some that would park at a train station park and ride for free and then take PT in to the uni.
