r/unsw

I scored HDs in my Y1 T1 courses, so theres no restriction between changing majors or courses or IPT at all.

Im at a crossroad between taking CS/Math OR Cs/Finance OR Math/Finance, like all of them are so equally important for building apps, doing business, doing trading,.... I wanted to hear reasons why you guys wouldn't one of these or two of these choices.

In the grand scheme of things, CS is not about employability, cuz building apps, distributing them, building a company, gets you to money same as math is not solely just about brains and going into academia, and finance is not a dumbed down version of math. Like all of these we could excel in and all could make money, so like is there something that could tip the scales?

For guys/gals way ahead, what would you choose? Just one Major? A different combo?

I know it's probably normal and the only thing I can do now is to try to make sure that it never happens again but I am still quite affected. :(

How does one recover from this :(( not coping too well at the moment.

edit: Thanks so much guys i feel a lot better now :D. Btw it was a math course and I think what happend was I messed up on the finals. Anyways thanks guys :DDD I'll def pass this course next time I do it

If you failed your comp class this term, I suggest booking your spots at the homeless shelter in advance before all the business and arts students fill them up. Your degree was already worth peanuts before, but now combined with your shit WAM it will be worth less than the dirt on the floor. Enjoy the rest of your degree while you can, because from here it's just going to get worse.

Hey guys, I’ve just transferred from USYD and their Reddit page is quite serious. Is having fun and shitposting allowed on the UNSW page?

How’s everyone’s final going? Did they give mark leniently? Was it as bad as last term?

It’s a 50% worth pre exam and final worth 50%, I got a higher pre exam mark than my WAM is this normal? I got let’s say 85/100 pre exam, and my final wam in my email is 35? That means without any final exam marks, I should still get 42.5 WAM so what happened?

Guys tf happened with comp2511 final exam? The result has no scaling and I received a grade of UF despite have a DN wam even though I felt that the exam went well for me. It's not just me, almost everyone I talked to even with DN or HD wam barely scored a credit this term while a lot just got UF, while it is not anything conclusive, well it signals an error too.

It seems like there was just an internal error if anything for not applying any scaling and there really needs to a be a deeper look in the grade distribution and management. This is also particularly surprising because I attempted all theory questions and 1 coding question and most of the decently performing students were around there.

I can request a review of results but I don't expect much from it, it's more so I wish to ask for a petition for the uni to get involved with how the results were handled this term.

Any experience or advice is much appreciated.

Wouldn't it be nice if UNSW had an astronomy and stargazing society??

For those who had seen the previous AstroSoc post I made on r/UNSW in here that I literally made at 1am, wouldn't it be great if it became official? What happened to the idea?

WELL GUYS, AstroSoc is FINALLY OFFICIALLY HERE

WE HAVE BEEN OFFICIALLY RECOGNISED BY ARC AND ACQUIRED an O-Day stall this monday!!!

This is the first time a UNSW society was first started SOLELY on reddit (yes guys! r/unsw is THAT powerful) anddd if you are part of that reddit OG who saw that first post (or even just a regular r/unsw lurker like me lol, this subreddit is genuinely the best part of UNSW and i read this subreddit everyday lmao), PLEASE DO come around and say hii!!! And tell us you're from reddit!! (although I wouldn't announce it for everyone to hear that proudly lol)

WE ARE GOING TO BE HOSTING FUTURE STARGAZING EVENTS AND COLLABS WITH OTHER SOCIETIES + ACCESS TO BIGGER AND BETTER TELESCOPES.
Think about that. Big trips into rural areas. Campfires. Music. That milky way galaxy above your head with the chill vibes in the air. That one guy tweaking the telescopes.

Hope to see you guys there on O day!! Our stall is L28!! And YES, r/UNSW is a wayyyy better uni subreddit compared to other uni subreddits 😃

How much you guys got in comp2511 am really surprised how the marking is done and if scaling was there are not mark is less than I expected what about others

Hi everyone, so I got a really bad grade for the 2511 T1 26 exam even though I answered all of the theory and 1/3rd of the coding part of the exam. I just didnt fully answer the 2 big coding questions. I talked to my friends who are doing the course with me this term and they got low marks like me even though we answered the same amount or more.

We checked our answers together and the chance of all our answers being incorrect for all of the questions is highly unlikely and there might be internal issues with marking. I'm curious what everyone else got for this course because I'm sure something went wrong with the marking.
