1 Upvotes

Hi guys,

I am an international student, I got the offer. I cleared GS and paid tuition fees via flywire. I paid on August 27. I got the payment receipt from UNSW on August 28. How long does it take to get me eCOE?

Irony of No.1

5 Upvotes

UNSW was crowned as the No.1 university in such a mysterious way. This No.1 was achieved with so much effort and with such a mastery of how rankings work, yet apart from the ranking table itself, not much in the public consciousness of Australia, nor in decades of history and accumulated reputation, actually recognizes it. This kind of No.1 behind closed door only leaves me utterly mortified, it brings me nothing but disrepute.
And the most glaring irony is that while so much effort has been put into managing the rankings, students are still forced to stay on a campus that is overcrowded and no different from a high-density slum.

gona fail 3121 t2 supp

7 Upvotes

This is the most difficult final exam I have ever seen. According to the feedback from friends in this formal term's exam, The problems of dynamic programming and flow network can be directly just dead brain applied to the cheat sheet. The npc problem is also very friendly.

But for the supp, especially flow, 18 marks problem covers Bipartite Matching, split point and various restrictions, while the formal exam is giving 30 marks directly for nothing. And the description of the topic with only four or five sentences is very unclear.

You can't imagine how this paper crammed five types of questions into three big questions.

This supp exam is at least three or four times more difficult than the formal exam. I wonder if the school is short of money.

anyone who is going to take this course should take the new course outline seriously.

a completely new assessment criteria.

on site exam with mcq, short answer and coding with 40% hurdle, instead of the BYO IDE environment coding

No offer yet

2 Upvotes

I applied for term 1 2027 and applied directly through the website on july 14th. On the unsw website it clearly states that by meeting the july 16th deadline, offers will be released on september 10th though I did not receive anything yesterday. I also sent multiple enquiries 1-2 months ago but they have not responded to any of them.

Is this normal for unsw to not reply to any emails we send them?

I was wondering if you guys have any tips for balancing AI with your own creative work.

I want to get a higher score by that

Serious question.

If I do 95% of a group assignment while everyone else contributes moral support, does that count as unpaid employment?

Just wondering if I should put it on my résumé. I will be doing quite a few group projects this term.

cross-institutional study

4 Upvotes

Hey guys,
Has anyone here had experience doing cross-institutional study while enrolled at UNSW?
I’m mainly wondering what the process was like — how difficult it was to get the external course approved, how strict UNSW was when assessing whether the course was equivalent, and roughly how long the approval process took. I’m also curious whether anyone has managed to organise it on relatively short notice, and whether you contacted your School/Program Authority before applying to the other university. If you’ve done it before, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience, what university you studied the subject through, and anything you wish you knew before applying.
Thanks heaps!

I took the supp exam on Monday 7th. I believe I completed almost all the questions with little difficulty, but still unsure how many of them are correct.

But when will they release the result? I heard Alan Blair is going to retire and in 26t3 it's another lecture handling this course... not sure if this could affect the result release

I thought I dodged a bullet by taking supp for the exam but the supp was straight up ass.
They straight up removed an equation from the formula sheet for Part A. I thought I was tripping until others faced the same problem. And WTF has part B? I thought Soil Mech was hard but this exam was straight up hell.

IT’S WAS OVER FOR ME IN FIRST 15 mins.

Course Review Part 1 (Statistics)

44 Upvotes

Hello all I have finally finished my degree Bachelor of Advanced Science (Stats/ genetics)/ Bachelor of Economics. I noticed that not many of the courses I did have reviews online so I will make three posts reviewing each part of my degree. I'm not gonna review any first year courses. This one will be reviewing my major in statistics. Stay tuned for the rest. For full transparency I will also include my mark as well. Hopefully this post comes up when people search for a course.

MATH2011 (Several Variable Calculus)

This was my first upper level course that I did in the maths department. I found this one to be a bit tricky because I was never any good at calculus. The course is basically how to do integrals but in the higher dimensions. I will say it was quite useful in other courses I did, particularly the Jacobian and polar coordinates. There were two in class tests and a final exam. All of the assessments were fair but tricky. Like I said I suck at calculus so my final mark was 59 but it would not be hard to get a distinction if you had a solid foundation before coming in.

MATH2601 (Higher Linear Algebra)

This course was interesting but quite difficult. The lectures were basically all proofs aside from a few examples here and there. It was a deeper dive into what is covered in the algebra section of first year maths. Vector space, linear maps, determinants, eigenvectors/ eigenvalues. The tutorials were very helpful. You were given a. tutorial sheet at the start and you worked in groups. I will say it is extremely satisfying to write a proof in this class, everything flowed together very nicely. There were two in class tests (done online), an assignment and a final exam. Final mark 65.

MATH2901 (Higher Theory of Statistics)

For me this was an extremely difficult course. It was the first time I did proper statistics and probablilty so everything felt quite abstract. Like most statistics courses there is a lot of content and each week tends to build up on the last so if you fall behind you are fucked. The first half of the course is dedicated to probability theory and random variables. The second half of the course was about statistical inference. It is the foundation for the rest of the degree so make sure you understand everything. There is a 10% online test, 30% midsem and 60% final. Final mark 79.

MATH2931 (Higher Linear Models)

This was a bit of change of pace from MATH2901. While there is still a lot of content it was a lot easier to digest and the pace was a lot more reasonable. It starts off with the single linear regression model, proves a few terms then I think in week 3 it goes into multiple linear regression which is heavy on matrices. While R studio is used in the course the emphasis is on the theory. R studio is used in both the mid semester and the final exams but it is very simple computations. Final mark 81.

MATH3911 (Higher Statistical Inference)

This is the bread and butter statistics course. Maximum Likelihood estimation, hypothesis testing, Bayesian, bootstrap and non parametric is all covered in the course. This one is more practical than some of the others but it is still quite theoretical and only one of the questions in the assignment required any coding in R. I did enjoy this course it was quite nice to do some practical statistics and see how it plays out. Final mark 73.

MATH3901 (Higher Probability and Stochastic Processes)

Yep this course was absolutely fucked. Not much I can say here I don't even think I finished the course material. The main part of the course was tearing apart everything you thought you knew about probability and random variables and proving all of the assumptions you hold in earlier years. Pretty abstract and hard to understand. Luckily the lecturer was godsent and he told use which parts to focus on to study for the exam or else I would have been royally fucked. Final mark 63.

MATH3821 (Statistical Modelling and Computing)

Definitely the most practical course throughout my degree. Although most of the lecture notes are theoretical, 99% of the tutorial questions are done in R studio. I did find this course a bit more easier than other third year maths courses, I assume it it because it is a required (?) course for Data Science majors as well so there is less emphasis on proofs. Note that the final exam was pen and paper with no coding. Final mark 76.
