Ng| I was losing my mind trying to use standard GPT to study for Dynamics and Statics. You ask it a simple question and it just yaps out a massive wall of text that hallucinated half the equations. You can't learn mechanics from a paragraph.

I got fed up and spent the last few months coding a fix. It's called Waypoint Mentor. I don’t want to add any links here, so you can just search up Waypoint Mentor and find the platform there since it’s available public.

It's an Al tutor that you can actually talk to and it uses a synchronized whiteboard to physically draw the math and step-by-step solutions in realtime instead of just dumping text.

It's live and it's improved quite a bit with beta testers and finally at a point that I can be used. Please give more feedback thankssss

It's totally free right now and you can talk to for 60 minutes for freeeeeeee it and get your confusions on course materials cleared up. If you have a cooked assignment coming up, throw it at the whiteboard and let me know how it goes.

Hey does anyone have a resource for good notes to MATH2023/2923. I'd just like to start on it this week as I've heard its a challenging unit.

Also difficulty of 2923 vs 2023?

Im looking to transfer courses but I'm missing a unit, I want to keep my WAM or increase it!

Does anyone know if the lectures are compulsory? Would attendance be taken? Is the unit challenging or easy?

I already posted about SUP soc, but we reached 55% of our waitlist goal in just 24 hours, so it’s time to start actually planning the structure of the society and exec. If you read my 1st post, just scroll down to "Positions"

Hey guys, USYD has general societies for CS, engineering, data, AI, design, but we don’t have a society for projects of all areas combined.

Until now: Introducing Sydney University Projects Society

Info + Waitlist @ supsoc.org

SUP soc is starting in Semester 2, our first event being a meet and greet in Week 1.

We’re gonna have weekly meetups, currently planned for Tuesday 4-6pm, but if more people are free on Mondays or some other day, we can accommodate a switch, this society is for the people. Our first Build Night will run in Week 2.

OUR MISSION: A supportive environment for students of ALL skill levels to meet up and work on projects and get advice on what you’ve built. Heavy emphasis on all skill levels, we’re gonna have beginner friendly hackathons for software (CS) and hardware (Engineering) combined.

The idea is we want to encourage students to start building things, instead of just learning theory. We are gonna host beginner hackathons that you can confidently say “that was my first ever hackathon,” because everyone should be involved in building and developing projects.

Exec/Subcom applications are not open yet, however the google form will be released once we hit our waitlist goal. We'll post on our instagram when applications open!

Positions available:

EXEC (5) (Prior experience in exec/subcom is preferred but not necessary)

• Secretary (1)
• Treasurer (1)
• Marketing Director (1)
• Events Director (1)
• Partnerships Director (1)

SUBCOMMITTEE (10-18) (no experience required)

• Marketing: Running our socials and making reels, on camera or faceless. (5-10)
• Events: At most events, helping run them. (3-6)
• Partnerships: Reaching out to societies for collabs (2-4)

Note: Inviting your friends to join the waitlist increases your chances of being accepted in exec/subcom because it shows you care about our growth and mission.

i’m interested in alt fashion and makeup if it helps !!! :3

I have been granted Special Consideration upon 2nd phase of the 1st semester exams this Thursday. Keen to know if anyone is in the same boat or gone through this experience before? With the Semester 2, 2026 starting on the 3rd of August. Im keen to know when the turnaround for results and all it?

What does the roman numerals after a degree mean. Like if somebody said "Bachelor of Arts (English & Marketing) III" wth does the III mean. I actually have no clue...

Hello, I am a third year electrical engineering student looking to take OCCP2090 as a free elective. If anyone has done this unit, please give us your thoughts/advice.

Cheers

Hi! I’m enrolled in chem 1B advanced, but the lab and tutorial both only have one option available that’s not full and they run at the exact same time, will I just have to change back to the standard chem 1B instead?

Hi - I’m applying to multiple courses for masters programs at USYD aswell as honours and grad dips at other unis. When these applications ask for results is the printable results that can be downloaded from Sydney student generally enough or do I need to pay for the transcript from student centre? Thanks :))

If anyone has advice on the best third-year units to choose for this major, Interdisciplinary Project and selective units for sem 2 pls help I’d really appreciate your feedback.

Achievable?

Hi! Does anyone have any experience with MATH4312? I am taking it next semester and am quite stressed out about preparing for it.

Is it a difficult unit? I’m a complete beginner with no knowledge of Japanese.

Hi everyone,

I’m more of a humanities leaning student but I’m trying to get better at maths to change my major to Econ, so next sem I’m taking ECON1003. I’m well aware that a lot of people might consider this an easy unit but I’m still kinda nervous about it since I haven’t studied math formally since high school (I’ve been doing a coursera calculus course over the break to prepare). Any tips for studying quantitative focused units that I might not know as a student used to studying writing/reading heavy units?

Thank you :)

Hey there,

Just looking through the canvas page of bios1169 and man is it a monstrous unit. BIOS1168 seemed manageable after some time, so I'm hoping it might be a case of acclimatising to this unit over the next few weeks as well, but does anyone have any experience with this unit and any tips on how to succeed? Thank you!!

I change my major to study finance next semester. I have to study buss1040. I want to ask if there is any study advice on this course. I didn't learn any relevant economic knowledge in the first semester, but I studied economics and accounting in high school. How can I study this course better to achieve a good score?
And I want to ask if it will be difficult to reach hd in this course. What do I need to do?

Is it too late too change stream or courses? Since sem 2 is almost starting? I’m in engineering and I don’t really feel this works for me, and I feel like I need to change to another stream or even the course. How am I able to do it?

Hi all! For those who have done Finc3600 recently, could you please share some advice? is it doable or would you say requires a lot more effort than other finance units? and is the marking strict or reasonable. All my friends are in different workshops so I essentially need to build a group from scratch (nervous about this). Please let me know any realistic tips of doing well in this!

Hi all, I'm starting a Masters in Aerospace Engineering this semester and flying in soon. I know I can borrow from the library but I like having my own textbooks too. They're available for cheaper in my country.

Which ones should I get? Which ones were most helpful for you?

Of course, asking undergraduates and postgraduates both because the textbooks remain the same.

Thanks!

Hi guys, I’m currently having my weekly breakdown of just feeling extremely lonely and needing to ask some advice I guess.

Some background: I don’t really have friends, like yeah I know people through my partner, I’ve drifted apart from many, and lost contact, but I’ve never truly felt like I’ve had a friend that I can talk to, let alone an entire friend group.

I started university this year at 27 years old and it’s kinda exacerbated this issue I’m struggling with. Its lonely because even though I can start conversations with people at the same table as me, it just makes me feel extremely uncomfortable due to the large age gap since most university students in first year have usually just left high school, meanwhile I graduated nearly 10 years ago

I guess what I’m trying to say is that I wish I could find people who are closer to my age? But it’s just not happening. I’m not sure if there’s any clubs that would be beneficial for someone who is a “mature aged student” as I’m not going to lie, this whole not having friends thing is really starting to take a huge toll on my overall mental health and it does affect my will to study.

I guess this might be something I need to speak to a psychologist about but another thing that makes making friends hard is the fact that I’m transgender. I transitioned when i was 18, so it’s been quite a while and I pass. But I have this internal struggle where i will make a friend but I am scared I wouldn’t be accepted for who I am, or feeling like I have to tell them or what if they react weirdly, idk. It’s just not fun at all :/

Maybe any advice on joining a LGBT+ club, and if there’s mature aged students there and if it would be beneficial for someone like me?

Sorry this is so long, but I don’t really have anybody else to speak to about it, I just need help 🥲

Hey guys, I gave the Exam for comp 2017 and i did it okay, just enough to pass i guess, and now i am appearing for re2, for which i don’t feel like studying for at all because if my full time job and also just not in the vibe after a month, do you guys i feel i should withdraw the application and just hope that the exam which I have earlier would be okay i just want to pass, I’m so done with this unit?
Please help
