Please join if you can, we need more people laugh.gif


Added on February 22, 2012, 10:58 pmMy Allocate+ timetable hasn't been updated with the auto-allocate lectures yet. I hope that means they aren't finalized because I really hate the timing sad.gif

BCS have around 17-18 students this sem if i am nt mistaken...
it is quite a good number cause it is rare to get BCS students in most uni since honestly, it isn't an easy course lol...
this sem was much better than when i was taking BCS back then lol...
we had like just 10+ and quite a number of them swap to BITS after going through FIT1008 lolx

I am missing a tutorial for FIT1029 and lectures and tutorials for MAT1830. I was missing the lectures for FIT1002 and FIT1012 but they magically appeared today hmm.gif

math would be hard later on...
for comp science, u are technically floating in math n logic...
everything can be explained and modeled as a set of functions/ equations...
and most of the time, our math dun have numbers in it...

programming i have answered in the pm =p

LOL, I'm the type of person who is very lazy to practice math. If I practiced my math, I could get >85% for calculus in pre-u, if I didn't, sure <60% laugh.gif

But I like logic and application, just too bad my chemistry is very bad and I didn't understand physics in pre-u otherwise I might be doing engineering now rclxub.gif

math 1 = something like pre-u math
math 2 = more to the logical math side where u rarely see any numbers... will be the basic for u in most core comp science units later on as it would be expanded aso
programming here is different since it is use as a means to learn about concepts and paradigms...
most units allow u to code in any language u want even...
and its all bout practice for programming...
doing ur labs by urself is almsot a guarantee pass if u can do it urself =p
i love physics...
at times i wonder why didnt i take engineering lolx...
but then again i always wanted to do computing since high school...
that's IT, not comp science...
comp science is actually kinda deep which is why it is the top 10 well paid major in the world =p
*
At least I can chill a bit for math 1, pre-u math wasn't too bad.

I used to like and be good at physics, then something happened in pre-u, maybe bad lecturer or lack of practice or what because physics was my lowest grade in pre-u (74% shakehead.gif)

Good to know comp science students are in demand. I like the variety of jobs we can do as a comp science graduate.

Eh bro, my timetable won't allocate my math lecture. It says auto-allocated but the orange block doesn't appear on the timetable and I can't select either of the 3 options available. Same thing for another unit, I forgot comp lab or tutorial. Getting a bit worried here.

Also, my Mondays start from 9am to 2pm straight. I will die of cold and hunger long before then sad.gif

hey, anybody have any idea where i can get a photocopy of the  subject syllabus/ course outline/ teaching planner certified  and
endorsed by an authorized officer in your former college/ university for the LAN sujects?

do i just get it from taylors where i did LAN(ages ago, nfi if the syallbus changed or if it makes a difference at all tongue.gif ) or is it somewhere online and i just gotta get it signed by the admin at taylors?

Thanks in advance. smile.gif

For Subang Jaya campus you can get it from the CPU programme office on level 1 of the Wisma Subang Jaya building. My friend from SAM managed to get it from there. Bring a photocopy of your LAN transcript and have them certify it then bring the syllabus, transcript and photocopied SPM cert to the LAN office on level 1 building 2. Monash can certify the SPM cert for you.

Depends.. if ur stats is strong, then learn to write fast to the point that, for me, "running out of time in an exam is NOT an excuse". .cos ETW1000 is 2hrs exam n 7-8Q (IIRC). ETW1102 3hrs, more than enough time to REDO the whole thing for fun.

If u take 1000, try out faster pens e.g. Pilot G-tec/Hi-tec..get the 0.5 rather than 0.4, less prone to jamming. It is a very clinical, sterile thin line, but still gets the job done and won't hurt cos very little pressure is required to write.. hence, you can write more and finish early/on time. Its also like a Ferrari - have to manja it (ie. DO NOT DROP AT ALL COSTS), u treat it well, it will certainly treat u well. Case in point: I managed to salvage a question in company law 2213..4Q.. answered 1Q wrong, then realised it, then did a double-time rescue.. k lah, din manage to copy everything but still gotten like 3.7 out of 4Q answered. biggrin.gif result: Distinction.
*

What about ECW 1101? Know anything? I have no choice but to take it as I couldn't take the arts subjects except Journalism 1 (ick!!). PSY1101 Psychology 1A clashed as well and I was looking forward to that subject! Ah well, always next year... I still hope I can take FIT 1012 as I want to do the Flash unit. Maybe during the summer?

Bad experience today. Waited more than half an hour outside for the shuttle bus, got to Pyramid and had lunch around 3.30pm. Then when me and my friend walked to Sunway Hotel at 4.15pm, we saw the bus and ran to it but just so happen the driver was on break and would be back at 5pm. Since I live in PJ and my friend lives in Klang, we didn't want to be caught in the jam and decided to walk via the canopy walk to Sunway U and from there go to Monash. At Monash we still had to walk to the western car park. Ugh, met my walking quota for the week already!

first day sucked, arrive 8.30.. no more free parking spots sad.gif
gonna be damn pissed if i dont get one tmrw, 8 am class so gonna arrive super early XD

When you come back, got parking meh? I would love to drive everywhere! Just scared no parking so I have to use my two kaki.

I haven't done economics before. Luckily I have a smart friend taking the same subject!

I arrived around 8.15 today and had to park quite far away. Walking to campus isn't a problem but walking back after a long tiring day is horrible. My 8am class vanished when I dropped FIT 1012 laugh.gif

Hows your first class in bachelor of comp science? i received an offer letter already. but still thinking.

Monday was algorithms lecture, great so far. Very interesting way of mixing maths and logic to solve problems and the lecturer is a friendly British guy who got lost sweat.gif

Today was discrete maths. I always found math rather boring by itself and the lecturer is very Asian. Since no tutorial for math today I ended up having to chill for 6 hours before my next class.

Last class of the day was computer programming lecture. I'm so glad I took computer science class in pre-u because Java looks quite similar to what I learnt there so I was able to understand everything and recap a bit. The lecturer though made the class enjoyable. Very quirky.

im assuming you have alvin for econs? should be fun, good lecturer, a lil strange sometimes.

sweat.gif some Myvi and Kelisa illegally parked and an X-trail had to squeeze through the gap. Pity drivers of big cars. I went to Pyramid and came back around 2pm and got a decent parking lot. The walk isn't too bad but whenever they finish constructing whatever they are doing where the bridge used to be is the day I'll be very happy.

Er, no idea actually sweat.gif .

Are you talking about Microeconomics? If so, I mati already. Have tutorial and lecture today (Wednesday) but really takut I don't know anything because I've been science student since F4 and never touched econs in my life. Unfortunately I have to take it.

Btw yeah, im selling

ECW1101 Text Book - Principles of Mircoeconomics, Mankiw
AFW1000 Textbook - That green 'n' blue cover one, forgot title. its in the car.
Along with the MGW1010 Textbook - 5th Edition. Green Cover.

Textbook still in good condition, maybe a few highlighted sections.

Can PM me for details smile.gif

I was in the book store buying my programming book and decided to pick up the Mankiw only version of the ECW1101 book. I wonder what the advantages are of buying the more expensive version of that book?

I was a pure science student as well. But I took accounts in my foundation year.
Microeconomics is the basic of the basics. Since it's a core subject, they will teach you from the beginning as if you don't know a single thing about economics. I've never know what economics was all about but this subject wasn't that hard. You just have to understand the concept, draw the graphs and you'll be fine. wink.gif

I was a bit blur during the lecture. The doctor just went super fast and covered 3 chapters in a flash!

btw: what are the lecturer's name for ur subjects?

Decided to buy it and I was reading it in the library. What I read is in the same order as my first lecture so I feel it will help a lot. It is also pretty interesting.

FIT 1029 - Dr Simon Egerton
FIT 1002 - Mylini Munasamy (lecture), Radi Jarrar (or something like that for tutorials)
MAT 1830 - Dr Foo Lee-Kien
ECW 1101 - Dr Poon (dunno the rest), Sharon Koh
