QUOTE(River93 @ Jan 28 2012, 03:05 PM) I took Ausmat, applied to enter monash, they told me I need to get at least 59 marks for my English as additional dialect to skip IELTS, they will not see my GCE O-Lvl 1119 english score, unless I took A-levels. Is that true? cuz It's really dumb, I went there 3 weeks ago to submit my Ausmat's result and Spm result and a copy of my IC. Interestingly, the lady didn't told me about taking IELTS, but just now I went to there again, to pay the fees (finance closed), so I asked them about the mail I received, they need a certified copy of my language proficiency test, and told me If I get below 59 for my EALD, i need to take IELTS. Anyone know about it? yup cause 1119 is actually not acceptable for tertiary level...u would require IELTS or equivalent ones (maybe MUET)... |

QUOTE(secondrate @ Feb 21 2012, 10:08 PM) Oh LOL OOPS young guy spiky hair wit the sweater lol... Which one was you? I was in the front half somewhere. Got scared by the BCS powerpoints  Sigh wonder how to concentrate on studying and work hard while adapting to life in Clayton, if I get to go on exchange next year.Er, WES still won't let me do anything. According to my friend in School of Arts, also same for her. But the IT problem more geram because we kena kick from ITS to IT Course Management to Student Services and still no resolution. The comps in the lab also won't let certain people sign in. That learning skills talk was really painful. I could see people playing Temple Run in Audi 1 worst part was my laptop wouldn't connect to the internet so I had to use my phone to Facebook. Carried a 2kg deadweight around the whole day for nothing like that.do u have any programming or IT background? cause i was from a pure science background and i survived BCS lolx... anyways the basic thing i learn about BCS core (Comp Science, Algo and Data Structures and the 3rd year unit which i forgotten the name) is that pay attention to understanding instead of memorizing... i usually dont write notes during lecture and jz focus on trying to understand lolx... the moment u understand how things are modeled and process, everything becomes much easier... i can help u if u have any question on those units (though i dun remember tat well anymore haha)... not sure what's wrong, maybe the system crash did roll back everything... try it tomorrow and see cause i am involved with the orientation stuffs at all since i am on the research side... |

QUOTE(secondrate @ Feb 21 2012, 11:15 PM) Haha, alright, we'll see how it goes. I don't remember seeing you because honestly la the whole day seeing all the new places and all the new faces, I felt so lost by the end. The campus is quite small (well compared to the Australian ones like Clayton) but everything is connected. I'm lucky I found Room 9303 at all. got the email around 6am that the system been restored =pActually I was having problems doing it since yesterday but I thought it was because I was supposed to do it with the rest of the school. |

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 |

QUOTE(melvin471 @ Feb 24 2012, 10:59 AM) Oh okay. nope... Besides that, I want to know if BCS is hardcore programming all the way?and is the coursework mark 50% assignment 50% exams? monash dun really stress about programming... more to concepts and paradigm... the programming part is more as a tool only... for example, some assignment you can use any programming language you want just as long as you meet the requirements =p as for assessments, it all depends on which unit u are taking... i nvr had any 50/50 units when i was there... mostly 60/40 and 70/30 with the exams having higher weights... and u need to pass both ur exams n assignments else it is still a fail... |
