i was from CS from 2007-2009...
u dun need graphic calculators but it do help for some math problems...
then again, u can do all with normal calculators =p

are u gonna be in the first year?
can see u around uni since i am a staff/ phd student there atm

nope. not needed as far as i know.

You need to go back to Taylors and get the syllabus from your LAN subjects head of department.

Yeah you will be briefed about it. If you still don't understand then ask here again la

On another note, if you are free, just drop by Monash to ask about how to get exemptions. Their office are at Building 2 level 2. Can just ask the receptionist. Now still not much people and you can get your exemption quite fast and can fix any problems if there are hiccups. Once orientation is over there will be many people applying so if you are free better get it done first.

by right you should be able to. Btw monash students, you can start collecting your vouchers now, got mine today

just head to te finance counter.

doesn't each school have their own talk? better go cos they let you know the subjects you should be doing for your first sem(if you don't know already).

lol, then no need lor since you know what subject to do, they'll probably have another course info sesson during orientation.

Didn't go for mine anyway

yeah, its a hari sukan kinda thing, go if u  dont know anyone in your course, rly sucks not knowing anyone in your course

yeah, the business population in monash is scary >.<

I'm probably going with my roommate. It's really boring without a car so any opportunity to get out of the residence is a plus.

Orientation had useful information. The refreshments were slightly better for the international student briefing than the lunch we had.

Oh don't forget there's 50% off for all frappes at Starbucks from 6-8pm up till the 29th!

any1 jz joined the school of IT this year?

were u in the orientation today? cause i was there lolx...

anyways, WES (and most of the) systems were down...
i think it is back up now right? it was up b4 i left uni...
and usually first sem, they enrolled it for u right?

i am a staff there =p
was standing behind >.<

oh the enrollment questionnaire...
is it up now?
else jz try tomorrow cause the system crashed today =.="

So yeah, just bring your laptop in case, if anything, it's a distraction if the briefing is boring like the learning skill guys talk today...

young guy spiky hair wit the sweater lol...
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...
