Put our wiper war differneces aside for a moment but I need your help guys...

I am required to choose 30 credit points worth of 'any' subject in the entire uni this semester to complete my 2nd year requirement, and basically I have no idea where to start so if any of you guys could suggest a few subjects at 2nd year level 2nd semester that are either really damn easy, full of chics, or just interesting enough to keep me awake I would appreciate it.

too easy...

EST21ECC no final exam, 3 essays and 1 class per week that 2 hours long. That's it.

I'm doin MKT22MPP this semester, marketing subject, again a no brainer. But it has exams n shit.

I have a whole heap of CBF subjects all second yr as well coz I have 2nd yr electives to do... We should meet up and scour the course guide books.

Nursing/behavioural science is always full of chicks :rolleyes: or basically any subject that is held in the George Singer Building.

A mate last semester was in the same situation and did some arts subject (I'll find out the code) that required 1 2hr lecture and 1 2000 word essay. Also, the penalty for handing in late is 2% per day!! You could hand it in almost a month late and still pass... Its just not right... No wonder an Arts degree will only qualify people for the dole.

I got credit for COM, :) even better

I'll have a look into MPP Shan, right now im looking at HIS22NGE "Nazi Germany and the Invasion of Europe" haha sounds like fun. It got an exam though, but only 20% man I can't get over how some of these subjects can be worth 20points compared to the hard as CSE stuff thats only 10!

Do they have a 'Life Drawing' subject here? you know the one i mean, haha :D

I started in '99 so not all of the subjects are the same now. I haven't done ODE - have done all of the other electives listed though. CSS is a new subject on me, I think MAL would probably be the equivalent that I did.

I found AI quite interesting. Its basically lisp programming which is completely different from most other languages -- i think they actually use 'scheme'. Its really cool actually but most people at the time didn't like it :)

Some examples here if your curious: http://grimpeur.tamu.edu/~colin/lp/

EDIT: MAL was a bit of a ball breaker if you haven't done assembly before.. :D

Oh and I am CompSci too.. started off doing CSE in the beginning but the 3hr electronic labs were too much like torture to me :)

AI was a piece of piss.

MAL is a dirty, dirty 2c smack whore. God I hated MAL!

ODE is pretty easy. All you have to remember is that its not a programming subject, its a software development subject. When doing the assignment, heaps of people put together some awesome programs but still failed coz they left out the design side. Designing software on paper is easy coz its really just a measure of common sense.

AI was mad because I already knew how to program in Haskell, so that made functional programming dead easy.

Today I went to my first Film Appreciation class, where we watched gladiator and then discussed it for half an hour... hehe... major assessments.... an essay... prereq's... NONE... 2nd yr subject

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
