“Let’s just say the exam mean was 33.7/100 and the high was 82.” Prior to the start of second year – I, like any other prospective Part 2 Civil student – braced myself for a five-paper semester (if this is the first post you’re reading from me, I actually am taking six papers in my…Continue Reading Pre-semester jitters 😬 and why Civil | #2
Happy accident or not, you’ve stumbled across my blog page. Welcome! I’m Cailey, and as of this time in writing I am a second year Civil Engineering student doing a conjoint degree with Arts (I major in Japanese – for all those who are curious!) Hopefully through my future posts you are able to get…Continue Reading Q&A TAG – who runs the 2019 Civil blog ❓🤔 | #1
So, we are done! As of this blog, we are a few weeks removed from exams, and I hope you all are enjoying a well-deserved break. It’s a huge accomplishment to finish your first year of uni, so savour the moment and enjoy the freedom! Being the end of the year, this will…Continue Reading Well… That Just Happened
Hey again! Hopefully you guys are doing well and not feeling too burned out with the semester starting to wrap up. Luckily you would have experienced a university exam schedule (well most of you) by now, although I have heard this semester’s timetable is unusually rough! Just make sure to keep on the grind and…Continue Reading Structures Day and Others, a Late-Sem Ramble
Rightio, the mid-semester break is already past us huh. It’s pretty ludicrous how fast the semester is going by. With only a mere couple months before the summer break, we are on the home straight. Hopefully the remaining pile of tests and assignments will go by somewhat quickly and painlessly! Seeing as my first…Continue Reading How about a Proper Blog Post!
Hi again everyone! How is it week 4 of sem 2 already? Kind of crazy how each week seems to fly by quicker than the last. I’ll definitely take it though if it means we are getting closer to a summer break. This new semester has already been quite the experience, with new classes and…Continue Reading Semester 1 Summary
Hey everyone! My name is Anton, and I am a Part II Civil and Environmental Engineering student. Hopefully I’ll be able to give a fairly good representation of the whirlwind that is Part II Civil and perhaps even provide some cheeky tips on how to survive the year. Unlike other specialisations, Civil has the vaunted…Continue Reading The Whirlwind
I honestly can’t believe that this year is almost over, and it’s nearly time for you to choose your specialisations for next year. It doesn’t seem like that long ago when I was in your position trying to toss up the pros and cons of a few of my favourite papers from the year. I’m…Continue Reading What a Year It’s Been
This post is a little bit of an intro to the Semester 2 civil papers. I recommend reading my post on the Semester 1 papers (Did You Know Civil Has Five Papers?) before reading this as lots of the Semester 2 papers follow on from Semester 1. CIVIL 211: Structures and Design 1 –…Continue Reading Civil Still Has Five Papers
Welcome to ENGGEN 299, the compulsory workshop practical course all second years are required to complete before starting part III. The university website isn’t very helpful for figuring out what this course involves; when I checked it only really mentioned welding. Although the workshop course isn’t civil specific, I would’ve loved to know more about…Continue Reading Since When Did I Need to Know How to Weld?
