Review of Physics for Scientists and Engineers by Paul A. Tipler by
Keithg21
Advantages: Everything Is Included.
Disadvantages: This book is very heavy, could give you a strained back. Honest
...This is a golden compendium of in depth physics knowledge. It takes you from an all round understanding to a ground understanding of degree standard physics. It should stand as the foundation of any person who is studying Physics or even Engineering at university.
Just to clarify on realrobwriters review which was very much spot on… The Scope of the book is as follows.
1. Mechanics
Motion in one dimension
Motion in two or three dimensions
Newton’s Laws
Applications of Newton’s Laws
Work and Energy
Conservation Of Energy
Systems of Particles and Conservation of Momentum
Rotation
Conservation of Angular Momentum
Gravity
Static Equilibrium
Fluids
2. Oscillations and Waves
Oscillations
Wave Motion
Superposition and Standing Waves
Wave-Particle Duality and Quantum Physics
3. Thermodynamics
Temperature and the Kinetic Theory of Gases...

a tough course for passionate people
Review of Architecture by
demetrak
Advantages: RIBA 1, 2 exemption, freedom of expression, combined Masters degrees, safe campus, facilities, environment
Disadvantages: disorganized, location, distance from central London
...Architecture in general, is certainly one of the toughest and longest courses to study. If you don't have a passion for it, if you value your time more than your discipline, or if you are thinking about taking a degree in general without any special interest, then you should consider following a direction other than this.
I've been a student n East London University for the past 3 1/2 years. Therefore, I do belong in the "UEL Vilage" (as we informally call our small community), and I can easily give you my opinion about that.
Structure of course:
3 years ft Bsc honours & RIBA part1 exemption
+ one year out work experience (optional, but counts later for the part 3 qualification)
+2 years ft Diploma in Architecture
modules:
main design unit (main project)
supporting studies:
technical & environmental studies...

Review of Archaeology by

Advantages: Wide variety of material covered, interesting, lots of fieldtrips
Disadvantages: possible expense of uni tuition!
...and forensic aspects of my course. There are also audio materials and videos that can be rented out.
The library, and most of the campus, is wireless Internet enabled, and anyone can use it. For those without their own laptop/computer, there are plenty spread around the campus, including a 24-hour 'open access' centre that can be used by any Bournemouth student at any time.
There are also adequate printing and copying facilities spread around.
All students are provided with a university email address and can access their files saved on the system from any internet-ready computer.

Each student is assigned to a particular member of the Conservation Sciences staff, and can (supposedly) turn to them with any problems or issues with the course, or life in general. I only met my tutor once, on the introduction session, so I...
