Ethan’s University Experience – Commerce/Science

Sep 14, 2014

We interview Coach, Ethan Sommers, about his experience so far at USYD studying Commerce/Science.

1) What course/Uni?

Bachelor of Commerce/Science at the University of Sydney

2) What you like about your course so far?

I’ve enjoyed the way my subjects have gone into greater depth behind the topics that they teach. In particular, my mathematics subjects have tried to prove the things that they teach and give the reasoning behind concepts alongside attempting to give real life applications of the material. I’ve also liked the number of different subjects available in the course, which range from studying economics to studying mathematical modelling.

3) What you like about your Uni?

I like Sydney University because it is a relaxed learning environment with lots of interesting people.  Meeting other people in my course who have similar interests to me has been a highlight of my first semester and a bit at uni. I’ve also enjoyed joining clubs and societies such as the ski club as well as the History and French society and participating in these groups events.

What’s actually worse for your HSC grades than “not studying enough”? The small habits you ignore every day.
Late nights scrolling. No sleep routine. “I’ll do it later.” Studying without a plan. Multitasking with your phone next to you. These don’t feel like big problems, but they quietly destroy focus, memory, and exam performance.
At HSC Co-Works, we don’t just help students study harder. We help them build the habits that make studying actually work.
Better structure. Better focus. Better results.
If you’re serious about improving your HSC results, start fixing the small things first.

This is the mindset that turns a stressful HSC year into a transformed version of you.
While others avoid the tough tasks, you face them.
While others wait until “they feel ready,” you take action.
And when exams arrive, you’ll have something most don’t.
Every small effort today builds the habits and behaviours for your future.
