The Official QMA Hate Thread (2 Viewers)

Vent your frustrations on QMA here...

I hate how right after the in-tute test, we have another quiz coming up!

I hate how lecturers skim through the course content, with no consideration for the fact that some people did 2U maths in the HSC, therefore are used to everything going slowly and step-by-step.

Really, that's about it, if only I could understand what my lecturer's saying...

WHAT?! :jaw:

 

[tommykins]

you're whinging about how lecturers do what they're supposed to do - lecture.

and how you have quizzes and exams.

 

[darkwolfzx]

everyone gets owned by qma, even my second year friends attempting it

 

[gwiz]

I also hate QMA. Why you might ask?
I don't even do it, but everyone bitches about it so freakin much
that i now hate it. QMA go kill yourself.

This man speaks the truth. Uni is not high school, nobody will hold your hand and ensure you get through.

I don't get the hate about QMA. Was probably one of the better courses i've taken.

I'ts pretty freaking easy. even if you only did 2u maths.

I hate it with every droplet of blood in my body! I only got 50% in the first tutorial test><
They should really slow down first yr uni, so people from high school can go through the transition more smoothly...sigh sigh sigh~~

uni is the lowest point in my life>< i wish i was born with superior intellect and ability to adjust to new environment.

Don't worry Chewy. I'm in 2nd year and I have to do QMA this year. I got credited for QMB instead of QMA... I'm in the same boat as you. I'm actually doing better in my 2nd year Accounting subject XD

It'll get better . Just takes some time transitioning into uni. I highly recommend you use your mid-sem break in doing ALL the tutorial, in-class and online questions, heck even attempt the past papers!! QMA is just HSC maths except taught at a faster pace. No one will ever spoon-feed you (however for law if you're lucky you will get spoon fed, depends on your lecturer).

I love how we're doing probability at the moment. QMB related topics for the win!

 

[08er]

ill be using the break to catch up on work and to start group assignments

 

[shinji]

lol group assignments.

I think i attached mine here a while ago.
probably still have mine.

 

[wrong_turn]

1st year is already a transition period :S

wait until you get to second year.

 

[kevinx2]

QMA is General Maths.

Wonderin, what is the fail rate for this course?

 

[Jago]

1st year is already a transition period :S

wait until you get to second year.

haha they dont even know the pain that awaits them in micro 2

 

[08er]

i think based on previous years the failure rate has been 30-40%?

 

[Justina]

My tutor said that it was about 50% a few years back, but they made it easier and now it's around 30%.
