[Nick_K]

MATH2968 Algebra - 86
MATH1905 Stats - 83
COSC1902 Computational Science in C - 90
PHYS1902 - 81

For BSc do I need 12CP in maths or 12 junior CP in maths?

12cp junior.

 

[Riproot]

12cp junior.

FML

I guess I'll do 1015 or 1004. Ugh.

I guess I'll do 1015 or 1004. Ugh.

Actually sorry Riproot I think I was wrong : "a minimum of 12 credit points from the Science subject areas of Mathematics and Statistics"

[westwing]

anyone elses psyc1002 say incomplete?

 

[Nick_K]

Nice results there Obvious! Yeah I'm a first year.

Coolios. I'm not fucking doing stats ever again then. DDDD

All my friends have their psych marks back. :/

 

[Obvious]

Likewise, I hear that MATH2968 is a killer.

 

[Nick_K]

It's the hardest subject I've done, but the content is really interesting so it's much easier to be motivated to study. Stats on the other hand can destroy you through sheer boredom.

I hear that!

Going to classes probably would've helped though, I guess.

Haha, I had a feeling I was going to have the last laugh.

I wouldn't know lol although I don't see how it would, given the couple of lectures I saw by Omerod.

(should've fucking done reg maths and discrete. Fml)

Yeah, I guess but I think I would've maybe gotten higher than 36. lol

I assumed I would be fine.
Probs should've studied for the final too.
~whoops~

 

[Obvious]

MBLG1001 Molecular Biology and Genetics (Intro) - 67.0 Credit
PHYS1003 Physics 1 (Technological) - 62.0 Pass
PSYC1002 Psychology 1002 - 76.0 Distinction

I was thinking I was going to do much worse in physics, and my WAM dropped by 0.9, but at least it's over.

Pic related.

(should've fucking done reg maths and discrete. Fml)

Hehehe. You can still do MATH2*69 with me next year.

 

[Riproot]

Don't say that!

Hehehe. You can still do MATH2*69 with me next year.

I'm not sure if I wanna do that though. :/
I think I'm going to swap into BSc(Adv)/BA and then do MATH2961 and 2965 next year or something. No idea.

Also, I'm totes posting my results when I get Chem Engg back so people can laugh. lol

I'll see you in both if I can keep my resolve, lol. But try out discrete if you're at a loss with what to do.

 

[Riproot]

I think I'm more thinking:

BMedSc units (36CP) + BIOL1911 + PSYC1002
OR
PCOL2011+2012 + BIOL1X03 + ANAT2010 + MATH2961+2965 + PHSI2005 (because you need a 75 WAM to do advanced. ) + PHIL1002 (or something easy)

But for PHSI it says "The completion of MBLG2001, 2101 or 2901 is highly recommended, as well as MATH1015 or MATH1005 for progression to Senior Physiology." FUCK!

 

[Nick_K]

I think MATH2961 is a really good idea, because the content kind of completes the calculus sequence, and it will give you a good idea of whether you want to be doing further maths. Plus, it's pretty crucial for both pure and applied.

Yeah, I'm deffs doing 2961 if I keep doing maths, but I don't know whether I want to keep doing maths. I did so terribly in 1903 that I don't think I should do maths anymore. :/

What part of 1903 did you find bad? If it was the ODEs section, to me that was mostly just rote learning the solutions and I don't think that's really indicative of how well you will do in upper division maths, it's more a function of how much effort you put in. On the integration side, that had more substance but even then they still didn't even mention least upper bounds and most of the exam boiled down to rote learnt methods. I wouldn't base the decision of 1903.
