Hated how 1 question was worth 8 marks. Thank god its only worth 10%
Don't know if you will be able transfer to another class unless under exceptional circumstances, which seems unlikely since the tutorial runs at the exact same time
(and the fact that it is already way past T1 Enrolment Deadline which was Mar 8). After this date you don't really have the option of making changes to your timetable so I don't really think you can much about it as of now. Just self-study 1151, going through the yellow book and doing the problems required. If you don't, discuss with peers etc. and use PASS classes if you really need to get that help (but even PASS can be a bit dodgy since some tutors already forgot some of the content). Also, the School of Maths has generously offered first-year consultation hours, so if you find the right person, that can help a lot as well . Otherwise, since attendance doesn't actually count unless you fail the course, you could just rock up to the other class you wanted to go to and just go from there . Besides, who is your Algebra tutor for 1151?
For Calculus, I have Alex who is really good and is very approachable and seems to like me and knows his shit really well and does the Qs we want him to do and has an interesting accent. The Algebra class I want to move to has Alex as its tutor, which is like 50% of my reason to move. But the other 50% is that my current Algebra tutor (Mary) doesn't teach that well, only does the questions she wants to do (mostly the easy ones, not the hard ones we want clarification on), is really disengaging, is not that approachable and sometimes doesn't know what is going on in the scheme of things.Don't know if you will be able transfer to another class unless under exceptional circumstances, which seems unlikely since the tutorial runs at the exact same time
Speak to the course convener and express your concerns.
But course outline says "Students are able to change their tutorials, via myUNSW, until the end of week 1. After that time, they can only change their tutorials with the agreement of the Student Services Office, RC-3088. To change a tutorial you will need to provide proof of a timetable clash or work commitments."
They mark the roll and record attendance yes, but it is not like ASB courses where it is 80% compulsory attendance, and you automatically fail if you don't attend at least 80% of tutorials. For MATH courses, they don't really give a shit if your performance is up to standards, attendance only matters when they consider giving out Pass Conceded (PC) grades to students who pretty much failed finals. You can go the Alex tutor if you want to, but keep in mind that the rest of the class tests you will have to do in Mary's tutorial (since that is the one you are officially enrolled in). I don't think there is a valid enough reason now to make an official change since it will be unfair to other students etc (especially due to the fact the tutorials run at the same time). Don't worry if you skip lectures just for consultation, Kress and Dick aren't the only ones there, there are many others you can go to if you want help. Besides you can catch up on the lectures via the Echo360 recordings if you're patient enough to go through them.
You are thinking too logically. Just express your concerns and suggest a solution. You are speaking to a person, not a computer.
