Dude. Entire point is to laugh at Psy for acting silly. No? And then a whole bunch of people act like Psy in parodies of Gangnam Style so that they can get laughed at too. The cycle continues.

Awesome for you. 8D (Again, not sarcasm. Seriously mean it. People getting full marks for FINS1613 are awesome.)

Friend actually took a picture of the car. I was shocked. ;(

Since both of you are saying similar things, I'm grouping my answers for both of you together. Sorry 'bout that. ;( Now... where to begin? I guess I'll start with the lectures. I stopped attending them, yes, but it wasn't just because I was confused. As you (wantingtoknow) said, nobody comes...

That's the average. I'm getting below the average. That's why I think I'm going to fail. Don't know about the others. 8'D

Actually, I should take some bridging Maths courses, just to solidify my understanding of Maths, but that costs extra money, so I'm not going to bother. As for the conceptual issues thing, in Finance, it's mainly my Maths abilities that get in the way. Give me a formula that looks complicated...

Awesome for them. 8'D (And no, this is not sarcasm. It's more of a "damn, wish I were them" type of thing.)

Agree. I'm surprised too. You sure those figures are correct? Like I said in my earlier post, from talking with friends and friends of friends, that doesn't appear to be the case. At least, not for FINS1613 this semester.

You're an Econ major and you do Geology. Not sure how much Maths is in Geology, but I know that Economics requires quite a bit of Maths at the higher levels and the concepts get trickier to wrap your head around at the higher levels. It's kind of a "no wonder" thing that you find FINS1613 easy...

Ah, so glad I chose UNSW. Now my Hong Kong friends be jelly.

No idea where you're getting those figures. All the people I've spoken to about the Finance course I'm taking now (FINS1613) said that they're getting crap marks on all of their quizzes and that they're struggling just to pass the course. =/

Totally agree. They're either freaks of nature, they love calculating stuff, or they've simply done other Finance courses before and know all the theory behind FINS1613. Which means that they all they have to do is learn how to use formulas. Lucky b*stards.

Let's hope so. I basically stuffed up my tutorials, so I really need good exam marks to pass this course. *sweatdrop* But seriously. This announcement made me so happy, I wanted to cry. Now maybe, maybe I'll pass this course! *tears of joy*

Ooh, Spanish! I remember learning Spanish at a night school back in my home country when I was around 9 years old or so. The funny thing was, everyone around me was at least 16 years old. (Cue awkwardness.) I did pretty alright, though I had a really short attention span because I was so young...

...maybe that's because they're used to reading crap abstract journal articles and writing pretty good essays? I'm not saying that you're wrong. I'm just saying that you should change your wording a bit or go slightly deeper in depth with the issue. MGMT1001 is, indeed, the one course where...

The more examples of journal entries, the better!

I'd say that a language is pretty useful though. And introductory courses are usually a piece of cake for languages, or so I've heard. Friend of mine took Korean 1A, learnt how to read Korean after two weeks. And in Japanese 1A, from what I heard, you just learn hiragana and katakana and, at...

I'd say go for a WAM booster, but that's just me. If you're interested in languages, you could try that out? An easy WAM booster if you like the language that you're studying.

I have a Japanese name. And a Japanese passport. With those two things, they wouldn't even allow me through the tutorial doors without demanding to test my proficiency. I could lie. But then they'd be suspicious of me if I got HDs in everything. Also, Intermediate Japanese is still kind of...

I think that if I did Business Statistics first, yes, the equations would've been more straight forward and easier to digest. At the same time though, I probably would've murdered myself, just because I'm really, really not a Maths person. Starting off my first semester in university and my...
