    2013 sem 1 timetable

    This is my timetable. I have to go through a placement test to see if I can enter Intermediate Japanese A, but since I studied Japanese before coming here for around 6 years or so, I should be able to easily enter the course. (I hope so, anyway. Or I'll happily enter the introductory courses... 8'D)

    FINS1613 - Quiz 4

    Consultations won't do a thing because most people don't go to them. They do, however, attend PASS classes. And yeah, that's one thing that I hate about the textbook. Never really goes into depth, but then we're tested on depth. =/ When did you take the course? Week 2 was taught to us by a...

    FINS1613 - Quiz 4

    Ah, that's good to know. (That they do put up the participation marks, I mean.) I didn't initially have so much hatred for this subject. In fact, I was looking forward to it! I knew that there would be a fair amount of Maths, but I was pretty sure that a couple of hours of practice would fix my...

    FINS1613 - Quiz 4

    I'm regretting choosing Finance (or more specifically, FINS1613) as well. I wish that I had dropped it when I had the chance, but my stubborn pride got in the way. I'm never letting it get in the way again. I'm clearly not a Finance major - Maths is my weak point and I hate formulas. It takes me...

    FINS1613 - Quiz 4

    Hush. If you're getting good grades in Actuarial and you find it interesting, that's what counts. Ignore the "Finance should be easy peasy for Actuarial students" crap. This course just sucks, period. It's not your fault. Not entirely anyway. =/ Definitely worse than Accounting. I'm sticking to...

    FINS1613 - Quiz 4

    First off, I just took the quiz, so what I can tell you is that you WILL need to work stuff out, so know how to use those formulas well. Secondly, if you're planning on going for a Finance major, you'll need to take this course again. Otherwise, don't worry, you'll never need to take it again...

    You guys, don't! You'll give all those high achievers ideas.

    FINS1613 - Quiz 4

    ...well, fudge. Looks like I'll either be failing or passing this course, depending on how I do in the quiz. But you know what, I can't be bothered to care anymore. If I pass, life's great. If I fail, life will move on and I'll move on. It's a flexible core course, so it's not the end of the...

    FINS1613 - Quiz 4

    Er, only three questions? Multiple choice or short answer...?

    FINS1613 - Quiz 4

    I'm scared for the quiz now. How many questions were there?

    Who took korean 1A? and who here is taking korean 1A next year 1st sem?

    Oh wow. Instead of answering his question, as soon as you see the words "Arts" and "degree", you immediately spout off an insult. How helpful. I'm not going to get into the whole debate about whether an Arts degree is worth it or not, but I will say this: At least have the respect to properly...

    Well then, just wish me luck. I'm studying like heck for the final quiz so that I can pass this course.

    UNSW Subject Reviews.

    If I get less than 7.5/10 for the quiz next Wednesday, I'm failing the course. I'm doing that badly at it. Fuck this course, I'm doing another flexi-core. >__>;

    Chemical attack at UNSW

    I actually saw the ambulance(s?) go by last night and didn't give it a second thought. What a coincidence that it happened on the Oktoberfest night, even if both of them weren't drunk...

    UNSW Subject Reviews.

    Yup. For a course like this, there should definitely be quite a bit of support. PASS classes and all that. But there's none. Which makes this course even more crappy. Never taking it again.

    UNSW Subject Reviews.

    Ooh, my first review! Thanks for reminding me to write my review. ;) MGMT1001 (Managing Organisations & People) Ease: 7/10. It's easy to learn the content. But I didn't give this too high marks because the assignments can't be done with ease. The first assignment screws everyone over...

    ECON1102 (Macroeconomics) summer course?

    Actually, I don't know what will happen to the group work and quizzes. I've tried sending an email to the course coordinator about it, but for some reason, I haven't received a reply yet. In fact, I'm wondering if my Zmail is dead, because I haven't received messages from anyone on it. And I...

    ECON1102 (Macroeconomics) summer course?

    Haha, I hope I'll do well in Accounting. If I end up liking the core subjects, I'll go ahead and pursue Accounting as my major. ;) I don't think it's too difficult either. It basically goes through stuff that I learned in my Grade 12 Statistics class. The problem is that I was never really good...

    ECON1102 (Macroeconomics) summer course?

    Eh, then I'll be fine. Yes, GAAPs are a pain in the ass, but I've already done some GAAPs in HSC, so I'll be alright. *shrug* By the way, all this accounting talk is making me remember that 9-stage accounting cycle. And all those liquidity formulas and whatnot.
