This course puzzles me. Its heaps interesting and stuff, although I find it really hard. Just want to ask people who have and are doing it, how the hell is everyone (ie more then say 80% of the people) going to pass?!
The averages for the mid sessions were 51% and 58%, which leaves a considerable amount of people who are going to fail. With that said I need a ridiculous score (say like 70%) just to pass the course before the final. The final is multiple choice, yes, but how is it going to be easy?
So my question is, will it get scaled? Surely not that many people are going to fail it......its fucked up.

what shinji meant is...get out of uni and into a degree first.

scaling in uni is a lot different to the hsc. so ask when your time comes.
