MATH1251 was much more difficult than past papers. That modelling question.. wtf.
ECON1102 was surprisingly ok. Nothing difficult in it
ACTL1122 was out of trend with the previous style of exams. Usually it's filled with questions that make you freak out, but this time, I think I passed haha.

MATH2931. holy fuck.

I might be doing that next sem... Crap..

oh crap, damn. :S

I think for ACTL1122 he made it easier because he probably thought that setting hard exams wasn't worthwhile, imo. Brian has more experience in teaching now. I remember doing ACTL1001 last year 2nd sem and the exam was hard as fuck.

But yeah, you have to take MATH2931 for ACTL part 1 exemptions if you don't want to take ACTL2002/2131. You also need it for the statistics major, if you're planning to take it.

I heard he forgot to give you guys a standard normal table or something? LOL

Yeah I'm thinking of the statistics major, not 100% sure yet as idk what to expect.

"Help I'm going to fail the quiz, nek minnut 10/10".

The thing with Discrete is we "briefly" touch on each topics. Judging by the examination papers, it doesn't look like it's examined in that much depth.

Nah that was the year above ours, Brian Chu didnt proofread our paper and there were mistakes in just about every 2nd question which made them impossible to do

Quite happy with MATH2501. Surprisingly not too bad after all, thought it would be harder.

Now for my final one tomorrow, PTRL1010.

 

[nightweaver066]

MATH1081 was easier than past papers woooooo

 

[michaeljennings]

Anyone sitting 2624 tomorrow?

 

[4025808]

PTRL1010 done. Some questions were trivial though, apart from that, pretty decent exam.

Maths marks were released on Thursday.

How did everyone go in their maths subjects?

 

[nightweaver066]

Surprised by both my marks. Especially MATH1251 seeing as I made lots of silly mistakes and even accidentally skipped a sub-part lol
How'd you go?

Surprised as well, thought I got pass conceeded for 2931 but then i actually just scrapped a credit

2501 was quite decent though, but it scaled down. nevertheless got a D for it (Y)

 

[wilsondw]

^One question, would MATH1231 scale down since there are higher versions like 1241 and 1251?

^One question, would MATH1231 scale down since there are higher versions like 1241 and 1251?

It depends on MATH1241 as well. If MATH1241 scales down then there is a high chance that MATH1231 will scale down as well.

MATH1251 is not scaled with 1241 and 1231 however, it is a separate stream.
