anyone done stat270 or accg350?

How come stat270 in semester 1 has 3 hours of lectures but only 2 hours in semester 2?

BUSL250
ECON141
ACCG253
ACST201
ECON201

I've heard that 253 and macro are pretty hard...250 is filled with fobs who may push me into a slightly better grade...and 141 is like stat170. Does anyone else know a bit more about all this?

Im still deciding whether to do BUSL250...I ultimately want to do an AppFin/LLB degree but I may be restricted to BCom/LLB so im not sure if iit's worthwhile...

stat270 isnt too hard. although beware of being too confident of your final mark. i thought i almost nailed the paper and got an avg credit.


econ141, do it. a slight jump from stat170. but again not overly difficult. same with acst201. very doable.

infact those 3 subject were my electives last semester. they are very much D'able.

Did you or any other history students fill in a survey form? Is he just supposed to guess?

Busl250, it's a good one. Very easy to score.
It was open book exam last semester, plus we've been very clearly told which chapters will be examined and even better, sample questions and answers during the last lecture.

I haven't attended more than 5 lectures ( wk 2,9,10,11,12 are necessary) and that's it! Read the 4-5 chapters that will be in, read the sample questions and answers and you're DONE!

anyone done DEM127 before?

chose to do that instead of STAT170 and STAT171.. is this a good choice?

Also, I need an additional COMP or ISYS unit.. any suggestions?

It fits better.. ISYS123 clashes with my PSY104 if i do Daytime..............

115 means you'll actually have to learn how to code though

yep, def isys123 over comp115.

Stat170's easier than dem127 i reckon. Haven't done dem127, but i dl the stuffs off e-reserve when I was considering it. I've attached it, it seems to be a very annoying subject, have a look. :S Do a search, somebody said it was easy though...Redrum said he'll be doing it sem 1 !!

I've already deleted my stat170 stuffs, as far as i remember it was easy!

CieL do not touch stat171...do stat170...

and if isys123 is clashing with psych, maybe consider doing isys in second semester...

omg! no wonder my timetable was loaded!

i thought i had to do stat170 AND stat171 hahhaha thanks for making me realise i only have to choose one..

whoa.. i didnt even understand the DEM127 PDF.. all i saw were the words calculate the death rate.. calculate the crude death of Koreans.. like wtf? lol

well.. i've done my timetable by hand on random paper.. now i look at the timetable paper they gave us.. and first semester only has 4 boxes to fill whereas i need 5 =.= dodgy
