Re: UNSW Chit Chat Thread 2015.

When we saying FINS1613 harder second semm... how much harder are we talking?
I can make a nice 2 day timetable with FINS, otherwise its 4.
Here's some info:

FINS1613 is better in SEM1 for the following reasons:

- Very good and engaging lecturer who loves to give extra marks for most quizzes, homework and the final exam
- Course is all MC and all the class quizzes are pretty straightforward so easy marks there
- If you can add, subtract, multiply and divide, the quantitative parts of the course should be very simple (70% of the course is quantitative anyways)
- Can be of slight help for ACTL1101 in SEM2
- Much easier to D/HD in SEM1 than SEM2

I heard FINS1613 in SEM2 is treated differently, since there is a different lecturer in charge and the assessments are not all MC q's i.e. includes short answer etc. and that the actual course tends to be harder since assessments are not as easy as SEM1.

econ1101? Lim is taking one of the lectures next semester, and I'm pretty sure his lectures get recorded.
