Haha I haven't yet thought about writing a report and submiting it for assessment. According to the admin person I'll need to hand in a 300-word summary before I get my last two weeks of pay, doesn't seem like a great deal. I may need to write a much more detailed report for Ben. That's alright, good warm-up for next year.

I think for third year students, these vacation scholarships are slightly less selective than TSP at Usyd. People with average in the lower 80's still have a reasonable chance. It's probably tougher for first and second years though.

How hard is it to get marks in the 90's for second and third year units compared to first year (for maths)?

hehe it's comparable to first year I would say. It may be a bit more difficult since smaller number of HDs are on offer due to small enrolments. But just slightly trickier at most.

Hmm, thanks for that.
