I'll probably go to the 2nd year lectures, and I have a friend that will be going to MATH3061 lectures.

So I can just ask him what happens I suppose.

How are the MATH2968 assessments? I've heard the content is hard but are the assessments also hard or do they make them easier to compensate for the difficulty of the content?

Yes I think the assessments were hard
In fact, I think MATH2968 is even harder than the 3rd year maths subjects that I've done.
Also, the course notes found on the website cover only up to week 10 or week 11 of the syllabus, and in weeks 11/12 to 13 you will probably learn stuff that is not found in the course notes so you must attend those lectures (Stephan doesn't put anything related to that material on the web ...). It also seems that the stuff taught in these last 2 or 3 weeks varies from year to year so it's possible that you don't even get to see past exam questions relevant to it. At least that's what happened to me last year

Finally, since MATH2968 is my worst subject ever, probably my comments are a bit biased.

You can now edit your timetables if anyone is interested to do so.

Pro: I will finish all my exams by 25 June.
Con: 5 exams in 4 days.

Admittedly, two of them are prac exams, but they also require all the theory, too, so. I am so unhappy right now and OH GOD my break is already over and I squandered it by not studying.

How is this a good thing? you finish on the 3rd last day... not early by any means.

I do nursing—I could finish on the last day and then have to start my clinical placement on the 29th. It's a pro for me! (Although earlier would have been nicer, of course.)

Fair enough! Goodluck with your exams

^^ Wait what, did you do that this sem? How do you have marks for that already?

Umm, guys wth, why cant I see my assignment mark on bb? It says graded but the mark shows as "#N/A". Anyone experienced this before?

Currently having a heart attack over this.....

No final exam.

Mine was similar to that before but then eventually my mark showed up.

 

[RealiseNothing]

No final exam.

Oh and they didn't tell me my final mark. I just added up all my raw marks for each assessment and it's 84.

So I'm just assuming they won't scale since I'm 99% sure they don't.

Went to see my lecturer this morning, so apparently this "#N/A" means my assignment is under review for another round of marking :/

Won't be another week and a bit until I get it back. How annoying.

I liked that subject. Cruisy. Do you still have to add in the participation mark (do they still have that)?

Nah now it is just 3 essays worth a third of the overall mark each.
