    2nd yr maths?

    I'm thinking about taking intermediate maths and possibly doing a maths major. My other major would probably be neuro/anat. I was originally thinking of doing neuro and anat double major but I think that it might be too rote-heavy and doing maths would give me more of a balance. I've always...

    worth buying mblg textbook?

    Getting mixed reviews...The new one costs like ~$150? and even used ones are like ~$80 (which are getting harder to find by the minute). I'm aiming for a solid D. Would lecture notes be enough? So far (only week 2 lel) I'm finding it difficult to really absorb the information during the...

    Subject Reviews (with PDF compilation)

    MATH1001 Ease: 9/10 Easy course. But then again I did 4u. Lecturer: 8/10 I had Di Warren who was a very good lecturer, although I only attended a couple of lectures. Interest: 7/10 It’s calculus.

    chem1901 marks? scaling (i know, i know)

    Hi, soooo I took the chem1901 exam today and I probably raw-wise failed. Or like barely passed (somewhere around 45-60% depending on how many marks I get for my workings). Would this be scaled? Or is this just going to be my mark? If this isn't scaled, I really regret doing advanced and...

    missed chem prac penalty?

    I missed a first year chemistry practical. I have booked a later one. Is there a penalty for this? Also, although I doubt this will happen again, is there a maximum number of times you can reschedule a practical? Thanks.
