    If we begin our Part IIs in 2009, then we need need do an Investments Bridging Course as well. However, if you begin your Part IIs from 2010 onwards, it will be split into two parts: part 2a which consist of the current form of part II (control cycle) and part 2b which consist of an investments...

    Stat 272

    Yeah according to the rules, as long as you get above 60 in stat272 and obtain an average of 65 with stat271, then you'll get the exemption. But I felt 271 was a much crazier paper, could be because it was my third exam in a row, or the lecturer just zoomed pass multiple regression. @ascentyx...

    Goldman Sachs employes get an average of 900k

    Sounds reasonable, guess the keyword here is average and that the salaries are skewed on each side. Just running some quick numbers, and you basically need say 1 top level employee earning $10 mil and 12 others earning $150k each to have an average of $900k per employee.

    On Campus Accommodation

    It all depends on your preferences like do you want to cook or have catered food. I used to live in DLC and it was pretty convenient that all meals are catered except for Saturday dinners. Also, there would be a cleaner coming in each week just to clean your room and toilet, etc. Problem was...

    Summer school 2009

    Well its not true that no other uni does an SNG like system for grading. You can read more about it here Bell curve grading - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

    Summer school 2009

    Lol where did the comment about Jewish people come from? I did ECON201 last year and it was pretty easy especially how in the last few weeks Alex Blair gave those handouts summarizing each section with diagrams of the models, etc. As for ACCG253, if you like finance it shouldn't be a problem...
