Assumed Knowledge (1 Viewer)

[JaredR]

I attended the USyd Open day yesterday, and got the prospectus for education and was looking at the 'Assumed knowledge/Requirements'. It stated basically that:

'2 units of maths and 2 units of english - Bridging courses offered.'

I was under the assumption that if they say 2 units of maths, they actually mean the 2 Unit course and not the General Mathematics course.

But then I checked my UAC Guide and it reads:

'Any two units of mathematics and any two units of English at the HSC'

I take that 'Any' means General as well?

I should have asked this there but I only have just come to that realisation now, any help there? Please?

Thanks for the replies;

I was worried for a minute.

depends what education degree you want to do too. if u want to get into arts/ b edu cation(secondary:humanities) then u dont need maths. but if u want to do primary or wanna teach science secondary then u do.

If you teach you would need to understand basic mathematics (for when assessment time and reporting comes around). But so far I haven't come across any in the course.

English because you need to know how to write.
