Re: The UTS 'Secks and Do The Quiz Above' Thread

Regarding referencing.. I'm suprised about the number of business students who are unaware that we have a guide for it (+how to write reports etc...)

Argh, stupid CGE online quiz. I just did with a reasonable degree of confidence only to get 13/20. Ive got no idea of what I did wrong, and suspect that it went down to trick questions (which more often than not fail to test knowledge).
Furthermore this also happened in the last quiz, for which we have still not received the answers.

I know that since its a 5-6 day open-book test they have to make it hard. But the last two seem to have gone to a very specific level where the lecture and textbook material has not really prepared me (or anyone else judging by the average mark).
/end rant

Oh well, maybe this is what its supposed to be like. I might have to actually think scientifically by using concepts on various problems instead of simply memorising facts.

Thats what university is all about.
EDIT: Ow and yeh we do learn the Harvard System for referencing.

YES CGE is ridiculous, and I agree with all you said.. The last two quizzes have been so full on its not funny. It said first week of evo topics would be covered.. and the questions were not first week material..

Yes Med sci is nearly finished just the discussion left to do!

I have group work for all of my subjects this semester =o

I think it was like 2 weeks ago.. i had 4 group meetings for each one within that week.

Re: The UTS 'Secks and Do The Quiz Above' Thread

haha thats a pity allister....from my memory, i cant think of a subject that my course has group work...maybe physics and some case studies but thats about it.

ah looking at the one and only exam paper for principles of forensic science, i can confidently say that ill be looking forward to that subject next semester...provided i have a decent lecturer

wow u actually have group meetings

whenever we had group meetings we did nothing

i did majority of the bstats assignment

groupwork sucks!

Re: The UTS 'Secks and Do The Quiz Above' Thread

Finished BStats just then. All printed and done as at 12:30AM. Due date today 9:00AM lol.

Group meetings are pretty useful.. if everyone is dedicated they are pretty effective. MSN just doesn't cut it sometimes.. even a phone call is better.

Group work = WIN if you find the right group members.

Re: The UTS 'Secks and Do The Quiz Above' Thread

hahaha sucked in
and what were you doing bludging at the tunnel today?

[Huratio]

Re: The UTS 'Secks and Do The Quiz Above' Thread

Re: The UTS 'Secks and Do The Quiz Above' Thread

Hey guys, can someone explain this to me if they know what it means?

I think I got the idea just need some confirmation.

"Caveats: If you score less than 40% on the final examination, your final
assessment mark will be the minimum of a mark of 44% and
the mark obtained by using the standard assessment procedure.
If you score less than 55% on the final examination, your final
assessment mark will be the minimum of a mark of 64% and the
mark obtained by using the standard assessment procedure."

Does it mean like.. say I score 49% then I will get a minimum mark of 64%? Like wtf.. Could I fail? ... if i wanted to?
Makes me confused

Yeah everyone is glad stats is over... I handed it in around 8:40AM this morning.. which required me to wake up at 6am.
Damn.. I have work tomorrow.. means I still won't get a good night's sleep until wednesday night =/


krayzie_: That is ducking confusing. I say just get over 55% in the final exam and u won't have to worry about anything.

Re: The UTS 'Secks and Do The Quiz Above' Thread

i did the biggest mistake of 2007


i went with some friends in their business lecture.

omg theres no happiness around the place, fucking everyone sits away from each other and the lecturer is so retared that she needs to put annoying sound effects in her slides. ffs accounting makes my eyes & EARS bleed

bahahahaha fucking lol
i made the biggest mistake of 2007 so far.....staying for the 2nd med sci lecture togay
haha theres business students for ya....i thought it was the engineers that live dull lives, but obviously from that.......

 

[jemsta]

Re: The UTS 'Secks and Do The Quiz Above' Thread

haha im saying that it should be the engineers that brings no happiness, and likes being isolated from everyone else
statics...oh please...id rather go watch the grass grow than sit in any engineering lectures

 

[jemsta]

Re: The UTS 'Secks and Do The Quiz Above' Thread
