Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2016

I really enjoy the format of the revision live videos the math school puts out before class quizzes. Two lecturers doing questions seems to be super efficient and they tend to expand on what each other says.

It'd be almost perfect if they had these types of videos instead of tutorials. Or instead of the ONLINE tutorials. So the in class tutorial can be kept for being able to ask your own questions. Because the tutors tend to be quite poor at actual teaching and explaining their working I find.

Online tutorials are a waste of time currently, and take up too much time. I'd rather spend 4 hours doing some actual problems instead of going through the online tutorials.

Only best 8 counts, so there is really no point of doing them past week 9 if you know your shit. Go do some past papers for revisions lol.

Speaking about best n attempts count, I am so glad this system is in place because I absolutely flunked my algebra test yesterday

Play the game out with the courses. If there's easy marks always work hard to get them to give you more breathing space for the finals

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2016

matrix is ok.... just the determinants. Fking calculus on the other hand is the reason why people get cancer
When in doubt with determinants just reduce to row-echelon form and use the rule for the upper triangular matrix.

But I've learnt to bring out 0's wherever possible because that's always good

If you don't practice by hand, then you won't know how to use software in order to find what you want.

Half of the questions are piss easy and some of them are hard. For algebra, only curve sketching was hard lol.
