I'm blocked on myUNSW but hopefully they'll get emailed nonetheless.

Actually fuck that, this was my worst semester ever - I don't actually want to see my results.

did u study a lot?

I probably used to ask the same question... but it's really not about studying a lot, i try and study as less as possible (this doesn't mean i don't study - no study, no marks)


It's all about having a plan.

Overall strategy:
--You study when there is a need
--You study the right content (think of the prize - e.g. there is $1500 in cash prizes for FINS3635)
--You read the lecture notes throughout the weeks - take time reading them, ditch the book.
--You attend lectures - tutes are useless, they are taught by students just like you (some people can go without the lecture... but personally, i hate reading books - so i avoid that as much as i can).
--Get the easy marks. (tutorial participation is a joke)
--Don't even try and memorise (this is only for courses about concepts- obviously you need to memorise history), if you see you need to memorise something - it is probably because you don't understand it - find out why & you will never forget it.
--Remember the buzz words. The people who mark the exams are students - they could potentially understand the subject less than you. They are given a marking guideline and to cut time, they search for buzz words (finance has a lot of them)
--Never study the night before. Never study before the exam.
--Be CCC - Cool, Calm, Collective


Tactical work:
--Find out what the lecturer thinks is important. (a lot of the lecturers are narrow minded and like what they research, their own philosophy and other biases)
--Learn from past assessment. This gives you a lot about the lecturer's style. It will help you find out what to study.
--Read the course outline, i used to never do that.
