Re: MATH1131 help thread

Unfortunately looks like I'll be stuck in this thread for another sem...

Yeah if I do, I won't be overly upset over having to do it again, just because I'll probably be a lot better at it by the end. I think my downfall this sem was focusing to much on comp1917 and neglecting math.

The thing that upsets me is the stuffing up my uni schedule / plan.

1917 final exam is actually pretty hard if you're starting out on your first language.

Re: MATH1131 help thread

Just d0 1917
Tbh though I've contemplated it.

I could do it with Sien lol. We both kill our WAMs together.

But that's only if she will do it. I haven't found another friend who can do COMP1917 with me yet... and if nobody does it with me then I will choose WAM booster over suffering anyday

(My plan suggests that I do my COMP units in third year, but if I have people doing it with me I'm willing to mess up my plan and do it second year first sem. COMP1917 + ACTL2111 + two maths subjects is gonna be brutality though...

...but I could swap one of the maths subjects for FINS1613...)

Why do you need someone to do it with you lol? If you're looking for fellow people doing the subject, you'll find them in your lectures. Or go to some CSEsoc events, they're quite active.

I think you should do 1917, but just make sure your committed and willing to work hard in it if you choose to do it. Don't go into it thinking you'll suffer, plenty and plenty of people have gone in with no programming experience absolutely fine. Keep up with the work and you'll be right. Keep in mind comp1917 is taught differently in sem1 vs sem2 (apparently).

I have heard good things about 2nd sem COMP1917, it seems to be less tedious as there isn't a "resume" part.

Apparently it's more traditional. No openlearning, so yeah no blogging/resume.

Re: MATH1131 help thread

Also wam doesn't mean much. Idk why you're so worried about marks when you don't even want to make friends in a subject.

Seriously, I'd focus more on that rather than marks. Cause at the end of the day, your marks won't mean everything. This is not HSC anymore.

Apparently most companies require a credit average (like a tick the box sort of condition).

Depends on the company., I've seen a guy who is an engineer at google with no university degree.
