I'm doing the Maths Extension 1 evening classes.

T_T the first class was just basically revision, but its difficulty increased exponentially to superhard.

No, the access card is a lot more "high-tech" than your student card. They take a photo from their webcam and imprint it instantly (well about 30 seconds) onto the card.

I am 3 days into my syd uni maths 2 unit one. My tutor is excellent, but i can not see how it is applicable to my commerce degree.

 

[hysteria]

the Day session?

yep the day session...

so far the stuff been pretty easy - hopefully it'll get harder because so far i'm not getting $295 worth

EDIT: Actually i'm not getting my money's worth - i really thought it was going to be challenging because i got a band 2 in maths

 

[The_Apprentice]

Yeah it's been ok so far. Apparently its gonna start getting a lot harder tomorrow. Fuck I hate "abstract" maths. *sobs* Why am I doing commerce dammit.

 

[grk_styl]

I start my bridging course tomorrow. Statistics for Psychology. I am definitely not looking forward to it. I haven't done any sort of mentally challenging work since last October and I haven't done any maths since i finished school a year ago. Ug.

9-5 is steep! mine is 10-1 for 6 days.

I did a 2unit bridging course, and i found it a total waste of money and time considering my majors. I'm majoring in Marketing and International Business and only reason why i did the bridging course was that i thought i would need it for first year acct, econ and ecmt....but i never used what i learnt (we learnt differential calculas, thats it). Its best just to use the maths learning centre throughout the year to get assistance to any mat related problems you have.

ecmt, acct and econ were doable, with study and hard work. Considering i never did maths in Yr 11 and 12, it was alright. If you intend to do an econ major then the 2unit maths bridging course is useful, for any other major then my opinion is that its useless (unless they've chnaged the course dramatically from when i did it in 2003)!!!

Hey zannaz, I'm majoring in marketing and looking at int business too. Thats such a relief hearing that someone ina similiar position as myself has made it through those nasty looking "core" units. I cant see how the stuff I'm doing at the 2u bridging course is going to help me in first year subjects. But my tutor reckons that all first year core commerce subjects are founded on stuff like this. I'm confused. and anxious.

I finished my chem bridging course on Wednesday actually! It wasn't too bad... just hope I don't forget everything by the time uni starts.

Waking up so early and travelling there everday took ages... I was so tired by the end of it.

Mmmm... sleeping in is nice.

 

[Sham]
