Course Reflections (Real - the other screwed up)
I was wonerding what your course reflections were for the year?
I was looking at some threads last week and thought that there was some weird stuff being posted - the third derivative and the AM-GM thingy (dont ask me what they are cos i still dont know, I asked my teacher and he didnt know either) some of these things that people emphises on were too much and I think that there are a lot of people that spend too much time looking at other stuff. I dont think that they were used in the exam and if they were i didnt need them to answer the questions - so there could be a lot of time wasted on it. What were your views on the extra work?
Also what was your class structure/sizes and your timetables like for four unit and what amount of time would you spend studying a week/day?
I would do maybe one hour per fortnight or sometimes an hour a week leading up to the exams but would never do the amounts that i have heard some ppl do. I can first in my class and see that you dont need to do a lot of study to exceed in the course. My class would only have two 50 minute periods per week that was spent just on four unit, which isnt a lot.
Overall i thought that the cousrse was good. My favourite/best topic was intergration (but for some reason i was shit house at volumes, weird). I prefered/liked the longer and harder algbra style questions with huge eqn's.
The exam was good, i thought, covered most topics fairly well. Question was good and q2 was pretty good and then i went down hill a bit from there.
Any other comments I would love to hear them.
