ECON1203 Lectures (1 Viewer)

[matchalolz]

Would anyone happen to know if you absolutely have to attend econ1203 lectures in person? Like do they do any quizzes or mark attendance in lectures?

If I were to take it this semester I wouldn't be able to make it to the physical lectures because of work but will definitely watch them online. Are the recordings majorly different to the lectures in real life?

Wanted to challenge myself and take 3 subjects next semester but I can only do evening classes and everything is clashing fml

I've heard from mates that attending lectures isn't necessary because they do upload slides and voice recordings on Echo, but this could change for Sem 2

Here's the course outline for Sem 2 (I haven't had a read of it myself): https://www.business.unsw.edu.au/Pr...ness_and_Economic_Statistics_PartA_S22016.pdf

I'm in the same position as you haha (I'll be doing ACCT1511, FINS1613 (Death) and ECON 1101) - It looks like I'll be getting home at 9:30 PM on two days every week gg no re

Good luck

Why is FINS1613 death

It's not FINS1612

Why is FINS1613 death

It's not FINS1612

I was told it was death in Sem 2

Tbh I still don't know why some courses are taught differently in different semesters...

Different lecturer in charges so some subjects are either taught different, or different hw/exams especially FINS1613 where the LIC in semester 2 is utter destructive in comparison to semester 1.

Sounds so pointless though. Why can't the same LIC manage both semesters like with ACCT1501

Deciding between 12 UoC or 18 UoC?

Well you need to respect the fact some LICs are simply not just lecturing, perhaps researching or working with conferences or even take charge with other courses rather than just that one course etc. You also realise not many courses have the same LIC for both semesters.

Yeah basically. I'm waiting for results so that I can make a better judgement

I can possibly respect it but that doesn't explain how lecturers like Youngdeok Lim cope. These huge courses that get offered over two semesters usually have other lecturers teaching the content as well so they're definitely not doing one year's worth of teaching by themselves.

Worst comes to worst I don't see how swapping LICs will cause a drastic change to the nature of the course either.

Perhaps you should try FINS1613 in sem 2

Wait I mean this:

There exists a strictly defined team of 2-5 people who teach FINS1613. The LIC role belongs solely to one person who has taught in both sem 1 AND sem 2 of this group of 5.

I only believe that people who teach the course in both semesters are "worthy" of being LIC. If otherwise that just shows more about how uni doesn't care for their students.

I work full time so 3 subjects per semester is the absolute maximum that I'll do

Didn't occur to me that you had a full time job...

It also doesn't occur to people how draining a cadetship can be - A lot of people are under the assumption that you sit in an office and do nothing all day (*cough* audit during their calm period *cough* huehuehue) but in all seriousness it can be both mentally and physically exhausting.

Coming home afterwards and having to study isn't that great either

[HeyJes]

Wow, you sound like you've got it all together haha

Random q but what are your sleep patterns like? Sometimes I feel so low on time because of work/study and why I feel a bit put off in regards to doing 3 subjects
