1. nice, im getting nowhere near that,

2. can someone please tell me an approximate number of students enrolled say in first year microeconomics/macro

3.if you're getting a pass grade, how can u be getting average of 71? jokes?

1. ~ distinction average

2. https://my.unsw.edu.au/classutil/ECON_S1.html

3. Its very easy to get a pass in most subjects >=50, although some will require that you pass every assessment i.e. ACCT2542 which is a bit tougher. and no passes yet, worst is a credit...

oh damn a smart kid, is everyone like this getting a D +?

are your friends all getting around the same likes 75+?

Well to be honest i went to a pretty successful selective school...so yeah most of them will be getting at least a D average and probably quite a few on HDs as well

But I wouldn't be worried, a credit average is all you will need in terms of marks just make sure youre well rounded (in other words not like me). besides we have it easy in commerce anyway compared to most other faculties

3. oh, I thought you meant at least a pass. I got 51 for QMA, I think that's the only subject i got in the 50s. I got a bunch of low 60s as well, but luckily I did well in a few other subjects to pull my WAM up.

And obviously not everyone gets Ds/HDs. Aiming for Cs is just fine I think.

1. ~87

2. Check the myUNSW class utilisation page (google it)

3. I haven't so far.

 

[Loz_metalhead]

1) 77.5 so far
2) Not sure
3) I would try and study alot harder if you were on a pass average. Try to push it up to a credit average.

 

[sunjet]

BoS usually has higher avgs tbh.

 

[Jago]

not to mention those with lower marks would be more reluctant to post theirs

nice! (off topic do u wear glasses? no offense)

feel free to answer some stupid questions:
how many hours do you study? do you study as soon as you get home? study right after dinner? up to 12 am? studying while travelling to uni? studying while walking?(holding textbook in hand lol)

im getting only a pass average, got a few credits but offset by a constant pass grade.
this is how i look at it in terms of future prospects:
pass average = fail average(the uni feels sympathy for you and let you obtain a pass)
credit = a satisfactory level of knowledge, but still too lazy
distinction: nice!
HD: godly!

 

[§eraphim]

I do not study consistently, just a couple of wks before assessments.

 

[Survivor39]

I'm pretty sure you don't need to study "as soon as you get home" or " studying while walking (holding textbook in hand)" to get a HD average.

Commerce people usually get so much time off (spare time) I'm pretty sure you can do well if you study regularly and keep up-to-date on your work and take assessments seriously. Take final exams more seriously than small assessement tasks in subjects where the final exam weights 50% or more. I guess that's a good advice for all students, not just commerce. But I'm from science, what would I know about commerce...

How do you get distinction average do you write notes and summarise everything like each chapter for say like finance each chapter? Im struggling to soak in all the info in FINS1612.

I found the lecture notes to be fine because the final was multiple choice. Same with fins1613.

Now that im doing FINS2624 and 3616 im thinking I will have to do notes...
I did notes for macro, micro and accounting though.

Do you write notes?

I've never been a fan of self-made notes/summaries. For me writing them has always been a waste of time. I just do all the readings, lecture notes, etc. several times over just before exams, and everything usually turns out ok.

 

[Pace_T]

a while back i used lecture notes as well as my own summaries that i made from the textbook. but it was the biggest waste of time... just use the lecture notes and make notes in your lectures that arent covered in your lecture notes that you think might be really important.

INow that im doing FINS2624 and 3616 im thinking I will have to do notes...

is Henry yip teaching fins2624?....if so....don't you just love him?
