Finished the 3 day HSC exam marathon.

ELEC1111 -

Fuck the telecommunications questions and the train question.
But the rest of the paper seems good, no dependent sources please and god heard my calls.
Then a HSC exam style question worth 5 marks asking to "Explain in about 30 words what power factor is and why it is important to maximise the power factor."
I2R and other HSC crap....blah blah...

MATH2089 -

Numerics strand too easy.
Asked me to do Simpson's Rule and Trapezoidal Rule for pretty much one whole question, HSC stuff really.
Then asked to solve a heat PDE in space intervals of 0.5 in a 1 unit length bar, lol.
fucking statistics makes me write a lot of words for a maths exam. too long.
too much content stolen from his own lecture slides, some rote learning and other bullshit, etc.

MMAN2600 -

It was nice and easy then it just went downhill. Woohoo.
Why the hell would i derive Reynold's Number or find the appropriate tubing diameter.
Agreed.
MMAN2600's question 3 was bloody annoying, and I screwed up the train question for ELEC1111 as well. Oh well, at least it's over.

train question was weird, i drew up some circuits, noted in the resistances in the overhead cable and the track, but apparently that question was in one of the tutes...

i just finished a 4 day exam marathon. .. and finished my exmas for my uni career (provided i don't fail any) =]
dont mind that

sometimes, its exam questions like these that make rote learning tutorial questions worthwhile.
i would have believed they would be more original in their approach for setting exam questions.

k, using rote learning in the future.

My first exam is tomorrow! How fucking retarded is that....
then when does it end?

TF2?

Had political economy today. Probably smallest amount of people I've ever been in an exam room with. Also at the very, very top of the racecourse so lovely view on the way up and down from the exam venue.
