[UoM] 2012 Semester 2 Results Thread

[thushan]

You guys are all really killing it. *jealous*

I vow to study more next semester. Quote me on this.

Me too.

And I quoted you.

MAST30001 - Stochastic Modelling

Gloamglozer,

I got this one in my sights.
Interesting?
(from a Commerce/Maths Breadth perspective)

It is a very, very useful subject - something that no one can disagree with.  Having said that, there are masters students who have had to come back and do the subject because they didn't do it in their undergraduate degree.

Although it is useful, it is definitely not a walk in the park.  It's going to challenge you and possibly push you.  the tutorial questions are not easy either because they are not like normal subjects where the first few questions of the tute are easy and you can smash them out if you understand the concept.  Then the next few you will be required to think a little harder to get the answer.  With Stochastic Modelling, the first question could already be difficult and if you could end up spending the whole hour just doing the first question.

[Plan-B]

Congrats on these amazing marks guys.

Anyone one know the proportion for how many students maintain or average consistent H1s?
And is the dean's list annually calculated for the subjects taken that specific year for 1st, 2nd and 3rd year students?

You have just sold Stochastic Modelling to me, Gloamglozer.
I was looking for something interesting as a level-3 maths breadth.
It's been pretty much all Calculus for me up to this point, and let's face it, I have been taught 561 different ways to solve differential equations already

Just curious, what was your study regimen like? I'm thinking of doing similar subjects at uni. Congrats on the marks!

You are looking good for the lowest standard deviation prize, mech

Cheers.

I cannot say I had a fixed study regime. Philosophy and political theory (do not care a bit for institutions and their roles though, hence my dislike of INTS) are both interests of mine; I read books outside of the course in my leisure and tend to debate philosophy and politics at my college (yes, I am that guy). I tend just to do a skim of the readings, jot down about 10-15 short points (for example, "feminism = challenge masculine citizen archetype'", "Kant's CI is _______" etcetera) about the reading and take that to class with me to discuss. Scotch (in moderation and if of age), late night walks and coffee are all good for the soul when you get too caught up in philosophy. It is important to have comrades to annoy with your musings as I stand by the view of philosophical and political learning to be a communal thing.

Do what you are passionate about and spend time with people with your passion.

I was sort of wishing my INTS was 85 for the novelty of the numbers.

Kids, this is why you do not study full time and work 3 and a half days per week:

Introductory Econometrics - 63 (FML sideways)
Business Finance - 79
Accounting Processes and Analysis - 79
Intermediate Macroeconomics - 80

And I have just f----d over my chances for an ivy league exchange folks.

WOO! Biggest sigh of relief, got that H1 combo   After the nightmare that was HSF, I still can't believe I survived. It was by far the hardest subject I've ever done at uni to date, partially due to the poor teaching/organisation of some of the teaching staff. But it's all over now

Well done to everyone else, the results here are always insane (Y)

Just got Physics 2 Tech back so I've got them all now!

Physics 2: Tech - 93
ESD2 - 93
Chem 1 - 95
Linear Algebra - 95

Fairly consistent I'll say.
