Physics 1 - DISASTER =/
« on: June 10, 2009, 04:57:53 pm »
Alright who did todays 131 exam? I thought it was so much harder than last years - there were 2 essays which weren't too bad. But the motion questions were rather hard and time consuming  :tickedoff:



It was so hard that I actually laughed during the exam lol

i was crushed. and it made it worse that the reb is a FREEZER....and mixed with panic and the sound of rain that seemed to pummel your already taxed brain i was relieved when they said "pens down".

We never had essays in first-year physics at Monash! But we do have one in second year, but we're given the topic beforehand so yeah... and it's only worth 1/6 of the exam. The rest is ALL calculation and stuff :D

They were 10 mark questions, that required written explanation, essay type. I swear the lecturer said 1 of them but there were 2 :s

Would there be any scaling if the number of people getting H1 is lower relative to previous years?

640-111 exam was typical, there were the usual few impossible questions but apart from that was reasonable. go physics ADVANCED!

yeah im pretty sure we were told ONE essay queston. but oh wells. as for the H1 scaling, i heard that the pass mark is allocated according to the average mark the whole cohort gets , but not sure about the H1s and stuff specifically. I would assume so though...
