MUEP Maths - MTH1040 vs. MTH1055/MTH1085?

<< < (2/4) > >>

vea:
MUEP is no longer as easy as it use to be :(

No calculators and no notes in the exam... gg

I also heard that first year uni students aren't being offered MTH1040? Is this true? If so, how would it work if only the enhancement students were studying it? In terms of scoring...

This. :P
They changed the assessment for this subject entirely. ^^ Hahaha. And Hough isn't coordinator for the moment since he had some abrupt thing to attend to - so.. this leaves this in a bit of a dilemma.

m@tty:
At Monash scoring is based on your mark, not a percentile. If you get 80 or over you get 5.5, 60-79=5.0 and 40-59=4.0 (actually, it might be 50-59 because I think <50 is a fail.. not sure though.)

Ohh that explains things! It would be such a pain to be ranked amongst the other enhancement students. xD

A few more things to add:

Back in the days of MTH1055/MTH1085, three versions of each course was actually offered, on-campus enhancement, first year sequence at Gippsland and off-campus enhancement. This made the assessments a bit hard to coordinate, because on-campus was managed by Dr Hough and off-campus was managed by Dr Carr, there have been some dispute over whether they were equivalent in difficulty (off-campus assignments were slightly harder, but they got more resources). It also made exams a bit different, as enhancement section of the exam was a bit different to Gippsland section of the exam.

This more or less streamlined the administration, and Hough can administer his cohort of on-campus kids. Previously not enough people did the enhancement program on campus, the number has recently increased enough to have its own subject code. MTH1055/MTH1085 are still offered in off-campus mode by Dr Carr.

MTH1040 will be slightly more difficult than MTH1030, as enhancement kids generally outperform first-year students. MTH1040 will most probably credit MTH1020 and MTH1030 (monash-based math enhancement has always credited two units as far as I know).
