I did terrible on that exam as well (my second worst subject ever) so I know dat feel .

Just make a comeback with 1911 like I did and it'll even out.

1911 is my favourite subject yay Though iirc, you smashed it with a 93(you gun), which I wouldn't do, but it'll still be my best subject haha. (It's nice the final's only worth 38%, and I did pretty well on all the quizzes and lab stuff)

I think CHEM1901 will have to be my worst UoS for the duration of uni. Never again.

The principles of cellular respiration... I can't get my head around it.

Can some one please confirm this. Or I'm so fucking fucked.

If you're going to be around uni Thurs or Fri we can study Concepts together?

In law they do - because they are required to pass the course (there are two 0 credit point Legal Research units that students are required to do - but its just pass/fail - so it appears on transcript as 'satisfied requirements'). At least in law. Might depend on what the subject is/whether it is a requirement for the degree or not.

yeah, ~44% fail MBLG1X01 and ~45% fail CHEM1X01. lol

I don't think that one is true - I'd say it's more around ~6%.

In 2011, 215 passed the CHEM1901 exam out of 219 students - that's like ~2% failure rate.
In 2012, 243 passed the CHEM1901 exam out of 246 students - that's like ~2% failure rate.

In 2011, 462 passed the CHEM1101 exam out of 521 students - that's like ~8% failure rate.
In 2012, 714 passed the CHEM1101 exam out of 776 students - that's like ~8% failure rate.

In 2011, 406 passed the CHEM1001 exam out of 503 students - that's like ~19% failure rate.
In 2012, 421 passed the CHEM1001 exam out of 487 students - that's like ~14% failure rate.

The average failure rate would be like 10% if you include CHEM1001.

Thoughts on the failure rates?

Not so nice that you were bored in the exam ~ I am yet to experience boredom during an exam.

[izzy88]

I have my last exam tomorrow! So desperate to finish...just hope I pass (its 100%). But then that's it - I'm finally done at uni! only took me 6.5 years...

 

[izzy88]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Does this mean we won't see you around these parts anymore?

I shall hopefully see you when you graduate regardless yay

I know i am very excited!!

Not sure as to my involvement around here...probably not as much - see how it pans out. I'm just so glad its all going to be finally over. I have very much enjoyed uni, but 6.5 years is a little too long. I want to work/have money!

 

[asianese]

Wow! Congratulations

Nowhere on the stats paper does it specify that one must use a black or blue pen for completing the long response section of the paper. I am going to use purple. Violet, to be exact.


I used turquoise for calculus today

Because those colours are just too mainstream.

I must try this for my exams next semester (if they don't specify to use black or blue)

They specified black and blue in most of my exams, trying to fit me, a square peg, into a round hole education system.
