Yeah, ASB does scaling for their subjects - they have to as a way to avoid too many people from failing. Though on the other hand, I remember that FINS1613 final was hard in 1st sem, but it was scaled quite well (turns out there was close to a 50% DN+ rate.). Whereas in sem 2, the FINS1613 final was even harder but it didn't scale as well, so a lot of people are expected to fail or get lower than what they expect.

U teaching FINS1613?
I taught PASS both Semester 1 and Semester 2 this year. As for becoming a tutor? Not sure yet. Dont think ASB wants me HAHA. Although... some of my students have asked if I was teaching 2624 or at least take PASS for 2624 (doesn't exist).

Oh I hope so. Some of my students were sad after the finals. Although 1-3 were very happy. Fingers crossed they all get a mark they are happy with.

How do i become tutor
Get a HD in the subject you want to tutor in, plus a WAM of at least 80 iirc. Not exactly sure but that sounds right by the looks of it. Oh and tutors are preferred to be in their 4th year and above, perhaps honours too.

Well that makes sense... scale the easier sem more and the harder sem less! #ASBLogic #FML

The current lecturer is a kient tho
Yeah, tell me about it. =_='

Grrrr. Kyung. Swear to god the moment when everyone found out that Kyung made FINS1613 hard, more people waited and then enrolled into it for 1st sem instead of 2nd.

FYI this year there were 3 lecture streams for FINS1613 in sem 1, this coming year will be having 4 lecture streams in sem 1. Nice to know that people have got the message that it's harder in 2nd sem.
