Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2016

sounds about right

lel
Lmao, I just found out the last guy is also an international student :(. Far, they didn't bother balancing the teams at all. I had a look around and I just got unlucky. A majority of the people had their full group and fluent english speakers.

Experiment:
1. Put all the International Students in the same groups (and exclusively them).
2. Record your results.

Nah, main problem is they dont understand english. Thence they can't speak english. If you can speak their language and take some time to explain the question they become really good. Cause the maths they learn is more complicated than the hsc shit.

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2016

Any1 willing to offer me advice on whether I should drop to math 1131? I got very high e4 for 3 unit but very low e3 for 4 unit. I practically remember nothing about 4 unit. From what I've gathered, you will get good marks if you dedicate time to 1141. However, how much time? If I dropped to 1131 and gained a lot of extra time, I could just reallocate that time into my other subjects and get higher marks there. Anyway, how much more extra time on average does 1141 take?

About the international students, it's because their grammar isn't great and they aren't able to form succinct sentences as well which is crucial in report writing. Fortunately, it's just a presentation so I don't have to waste too much time editing it. Also, I kind of wanted to form strong bonds with my group but our interests are just too different.

O. I never worked with them before :p Can imagine the frustration though.

My friends and I were joking the other day on how for every 'ten rows of people' you pass by on the main walkway, 8/10 rows sound like they are students from china XD
