Engineering Drawing + Sketchbook 7ED is quite useful. Great book and you'll probably be refering back to it in future design courses. Don't worry about the other one.
They're probably the two most used books if you're doing mechanical/mechatronics/aerospace. You'll be using the statics book in second year, and you'll probably want to refer back to it in third year as well. You'll need the dynamics book for third year too. PDFs or other electronic copies would...
Thanks for the input.
The lecturer's just changed the weighing for the mid session from 30% to 20% and distributed the other 10% between the first quiz and final exam. A little relieved now. I wonder how many emails he received over the last two night lol.
How'd they go with yesterday's mid session? I did pretty bad, probably gonna get around 5/30. Most of my friends went pretty shit as well.
When they say we need to get 40% in module A, is that 40% before or after scaling? =x
The requirements to pass this course is to obtain above 40% in each module A and B, and get an overall mark of 50 or more. Are they strict on the 40%-in-each-module requirement? Lets say if I got 35% in module A and 85% in module B and end up with an overall mark of 60, what are the chances of...
Don't worry about it. I missed almost half the tutes in 1131 and 1231 and still got 78 and 72 respectively. towards the end of MATH1131, I was worried about my attendance as well, so i made a call to the faculty of maths, and was literally told that they don't look at your attendance if you pass...
Yeah, thought maths was quite easy, so I just brushed through it. pretty sure my raw mark is higher than that, cause if 58's my raw mark, that means I failed the final exam, which I'm pretty sure I didn't. Oh well, at least 2100 makes up for it. Thought I was just gonna get a pass for that.
Thanks omie jay. Worked my ass off for the finals when I heard olsen say that 50% failure rate is quite common. Only got 31/50 for the mid session (which was a copying fest -.- everyone I know got 40+. Should've copied during the mid sess and get that HD lol).
