Reviews
This unit goes throw a number of different techniques for hypothesis testing, usually a new one each week. In that sense it does move quite quickly, so you need to stay on top of it each week. My advice would be to get a good understanding of conditional probability and Bayes' theorem early on, that tends to throw a lot of students off at the first exam.

This is a great, well organised unit. It has a lot of contact hours though, 6 hours a week. For Maths Applications kids, prepare to study hard to do well in this unit. For methods/spec kids-you already know 2/3 of the content so prepare for a cruisey, very minimal study HD.

Marcus the lecturer teaches pretty well and cares about improving based on the feedback given.He reviews what people misunderstood during tests to prepare them for the exams.The tutorials taught me so much even when i got behind on the lecture material.Probably the most enjoyable math unit I've taken.

The pace is good. Learnt a lot. If you have trouble, ask your tutors or the lecturer, they are more than willing to help.

The course requires a lot of contact hours and can get quite intensive, but the content of the course isnt very difficult and it is quite easy to study for the exams as they rely heavily on past papers.

Was a bit difficult at times but the final exam is much easier! Lecturer was really chill. Practice a lot using the past exam papers, they really help

If you keep up to date with lectures you'll do more than fine. Overall great unit.

The lecturer is quite good at explaining everything and tutors are very helpful. This unit requires a lot of work to do well, you have labs, workshops and 3 lectures per week so it's very easy to fall behind and the exams are never ending. If you enjoy maths then you will find it very easy if not, practice a lot every week.
