Comments
Didn't go to any lectures, however I heard lectures were brilliant for the first 6 weeks however from weeks 7-12 sucked. Tutes were average, you just go through each weeks set questions and ask any questions that you don't get. Mid semester exam was pretty good, it tests exactly what you learnt + all the tricky and nitty gritty parts, so make sure you know your stuff inside out! End of sem exam was also quite well structured, theres a good balance between theory questions and mathematical questions that they ask you. The maths in this unit isn't that hard compared to say AFC3340 (where having a good knowledge of mathematics would be REALLY helpful), all you really need to know is basic computational maths. Overall a pretty well-structured unit and builds good fundamentals for those planning to major in finance
Lecturer(s)
apparently it's Dr Hue Hwa Au Yong for the first 6 weeks and Professor Madhu Veeraraghavan from weeks 7 to 12 (not too sure on this as i didn't attend any lectures)
Past Exams Available
Yes, there were around 3 exams for mid sem, all had solutions, for end of sem exam there were about 2 exams, both had solutions.
