Class Representative

Thanks heaps to Emma for agreeing to be Class Rep for MATH 321, 322, 323 and 467. Emma's email is Emma dot Greenbank at gmail dot com.

Lecture times for this Trimester are Tues, Weds 12:00-12:50pm, Thurs 4:10-5:00pm and Fri 3:10-4:00pm, all in CO118.

Some of the information on this page/site is from last year. It still applies in 2013.

Basic course requirements are that you take two modules. That is, two modules for each course you enrol in, out of MATH 321, MATH 322, and MATH 323. A more detailed course information sheet is here. Note that it is each student's responsibility to make contact with the appropriate faculty member, and sort out what is required and when. Make sure you are enrolled for the Trimester in which you will finish your two modules - it is OK to do a module ahead of time (without actually being enrolled), but you must complete two modules by the end of the Trimester you enrol for.

Assessment for modules is due in to your lecturer by the last day of lectures in the Trimester you are doing the module, at the very latest; or sooner if required by the module lecturer. For Trimester Two, the last day is Fri 18 October.

The course forum is a good place to ask questions, and get answers from other students and from your lecturers.

The Swing High group will have its first lecture at 12 noon on Weds 17 July in CO118.
