Trimester one is here!
We are here to help with all queries about 100 level math courses, and some 200.
We'll be starting in week two of lectures, which is the first week of tutorials for most.
There will be helpers in CO255 available 12-2pm on Tue, Wed and Thu almost every week and 11am-1pm on some Fridays. Posters and signs will help guide you to the place.
Our tutors can help you with the following math courses:
Luke: all first, second and third year math courses, ENGR121, ENGR222, STAT 193
Joe: first year math courses, ENGR121
Emma: first year math courses, ENGR121, MATH261
Ari: first year math courses, ENGR121, MATH212, MATH244, ENGR222 third year math courses except for MATH377
Some differences between NCEA and University
| NCEA |
University |
| Students can pick and choose assessments (A la carte) within courses |
Assessment is almost always compulsory and you need to do all assessments to pass |
| Lots of teacher support |
Less teacher/lecturer support (but it is there!) |
| NCEA Achievement Standards break subjects into discrete parts for assessment |
Holistic assessment is common, need to know the whole course |
| Grades are Achieved; Merit; Excellence |
% based assessment; A-E grades |
| Writing is often instrumental to pass a standard |
Academic writing can be more about developing a critical, creative argument, not reaching a standard. |
| Students can re-sit assessments |
No re-sits |
