Trimester two 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 available in CO255 from 12–2 pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, and from 11 am–12 pm on Fridays, with some weeks offering extended Friday hours from 10 am–12 pm. Posters and signs will help guide you to the place.
Our tutors can help you with all first-year maths courses, as well as the following second- and third-year maths courses:
Roy: ENGR121, ENGR122, ENGR123, MATH142, MATH151, MATH243, MATH251, MATH304, MATH309
Van: ENGR121, ENGR122, MATH142, MATH151, MATH251, and MATH304
Sophie: ENGR121, MATH142, MATH151, MATH243, MATH251, MATH245
Michael: ENGR121, ENGR122, ENGR123, MATH142, MATH151, MATH243, MATH251, MATH304
Some differences between NCEA and University
| NCEA |
University |
| Students can pick and choose assessments (A la carte) within courses |
You are expected to do all assessments, they all count |
| 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 |
