Lecturers are shit, content flies by with little to no communication. The Blackboard site is barebones and has no additional information, and to even find the weight of certain tasks, is equivalent to a 6 month mine at Ballarat during the gold rush. Fuck this unit. Feel bad for anyone who has to take it and listen to the idiots who run it.

Nice and easy introductory unit for statistics and econometrics. Exam, assignment and take home assessments are all quantitive based.

While the content was enjoyable and applicable to my finance major, the lectures left something to be desired. By saying that, however, the workshops followed a strong trend of picking up the slack and allowing you to put into practice what was covered. Further, the assessment structure is in the best format (in my opinion); the THAs build your understanding through weekly synthesis/summary, the assignment allows you to take that knowledge and apply it to an analysis, and the final exam provides a mixture of both.

The subject was run fairly, with the tutorials run by Sylvain providing incredible assistance to both general understanding and assessment. I believe the unit is more than fair in the amount of hints and help it gives students. In many cases, tutorial questions are very similar (the exact same process, just different numbers) to assessment questions. Therefore, tutorials are a must attend. The lectures, however, are dull and designed in a confusing way. I did math B in high school, so I already knew most of the content the lecturer was teaching. However, I believe students without a background in math B or some other similar math experience would struggle to follow the lectures.

I had difficulty understanding the data analysis processes with the lecturer providing incomplete and sometimes incorrect answer sheets that the tutor did not understand. Also, some lecture recordings were confusing and hard to understand. The lecturer however, during the lectures was highly engaging and easy to communicate with in person.

I found that this subject is pretty difficult for students not majoring in maths & statistics like me. The final exam questions requires students to take revision seriously; many students in the past semester was failed & retaking this unit

This unit is designed to ensure that students gain the basic tools necessary to allow them to develop this skill. Students will also gain an introduction to many of the quantitative techniques which will be used throughout their further studies in their chosen discipline. Major topics to be covered in this unit are: Organising and presenting data Numerical descriptive measures Probability and Probability distributions Sampling distributions Estimation Hypothesis testing Regression, and Time-series analysis

strongly recommend LIAM (for tutorials) he is really good in explaining THAs. THA are doable but it really depends on your lecturer and how they mark it. lectures are pretty boring and hard to understand in my opinion.

Having to teach myself as lecturer is too confusing and does not explain adequately. Facebook group, Google and Spoonfeed me are my teachers.

Not good at math but did not really need to know more than basic algebra and you could take the formulas into the exam on the A4 sheet. The content is quite dull but with practice... I mean lots of practice the questions are OK. Good thing is that there are lots of questions provided with the solutions. The textbook gives additional practice questions with some solutions at the back. The lectures were faster than I could understand but the uploaded ones were by another lecturer which I found very helpful. If you are worried about this subject the way I was, just do lots of questions and work out why you did not get the correct answer for the ones you got wrong.
