I signed up just to write a review on this subject. Don't do this subject, it is poorly planned and the information given in convoluted. The tutorials consist of a worksheet being put on the whiteboard and the tutor walking around awkwardly not really teaching anything. Nearly half of the unit was accessed of plagiarism which is quite telling to how little confidence the information given by tutors and lecturers instilled in the students.

Looks like not much has changed since 2016 overall. This unit was poorly presented and while the tutoring staff have experience of maths, they have little to no experience of actually teaching. The MATLAB teaching was essentially "read this manual, now do these tests" and the workshops are a waste of time because the staff are regurgitating what was taught in the lectures. When almost half your unit is accused of plagiarism - you have to wonder whether it's entirely the student's fault. Get the unit completed if it's mandatory - but use the tutoring services if you need any actual assistance.

This unit was so poorly planned out. I have not learnt a thing and even though I'm getting good marks, its because of my math text book from high school and Khan academy. Lectures are little to no use, which makes the tutorials not much help either. They give you a work sheet and expect you to understand the in the tutorial for two weeks AND THEN they teach how to do your worksheet after your tutor has taught you. The last time I went to a lecture, the lecturer told us off and threatened to cut the lecture short because we said we couldn't read her writing and she got annoyed. We have one lecture every two weeks so for the people that did need this lecture, they would have been screwed. I haven't showed up for a lecture since because everything they teach us in it has mostly been taught in the tutorials the two weeks before. For the extra little bit of information they do add in the lectures, I'm not sitting two hours for it. Aside from that, this unit has potential is taught correctly. I did this unit briefly last semester before leaving, and it was really well planned out and now it's just a mess :/
