SIM UOL students lip lais! - Part 5

[ah_paul]

qns 3.. just have 4 options.. if offer x = 2 only have 1/4 of 3m
if offer x = 3 will get 1/ 4 of 3m and 1/4 of 2m
if offer x = 4 will get 1/4 of 3m 1/4 of 2m and 1/ 4 of 1
if offer x = 6.........

best is offer 4m

best offer is 4m in the event that buyer knows V

if buyer doesn't know V, shouldn't he put 6m? cause if V is example above 4m then anything below 4m the seller will not sell and thus no profit.

so does anyone else think 6m is possible?

I don't think I will need a lecturer to go through theory questions? it's pure memory work.

Daniel tan, bad person? no of cos not. bad lecturer? yes most definitely.

and like what the other person said, getting second upper in poa is easy, irregardless of lecturer.

Have to agree that theory are pure memory work.. Look, most ppl are disappointed with the paper becos the calculation qns aren't something they expected (me too) but I find no purpose blaming the lecturer. N I'm not showing off my 2nd upper.. yes I know there are loads of ppl who are smart like u, probably gotten first class? Haha..

if u are so dissatisfied with him, why not email him? So he can improve on his teaching..

Anyone know what question number is Responsibility Accounting? 6 or 7? I think I wrote wrong questions number..

HONG gan liao.....

 

[veefounder]

i think at university level, there is only so much a lecturer can do..
unless one learn from subject guide + essential text + pyp + ask ques and clarify doubts(only time good lecturer will come in handy) it is rather impossible to score well (pass maybe still can) on further units..
if we expect lecturers to teach everything in-detail, its just unrealistic expectation

let's not turn this into a bashing thread. i believe there are no "bad" teachers. they just have different style of teaching which you might or might not like.

the lecturers can only help to a certain extent. choosing the "more popular" lecturer doesn't guarantee good grades **especially msm

im not blaming the lecturer, after all like you said he did his job and went through every bit of the subject guide. nth more nth less. and I'm the one taking the exams not the lecturer, so I'm not so stupid as to blame his incompetency for me not doing well.

I am, like the others who shared their thoughts on Daniel and Esther, just trying to advise future cf students to think carefully before choosing their lecturer if they want to do well. a good lecturer does increase a student's odds of doing well in cf.

send email? I believe someone already did and the email was highlighted by Daniel in his last lecture. of cos he went on to tell everyone in class that he did nothing wrong cos he did went through everything in the syllabus. so I don't think I would want to send an email that he will use to feed his ego right?

if i may say, i do agree with the guys here saying that a good lecturer does make a difference. if u dont feel this way, haha good for u! (prolly cos u are a smart kid, thumbs up for that) with a good amount of good notes and stuff i dont see how u "can go wrong". seriously those in esther class u know what she gives for tutorial, geez i can compile them too who doont have past year papers? and subject guide? -_-

How do u find this mod to be? Easy, not so easy or difficult not to be attempted? I dont wish to take ibm and maths is not my thing. My command pf english is not tjat fantastic as well...IS units r not what i wanna do in my term as a uol student. If only there r more foundatuon units to choose from.

I understand what you are going through because I went through the same decision process as you, looking at all the available foundation units and decided on ELC.

Personally, I find the module interesting and practical in life. As a bonus, Mr Ram is a great lecturer and I enjoyed his lecture the most out of all my lectures this year. xD

To me, I find the difficult part of the module is quoting the relevant case law to support your argument/point because of the large number of case laws involved in each chapter.

Also, interpretation of the question might be an issue but with exposure to a sufficient number of questions and Mr Ram going through the tutorial questions for half of the lecture (almost 90% of the lectures), this should not be a serious issue. =p

Overall, if you have a reasonable command of english (expression and understanding) coupled with good memory work, this module should be manageable. xD

p.s. previous comment was replied by me but I was using my friend's desktop.

 

[fascist]

while the student's performance sld be judged independently of the lecturer..

there is no doubt that daniel tan's teaching is just bad.

perhaps because he has been successful in the pte sector and just teach to pass time that is why he appears complacent.

he just mostly go through the slides and do some basic explanations only and sometimes talk about himself. i do believe lectures should at least have some value add..if he just repeats something that can be read off the notes then why go to lectures in the first place?

but theres no incentive for any of them to teach better. They all get the same pay. They can just put in minimal effort, just enough to get decent passing rate.

Agency cost of equity theory.


But having said that, there are some who are really dedicated. Raymond Teo (not sure whether he still teaching or not) , Mok Tian Soon, Nageb etc. Got quite a few.
