Course summary

Mixed

MATH1821 is generally considered manageable, especially for DSE M2 candidates, but can be challenging for those without prior knowledge. The course involves a flipped classroom model and four tests, with the final exam being slightly harder. Lectures are engaging, and the workload is moderate.

Grading

Grading seems generous; multiple students mentioned getting an A despite some difficulty in the final exam.

Workload

Moderate to heavy workload due to the flipped classroom approach and frequent assessments. Students spend around 10-12 hours per week on the course, including lectures and self-study.

Assessments

Assessment breakdown includes four tests (best three count), final exam, and平时成绩. The final exam is harder than the tests.

Teaching

Lectures are engaging and well-taught by Professor LKH, though some students found the pace fast or struggled with prior knowledge gaps.

Tips

Watch videos thoroughly, do assignments diligently, and practice additional problems for a better understanding. Focus on the process of answering questions during tests as they can be strict.
