Remember the statistics taught during H2 Mathematics back in High School? Well it's time to revise those notes for the very familiar topics are back, with more! But don't worry, this time there wont be a group of rather fickle minded people who refuse to sit next to each other around a table.
This module is split into 2 parts, part 1 which is taught by Prof Loh and part 2 which is taught by Prof Alberto. Prof Loh was very passionate in his teachings and always stops every now and then to check if we understand thus far. He explains things really clearly (and sometimes quite slowly) but nevertheless, I praise his passion. Prof Alberto on the other hand, employs a very unique method of teaching. Basic concepts were conveyed through short video lectures which we were supposed to watch before lectures. Lecture time was reserved for mainly applications of the basic concepts taught. Prof Alberto was equally passionate and the occasional pop quizzes with chocolate rewards are proven to keep you awake.
When studying for this module, make sure that you understand the concepts well instead of plainly memorizing equations. This is especially important for prof Alberto's part II where his questions during finals were a little more on the tricky side. (You may take only 2s to answer a trick question if you see through it while others will take a couple of minutes trying to derive a rather complex equation).
* A Hint: Pay attention to the mini-quiz question and answers during Prof Alberto's lectures! They really help in testing your understanding, and may even come out during the final exam!
