Class representatives
You can email your representatives and let them know your views about second year courses. (Note: Do NOT email these people with mathematics problems!). Your representatives will meet with staff in week 8 or 9 to discuss issues.
Handbook
All students who enrol in an intermediate level mathematics or statistics unit should consult the Intermediate Course Handbook for important general information as well as specific information for their chosen units of study.
In particular, it is advisable to read the Progression to Senior Units section before finalizing your choice of intermediate level units.
