ACST151 first week is just 'fun'...i actually loved that subject, and there was a take home assignment:
A literature review, where you analysed an article which is somehow related to the actuarial profession. Nohting too taxing, and two in-semester tests aren't overly difficult (first one is actually really easy).

STAT171:
I found hte mid semester test quite difficult and scores were generally low (compared to acst151 mid sems ), although, as expected, some freaks absolutely ripped it. Study hard, and this subject won't be difficult to Credit.

Three assignments, not hard, but they can take a while to do. Everyone basically does them last minute, so having a fair few actuaries on MSN is really helpful
They are worth shit all, which is a shame.

COMP125:
I did comp115, i hate comp assignments, practicals and tutes. I remember assessment was based only on 4 assignments and a final exam.

MATH132:
We never had to do this...we did ECON110 in first year...

I suppose you'll be doin ECON110 in first semester second year.
