On Reddit: "Did 3116 last year. It was quite content/theory heavy, the maths in it was pretty simple and the theory required a lot of intuition to understand. Marks weren't too hard to obtain since all assessments were done online."
On Reddit: "Have done 3116 and am currently doing 3127 right now. I think that in terms of hours needed, 3116 might be lower since you don’t have to do questions on a weekly basis, assessments wise the questions in the quizzes and final exam are very similar to the tutorial questions"
