On Reddit: "Okay. I would say FINS3648 is gonna be really easy for u as a cs student BUT the lecturer marks the assignment really hard. It doesn't have python (very little) and FINS2624 is pretty easy, if you didnt struggle in the stats section of MATH1231, it should be of ease to you."
On Reddit: "Did the course last sem. Rarely took attendance, basically none for the first half of the semester. Course is easy but there is a cap on your mark simply because the quizzes are built to be memorisation on exact stats rather than conceptual learning."
