Hi all,
First congratulations to those that have moved on to the next stage of the selection process and good luck too all. I am still on the "under consideration by the department" stage.
I had a couple of questions. I've been looking around and although there are past papers for part three easily accessible it seems like the solutions are not made available at all. For me this would be a big problem as I feel I learn a lot from looking at past papers and seeing how these questions are solved. Have you guys considered this and what do you guys think?
Also I have looked around for notes for each module and any lecture notes or books available and it seems like it is all over the place and even the notes them self are very short hand and without any real in depth analysis. So it seems we will rely heavily on lectures and taking out own note in lectures. I have to confess that I am not very good at this, I am much more suited to learning from typed lecture notes provided by the module leader which I work through at my own pace.
All in all I feel Cambridge is very traditional in its teach methods and I would struggle to keep up. Have you guys heard any differnt to this? Am I missing some website or moodle page only accessible by Cambridge students which has a lot of resources and very detailed lecture notes? Do the lecturers write out the notes in detail on the board in each lecture or do they simply come in and discuss what they wish and leave?
Thank you all
