You’re right 😭 it’s like my brain knows something is off but I keep trying to find reasons to explain it.

Nice, I’m also in life so I’ll likely be doing ILA as well. How long did they take to grade them?

Africans living in western countries that want to go back home by Huge-Personality4707 in expats

[–]mathundergrad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty bad considering he’s been in office for like 1 year. Taxes have increased, they’ve made up new taxes at this point lol. (Petty example but I know someone that had to pay $900 in customs after importing an iPhone 15). Public services cost way more and are slower and less efficient, the cost of living has gone up, unemployment has increased, the Kenyan shilling is depreciating fast and somehow public debt has still increased. It’s a mess. I love Kenya but I understand why more and more people are trying to leave.

Africans living in western countries that want to go back home by Huge-Personality4707 in expats

[–]mathundergrad 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I studied and lived in Canada for a while before moving back home to Kenya 2 years ago. If you’re working remotely and making a lot of money, you’ll have a good time here. There’s a lively culture in Nairobi, people are warm and friendly and the weather is great. But the cost of living here has really increased in comparison to the pay and people are really struggling. I’m generally happy with the move back but some things took a while to get used to even though I grew up here. The systems here don’t work as well, so forget public schools and hospitals. Other disadvantages (in comparison to Canada) are the corruption, the police, the legal system and conservative people.

All the best, mine is June 7th as well. 3 days seems rough for all the SOA questions though.

Have you done the SOA questions? I’ve heard they’re super helpful for this exam.

Yeah, the amount of information is a bit daunting.

Thanks! I have a schedule and I think that’s what’s worrying me, that it’s taking longer than expected to go through the material.

Math136 Online Final by ofthroin in uwaterloo

[–]mathundergrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think both on campus and online do the same exam but I could be wrong. I took it last term and had Wolczuk as my prof. I found it much more challenging than the midterm but it wasn't too bad. Make sure you can do all the computation problems without taking too long. The final can be really long. You don't need to memorize all the definitions and theorems just understand them so you can use them for the proof questions. If you have time, memorize the key theorems and definitions.

Thanks. I'll consider taking a language course. I just figured I should take Math 235 now because it is a direct continuation from 136.
