Anyone here attend Ms Sheila F8 class?
Come on......share some review here
Since all the LYN member seem like support Philip Woo very much......any Sheila fans here?
Among the both lecturer......who is better?...... Who should I choose for?......
I personally prefer Sheila class since the comment on her is not bad also and her provide much much more lessons than Philip Woo......
My friend told me that Sheila class also have about 100+ students
Erm i've attended both lecturers before, sheila for 2.6 and philip woo for 3.1, and both phillip's and sheila's 3.1 revision.
For sheila, at the beginning quite intimidated with sheer volume of her notes that we have to cover, and since it was my first contact with audit, there were many times when i didn't quite understand what she was teaching (also maybe due to the fact i was not very hardworking la hee
)
but looking back now, her notes are very detailed and she covers the whole syllabus (i think =p) systematically. She's quite a dedicated teacher... I guess if you are hardworking and go through all her notes diligently most porbably you'll have a high chance of passing:)
For philip woo, i enjoyed his classes and he always encourages us to use common sense to approach the questions, instead of reciting a long list of mnemonics...His classes are also more interesting and applicable as he relates alot of stories to us.
However, for 3.1 he mainly used the past year questions as his main teaching materials, which in my opinion, does not adequately cover the entire syllabus. Also, he's quite fast and seldom writes down points when he's teaching. So you have to make your own notes really fast while listening to his lectures...I don't write that fast and my handwritting is really untidy so sometimes wish he would give us more time to write the notes down
of course if you have good memory you can just sit n absorb his class.. i'm not too sure whether it's the same for his F8 class though =)
And as you mentioned, he offers much less classes compared to sheila. For me, it's good for working people because you don't need to go for night classes. But you might not be able to concentrate so well during the later parts of the class because of the long hours...i'm always "fishing" by then hehe...
Finally, for the 3.1 revision, sheila specially prepared a revision pack and condensed the important parts for us to study. Philip woo, as far as i remember (one year already =p) he went through the past year questions and covered some spotted areas using photostated notes, but he didn't prepare his own notes.
All in all, both lecturers are quite good, and i guess it really depends on each student's personal preference. i prefer sheila, that's why i'm taking her P1 classes now hee
