Repeat for Regression Analysis

I might have misheard it but someone said the repeats for this Ben Taylor's module is not with other modules...like it will not be between 1st-15th August. This has something to do with it being in a lab and not an exam hall. Is it true?

I want to talk about one specific subject.

Mathematical Analysis.

Here is why it is different from all the other subjects that I study ( physics, finance, differential equations, calculus, statistics)

This is that one subject that I keep getting dejected about.
It is a subject that needs to be studied in your head. It cannot be written down on paper and practiced to actually study and that is the beauty of it and i found it the hard way out.

My exam is in 4 hours.

I tried studying this subject the whole semester but to no avail. I literally could not get it into my head. I tried writing down everything in the notes like I did with other subjects, but that did not work. I scored 1/10 in one of the tests and I was the only one who scored so low.

So what was I doing wrong? My methods clearly worked for other subjects.

The thing is that this is one of those subjects where mindless work simply does not work. There is no formula to plug in and there are no definitions to memorise.
It is all intelligence.
infact if there was any real measure of intelligence, then that would go to this one subject.

Now don't get me wrong, other subjects are not mindless goldmines, BUT if you CAN get good marks in other subjects even if you don't understand them completely, as long as you show that you know what you are doing or mention the right key words, you might get some marks, but not for this one.

edit: also another thing, I have never heard this as a method but i literally mindlessly copied down my professor's notes on a few pages to get into the subject and be less scared of the subject if that makes any sense.

Are there any places like parks or other communal spaces that have partial shade such that I an enjoy a sunbath but my laptop can stay covered and there is an outlet for laptop nearby.

I am tired of being cooped up in my room but I also want to get work done. I would love to do it in fresh air.
