ACCT1501 textbook and its study guide (1 Viewer)

[mysterymarkplz]

Hello, seeing as how expensive the textbook is, i resorted to just buying an ebook and was contemplating on purchasing the study guide as well, so i just wanted to ask how useful the study guide was and its differences from the actual textbook, thanks

Not useful at all , full of errors in the study guide... not worth it

Study guides were never helpful in uni. I find it funny how perfectionist many of us are during HSC to get the best atar/Uai to get into the course but the. It doesn't take long before the mindset of a pass or credit will do just fine.

Tbh from what I've heard from seniors, this study guide is useful with summaries and practice Qs (both MC and short-answer) with full solutions. So I have bought it, but have not used it yet, so I cant speak about my opinion on the study guide yet. A good idea would be to ask your friends (who have bought it) how they find it as the semester progresses and if you get good feedback, then go buy it! If I remember, later on this semester, I'll post my thoughts about the guide!

As I said, soon you will discover errors in many questions. Even the lecturers said so.

We'll see, but I don't get why lecturers would say that and then go write in the course outline "UNSW strongly recommends the purchase of the study guide".

tbh iirc ON recommended the study guide.

Because textbook writers (apparently 2 UNSW Academics) will gain profits
