Hey, As far as I am aware yes, its very good at given you broad knowledge of every aspect of business functions. You will do 2nd yr accounting and finance aswell as business law, HR and strategic management etc - some units not available to commerce or any other students at the uni. Here is the...

Hey, Responses may be a little limited on here as it's exam period at the moment - I am just one of the lucky ones who has already finished. I will therefore answer your question as much as I can, as I have friends doing the BBA. I guess it depends on what you want to do with your degree...

It's not so much being good at maths as having enough knowledge to be able to re-arrange formulas and work out equations. I did the ACST101 which is the introductory unit to finance for all commerce subjects this sem and it wasn't too bad and I wasn't great at maths in high school - but it also...

Mine are : 8, 9, 12, 15 - all over in a week - wish I had a little longer to prepare though!

I think the 'sudden change' this year is to do with the overhaul of all the units. All my tutorials have a class participation percentage.

I haven't made any close friends yet, mostly because the people I talk too and sit next to in my lectures and tutorials all study other degrees and are just in that class with me and we never have breaks together. Just sit down next to someone who is on their own or just next to someone waiting...

Here is a hint, turn and look at her. If she looks at you just smile and look foward again. Done. Do it quickly though don't stare!

I had a 4 subject book but it was just too heavy, now I use a reasonably thin A4 lined notepad for all my subjects and then tear it out and type it up when I get home. Learn and look at what you are doing as you type it up and then it assists in taking in what you learned in the lecture. Works...

Although I am sure everyone thanks you for your honesty, do you mind explaining why you think commerce is a fail degree? Do you propose the business world be uneducated or all take maths?

At the end of the day if Law is where you want to go then just choose which one you enjoy most. Or you can do what I am doing, I want to do marketing BUT I am hoping to do also do economics as a second major. So what I have done is chosen my official major as marketing but have taken all the...

Or maybe something in tourism or hospitality management?

I had to pick up my ECON 111 book yesterday because it was sold out last week - 1 1/2 hours later I finally got into the bookstore - just to see the 20 min line to pay!! Next year I am buying online!!

Looking at the assessments I think you just have to keep up with the lectures from week to week - anything you don't know look up in your own time and then try the questions again. That's what I did for the practice assessment. The practice assessment is only suppose to take 20 minutes, it took...

I bought a 4 subject notebook but they are quite heavy compared to a normal notepad. I have now just got a normal A4 notepad and what I do is I print off the lecture notes and take them along, and if they say something specific about a word or term on the slides or something I write it on the...

I'm thinking of going, where do you buy tickets after O - Week?

This morning the line was an hour long for the book store at about 9.30 - glad I bought most of my books on Monday - will wait till next week to get my last book! I heard the line was over 2 hours long yesterday righ back past the big tv and right up to the stalls on the far side. I thought I...

Pretty sure the BBA102 custom book is new for this year though, so there will no last year versions to buy.

I think the other thing to keep in mind as well is just because you have a marketing degree doesn't mean you will stay in traditional marketing. Once you have your 'assistant' and 'coordinator' roles under your belt you can also move sideways into areas like sponsorship, sales executive...

Thanks guys that really helps! I noticed there were two textbooks and wasn't sure they were worth buying - I don't think I will bother, the notes are certainly lengthy anyway! Plus my main goal is to simply just understand the basics, enough to pass, so it's not a subject I will want to do...

Thanks, look like I will just have to work my ass off then! In peoples experience does it help to buy the books? This years books are: Maths Of Finance (custom) 2e + Financial Institutions, Instruments & Markets (cust. Cutdown Version Westcott) 6e [pack] But it doesn't say they are...
