Don't underestimate what a massive advantage this, so many of my mates are on close to full marks without knowing shit about the actual content. Though for the last fins quiz, had the questions but still had no clue how to do it all... Also you have more time for hand in assessments, cos...

The actual accounting course is really straightforward, but personally I just thought the textbook was filled with crap & goes on for pages about shit of which only about 2 sentences is relevant. The fins textbook sometimes overanalyses simple equations, but its relatively easy to follow and...

I think if you'd done stats (ECON1203) first, a lot of the equations would have been a lot more straightforward, cos there's a fair bit of overlap in the later weeks. And if you thought the fins textbook was bad, you obviously haven't done accounting 1A or 1B yet.

Naah, accounting is my first one. & then i'm undecided between finance, one of the economics ones, or transferring into law.

Nah, apparently there's a lot of overlap - same equations, but just teaching you the theory behind it. Would prefer to just do calculations tbh, but gotta cover all the bases before i decide what my second major will be.

Hey you're in my fins1612 tute

I'm pretty sure kyung made the quiz ridiculous just to pay us back for being crap in his lecture. If anyone gets 10 in this they are actually god.

Can't speak for all unis/courses, but I had 2 friends who did language subjects at unsw, I think it was French and Spanish, and both of them said it was the worst thing they'd ever done, and I'm pretty sure both of them changed out of international studies as a result. BUT in saying that, if...

For me personally, definitely LEGT1710, because the content is actually interesting & it requires analytical thinking rather than memorising meaningless content. I hate MARK1012, because of groupwork, ambiguous marking criteria, & the quizzes we've done have just had plain stupid questions...

Sounds like you're gonna rip up accounting. & stats (econ1203) really isn't as hard as people make it out to be. They spoonfeed you like crazy-formula sheet, great notes in pass class, past papers are readily available with heaps of repeated questions - and most other courses (eg. Engineering)...

Just curious, how does MARK1012 work as an online course when its 40% group work? LEGT1710 is a fairly straight forward & interesting course. I think you can learn most of the content from the textbook. This sem there were only 2 assessments - 1000 words & 1500 word essays, both which can be...

Just think about the person who's reading your application - you're more memorable if you have some unique stories or experiences to impart, over someone who's just bragging about their long list of extracurriculars. Also this: http://fosslien.com/job/

Hey so we apply now but they wait until our Sem 2 WAM comes out to give offers right?

UNSW doesn't have that many scholarships for academics/extra curricular other than coop & scientia. But if you've done a lot of extracurriculars then all rounders shouldn't be very hard to get.

Matty g! Its been a while how you been. & nah not hard, but harder than what we actually got tested on.

I reckon they made this weeks quiz easier to compensate for the majority of people failing the last one. If you think about it they only tested the basics- irr,npvs and cash flows. None of the harder things like mirr, different timings etc.

Why don't you do a double degree in commerce & economics? In first year you pretty much do a bit of everything (economics, management, statistics, accounting, finance) & then you could continue to do both, or focus on the one you prefer more. Unsw is the best for commerce, but remember the...

Economics is an arts degree at usyd.

Pretty much reiterating what everyone else already said, but depends on the terms of the scholarship/cadetship. I got a scholarship that was a one off payment in first year, where pretty much the only requirement was full time study. And since I only start working in second year it all worked...

Read the textbook, the slides overcomplicate it. Essentially share valuation is finding the present values of: -future dividends - future selling price & then adding them together.
