Who else is Business Studies Class of Twenty-Ten???

What do you think of the subject?
I find it fairly achieveable, not really challengeing but definitely interesting at times

Heyy!

Yep, I'm doing business studies for 2010 HSC. I think it's an alright subject. =]

 

[adriano_negr0]

Too many people take it, scales like shit, have to know the entire text book with all the little insignificant details and requires heaps of study
It's the only subject I honestly studied for and it will be my worst

Ugh. My year group is going to drag me down, aren't they? A few people got like 20% in their Prelim. finals, maybe even lower. None of them have dropped the subject. :|
I don't care enough about scaling though. I find business a pretty interesting subject, and I enjoy being able to have "business conversations" with my family, since everyone else has done Business-related study in the past. (and my lil bro is starting bus. studies course next year )

Just had my first assessment task for the HSC. It was worth 15%. Business report. Planned. Not sure how I went...not nearly prepared enough, but when I entered the classroom I was just HIT with all these words and ideas, and they just kept on pouring. I ended up writing 7 pages in an hour, which is a big achievement for me...though, you have to account for the lists and diagrams...
Business Studies isn't my favourite subject, no where near, but I still really enjoy it. I don't find myself have to really buckle down to get the work done. Sometimes I'm out of motivation, but it's not like English where I have to stress non-stop about it. >_<

was my 2nd most enjoyable subject .

What I don't like about Business is that it's always the first one up on the HSC exam timetable.

I'm not the greatest fan of derivatives (in managing global business I think). What's a swap contract anyhow? The Qantas case study was a pain in the arse. Lol I've no idea how I managed to get a band 6.

My personal ratings for each topic:

Managing change = 5/5
Financial management = 3/5
Marketing = 5/5
Employment Relations = 4/5
Global business = 2/5

Yer I heard Global is crap

haha same here
both my older sisters and dad work as brokers, marketing managers/directors
and I can finally understand what they're talking about

most probably my favourite subject, a shame it scales so low though

 

[twistedrebel]

I ll be doing business

same. achievable, not challenging - honestly, the worst bit looks to be like putting together case studies - and my teacher did one of them for me. thats about the only challenging thing, the rest is common sense or pure memorisation - and its not hard memorisation either, like say.... english quotes!

anyone have a file on the case study?

 

[Brontecat]

try looking for the Qantas case study book, you might be able to find one at your local library - i posted up the website that has it in this thread http://community.boredofstudies.org/21/business-studies/228483/qantas-case-study.html - it's a book that i would definitely buy if I couldn't find it, it goes through all of Qantas in relation to the concepts of business studies & the syllabus

another helpful website for case studies - Business Studies | GCSE AS A Level Business Studies Resources | Teachers & Students Revision

i did find some of the financial stuff a bit hard to remember though, how did everyone else remember all the ratios?

 

[elmir1]

I am doing it

 

[missmaddi]

I made myself a pretty, colourful slideshow which i watch when i have trouble remembering them as well as flashcards so i can study at work.

I don't mind it, I do find it interesting but it is probably my least favourite subject.

 

[elliottjohnson]
