Hey,
The lectures really are all over the place. He gets guest lecturer's in from all these different places and I can't really see much relationship between each lecture or in the whole course overall.
In fact it's more like advertising... a some people will come in from Westpac and tell you about their policies and whatnot and then some other people will come from Colonial (CBA) and tell you about how they manage stuff and pay out the other funds. Then a fund manager from GMO will come and talk about something interesting and then the director of Fiducian will come and talk about how he went from being poor to being rich.
The result of this is that it appears to be a general knowledge course however the sample questions provided are quite specific and probing.
So it's not too hard as long as you attend the lectures and are good at paying attention. Because they're guest lecturer's some of them don't want to be recorded so there's no iLectures.
The upside - George the head is writing a book. I've no idea about his progress but maybe it'll be done next semester. No guarantees though.
I'll let you know how it goes with the final on Friday week and send you some lecture notes or something.
