Hi All, Seriously thinking of doing a master of marketing but I can't work out where to do it. My Bachelors (finance) is from Macquarie (I live in Sydney) but was thinking of giving another uni a go. It would have to be either distance ed, weekends or part-time evenings. Anything that requires...

I did ACCG352 last semester (also my LAST semester) and I have to say I'd rather give birth to an echidna. The first part of the unit run by Ryle was bad because you couldn't understand what he was actually saying. Attendance at tutes was 2 people. There was no guidance as to the essay or what...

lol GPA of 5... nah.. I think if you have around the 2.5 to 2.8 mark you should be fine... go to Faculty Home - Faculty of Business and Economics - Macquarie University and give them a call to find out...:D

Totally agree about the waste of semester. :evilfire: I'm on 41 but I think the requirement is that you have to get a minimum of 40 out of 80 possible for the two exams. So far I have 24 so need another 16 for this one....

It's all over... I've got to say this had to be one of the hardest exams so far at uni. I am literally praying for a pass. :vcross: Worst thing is, even now if someone asked me what the best way to study for this is, I wouldn't have a clue.

Yeah, but I have no idea what to expect... .at least with the midsem you could predict what q's would get asked because they'd be based on tutes... Most of the excel calcs for this part of the course for the tutes couldn't really be done in the exam. Geoff mentioned 'conceptual' questions...

Luke's referred to the excel work so think (hope!!!) he's referring to Geoff's section.. But Luke, could you please clarify? Cheers!

Cheers for that Luke!

Hey has anyone done this unit before? If so, how was the final exam? Our final is only weeks 7 - 13 and covers portfolio management with futures, options, structured products and general portfolio calculations. The problem I'm having is that every single tute question requires Excel (heavy...

Ryle Perera. I've read so many papers over the last week - it probably adds up to one tree the amount of printing! How was the marking?

We have to write a 20% paper on the topic of liquidity and how it affect returns. If you have done this subject in the past could you advise how they mark this? What are they looking for? The outline and requirements are very vague stating only that you can't paraphrase large sections as it...

Yep and I've looked at the other two you're referring two and Macq is placed even lower than in the Times one. I'm not sure where I'll be doing postgrad but it sure as hell won't be at Macq. And it's not just because of the rankings....

Times Higher Education Macquarie has now dropped from 182 to 187 in the top-200. <start rant> :angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry: This is starting to really p*ss me off. What are they doing with my fees? I shouldn't be surprised I guess, given the quality of the 'teaching' of ACCG352...

Hi everyone! Just a quick question about doing honours and graduating... Can you actually graduate before you do honours, or by doing hons. do you automatically put off graduation for 1 yr? Cheers!

this unit is finally over.... What did everyone think of this exam? I though it was reasonable and *WAY* easier than midsem. Of course Egon threw in a few wierd phrasings but I think I've gotten used to that.... Overall this whole unit would have been much easier but for some reason Egon...
