Re: Why you guys hate asians so much?? I love conquering Asian women.

It always seems to me that life has an extremely morbid sense of humour. Yet, I suppose the reality is that we live in a cold, hostile and impersonal universe that is completely indifferent to our existence.

Re: What 're u guys' expectations for the final exams? ECON311 - High Distinction ECON335 - High Distinction

It was an extremely useful unit when I took it a few years ago. Although we had a female LIC, whose name I cannot recall. We had to complete a major assignment, building an equity valuation model for a real firm of our choice, which was Alinta Ltd in my case. The final exam consisted mostly of...

Re: Two summer school subjects - and one day overlaps... I missed a few days of BUSL320 in summer school last year and it was fine.

If you're interested in doing an accounting/finance/actuarial/business/media/IT degree, rather than arts, go to Macquarie via SIBT. (Google it if you're unsure!) Oh, and stop unnecessarily bumping this thread, you tripper.

ECON396 - Economics of the European Union I'm not sure if it's available in the first semester, but it was by far the most enjoyable/interesting unit I've done throughout my entire double degree. I cruised through it and got an easy distinction too. And the lecturer, Marc Lombard, is one of...

It's a difficult unit and the scaling will reflect that difficulty, so hopefully you'll all pass comfortably.

Are you referring to the result for a prerequisite unit or are you re-attempting a unit over the summer? I think you'll still be able to enrol in the unit on eStudent even without having received the exam results for the prerequisite (I'm pretty sure I did this for BUSL320 last summer). As for...

Sorry, I forgot the active/passive management stuff was all in Ryle's lectures. If you know the textbook content and you understand basic delta hedging and Black-Scholes pricing, et cetera, you should be fine. With the Excel stuff, as I said, it's not the Excel work itself, it's more the...

I rarely attend any tutorials or lectures for any of my units unless the attendance marks are above 5% for the unit, and I've never had a problem. If you're doing well in a unit, it's difficult for the administration to justify failing you for not attending a few classes. You really have...

I ran into this problem when I did ACCG352. The exam was approaching and I'd done none of the Excel work. Essentially, you need to do the Excel work and understand the concepts behind it. Also, familiarise yourself with the active versus passive management debate and know the pros and cons of...

Glad to be of service, your majesty!

I remember CAPM constituted about 20% of the final exam I did. I vaguely remember a theory question on EMH too. Apart from that, I don't remember anything else and nothing specific unfortunately. I did it 3 years ago.

(Hi Ben) Guys, when I did the final exam for BUSL320 I remember: A long calculation question on CGT which included: -Sale of the individual's primary residence. (And that's a trick;— there's no CGT on a person's residence.) -Sale of shares. -Sale of an investment property. A question focusing...
