First Semester Courses - B Commerce/B Information Systems (1 Viewer)

[AndySTi]

Hey guys,

I am unsure of which courses to select for the B Commerce/B Information Systems course, as there are 5 listed core courses (Accounting and Financial Management 1A, Computing 1, Information Systems in Business, Managing People and Microeconomics 1) as listed on http://www.asb.unsw.edu.au/futurest...merce%2FBachelor%20of%20Information%20Systems

Have I listed all the correct courses and must they all be completed in my first semester? I am a little confused as the 2011 Handbook website for B Commerce/B Information Systems (3584) lists a few more different courses (such as Computing 1A, Computing 1B and Accounting and Financial Management 1B) that must be completed.

Some clarification and guidance on the correct courses I must complete in my first semester would be greatly appreciated.

Is anyone else doing the B Commerce/B Information Systems course?

Thanks!

I think follow the handbook, the website could/might be old. And you'll only have to do 24 units a semester.
So for first sem, i suggest you do, ACCT1501, COMP1911, INFS1602 or INFS1603, and MATH1131/41.
Then 2nd sem, u do ACCT1511, COMP1921, the other infs, MATH1231/41

Hope that helps

Appreciate the prompt reply mate! May I just ask, what is the difference between normal mathematics and higher mathematics (for example, the difference between MATH1131 and MATH1141? Is there any benefit in doing higher mathematics over the normal mathematics course?

higher maths is harder, you learn a few extra things, and final exams are harder. If you enjoy maths and did 4 unit maths you should consider doing it.
Dont worry too much about the marks because its harder because its scaled.
