Would anyone be able to explain the 100, 200 and 300 level thing? I'm unsure of how unit requirements fit in with the 'levels'.

Essentially:
100 is first year
200 in second year
300 is third year

Each 'year' the topics become more complex. A 100 level usually has little prior knowledge required, but a 200 or 300 level unit generally builds upon topics you learnt in a lower lever subject.

If you have to take a lower level class first, or need to have a certain number of credit points, this is called a 'pre-requisite' subject.

Guys what does it mean that Afin102 is only gonna run this year, I'm assuming it means it will be replaced. In that case am I better off doing it next sem or not doing it?

If its a requirement for your handbook you've signed up for then you'd be better of doing it.

its my best subject so far, but i wanted to get the tedious subjects outta the way that i assume would have a lot of theory.

btw whats everyones favourite food and drinks places in the uni so far? theres better in macquarie centre but i rarely get the time/have no breaks unless im skipping lectures.

i really like thai kiosk so far... rest are ok, the kebab place has hsp's for a decent price but their not something i'd wanna eat for lunch 1-2 days a week

The Banh Mi from French Baguette is cheap but relatively overpriced, and a bit slimmed down than your average viet bakery banh mi. The pasta/salad store is also pretty cheap. $6 can get you an easy meal if you're happy with simple pasta.

I also go for heavy drinks from Boost that would fill me up on Tuesdays. Check the app and sometimes they have deals for $5 for an original. You can order and set a pick up time, so you can get it in between classes even if you only have a 10 or so minute break.

sheesh.

I became poor so I stopped buying food on campus (or on uni days in general).

The only place I really liked was the salad/pasta place. Always good pasta there.

Maybe the cops wanted to give the doggies a break from always going to Redfern for Sydney Uni students?

Well you know, on the confessions page they always claim they're coming to the MQ library to study because it's too far to travel to the city

for me so far, ACCG, especially the journal assignment (Tho maybe its just because we had to select from stupid lists and so I wasnt able to do it as fast as I wanted to), has been really boring/unbareable at times.


Srsly considering trying to transfer to law next year, will probably do lex101 next semester.


Is there a good journalism degree combo with finance in macq? I enjoy finance, so i think atm I'm pretty resolute in working in finance in the end anyway, but thats the only other thing that would interest me

 

[ilikecats]

Is that for accg100?

First year accounting is incredibly boring. When you get to 2nd and 3rd year you start on more complex (and arguably) more interesting topics.
