ECON1101 (Microeconomics)
Ease: 10/10. The assessments were quite easy as long as you understood the content which wasn't too hard to learn as long as you were were following the lectures. Finals were all multiple choice and pretty manageable.
Content: 9/10 I really liked the content, a bit of it came from prelims eco.
Lecturers: 10/10 Peter - Awesome lecturer, explained concepts really well, etc. Heard Alberto was pretty good as well.
Tutor: 9/10 I think her name was Van? Other than having a bit of an accent she was really helpful and explained concepts really well
Overall: 9/10 Pretty interesting/bludgy subject as long as you keep up to date. Make sure you get Alberto/Peter though because they're really good.
ACCT1501 (Accounting 1A)
Ease: 9/10 Not an overly hard course. Midsems were pretty easy, gave 25% free marks (though realistically you get 22.5 of them) via quizzes and perdisco. Finals weren't that bad.
Content: 10/10 I really enjoyed the content for some reason, but I found it pretty interesting learning about the accounting cycle and management accounting.
Lecturers: 7/10 Youngdeok - Heavy accent, explained things quite well. 3/10 Asian lady - Slept through 1st lecture with her, skipped the rest. 8/10 White guy - Explained concepts pretty well, though skipped every lecture anyway
Tutor: 10/10 Derek - Pretty cool tutor, explained stuff really well and was heaps chilled.
Overall: 9/10 Pretty chill/bludgy
ECON1203 (Business and Economics Statistics)
Ease: 6/10 30% fail rate in mid sems, harsh marking for the project, finals were quite similar to previous years though
Content: 7/10 Idk, after the regression topic started everything just built up to a pile of shit but for the most part it was pretty manageable and somewhat interesting.
Lecturers: 4/10 Roger? Idk, I kinda feel sorry for him because it seemed like he was trying really hard to be a good lecturer but he was pretty bad. Like he spoke way too softly and mumbled a lot, so much so that you had to concentrate really hard to understand what he was saying let alone understanding the theory
Tutor: Umm we had 2 pretty bad tutors which i don't remember the names of, though there was one time we had this really hyper old asian lady (apparently she's the tutor in charge?) who's name was Lee Lee or something and she was great so 9/10 for her.
Overall: 5.5/10 Death when finals come around. If you don't want to die go to Denzil for lecturer. If you don't want to die go to PASS classes. If you don't want to die make sure you do tute questions and actually understand them.
