What t.book do you use? (1 Viewer)

[SPX]

So what Business Text Book is your school or class using for the HSC? Our one is absolutely enormous with somethin like 600pgs.

I found it actually ok to use. It had the terms and stuf so that was good, but it was the one we were issued by our teacher so we really couldent do anything about it. I had the study guide (excel) aswel tho.

i suppose it is good in some aspects...however just looking at other textbooks and some study guides, the textbook doesnt seem to have as good explanations of the different components of the syllabus

just my opinion...could be completely wrong tho...

 

[AGB]

yeah we didnt hav a choice either

do u think that teachers set exams according to the textbook or the syllabus....i no its an extremely general question, but there are some discrepancies between textbooks and the syllabus

we used nelson business studies..
2 of the co-authors were our teachers which is pretty handy!

business studies in action HSC Course - champan/merritt/norris

too bloody heavy

 

[SPX]

Yeah, me too...I got the Business Studies In Action but seems like its too detailed but really its all extra case studies.

 

[AGB]

does anybody use the Dixon one?

 

[foxy]

same as bobo and SPX....though we dont even use it half the time! our teacher just summarises from everywhere else, but photocopies case studies off that book! argh whats the point then!!!

We used that in yr 11 but in year 12 we used heineman which was good. I also bought the excel, which i do not recommend, Our teacher also summarised some parts for us and provided us with case studies so the textbooks were mainly used for revision!!!

yeah i was thinking about getting the dixon book for use at home for year 12 but im not sure whether or not its worth it...

We used Business in Action in Yr 11 and then the bloody teachers changed it to the Excel one. But i'm not complaining...:mad1:

 

[AGB]

u are using excel as a text book????????? isnt it just a study guide

 

[Weisy]

we used the first edition of Business Studies in Action...it was good for extra case studies...there's also a purple summary book I bought that was good...but I can't rememebr who it's by...

 

[Juliet]

Sorry about that AGB. I thought it was Execl... its from Leading Edge Education or something.

i dont even think that studyin for busines studies is that necessary....i mean it is all nearly common sense!

 

[ufb]

i've got four textbooks for bizos but i reckon it's best to get familiar with diff. types of questions cauz the HSC questions have got to be inspired by something,

But even still the more Tbooks u have the more confused u can get as each one disagrees with the other

At school :- BUSINESS STUDIES HSC (Sykes, Hansen,Codsi)
and our teacher summarises notes on each topic and makes in into a folder..

For personal study i use "study mate- 2u business studies " by McGraw Gill book company and also the excel study guide by Louise Flemming...
