Busl

Hi guys. I feel so scared owing to the fact that some of exams are coming so soon, lol :blah:. And I have some queries regarding the BUSL250 mis-term exam which I (we) concerns most:

_It's a open-book exam. Have it been that last sem(s)? Coz I do not fully understand how a Multiple Choice test can be open-book?

_Can u guys tell me which are (were) the types of questions we will (would) be asked? And which parts are the emphasises? I think it will be the Torts and Negligence parts, but not so sure about the types of the questions. Were there any questions of definition?

_Was the exams so hard? Coz I've heard something really scary about the exams in the past (nearly half failed...).

Thanks heaps in advance 4 ur advice.

Re: About the BUSL250 mid-term exam

I remember the lecturer saying something about taking in the book.

She said there are going to be some extracts on blackboard this week as well, but you cannot take them in.

Look at it this way, the take home assignment you can do with a bunch of mates at the end of the day.

It is 40% which I think is stupid for a 20 multiple choice exam.

But ask the Vicki about the book to make sure.

Her name 's Verita, is it not? Yup we can bring the both 2 books and the Civil Liability Act 2002 inclusive.

Wow, 40% and 40 Multiple choice questions. And no sample so far? So confused at all. It accounts 4 nearly half of the total assessment so if we do shit at it, I assume that we will be in big troubles. And it 's not worth being that owing to a MC exam, haizzz .

Re: About the BUSL250 mid-term exam

My m8 joined the evening Lecture on Thursday and Verita showed them 10 past questions. She also told them that maybe we would have 15 questions based on Case Study (focusing on Negligence) like the Classical Donoghue v Stevenson...The rest would be some definitions or theoretical questions...

My tutors gave us some (I assume it to be) useful notes. Happy with that. He also noticed us to read Chap 8+9 in Business Law 4th. Much essential than chapter 4 in the new textbook.

Just hope the exam would be not 2 hard. They've all forgotten us. Not even an announcements comparing with 15 last sem...

Maybe we 're gonna have some cases with several questions in each to answer.

I think it was way harder than we had thought. 2 biggy cases were very tough to deal with.

Hope to get around 20 coz I didn't have the Civil Liability Act as well as the Orange book. Thus, byed at least 2 dead easy questions.
