It also has a more 'legal studies' feel with the early topics such as crime and justice. Although, I can't say much. It's only been 1 lecture. However, overall, seems like an interesting and hopefully enjoyable course.

Yeah I feel the same. It's more interesting than torts (which I also had today), that's for sure.

Hey mate, are you sayign we don't really need BOTH books or one of the two. If it's the latter, whih one?

Cheers

The small grey/black book is good, but the other one is not necessary at all.

Cohort was super smart and laughed at the Introduction section.

I did not attend the tute as I thought it was not on for the Tutorial because of course outline, I didn't hear Carlos say the Tutorial announcement as I sat in the far end (Although, it was on).

Yea, tutorial was good. We went through the Ethical and Moral issues together and it was very stimulating and challenging for the brain.

I had someone say to me that they never knew law could be so fun after the tutorial, LOL.

No written work was completed though, take a look on iLearn and go through the stuff listed under Tutorial 1 if you haven't already done so.
Should be interesting for you as well.

Hey Ben, don't think I saw you in the lecture this week and last week.

Where are you mate? haha

Is it really necessary to buy the ECON111/BBA102 texts?

I can't say for BBA102 as I haven't done it, but for ECON111, definitely! Many of the tute questions interwine with examples specifically from the textbook. As well as this, some concepts in the lecture notes may be just given and not explained, whilst the textbook thoroughly explains this.
