Acct1511 (1 Viewer)

There seems to be a bit of controversy about this one. Is it far harder/different than acct1501? Would you say it was a WAM killer or booster? People seem to think the final is a nightmare and that your internal should be 100%.

Insights into ECON1102 would also be appreciated because again there seems to be conflicting reports.

Cheers.

econ1102 = wam killer
acct1511 = wam booster

you'll get conflicting reports because all experience is anecdotal. i crammed acct1511 in the 4 free days before my final and got a HD. actually learnt econ1102 throughout the semester and got a credit.

also if you have a look at the course outline, acct1511 basically gives you 42% free marks before the finals. i.e. participation and presentation marks + online quizzes that are easily google-able. whereas econ1102 has an assignment and midsem plus marked hw each week.

interesting D: i hated 1a (but got 82) but i like economics and find it interesting do i decided to take econ1102, infs1602, fins1613 and mark1012. Am I stupid, purposely 'killing my wam?"

I found 1511 bloody hard and it made no sense to me... especially cash flow statements. In hindsight, I struggled with core accounting at uni (i.e. journals, and financial reporting) until I got to the majors where it was more focused on the more interesting aspects (i.e. management accounting). And look where I am now

Dunno I found acct1511 really straight forward. I did acct2542 this sem and it fucking does not make sense at all. At least 3x as hard as 1511.

Haha I rote learned every possible journal entry in 2542 the week heading into the finals.. still managed to scrape a HD despite having no clue on what consolidation was all about. All of accounting confuses me but fortunately they're repetitious

MARK1012 is probably the biggest WAM killer out of those four. Previously I would've said INFS1602 but I have discovered otherwise after doing it this semester.

Lololol mark is one of the easier electives to boost wam

Did you do 2542 this sem as well? How did you find the final exam?

Yep I did and I thought the finals were rather straightforward (q1-3 were near identical to past papers) outside of me guessing like half the MCQ.

That's good! I haven't done it yet cos I was sick on the day. Any tips or things I should look out for?
