Is it me or is this unit as boring as?? I attend the lectures and they make me want to sleep. Hardly anyone attends the lecture. What do we really do in this unit? I thought it would be mathematical but its basically theory of financial institutions. Are the exams hard? I have a feeling that im going to fail this unit =( . Give your opinons on this unit.

Umm yea its kind of boring but i hung in there anyway.You mainly learn how the financial system works but there is a few maths later on to learn.As for the exam you can use maxmarks to practice.Last semester he basically just took the exam questions off it.Only hard thing about the unit was i had to study the whole book to prepare for the exam.But you dont need to pass the final anyway,as long as the overall assessment is over 50% you're fine.

it aint bad..our lecture is bloody boring tho..damn lecturer gettin d lecture off d txtbook site...have some damn originality!!!! apart from that its ok (im d only first yr dude doin it in my campus at blacktown 
)
)I'm having trouble with this unit.
I've been caught up in a lot of shit and entertainment (not knowing when uni started, not organised with enrollments when uni already started, being in melbourne for the past week)
On top of that I have only 2 books so far, 1 i received today in the mail which is... FIM
So you can imagine, I've been playing a shit load of catchup
Now, with this unit. I can't find what the hell is the homework. In tutorial program it says the sub chapters. Do we have to like summarise this? I can't see any questions labeled 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.6 etc...
I'm so confused of what we actually have to do in this...
Now in the lectures, i had the most embarrassing moment. I fell asleep, and i was the only one left in the theatre apart from a few people talking to the lecturer.

The questions 3.2,3.3,3.4 etc refer to Chapter 3 essay questions 2, 3,4. I hope you've been going to the tutorials tho because I'm sure theres required attendance for the first hour and we have already been put into groups for our presentation.bizadfar said:
Guys i know its boring,ive been there already but in the final exam you really need to study for it hard.I did the weekly readings and re-read the whole book again basically to review for exam because it was based on the whole unit.Out of 50 multiple choices it could ask anything in that thick book.You really dont wana cram in the last minute of exam because theres no gurantee you will get the time to.Lucky for me i had a week to study for it.
Mainly the main points...he wasnt that cruel to us to put in the hardcore calcuations.If you do the homework questions that helps a bit since the questions will reflect the chapter so its good for revision in the end.Besides you dont need to pass the final to pass the unit,just overall 50% will do.Passing is not hard but getting distinctions will make you work harder.
