I did a similar subject and I would say it's similar to Business Management like you have done in VCE...

Lots of theory and I found it rather boring

micro, bus law, management and marketing. In stats you just describe the data and stuff, and Accounting you have a bit of theory.

i thought micro was mainly just math?

Macro = Broader. i.e whole regions. Countries. Like whole economies. Micro = smaller scale like supply and demand of a specific product.

Stats has some gay theory questions too sometimes.

The business course is pretty much a clone of Comm. And for our principles of accounting unit it was pretty much nap time if you have any accounting background.

Intro to Management is as boring as all shit... it's damn easy to pass though because the "potential exam questions" that one of the lecturers gives out throughout the semester... yeah... they're the exam questions almost word-for-word.

You won't get much out of AFC1000 given that most of the course is the same as VCE Accounting.

I actually quite enjoyed ECC1000... or you could always do MKC1200... David Toleman, one of the lecturers, is a lot of fun and the final exam is only worth 50%... during semester there are two multi-choice quizzes worth 20% each, and tutorial exercises (basically, your homework) are worth 10%. I'll be taking MKC1200 this semester, so we could end up in the same tute :P It's the only first-year subject I've still gotta do, because I dropped it a few weeks into last semester (long story).

Don't do Intro to Management unless you want to write a 1000 word essay worth 10%, a 3000 word essay worth 30% and memorise up to about 10 essays (they will be given out in lectures as fyrefly said), 6 of which you will have to write up in a 2 hour exam (50%) :P

I'll be taking MKC1200 this semester, so we could end up in the same tute :P
I'll be doing marketing too, but i'm not really looking forward to writing more essays in the exam :(
