Well I just got a call from the Law faculty who told me I can't apply for a Diploma in Languages unless I have already completed 48 credit points with a credit average. I'm fairly sure getting a credit average isn't too challenging for my first year commerce units but I've heard with law units getting anything higher than credit is considered in huge achievement. From people with past experience, how much effort would I need to devote to my law units and how difficult is it to maintain a credit average or above, keeping in mind that compared with the rest of the class I will probably have the intellectual capacity of a dugong?
Out of the compulsory 1st year BComm units you should definitely do stats and management if you want to get a good 1st-year average... those units are sooo easy. I also recommend putting off business law for similar reasons... there's a general consensus that it is the most difficult of all the compulsory 1st year units... my transcript agrees.
stats? really?
just looking through the stats textbook gives me heartfailure atm
The stats uniy over view did look pretty complex. Why exactly is it so easy? What exactly do you do in that unit (The overview in the handbook seemed very technical)?
Taking Fyrefly's advice, my commerce units now look as follows:
Semester 1:
AFC1000 Principles of accounting and finance
ECC1000 Principles of microeconomics
Semester 2:
ETC1000 Business and economic statistics
MGC1010 Introduction to management
From people in the know, any specifically bad decisions here if my aim is to get a Credit average? How much of a disadvantage will I be in if I do AFC1000 and ECC1000
without doing VCE Economics or Accounting? I hear AFC1000 is just a complete rehash of VCE Accounting, is this true?
