Course Structure (2 Viewers)

[sy14]

Hi, i am planning out my course structure for bachelor of commerce and was just wondering what is the most effective way to organize it , what I mean by an effective way is which module I should take in the first semester and which in the second or else on the other hand does it even matter ? In the sense just put the modules as i wish regardless of it being semester 1 or 2. Thank you

Hi Sy,
http://sydney.edu.au/business/course/BCom

The above link provides some info about the basic structure of b.commerce. Your subjects for yr 1 are almost fixed, as most of them are core junior subjects that you have to take, you get more freedom of choosing subjects from yr 2. I think most business school subjects open for both semesters, so it won't really matter, but the more important thing is to know the relatively easier and harder subjects, obviously you'll get yourself into hard life if you put all hard subjects in one semester

Hey, on your comment about easy and hard subjects, it there a site listing the opinions for each subject offered by the sydney business school.

Unfortunately, school will never tell you this kind of info, you might ask your friends or anyone that know about this. BTW, in terms of S1 or S2, I actually find out that some subjects may only open for S1 or S2, below is the link for you to check, just click on the subject and the info will appear at the right column:

Hi guys,
The Counter Course handbook is sometimes useful when you're trying to work out what subjects/lecturers are good and which ones you should avoid. http://issuu.com/honi_soit/docs/counter-course-2014-online_4e7be4895d93d5

I wouldn't advise using the Counter Course Handbook for two reasons:

1. There is very little information about Business subjects in that publication.
2. The lefty propaganda is enough to make your head explode.

Now alternatively, you can use our own Bored of Studies Reviews (https://www.dropbox.com/s/us2da3p2ve4vz44/BOS Reviews.pdf?dl=0), which are much more impartial and cover a lot more ground.

that was a very detailed report , thank you for sharing it but what i was wondering is what is the minimum sample size of students who gave their views?

 

[Amundies]

1 review = 1 person. Whoever writes a review will get it posted up on the PDF (I assume). Not a proper document being made by USYD, it's literally a compilation of reviews that people have written on this forum.

 

[sy14]

is allocating units between sem1 and sem 2 like the way it is allocated in the sample degree progression on the uni website , the right way to follow? i mean is there a good mix of both easy and difficult units ?

We only have 5 courses for sem 1+2 for single degree commerce right?

Five compulsory cores, yes. People generally take 4 courses in each semester.

oh y is that so?

 

[superberlicious]

oh y is that so?

24 credit point usually equals full time study and there is a minimum number of junior credit points that need to be taken. Also, many take extra because their major requires junior units.

Just so you know, you have only chosen 18CP for each semester (BUSS1900 is worth 0 CP). If you're doing a full-time degree, you'll need to choose another 6 CP per semester (1 subject per semester) to make up the 24CP per semester required.

So do I pick another elective or something?

 

[Amundies]

Not a straight comm student, so you may want to make sure what I say is correct, but as long as you've enrolled in your 5 core subjects (6 including BUSS1900) for commerce you're allowed to choose any commerce subjects. I would say to enrol in junior level subjects that are pre-reqs for any majors you are thinking of doing e.g. ACCT1006 (for your accounting side) and since there are no pre-reqs for finance enrol in another junior elective unit that you find interesting. I believe you'll only start majoring in accounting and finance in your second year.

But as I said, not a straight comm student so haven't gone through this process, so you may want to wait for someone else to make sure what I said is correct and how things are usually done.

That looks fine! Are you looking to do the CPA accreditation for your Accounting major?
