i just wanted 2 no wat are the pros and cons of doing business studies?????

 

[k_m]

yeh but i still want to get a faiR idea!

 

[goan_crazy]

its personal decision, different ppl would view it differently. some may say that aspects of the course are pros, others are cons

Yeah exactly as above
pro id say of business is that its not too bad
con is that its alot of info

 

[goan_crazy]

well how about a rundown of the course

* it provides detailed info about businesses- in the area of finance, marketing, change, employment relations, as well as about global businesses.

* it is theory based, it has lots of content, but its useful and some is general knowledge.

* its not that difficult of a course

* the hsc exams is set out as follows:
- 20 multis
- 5 short answer which include a,b,c ...
-1 business report
- 1 extended response (can be business report or essay format)

nicely explained without wings :uhhuh:

business is my fave subject, but i have an awsome teacher. its a really easy and interesting course... but like someone else said, theres sooo much writing. its the most writing out of all my subjects. i used 3 fat books through year 11 alone!

but the work is all interesting and fun.

i think its learning by writing

its a personal thing

rote learning is when you teach yourself

pro

in an exam

• the multiple choice questions and short answer take way less time so u have more time on the response

It's really easy and interesting, basically if you use your common sense you'll excel. It's not a subject where you can really rote learn the textbook and then go really well in the exam, you have to understand it and be able to integrate your own ideas and conclusions.

 

[Mandy101]

rote learning is when you teach yourself

No, its where you memorise content out of the textbook or some other source.

i dun see what everyone is so worried about.

Business studies is the one EASIEST subject in the world.
essentially becoz all the concepts you will come across are strightforward in nature.

in fact, doing business studies requires nothing but common sense and a bit of bullshit. its one of those subjects where u can just bluff ur way thru.....

 

[zergcave]

agreed wif mandy: you can really rote learn the textbook and then go really well in the exam, you have to understand it and be able to integrate your own ideas and conclusions

basically s/he is saying business studies is a bullshitting subject.
