I just done some research, some feedbacks from this forum suggests that MGMT1001 is more like a WAM killer, "http://community.boredofstudies.org/136/australian-school-business/300149/first-year-commerce-subjects.html", are the responses an irony or are you just kidding me :caffeine:

I've heard ECON1101 is apparently not too difficult if you know your prelim/HSC economics. Though I have no idea about it because I don't do any of those in the list above.

Also, the ease is subjective to the person and what they have done (as in their prior education and knowledge to the content in the course).

ECON1101 is more chilled, don't have to put much effort in.

But I reckon ACCT1501 is more easier.

Accounting requires quite a bit of thought to get your head around at first (unless you're somehow able to rote learn it). I personally found it really hard and nearly failed the practice set back in the day! IMO if you're not planning to pursue this, pick something wafflier and easier to pick up. Not sure how you got your list of subjects though.

Mgmt courses will never be wam booster whatsoever

Econ1101 and ACCT1501 are both easy but I would probably say ACCT1501 coz when I did my econ1101 they tend to mark quite harshly for the finals.

ECON1101 is an easy 90+. MGMT1001 is awful; I had some Indian tutor with the longest name I've ever seen who couldn't speak a lick of English and gave everyone like 50% in the essays and reports.

Just to brag, i got mid D, without using the references in the first essay.
