I don't think you need a D average though; I'd say a Credit average is more than enough. But agreed that a straight Commerce degree is fine but one key thing is that most people undertake some form of extracurricular activities and/or work experience to develop the softer skills which employers...

LOL I am referring to the practical application of the BS model to valuation of options. What you learn in 2624 is just the formula and from memory you get given all the assumptions in nice easy-to-substitute numbers. I'm referring to the challenges and limitations in reality of using that data...

Well I put a lot of effort into 1612 and got an HD. Agreed it was nowhere near as hard as some of the later finance subjects but it still required quite a lot of effort. On another note to the above, finance can be broadly split into two categories- the quantitative and the qualitative...

If you PM me your first name/school then I might remember a bit better- I think I do. There's a reason why everyone I met I asked their name (by introducing myself) and then made a comment about school if I recognised the crest/logo/uniform. I've decided to adopt the common pronunciation of...

Yep I was there. :) I was wearing a yellow polo and jeans with a red and white horizontal striped jacket. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Given how many people talk up their ability at FINS1612, I ask how many people here got an HD in it.

Most features only work when the car isn't moving :( I also discovered it has Google Street View integrated into it now. Damn technology has become integrated.

I did FINS3630 BFM and it was peace of cake. The lecturer was a bit of an idiot and doesn't know much about banking (nor how to lecture), and he lectured on securitisation based on what he read on Wikipedia (great eh?)... that being said, the textbook (whilst full of errors) and the content, I...

But give it time and this sort of thing will become more mainstream and more common. After all, it's only a software feature.

Agreed with all the above. You'll look very keen and whilst I understand the importance of leaving a good impression, there's also a good chance that you won't be remembered in a years time (or the recruiters may even change). On the plus side though you'll get a feel for what you're signing up...

I went to Baulko and still went. Even wore a suit. It's not so much about boosting chances but rather it's about learning about what you're signing up for, getting a feel for the firms you are applying for so you know it's what you want, meeting people who may be your potential bosses (or...

PM'd you- was originally going to post here but realised it might be a bit too sensitive to be divulging into the public just for the sake of providing a personal insight. Please don't repost the PM here. One thing I will add here though is that you're right- there's always going to be short...

The other day I was driving and I noticed my satnav software had been automatically updated... to include Facebook? Whilst I appreciate the benefits of being able to post status updates from the car, share my location, find friends near me, and also automatically know where I'm going thanks...

You're learning basic concepts. After all, accounting is driven by a set of rules and principles which have been adopted worldwide and hence facilitate both acceptance and comparability. Without appreciation of this, your ability to go into the deeper concepts and issues such as the flaws and...

Let's see, you're basing your views on both uni and a tutor. I recommend you actually work in either of the industries (or both) and see it for yourself. I work in an accounting firm and one of the things I do is advise on the accounting implications of transactions and valuations of...

Promotion costs. Storing/packaging costs would typically be capitalised into inventory rather than being expensed to the P&L, and salaries/commissions are period P&L expenses which typically feed in to salaries/wages expense or commissions expense. Unlikely to be included in marketing expense...

Or maybe some people just remember core concepts and where to look? Unfortunately accounting in practice where we have to analyse and apply the standards is very different to what you studied in uni and many people who may have actually enjoyed it will never even give it a second look.

Per AASB 137:

Aww but then I'll miss out on awesome BoSers saying hello.

I think we figured that out by your previous post... what we were saying is that more likely than not it is you who will have to approach the reps if you want to start a conversation because they will be flat out talking to people.
