When I read the page it says 363/390 students, IT boom over the last 2 weeks perhaps? Or did I read it wrong?

Surely you can skip FINS2643, why wealth management?

What's a CSP?

I think the attendance is the assessment for Labs, which is 5 worth marks. 2 quizzes in tutorial classes 5 marks each. Mid-session at randwick 20 marks. Finals at randwick 65 marks.

Ok this is what I understand. Actuarial studies = specialised financial math in dealing with insurance premium calculations. Finance = theories dealing with raising capital for business, mergers, dividends, instruments involved such as share and bond price.. etc. Accounting = reporting and...

Do the computing 1 in first session, if you don't you might run into some trouble later on with clashes. Also, FINS1612 can be easily skipped since it's not prerequisite to most of the finance subjects.

Yes, don't stress too much now. Commerce degree is pretty flexible, timetables normally won't clash even for 2nd and 3rd year students, while if you're doing science it seems to clash all the time.

Have you read this thread: http://community.boredofstudies.org/136/faculty-commerce/98027/lectures-tutes.html

I thought 1A is not offered in 2006 since it's replaced by computing 1. And I thought computing 2 requires comp1091, which is slightly different to computing 1, comp1911.

That's great, hated HSC hisics. One question, what textbook did you guys use? Is the textbook useful, or is it pretty much useless since it's based on lecturers materials?

Yes that's a wise decision. Get the prerequisites done first so you have more choices later on to play your timetable with. And yes, corequisite means studied it earlier or alongside, so you definately can do FINS1613 without 1612 in second session providing you do the commerce cores in order.

Sorry, I take that back then, let's just say that the core is harder.

Around 2 pages per week, maybe 20-30 pages in total? I'm not sure. The "good" student should read at least 70% of the micro/macro book. You would only skip the stuff that is not covered in the course, but pretty much most of the book is covered. However, you can get away with not reading a lot...

Yeah IB is tough, but you don't really need to do finance to get in. When I say tough, I mean it's tough at uni, like the accounting subjects are much harder than finance. Yeah, it's the same for everyone I reckon. I tried harder for accounting than economics, but the mark difference between...

FINS1613 doesn't require 1612. If you want CA accreditation and also double major, it's better to skip 1612 as you may not have enough credit points to play with. And it's recommended by the school of finance that you skip 1612 if you are double majoring, you can check with them if you want. But...
