depends on your subject, your unit guide on blackboard should list the relevant text books. But I reckon you shoulnt buy em yet, heard they were changing the books for some subject, so better wait for your lecturers. Unless you're pretty sure and spot some good deal on the noticeboards

though I reckon you shouldn't waste too
mcuh money on textbooks, some
like accountig you definitely need, but you'd probably ony use marketing and management for assignments, might as well get em from the library.

Microecons textbook would e helpful if you're the study type, textbook explains a lot, but then again, library has a ton of old copies(old version, but pretty much same content)

Oh LOL OOPS Which one was you? I was in the front half somewhere. Got scared by the BCS powerpoints Sigh wonder how to concentrate on studying and work hard while adapting to life in Clayton, if I get to go on exchange next year.

Er, WES still won't let me do anything. According to my friend in School of Arts, also same for her. But the IT problem more geram because we kena kick from ITS to IT Course Management to Student Services and still no resolution. The comps in the lab also won't let certain people sign in.


That learning skills talk was really painful. I could see people playing Temple Run in Audi 1 worst part was my laptop wouldn't connect to the internet so I had to use my phone to Facebook. Carried a 2kg deadweight around the whole day for nothing like that.

yes i'm from business and commerce, i would say textbooks are important to help you extend your knowledge beyond lecture notes to assist you to score higher for your finals?

sometimes lecture notes might be too brief, whereas textbooks can give more detailed information of real world examples.

i have plenty of year 1 unit textbooks.

u would definitely might require these, as they are your core units which is compulsory.

afw1000 principles of accounting and finance
ecw1101 microeconomics
ecw1102 macroeconomics
btw1200 business law
afw1300 money and capital markets (i advise you to take second semester)
etw1000 business and economics statistics

if you're interested, can pm me.

young guy spiky hair wit the sweater lol...
do u have any programming or IT background?
cause i was from a pure science background and i survived BCS lolx...

anyways the basic thing i learn about BCS core (Comp Science, Algo and Data Structures and the 3rd year unit which i forgotten the name) is that pay attention to understanding instead of memorizing...
i usually dont write notes during lecture and jz focus on trying to understand lolx...
the moment u understand how things are modeled and process, everything becomes much easier...
i can help u if u have any question on those units (though i dun remember tat well anymore haha)...

not sure what's wrong, maybe the system crash did roll back everything...
try it tomorrow and see cause i am involved with the orientation stuffs at all since i am on the research side...

Haha, alright, we'll see how it goes. I don't remember seeing you because honestly la the whole day seeing all the new places and all the new faces, I felt so lost by the end. The campus is quite small (well compared to the Australian ones like Clayton) but everything is connected. I'm lucky I found Room 9303 at all.

Actually I was having problems doing it since yesterday but I thought it was because I was supposed to do it with the rest of the school.

Hi,

You might also try putting it up on bukuku.mywww.bukuku.my

Listing books is free. I hope you can sell out your books soon. It will help many first year students.

Cheers.

got the email around 6am that the system been restored =p

I just did it on my iPhone Should I go for the mingle session tomorrow? Kinda malas.

Hey any special procedure to connect to wifi using laptop? I'm using Chrome and it wouldn't bring up the login page but it works fine using my phone.

none i think...
maybe u need to set ur DNS to auto detect?
cause the uni uses its own DNS...

I'm using OpenDNS at home. I'll try setting the DNS to auto-detect tomorrow. Thanks bro!

yeah tat should be the problem...
even when i direct connect my laptop (via the LAN port), the net wont work unless i change back to auto detect =p

For business u do not need the statistics book.. U can buy it for extra practice but if your stats in alevels/pre-u was good I'd say its not required.. I survived stats 1102 with just the past year Q and attended all the tutes. Unless you are dead set on transferring out to clayton/caulfield then you'd look into taking stats 1000. 1102 was a walk in the park if u did stats up to level 3 in a levels XD

As for micro econs 1101 whichever version u buy also the same. Supply and demand etc has never changed over the years. maybe the examples changed a little but the important part is that u read the book, not worry bout which edition it is.

I'm accepting my offer late(just paying my fees tomorrow) so which means I am missing out on the whole orientaton week, especially the Enrolment session which I heard is oh-so important. Anyone care to fill me in the details which I MUST know? I'm a BBusCom student by the way.

Hey guys. I'm done with arranging my first semester timetable. But for the auto allocated ones, I can't find the 'Pick Me' option to add it to my timetable.

There is only one possible choice for this group and it is automatically displayed only below, but this does not mean you are allocated!
If you have been successfully allocated to this activity it will appear under 'My Allocations'

I can't find My Allocations as well. -.-
