What's the price for the Wiley Principles of Accounting and Finance book (2nd edition)? Wanted to check just now but the shop is closed already. -.-

Rm75 or rm85 as I could remember

Wait until you hit Week 5 onwards......you will cry for mercy.....lolx!!

haha i dun think i have the time to manage it...

anyways from a personal point of view...
i kinda like how the course is handled...
most ppl have the wrong perception about comp science and i think monash really stresses on what comp science is about...
its not about coding or using software only but about understanding how things related to computers works and how they can be used to solve problems...
these are the basic which will help u in the industry especially adapting to their systems or their requirements...
think of it as physics for computers =p
and yeah, there is a lot of math involved at higher level (the math without numbers lolx)...
it really annoys me when ppl have a wrong misconception about comp science especially thinking it is a course for drop outs...
it is quite a difficult course and tat is why we are highly sought after (u can see lots of studies showing it as a top10 major in the world especially salary wise)

the selling point for a monash course in BCS is mostly the name itself which is valuable in MNCs as well as the industry ties...
after all, it is a internationally recognized uni with a campus here rather than twinning program etc...
overall i think the lecturers are ok and some are really really good (though my fav lecturer have left the uni to go back France)...
the resources with the uni is aplenty! you have access to so many databases and you get support from monash australia etc which made the education experience kinda complete... i have frens from other colleges who dun have access to journals/ databases which they require to do a proper research on =.="

lol I don't recommend buying this book...It is quite useless. If you need to read sections of the book as prescribed by the lecturer, then its better to just go to the library and find it there. You don't even need to read the parts the lecturer asks you to read as I remember it wasn't anything useful. But if you really want to, feel free to get the book

I literally didn't listen in lecture, and studied off powerpoint slides 3 days before the exam and I got D so yeah

haha. good information. thanks for sharing.
im enrolling today.

excellent notes though, helped me get a HD and mugged it kau kau like 2-3 days before onleh XD

I was a pure science student as well. But I took accounts in my foundation year.
Microeconomics is the basic of the basics. Since it's a core subject, they will teach you from the beginning as if you don't know a single thing about economics. I've never know what economics was all about but this subject wasn't that hard. You just have to understand the concept, draw the graphs and you'll be fine.

I have a question here...you have done microeconomic assignments right? For the source of article...must we use the journals provided in lib? The main purpose of having those journals are for assignments one right? Or we can google up our own articles?
Someone plz enlighten me

Ps: forgot to ask my tutor just now

You can google but most of the journals you find online will only give you the summary or the preview of it. Cause these journals are not free for all, you have to pay to get the full version. Basically most of the journals that you can find via google, you can also find on monash library database. The database also has Google Scholar which I find quite useful at times.

I was in the book store buying my programming book and decided to pick up the Mankiw only version of the ECW1101 book. I wonder what the advantages are of buying the more expensive version of that book?
