Hey there.
I'm probably gonna fail MGW too. Wondering if I have to retake. I can't meet the hurdle. Can I just sit for the supplementary exam instead?

I'm currently doing Business and Commerce. Just wondering how important are results in regard to future job prospects?
How much emphasis do employers place on CGPA?

Hello. I applied for Bachelor of Business and Commerce at Monash Sunway for Feb intake.

1. First, I would like to know how are the lecturers for this degree? Are they good (if you transferred to Caulfield/Clayton, are they as good as the lecturers there)?

2. How many students are there in one class usually? Are there like few classes taking the same degree as in like same intake but different class?

3. I was thinking of transferring to Caulfield for either Bachelor of Business or B.Commerce majoring accountancy in the second year. I want to know whether it would be hard? Will my final cert show one degree or Bachelor of Business and Commerce degree?

4. And if anyone transferred, can you tell me your experience? Was it hard blending in? Was the course structured very different? And is the lecturer very hard to understand?

Please reply because I need to make urgent decisions. Thank you very much >_<

I actually got the offer for Bachelor of Business in Monash Berwick campus. But I'm unsure of enrolling there because the degree was just establish this year. There are quite little students there (I heard). I prefer a more friendly environment with loads of people. I have also read a few forums that international students are not really welcome warmly there.

Hi, I'm a 2nd year Business and Commerce student smile.gif
1. Monash lecturers are highly qualified, with years of experience behind them. They are really helpful, they'd be happy to help you with any problems. All my lecturers so far are PhD holders. Though I have not transferred to Caulfield or Clayton, I would think there is no real way to compare between the lecturers here and there. Of course, some would be better than the others. A few lecturers in the Sunway campus are actually the head examiners for their particular subjects so I guess the lecturers here and there are more or less equal.

2. In lectures, there could be anywhere from about 100-200+ students. There are a few tutorial classes with different time slots to choose from for each subject. Each tutorial class is usually limited to about 20 or so students (choose early for best time wink.gif ).

3. http://www.monash.edu.au/admissions/internal-transfer/
Overall, its quite easy to to transfer. Your final cert will show the Bachelor of Business and Commerce degree AND your what you have majored in (Accounting and Finance for example if you're doing a double degree).

4. From what a senior told me, its not hard blending in. There are many Malaysians there, some of which are from the same batch with you. Course structures and subjects available vary for different campuses, so its important to plan your course beforehand. Understanding lecturers would not be a problem, as they do speak English tongue.gif

Thanks for the opinions. I'm really grateful!
If I can, may I know what are you majoring in now? How was your first year? How would you rate the difficulty of getting average of 70% overall in the first year? smile.gif
Btw, do you choose the tutorial class after orientation day?

I'm majoring in Finance and Economics smile.gif

I got better results in my second semester than my first semester. (Slacked off during the first sem, studied last minute for finals, I'm a lazy guy sweat.gif )
It's not exactly rare for people to get an average of 70%. I would think about 30~40% of students get an average of 70% or above in their first year. Since you mentioned you are an average student you might have to put in a little more effort than usual to get a 70% average.
Tests are usually easier than assignments (to me at least). Just plan your time properly and you'll be fine wink.gif
