Wah so rich ah, study all paper in Sunway. Ha Ha, Joking only la!

But you must work very hard if you choose to study in Sunway, cos not much experience lecturer there.

I heard some bad news oso, Ms Menon no longer teaching F7 next sitting onward  cry.gif  cry.gif (If I'm wrong, then sorry lo)
*
for the next year, Menon will give up teaching for F7 and focus on P2, mainly because her workload is too much

I guess i'm comfortable with Sunway, why do you guys say that the lecturers are inexperienced? I think the lecturers are very dedicated and I can understand what they teach.

Ya, cause more and more students taking up accountancy courses nowadays, at least she is still teaching P2.

well is good for her to focus her teaching in P2 and ICAEW

as far as i know, if this sitting the requirement not up to standard, Sunway might lose the platinum status

She's teaching ICAEW as well?

Didn't know Sunway Platinum status is on jeopardy. I've heard that the results have dropped for certain papers. Perhaps after this, they would be more strict in barring students who did not fare well in their mock exams or progress test.
*
yup, i think she teaching ICAEW as well
Menon is a lecturer treat teaching as a hobby, she will not put money as priority, thats why she is the only good lecturer left from the good old days

for platinum status, the passing rate of 11 out of 14 papers in ACCA must be higher than the average world passing rate, and the 3 core paper passing rate must exceed 50% (correct me i'm wrong)

and guys please stop flaming each other, it look so unprofessional sleep.gif

I would like to say sorry to everybody here since I put that chinese word.

But member Rvelos truely no point, I never heard ACCA ppl from Sunway can got more value in CV.

Once you grad, boss only interest your ACCA and not your college. That's why some ppl own study ACCA, but boss oso will accept.

I never heard Sunway ACCA student more value than KSA/Mc Orange ACCA student. Truely STUPID

but there is a fact that Sunway student got privilege for entering EY

I spoke to another lecturer about this combination

F4 F5 F6 F9

F7 F8 P1 P3

P2 and remaining optional papers

She said not advisable to do P3 without P2 knowledge, she suggest

F7 F8 P1 P2, but F7 and P2 are long study hours paper, this 4 papers combination means 36 hours a week.

What do you guys say?

i'll recommend u to take F7, then the next sem for p2

Today I heard that people say auditors are petty, particular, calculative and analytical. In this thread, it is proven true.

Is F7 and P2 exam on the same time?

Added on November 19, 2008, 7:20 pm

I guess that is not necessary already  smile.gif It will start the Sunway vs KL colleges again  sweat.gif

yes is on the same date

QUOTE(carlosandy @ Nov 21 2008, 02:00 AM)
If you don't believe me, you can go to try F4 lecturer in Sunway and KSA, then you will know what is the reason.

I know you haven't start ACCA yet, that's why you always thinking ACCA is just like CAT or SPM, every day study hard in library then can get good result. But when you start study, then you will know more.

Please also go to refer 1st page of this ACCA forum for the recommendation of lecturer, beside Menon, you will see nobody will recommend other Sunway lecturer.

I can tell you some story oso. Do you know that a lot of lecturer also hate Mr Teo(Sunway Director)? Lecturer like Choong Kwai Fatt totally don't like Mr Teo, even if they work together only b'cos of money, no friendship.

Of course study in Sunway also got a lot of advantages, but for lecturer, sorry lo, Mr Teo only know how to bu shit lecturer until all the ACCA famous lecturer leave (except for Menon)
*
i know why those experience lecturer left Sunway, mainly because of Mr Teo
i told u, Menon treat teaching as a hobby, she will not bother about salary

surprisingly F7 is much more easier compare to last 2 sitting, especially the question 5
q1 - pure calculation of group, no theory part
q2 - pure calculation also, no theory
q3 - ratio, 8 marks for calculation, 12 marks for comment about the company's ratio and performance, 5 marks for weaknesses ratio
q4 - IAS37 contingent asset, liability and provision
q5 - IAS16, what should expenses should be capitalised and calculate the depreciation etc, 10 marks calculation

Oh that. I was one of the students. It happened when I failed my F4, F7 and F9. I requested to just attended the F7 classes with Menon and choose to self study F4 and F9. They didn't allow me to take just one subject(as a full time student la. But it seems they wouldn't mind if you were a part time) and insist that I attend all the F4 and F9 resit classes in Sunway

Due to this strange policy I quit Sunway. The lecturers there are quite okay, but if there's one thing I dislike about Sunway, I would say it's the management system.

Another question from Sunway students, I heard that they are offering some English course to the ACCA student. Mind to clarify this?
*
they won't allow u to take 1 paper in one sem, u have to meet Miss Emily in person to get the approval

QUOTE(Raymond_ACCA @ Feb 28 2009, 07:08 PM)
Not sure what it means when I heard rumour of "force"

But yeah, the bottomline is, Sunway management really cari pasal. When fulltime wanna change part time, must pay transfer fees RM300. I go argue with the admin 1 hour, then go find Mr.Teo, ask him approve the waiver only can.

The lecturers are not at fault in this though. I think one of the reasons many leave Sunway (lecturers and students) may be due to their neverending motive of money making and implementing new stuff lol.

And yeah! The notes are really @@. Must line up and pay! If no need pay then I dont mind to line up.

Other options than big4? Banking, or commercial firms is a choice, i.e. post like management trainee..

But I duno if Ive been brain washed or not, I always feel getting exposure in the Big4 in External Audit is certainly a good kickstart to the career. Worse come to worse, suffer 3years, then ur in hot demand! Ive seen vacancies in high position requires candidates to possess at least 3 years in Big4.

But there are some cases, where a person works only 1 year in Big4, then he goes to Accenture. Not that the workload will decrease, the workload is still damn heavy, but I guess if passion is not in Audit, theres always other choice smile.gif.

their policy is annoying, u switch full-time to part time unless u pay, really troublesome doh.gif
