A great introductory course to business finance. The quantitative methods and processes that you learn in this uni are fundamental to understanding the world of finance and accounting well. It is taught well, and the course coordinators usually are always on hand to provide their unlimited support. The resources are good and lectures are not dry.

Great subject - full of maths if you like math, if you don't this subject isn't for you. Not engineering level hard but it definitely works your analytical skills.

Doing this unit in sem 1 (trimeters) was traumatising. The entire course was condensed into 10 weeks, so it was very rushed and difficult to understand.

Quite an interesting course covering a lot of fundamental areas of finance. A good introduction but a little bit dry. Assessments were too few and too heavily weighted

Semester 1 is no longer the easier time to do it as they have amped the difficult rate due to everyone picking it in Sem 1. Needs constant revision and although there is MyFinanceLab, I felt there was not enough practice as the final exam was straight out of no where. Would recommend you get a lot of help if you want to do well.

The difficulty depends on the semester you take. Do it in sem 1 (easier). Robert is a fantastic lecturer. If you have the korean guy, you're screwed. He made extremely difficult exam (but scale later though). Content-wise, the course is pretty useful and provides good foundational knowledge to upper finance courses.

Do it in the first semester with Robert. Its a lot easier. he explains concepts very well. you learn basic finance topics like bonds, equity, capital budgeting. Do different types of questions in each topic so you know how to solve problems faster in the final exam.

Rob is a great lecturer & sets out quizzes and finals in a way that encourages you to think outside the box, yet still encapsulate what you actually learn. Finals are obviously harder but will do fine if you actually study

Mixed feelings about this subject. Some of the content is interesting but I found most of the course fairly boring. First quiz is pretty easy, second one was much harder. Rob Tumarkin was fantastic, other lecturers not so much. Lots of practice material. MyFinanceLab is free marks, do it.

Found this to be my most boring subject. It is very dry, and tutorial homework consisted of quizzes that could be assisted so 100% everytime with no intuition. Some questions were tough in the assessments and required good knowledge of formulas and out of the box thinking.
