Just wondering if anyone has done personal financial planning, is it any good?
ive done GENC3003 "Personal Financial Planning" this session
i thought it would be crap, but it's turned out to be really good. however you have to be really quick to enrol - it fills up in a day or two.
the lecturer is a professional financial planner, and he is very engaging and good to listen to - the 2 hours don't feel nearly as slow as a maths lecture....
it's not the easiest gen ed in terms of marks though - you have to track your expenses in minute detail for 8 weeks, which is hard if you're like me and leave everything to the night before. Also, the tests (even though they are multiple choice and open book) are actually really hard for a gen ed. i think i'll be lucky to get a distinction in this one
however, on the whole, the course is really interesting and useful (unlike another gened i did - "contemporary bioethics")
if you have any questions about it, feel free to ask here or send me a PM
