well how about a rundown of the course

* it provides detailed info about businesses- in the area of finance, marketing, change, employment relations, as well as about global businesses.

* it is theory based, it has lots of content, but its useful and some is general knowledge.

* its not that difficult of a course

* the hsc exams is set out as follows:
- 20 multis
- 5 short answer which include a,b,c ...
-1 business report
- 1 extended response (can be business report or essay format)
nicely explained without wings :) :uhhuh:

It's really easy and interesting, basically if you use your common sense you'll excel. It's not a subject where you can really rote learn the textbook and then go really well in the exam, you have to understand it and be able to integrate your own ideas and conclusions.

rote learning is when you teach yourself
No, its where you memorise content out of the textbook or some other source.

i dun see what everyone is so worried about.

Business studies is the one EASIEST subject in the world.
essentially becoz all the concepts you will come across are strightforward in nature.

in fact, doing business studies requires nothing but common sense and a bit of bullshit. its one of those subjects where u can just bluff ur way thru.....

agreed wif mandy: you can really rote learn the textbook and then go really well in the exam, you have to understand it and be able to integrate your own ideas and conclusions

basically s/he is saying business studies is a bullshitting subject.
