2010 EXAM THOUGHTS

[burbs]

Hmm. I'm not sure, it depends more on what you wrote in those two lines.

As it is, I'd forget about the exam. Monday are results so just relax.

Easy for you to say, you got 50 in the bag hahaha

I'm putting it anywhere between 35 and 50, too difficult to tell

Oh yeah for the selection process, you didnt need to have a beginning / middle / end process. You just needed to provide 3 or 2 ( with thorough explanation)  steps FROM ANYWHERE of the selection process, to obtain full marks.  Source: i peeked through a window when my teacher was marking bus man exams / and she told me today.

Yessss!!!!
That was basically the only question I was really worried about

yeah she said she signed some confidentiality agreement to not speak to students about the marking process but gave that up after she heard her teacher friends talking to their students. Thumbs up for semi- corruption......

Amen to that, thanks for the good news (hopefully)

I gave the whole 5 stage process but i wouldn't say i went into terrible detail. will i be penalised for  that??

At least is even an understatement...

as for the debate at hand, the reason why so few steps are needed (3) is because there are several different processes, and only a few are covered in textbooks that range from 4-9 steps. For this reason, if you have learnt the 4 step process, how can you get marked less than the 9 step process purely because it has less steps. I know that for the one I did, although it had only a few steps, it still included stages that showed a clear process from enticing applicants in, measuring their suitability, and then selecting/notifying applicants.
I think it's more of a case of how well you expand your steps and link it back to the case study...


But as Burberry said, Monday the results are out, we may as well just chilax until then and debate when we get our SoM haha

knew it would be the exam that killed me

A, A+, B+ and got a 37.

20 MARKS ON THEORIES/MOTIVATION/HRM??
20 MARKS ON OPERATIONS
10 ON CHANGE WTF NO KOTTER GTFO
10 ON OTHER SHIT WTF IS THIS CRAP

this did not even reflect the new study design, nothing on kotter, nothing on ER,
/rant

EDIT: now that i've calmed down it was more like
4 on stakeholders
6 on management structures
5 marks on KPI's
15-20ish for operations management (6 marks on ESM, about 10 on strategies)
5 on the selection process.. er okay?
10 on change management (still no kotter )
15 on motivation theories/human resource management
0 on employee relations (centralised and decentralised.. wow the most unexpected thing ever)
5 on management styles
0 on POLC ..wow gtfo

yeah i agree i was stumped by the wording of the exam in some areas, like strategies was so broad.. my hand was kinda bruised after the exam. didn't reflect study design - I think they may have tried to make the exam 'easier' since its the first one after the study design change, and there were no similar 65 mark vcaa past papers to practice from.

_avO - dont worry, just get into the course you want in uni and enjoy high school and vce will seem as relevant as justin bieber afterwards.
