[urgent] Finance major preference

[joe0625]

Hi I am studying Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting & Finance). Since I am mid-term intake, I have 2 more semesters to go before graduated.

Semester 1 (coming July)
1. AFC3120: Advanced financial accounting
2. AFC3131: Performance measurement and control
3. Finance major
4. Finance major

Semester 2 (Feb 2013)
1. AFC3160: Auditing and assurance
2. Finance major
3. Finance major
4. ATS1141: Japanese introductory

For the finance major, I am considering the following units:
AFC2240: Equities and investment analysis
AFC3230: Financial analysis and valuation
AFC3240: International finance
AFC3340: Options, financial futures and other derivatives
AFC3540: Modelling in finance

I have to choose 4 of the above finance units out of 5. Could anyone please give me some suggestion regarding the preference and how to allocate those units to my two semesters, so that can be spread more evenly.

Thanks for your help!!!

For this upcoming semester you should do AFC2240 and AFC3240.

AFC2240 is pretty easy and straight forward.

AFC3240 is taken by Elaine Hutson (the new lecturer who just started this semester), the course may change a bit next semester, but still quite an easy unit.

AFC3230 and AFC3540 are not offered next semester, so you can't do it even if you wanted to.

Then do AFC3230 and AFC3540 (note that AFC3340 is very very hard so unless you're quite prepared ignore this unit )

Oh really?! I am considering studying AFC2240 and AFC3240 in the next semester as well.

Yup they're pretty good units, however AFC3230 and AFC3540 are probably the 2 most useful finance units you can do, so definitely do them the semester after.

Hey guys, I'm doing the BCom (Accounting & Finance) and this is my first year at uni. I was wondering whether i should do AFC2140 in my second semester or maybe choose ECC1100? Help would be much appreciated

Both are very straightforward. ECC1100 in Semester 1 was only MC for the mid-sem and end of semester exam.
AFC2140 has a little bit of maths, but it's very basic and the lecturer (Au Yong) goes through it in quite a bit of detail.
You should be able to handle both quite easily.

I see, thanks for that. I might as well just stick with AFC2140 as i will eventually have to do it for my finance major. in terms of textbooks, which should i get?
1. Fundamentals of Corp Finance (Prescribed)
2. Business Finance 10ed (Recommended)
3. Principles of Corp Finance (Recommended)

Realistically you dont need the textbook... get the prescribed one only for the questions, but the books are readily available at the library.

Also I would recommend doing afc2140 and afc2000 in the same semester as there is alot of overlap (afc2000/ecc1100 also have overlap)

make sure you check the dates when your subject is available as afc3540 is only avaiable semester 1 and afc3340 is only available in semester 2.
