I'm pretty sure there are definitions at the back of the busman textbook. At least, for 'Key concepts of business management' there were.

Can you find the definitions in the study design?

The definitions in the textbook are usually sufficient. I wouldn't bother learning "VCAA definitions" as they are often longer and more complex than what you actually need to write to do well.

There's no definitions in the study design but if you look at past papers you'll get an idea of what they typically ask.

I've been told they should word for word in the exams.

do you recommend us reading the whole study design for our specific 3/4 subject or just the first AOS so were ready for the first assessment our school gives. It will be hard retaining knowledge from the whole study design.

Also what do people mean when they say they look at the study design and make dot points?

I never read the whole study design (SD) last year. I just took it one AOS at a time. I don't think there's much point in worrying about that stuff which aren't relevant to you at the time. That being said some may benefit from browsing through the SD to get a general idea of what they will be doing over the year. It's really a personal preference of whether you prefer to take it step by step or you wish to have an idea of what's going to be happening the whole year.

Also what do people mean when they say they look at the study design and make dot points?

The study design has "key knowledge" for each AOS which sets out all the information/topics you are assessed on in that AOS, what they mean is that you should use these key knowledge dot points as the headings and sub-headings of your notes to ensure 1) you learn everything and 2) you don't waste time writing notes on irrelevant stuff (some textbooks tend to go into extraneous details which you need to weed out when studying).

What I meant was, that you had to remember the definitions word for word from the textbook ! Or at least that was what our teacher made us do !
Sorry if I was not clear

it's not necessary to learn them word for word but they must usually be a sentence or more. Also don't write things like the definition of market share is an organisation's share of the market. Vcaa trolled everyone this year and put definitions that weren't in the textbook at all but they were pretty much self explanatory

So learn the study design definitions?  Could you link me to it?  Cause i can't find it.
