306106 Accounting Processes and Analysis (used to be Business Process Analysis) (can anyone who's done this describe how it's like?  )

Absolutely awful subject I thought. It is an accounting subject, but theres no numbers. It focuses on the flow of data/information and how these processes within the business allow things like a sale to take place. It bored the living shit out of me (I quite enjoyed ARA and ATA mind you), but it's not overly difficult. After each week I'd ask myself 'What have I actually learnt in this subject?' and I could never really answer that question. Bring your common sense to the exam and you're almost certain to get 70+ even with minimal study. Probably my least favourite subject so far at uni.

BUT YOU MIGHT LIKE IT..? Haha

Haha yeah, it was pretty awful. I stopped going to lectures half way through, Trevor's jokes got to be too much

[Ilovemathsmeth]

Ahh right. I'm not taking it, but do you find it useful for Cost Management Jamison? Because I'm trying for Actuarial, but if I don't like it, I want to go for Accounting.

I hear you loud and clear.

Can't really say sorry, haven't started Cost Management yet

However, isn't it one of the prereqs? I doubt it would be that useful anyway....

[Ilovemathsmeth]

It is unfortunately a pre-req

620-154 Calculus 1
610-101 Chemistry 1
800-001 Mind, Brain and Behaviour 1
316-102 Introductory Microeconomics

I have absolutely no idea why I'm doing 800-001.

What majors interest you?

If it's something health related, then do physics, chemistry and biology. If your aspiring to become a psychologist (you probably aren't because you don't like writing) then stay with psychology or if you would like to pursue maths then swap psychology with physics.

I'm leaning towards Mathematics and Statistics if I have to stay in science so I'm really not sure which other subjects complement my major.  I know physics does, but having done two years of VCE physics and skimming the surface of the iceberg, I really didn't enjoy physics.

It's sort of weird because some people say that if you enjoy maths, then you should enjoy physics as well but with me I enjoy maths but absolutely loathe physics with passion.

What is Accounting Reports and Analysis actually adn what's it like? I'm doing it in second semester purely based on the recommendation given to me by the student advisor that it's useful across all commece fields.

This isn't exactly true. The two are very different from eachother, maths is the language of physics, but the way you use maths in physics is different to just doing maths.

I enjoyed maths from year 8 (arithmetic annoyed me, but once we started other stuff it became really interesting) and because I loved space from a really young age and then became interested in the atom, etc. I then considered physics and loved it (From year 9 I wanted to become a nuclear physicist). I was told that if I love physics, then I should love engineering, but I loathed it.

ARA is the foundation accounting subject that introduces you to the fundamental concepts and rules of financial accounting. I didn't do VCE Accounting, but from what people have told me who did do it, it is extremely similar. It isn't overly difficult if you put in a bit of work and are good with numbers. Although I didn't personally, a lot of people dislike this subject because they're reccommended to do it then hate accounting.
