Commerce

[costargh]

Thanks
I'll respond to both points.

1) If I do start this bridging course, it will be VERY soon, within the next week or so I would presume. I need to call up/e-mail and get some more information about the structure of the course and other stuff. From what I can tell, the course seems to be a lot less intense then the methods course, but maybe thats just me seeing 4 modules and thinking thats easier.

    * Module 1: Introduction to Functions;
    * Module 2: Coordinate Geometry and Trigonometry;
    * Module 3: Calculus and its Applications; and
    * Module 4: Financial Mathematics and Statistics.

By no means do I think this would be easy. God no! I want to know what this is going to be like in terms of difficulty before I embark on it. If the workload and the difficulty of the course is going to be better than methods than I will probabbly do it. If it's going to be like redoing methods again but in 3 months then thats just stupid because I know that won't happen. The thing with this, from what I can tell, is that I need 75% on the 2 exams (or the average of those to be 75?... I'll find out). This to me indicates that it might not be as hard as the methods course because it seems stupid that they would expect 75% on this exam to be equal to 75% on the methods exam, unless they just delibretly want a higher standard of requirements from this bridging course. I dont think I'd get into Melb Uni anyway, so I have to check with Monash Uni if they accept this bridging course or if they have similar bridging courses.

2) Can sum this up. I'm not applyin for RMIT, Deakin , La Trobe or ACU because if I dont get into commerce I will do Bachelor of Business at Monash Caulfield which is basically commerce but at Caulfield campus. Unless I completly screw up im sure ill get 82 ish

aha! i shall reply to the reply to point 2 first:

2) nice! so long as you don't apply for irregular offers before you are accepted into a course. speak to your careers advisor about how the process actually works.

1) haha, it's not any less than the methods course. [if not more] It's just covered in a more "uni" style, that is a tiny bit of theory, and the applications of it is left to yourself [i.e. work through your textbook].
The methods course itself only has 4 areas of study: algebra, functions and graphs, calculus and probability
i see a fair bit of overlap with further if you are doing the right modules [trig and financial math]. enjoy and good luck!

[costargh]

2) I would only apply for an irregular offer after I got an offer for first round. Wouldnt that make sense? Why would I apply for an irregular offer before I got an offer?

1) Oh damn. lol, well my brother did Uni maths last sem and is doing 2 subjects for maths this semester so he should be able to help me. I'm just wondering how much actual work there is in this subject/course thing... we are doing trig and geometry in further, financial maths and statistics isnt in the methods course from what i remember and that sounds easier/ more furtherish then the other bits to it. I do have some understanding of the methods course... I just never knew what to do in what situation... coudlnt interpret questions

[Mao]

2) maybe i was under the wrong impression then. Do the results from UniLearn get sent to VTAC prior to the offer process? If not, it is highly probable that to utilise the creditation from this UniLearn you must directly apply to the universities, i.e. direct entry/irregular offer. I suggest you to talk to your VCE coordinator/careers advisor about the details

1) you will be required to put in however much time the thing says you will need to, if not more.

[costargh]

2) I think they would be sent to VTAC. I'll have to check.

1) This is sounding like an unrealistic option every hour more i think about it

the clearly in at melbourne is 95.xx

with the phasing out of full fee paying places, you would expect that score to come down slightly, no?

come down? you would expect it to go up wouldn't you? it's like the only career-focused degree left in the whole melb model.

financial maths and statistics isnt in the methods course from what i remember and that sounds easier/ more furtherish then the other bits to it.

no way is it easy like further. if it is anything like the financial maths and statistics at UoM, you would have needed to take first year calculus and linear algebra which builds on specialist mathematics

Its too fucking hard to get into at Melbourne these days. Ridiculous.

[Ken]

on the engineering booklet for 2009, i saw that for bachelor of commerce the 'ENTER standard 2009' was 91.....o.o

[Docklands]

i noticed that, im not really sure how that works.

I'm really keen on Commerce at Melbourne, and am going to try and get there through an arts course.

I'm planning to do that Maths thing, as soon as I get back from schoolies.

I need 75% on my arts subjects, and then its possible to transfer.

Anyone recommend some subjects? Business related.

My biggest fear is missing out on being able to transfer. If this were the case, would I be stuck in an arts course, or could I transfer to Monash Commerce from Melb Arts?

Exactly the same as my fears
Hmm, if you look at some previous pages of this thread, u will see that i have suggested quite a few options for subjects you can do in arts which are compulsory subjects for the commerce course.
Although i am not exactly sure as to how many of them you may be able to do

[costargh]

I want someone to draw up for me the most commerce related Arts program you could possibly do at Melbourne for first year. That would be heaven. (it would have to take into consideration that I need to complete the maths methods equivalent subject in first semester).

If anyone does this for me, I will + karka them for the rest of their life.
PLEASE

The Math requirement for Commerce is Quant. Methods.

Do that and you should be fine. I think there's only one other subject like for your discipline that you needa complete (like Finance 1 for Finance).
