another paper over and done with..

another exam paper over and done with last Saturday.. International Business Part 1: The Global Environment.. I spent 3 days doing last minute studying in SIM with my classmates..

Most of us have the same strategy.. we pick and choose the topics that we are comfortable with.. knowing that FDI is important, naturally everybody studied FDI and I think most of us answered the 2 FDI questions, Qn 5 and 8.. I stayed away from any questions that is related to trade theory, old or new.. and I answered the question on globalisation, Qn1, because I think I have more points there compared to the other question, Qn4.. well I hope I did well enough..

and I got my results for the previous exam paper, Quants.. i got 90 *yesssssa*

it’s a long break before the next module starts on 18 Jan 2009, i should start reading a bit of the textbook..

one down, eleven to go..

i sat for my Quantitative Methods of Management paper last Saturday, i haven’t been doing the exercises before the tutorials and i haven’t been paying attention in tutorials but i managed to cover all the exercises during my MC period and some of the past year papers..

seriously, the module is not totally something new.. mean, mode, median, standard deviation, histogram, differentiation and integration, all these were covered in secondary school.. finance future values was covered in the prep course.. the only thing new is the Laspeyre and Paasche price and quantity indices and those are quite easy.. so i should have been better prepared for the paper..

anyway that’s over than done with.. the next class starts next week and we are suppose to start reading the textbook but hey whadaya noe.. the stock for the textbook is not even in yet..

last tutorial today…

time passes by so fast.. just a few weeks ago (4 & a half weeks to be exact) i attended the intensive lecture for the first module of my course, Quantitative Methods of Management (or affectionately known as Quants)..  and today is the last tutorial session.. OMG!! and now that I have submitted my assignment, i have to start preparing for the exam paper next Saturday.. double OMG!! (so the drama lah Lyn)

so what have i learnt? I learnt that you can always count on your classmates for extra materials and for checking answers of the assignment and that the tutor always lost me after break time.. on another note, Quants is not really difficult, most of the things covered are things that I’ve done before during O Levels and the Finance part during the prep course.. it’s just that i don’t do the tutorial before class and i don’t pay attention during the tutorial..

so i’ve done my own reading and done the tutorial questions on my own.. i’ve finished the first half of the contents.. i guess i should be joining them for the group study but i hvnt.. maybe next week lah..
