So the business lecture was really helpful. Our lecturer was a man who was very pro in this field and had wrote a few textbooks.... anyways on the day we were given 4 booklets on ER, Business Management, Marketing and Finance. He went through with finance first but before that he told us some advices on getting a band 6 on business for HSC. Some key things to know:
1. KNOW THE CROSS RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN TOPICS
eg in Financial Management how does Marketing relate to ER?
so in other words be able to know the cross relationships of all the topics!
2. IDENTIFY KEY VERBS AND UNDERSTAND QUESTION
never write anything unnecessary! Go to the point.
3. KNOW THE SYLLABUS
4. KNOW AT LEAST MORE THAN ONE CASE STUDY
Choose a case study that you know well and be able to evaluate it eg the marketing strategies of the business. Know more than one as a back up so you can answer any questions.
5. LOOK AT THE MARKS TO DETERMINE HOW MANY POINTS ARE YOU GOING TO WRITE ABOUT
eg if a question is worth 6 MARKS. Write at least 4 or 5 points as your answer. Do not talk about a few eg 3 and elaborate them because you wont get the marks or its really hard to get the mark
The lecture was 3 hours so pretty much the rest of the time he told us about business.... information about it and guided us through understanding the booklets with further explanations.
With love,
