MGX9230 & AFF5100 (1)

i had two class in thursday, one is from 11 to 2pm, and other is 6pm to 9pm. the arrangment of time is not so good, there are 4 hours between these two classes. and the second class begins at 6pm, so i have to have the supper at 5pm or 5:30pm. consequently, when i go home, at 10 pm ish, i feel hungry. because i can not eat so much at 5 pm or 5:30, i am not feel hungry at that time. more important, there is limit choices for me to have dinner. around the campus, there are few restaurants. some Chinese, maybe 3 or 4, but i never have meal there, because they look like not very delicious. also there are some pizza restaurants, i ate once, but not so good. also, there is one Korean restaurant, i have been there a lot of times, not so bad, but a little dear than Chinese restaurant. this thursday, i bought KFC near campus. a burger meal at 5:30pm, but i was very hungry at 10 ish.
OK, go back to study issue.
the first class in thursday is MGX 9230-public policy, of course, this unit has nothing to do with accounting, i choose it because it has no final exam, but there are two huge assignemnt, i am not sure whether  i have mentioned it before. anyway, about the course, there are few students enrolled in this unit, i do not know why, but this is the core unit of some management program, i guess few students enroll in that program. there were less than 30 people attend that class, and most of them or maybe half of them are muture students. and at first the teacher introduced himself, his name is Jeff Keddie, PHD, the most impression thing is that he is the consultant of Victoran government. he is also MAV and AAV, but i have no idea about them. after that the students introduced themselves. and not so many international students, few from China, and there are some from Indonesia. after that the formal class began, the first class just talked about some few concepts in the unit. and the scope of this unit. basically, this unit is based on the case study. i do not understand why australian education so interest in case study. i do not know why case study is so important. and the teacher aslo said that maybe some cases were hard for us, but did not fear about them, just read them as a strody. luckily, there is no final exam, so i do not need to remember these cases or concepts. and in the seminar, the teacher did not finish all the content in the lecture notes, maybe he will talk about in the next seminar. so far, i have not known choosing this unit is right or wrong, but i hope i am right.
about AFF 5100, i will talk about it in the next post.
