about Monash (3)

in this one, i will talk about one cours which i learned last semester.

totally, i studied four subjects, and i will start with the easy one- GSB 9001

from this code, it implies that this course is not about the accounting or financial, but most Monash master students should learn this subject. i do not know why, but i do know i don't like this kind of subject. this kind of subject called Personal Development, or Professional Development. when i studied in VU, some of friends learned PD in bachelor degree, and they told me that, that course was like IELTS Class, told the students how to write or how to read, and how to speak. and when i learned this subject, i had the same feeling too. maybe because of the language, i do not like this unit. but it is not a hard unit.
there are two or three assignment in this unit- a debate, a report and i am not sure whether there is the third one...the first one is just three minutes debate. the teacher will tell you the topic and you can choose your side- for or against. it needs careful, because i choose a wrong side, and not easy to talk about the topic. the second one is longer, 1000 words report, individual report. 1000 words are not so much, but before you start your report you need to read about 20 articles. and your report should base on these article. and i have not got a good mark on this assignment. honestly, i do not know how to get a good mark on this assignment...but some students really got a high mark, and i do not know why. there are may be more than half dozen of tutors in this subject. maybe there are some subject factors affecting the marks, maybe, i hope.
and the final exam is not hard too. the teacher will distribute the past exam paper and practice exam paper. also , there is a good news for international students such as me, in this exam, you can take a dictionary. if you do not have one, when you enter the exam place/arena, and before the exam began, you can ask the staff for the dictionary. actually, i always take a dictionary to exam when i study in VU, but rarely use it, because i only have accounting Chinese-English dictionary, but the words which i do not understand are not about accouting. so i have not bring the dictionary to the GSB 9001 exam. and when the staff asked me whether i need a dictionary, i said no. and this thing should add to my list of regress.
to summary, i do not like this unit, and i do not know how to study this unit. WHAT A PITY...and overall i got D in the unit. but as memtioned above, there are more than 6 tutors in this unit, and i hear that most of these tutors are male, and pretty cool. this should be a good news for the female students. LOL.
