come on

ok, i just do not know how to name the title, just pick it up by chance.
OK, talk about the class in this week. before that, i want to say that i make a mistake, i thought we would have 2 weeks Easter day break, but the true is that just one week. so i want to say... what the hell...
any way.
the first class is Mkx 9550. The tutorial came first. i did not think the teacher will teacher anything in the tutorial. why? just look at what happen in the last tutorial. at the beginning, the teacher asked wheather we read the case study. then gave us about 10 mins to read it. then she read it again, sentence by sentence. I did not know why she did that. anyway, then she asked what we learned from this case. then, a little discuss. then class dismissed. my point is that, that was the first case study of this semester, and in the following few weeks, all the case study will be presented by students through presentation which is one of the assessment. so maybe from next week, the only thing i should do in the tutorial is listening the presentation. what should i say, maybe just we will see...
then the lecture came, it was about customer value. i think it was just an outline of some key concepts, because the teacher said some concepts would be talked in details in following weeks. and the important thing in that lecture is "Michael Porter's generic value chain model", and it is a real old model, but still useful. but i do not understand the whole model now, i will work on it. also, the teacher talked about the assignment 1, i think it is not a hard assignment, but the the hard part is that we need to choose a company to analyse. if we choose a right company, the assignment is an easy one, but we choose a wrong company, well, it is hard to say. there are also some limit to choose the company, so far, i have no clue about which company should be choosed.
OK, about the AFF5130. i do not know what's wrong with me, but i feed that i always wrong in this subject. before the lecture and tutorial, i read the wrong chapital and prepared wrong questions for the tutorial questions. and after lecture, i go to a wrong room for tutorial...what the odd?
anyway, about the content in lecture, first it talked about the business structure, i think it is easy. and few concepts introduced, but most of these concepts are about finance. also some models introduced, the first one is about the relationship between information (news) and share price. we learn this relationship before. in common sense, bad news and good news can influence the share price. but in this unit, it focus on the stuff called "information asymmetry", and there is a model to calculate it. if one company get a small result, say 0.0002, it indacates that this company can be trust. at the end of the lecture, the rest model came out, they are all about how to calculate soe specific ratio. and these would be used in the assignemt.
in the tutorial, the tutor answered the tutorial questions, just some questions in the textbook. but because it took so many time on the allocated group stuff, not all the questions were finished, he will talked about the rest one next week.
OK, tomorrow has two seminar. AFF5100 is the harder one. So, wish me luck.
