this report needs 4000 words, the written part of this assessment was not hard, how to collect the data was the hard one, then using Excel to analysis the data. the whole "data" part costed us a lot of time...
this was a group assessment, and we got 20 out of 30. the main problem was the purpose of our study was unclear, so the marks were just so-so
Abstract
The Ohlson (1995) and Feltham and Ohlson (1995) papers are landmark works in financial accounting. But when we employ Ohlson model for Australian market, it shows that the book value of equity is not as significant as we expected. So, we develop our new models. We decompose book value of equity per share into assets per share and liabilities per share to explore whether the disaggregated accounting items can provide better value relevance to share price. And then we decompose assets and liabilities into current/ non-current assets and liabilities. Including Ohlson model, we totally employ three models in our paper. Finally, after conduct regression test, we found that using current assets per share, non-current assets per share, current liabilities per share, non-current liabilities per share and earnings per share can provide more and better information of value relevance.

Ok, this one, let's look at AFF5150
the teacher is female, Dr Birt, and good teacher. but in this unit she really did not teach so much. in the most time of seminar, the students did the the preseatation. very long presentation, up to 1 hour. usually, in the first 30 minutes or 1 hour, Dr birt taught some accounting theory which related to the following presentation, and sometimes there was no theory time, just the presentaion. then, the first group would give their presentation, up to 1 hour. and after that, a 20 minutes break will be given. then the second group came up, gave the presenataion. then, 3 hours passed, class dismisse. almost every seminar liked that. i learned a little in this unit. really, i was not interesting in the other groups, maybe because i did not understand what they talked about. in the most time of the class, i sleap except one seminar, the one i needed to give the presentation. 4 people made up one group. one we spent maybe 10 hours to read the article which we should talked about. one sentanse by one sentanse. very hard for us. because of lack of some statistic knowledge, we were not understanding the paper well at first. but after we had meeting with teacher, we knowed the paper. and finanly, we got a high mark on the presetation. they other assessment was hard too, and i worte about it in the earlier post. that was 4000 words. and we needed to do a lot of reseach. we downloaded 50 annual reports, and found out the number we needed. then put these number in the Excel, then run some statistic process, then get the conclusion. we got a reasonable mark on this assessment, not too high, but OK.
about the final exam. in the exam, all the questions were about the paper which we did presentation in the class. there were 20 or more paper, we should remember. include the name of the authors, the conclusion of each paper. i am not good at member. test about member means nightmare for me. i spent two days to remeber these stuff. and did not go to sleep on the night before the exam. but in the exam, i still did not remeber the authors name of some paper. i got C in the unit. fair for me. i thought.
