Feedback from Unit Evaluation

I really enjoyed the assignments for this course. They were real-world oriented, practical and I learnt a lot from them.

The assessment questions are based on real-world case studies. All the assessments have been discussed in class with a clear expectation conveyed to students. The workshop sessions have been also recorded and uploaded on the Moodle to ensure that students have access to information and guidelines in preparing their assessments.

Feedback from Unit Evaluation

I genuinely don't have any finance background, I find it a bit challenge for me.

The teaching team has focused on the areas that students may find challenging and spent more time in workshops to reinforce finance concepts and terminologies using exercise questions and case studies. The approach works well for students from non-accounting and finance background.

Feedback from Unit Evaluation

If on-campus classes are taken before 5pm it would be nice.

Some classes run after 5pm, students may find fatigue after a long day in the campus. The classes are scheduled according to the university’s timetabling, we may need to have another look the timetable to accommodate.
