Should I take ACC1002X (financial accounting) or CH2291?
ACC1001X is an exposure module for non-business people...but the past year paper looks kind of tough...
Mid-term test 20% Open-book
Final Exam 40% Open-book
Class participation 15% Regular contribution of answers and ideas during tutorials
Group project 25% Analysis of an annual report
100%
I was really truly horrified when I read the module description of CH2291. I mean just look at the list of readings:
