SIM UOL students lip lais! - Part 5

[Garlic & Butter]

Plus pang slides are largely using the textbook "lecturer's material" didnt even bother spending time coming out with own notes or slides.

I strongly advise prospective students taking ISORG to steer clear of Mr Pang.

thats right. steer clear of him.
i took ISORG due to the CPA exemption thing. in the end this module is useless.
the salt to the wound? I got a 2.2, when I'm aiming for a 2.1

thanks to him.
among my 12 lecturers, I rate him the worse tbh.

Hi all. Will appreciate if you guys can advisewhich one to take. ME or Micro?

I prefer mods tht has a standard way of doing things and the pyp commentaries are quite helpful.

Also, any lecturers to recommend?

 

[ChaoCheapBuy]

hi vsa ppl, is the formula on pg52 of subject guide wrong? it states that return on assets formula is (net income + interest exp) / total assets, but shouldnt it be jus net income / total assets?

hope someone can clarify. thanks!

 

[starsandstripes]

Em so there is no error from the 2012 examiner report?

So there's no 2012 examiner's report, go check it..

hi. i dont take VSA but i took FM which has financial ratios. it should be correct. it is the return to debtholders and shareholders.

according to investopedia, ROA can be taken as either Net Income/Total Assets, or ( Net Income + Interest Expense )/ Total Assets.

2011 ZA Question 2 if you see the exam report the formula for ROA is NI/TA. so i guess we just follow suit?

3. Treatment of borderline marks at degree classification and diploma grading
3.1 Borderline marks are 69, 59, 49 for all units. In addition, 44 is a borderline mark for law units only (any unit in Selection group
F(iii) or L) and 39 is a borderline mark for non-law units only (all units not in Selection groups F(iii) or L ). At the stage of
classification/grading, only one borderline mark may be treated as falling within the mark band above when doing so would improve a
student’s classification/grade.
3.2 There are no borderline aggregate marks (see 8.2 and 10.2 below).

Hi guys, anybody knows whether is the treatment of borderline mark still applicable? dug this out from somewhere

Checked already. Didnt find anything similar to it. Its okay im giving up already. Thanks anyway.

yap it's applicable. 4A and 1 69 u will get first class.

I think cannot take both together. This year is the last year that they allow students to take both ME and Micro

 

[charel_ong]

this year ME is manageable.. so those intend to take next year.. have to be prepared.. o.o Micro im not sure..

 

[ambersmear]

yap it's applicable. 4A and 1 69 u will get first class.

is this in any new regulations? can't find it

Vsa warriors. Chapter 9-11 of the vsa study guide are tested for the theory part right? Section B. How I wish there was no theory part for vsa. Don't know what to focus!

I cannot agree with you that this module is useless.
But I must agree and advise all prospective students of Pang's ISORG to open you eyes and choose your lecturer wisely.

Similarly, this is my final year and he is the worst lecturer I encountered in SIM. I am lucky I made the decision to buy textbook early on in the academic year, it served me well. The lady who sold me the tb on this forum also had Pang as ISORG lecturer and also agree he was the most regrettable lecturer she ever came across !

sigh, tts the prob with vsa, always very conflicting.. subject guide say NI+IE but exam report says NI.. duno which is correct.

i think just follow the subject guide and you will be fine. and anyway, i have found quite a number of errors in the subject guide actually.

if you look at the exam questions, normally chapter 9 and 11 are intertwined together as a entire question. im focusing on 9, 11 and 12 for theory.

How about chapter 10?? Internet stock, mergers and all? Yeah mok's presentation of the formulas and the study guide sometimes abit different. Super sian.

im not studying chapter 10 at all because i dont understand at all. i guess thats the only chapter that most of us can avoid, as it is more of a standalone chapter. yeah, mok's formula is abit different from the guide.
