Graeme is such a good lecturer. He's straight to the point but also knows how to have a laugh. Not a bad course all around if you like finance. Some difficult parts and the end-of-year exam should not be underestimated.

Semester One - 2022

Do not underestimate the final exam!

Semester One - 2023

DJ is a helpful lecturer and you can bet it helped with the content, which is quite a bit harder than previous courses. Beware the final exam though, it covers a large amount of content and requires quite a few calculations. Would also recommend taking Maths108 as preparation for this course. Try also to make use of the textbook.

Summer School - 2023

This course had poor teaching during summer school and was not enjoyable, especially leading up to the final. Maybe due to summer school it felt even more amplified in terms of poor teaching. In semester this course would be fine to complete, but do not recommend over the summer. Make sure to prepare a lot for the final and be confident with excel.
