Many subjects are like that what...Originally posted by stellazio:because what u study doesn't equate to what u will do in real life.
They either help to develop your mind or provide you with a basic foundation. How and what you do with that knowledge - that is where your individual initiative and creativity, entreprenuership, etc. comes in. -
Actually the theory is just guidelinesOriginally posted by stellazio:you wana know something?
marketing modules is crap.
its just a load of theory crap which doesn't even use an individuals creativity.
Alot have to do with your common sense and creativity -
Well, my peers who have taken the module said that it's pretty interesting, though it can be pretty heavy in terms of workload.Originally posted by Wanda:It's good to take a business module...since you're from the engrg....kind of keep in touch with the other side.
And I dun understand why stella says it's crap and that it needs no creativity....
If that's the case, then all companies will be doing well, i suppose.
Anyway, I figure that I can get this module by tossing in all my points into the fire. Unless if I'm facing off against several other fellow final-year students, the other kids won't have enough points to outbid me.

marketing projects, you're supposed to choose a product of a company and comment on its marketing strategies and the 4Ps based on what the textbook teaches you.Originally posted by Wanda:Many subjects are like that what...

they should allow more flexibility in the system, like tying up with some small companies, get the students to market the products for em, and ultimately whether the companies wana use their marketing project is up to them.
the current system doesn't explore's the individual's student creativity. -
a lot of subjects that u study don't equate to what you will do in real life wat. like what we studied in secondary school.. We don't need to learn algebra.. etc..Originally posted by stellazio:because what u study doesn't equate to what u will do in real life.
but at least, studying provides you with a foundation.. and theories.. -
anyone watched Rodney Dangerfield's Back to School?
that one was classic... he went back to school to ensure his son completed college.. so he enrolled for a class about business.. during the class..
"first you gotta pay off the mob, so that you can operate there.. then you grease the palms of cops on the take..." -
Perhaps it's bec of your teachers...coz they want to have easy marking job?Originally posted by stellazio:marketing projects, you're supposed to choose a product of a company and comment on its marketing strategies and the 4Ps based on what the textbook teaches you.

ahh thats another point.Originally posted by Wanda:Perhaps it's bec of your teachers...coz they want to have easy marking job?
my lecturer was an adjunct one, @#$%^&..
but generally the projects are like that, i should have done the feedback and suggested to em.
or make it a linked module, where in da 1st one, u learn the basics and foundations + the study of a company's marketing method.
2nd part, u do the marketing for a product with ur group and present it to the class, lecturers and also 1 of the company's person. -
Well, you gotta admit that that kind of teaching does help prepare one for the real world.Originally posted by the Bear:"first you gotta pay off the mob, so that you can operate there.. then you grease the palms of cops on the take..."
I've taken two modules on management theory before... one was general management theory, while the other was HR management theory. In my opinion, I understand the need to study both modules, but the way they taught us was pretty crap. I don't feel that I've learnt anything useful at all from either module.
Oh well... at least I got A- for both of them. -
You can do that when you go to the uni.Originally posted by stellazio:ahh thats another point.

i remember one of my subjects.. the lecturer said about the text:
see page XX, that's me.. but what the wrote in there is rubbish.. (it was him, describing how he turned a steel mill from being overrun by red ink into one of decent profitability)
he said that the writers left out the really important parts in order to fit their own 'theories'
he then told us that the latter half of the book was also 'rubbish'
we believed him.. he wasn't an academic.. he was a part-time lecturer and a full-time CEO of a few companies -
the most advanced calculation i had to do is MULTIPLICATION and i use a calculator "just to be on the safe side"
i don't even have to know the theory of flight!
people should just learn what they are supposed to learn, learning anything else should be a personal pursuit because by then its done out of interest. and if you're interested, you learn more. -
if like this, i know a lot of people will be barely sentient

I think the Marketing modules are the easy ones, should go for itOriginally posted by fudgester:Ok, I've decided to go for a marketing module. I figure that I should be trying to learn things that may help me in the future instead of trying to take so-called 'easy' modules.
Hmmm..... should I? -
