Reviews

I would conditionally recommend this unit if you're an Economics and Finance major, who's completed Derivatives and Level 2 Macroeconomics. If you are a pure finance major, and haven't done Level 2 Macroeconomics (plus other macro-style economics units), you will struggle with this unit. Additionally, if you've completed - or studied concurrently - Derivatives, you will find this unit much easier. Around a quarter of the unit is based on Derivatives concepts (i.e. simple option mechanics, swaps, futures and hedging), so having a grip on these is made easier with prior study. In the final exam, we had to construct an option trading strategy in the short-answer section. This is extremely easy for anyone completing the second half of the derivatives unit, but challenging for those who haven't. In terms of unit structure, the unit is run relatively well, however there is not an easy 10% bonus mark. Instead of tutorials, there's a 2 hour, fortnightly seminar type thing. In this session, they just read out the answers to the questions from the previous week and go through the quiz answers. You cannot get access to the solutions without attending these classes. The class itself is a waste of time; it's a stupid structure. You should be being taught, not showing up in person to take photos of the slides (which could have been emailed to you). Ideally, take this unit with a conscientious friend, who can take photos of the slides and send them to you, so you can skip the classes. If you meet the above criteria and don't get too frustrated at dumb classes, you'll do well in this unit. If not, consider Economic Policy instead, to meet your 3rd year requirement as a Economics major. If you're doing Finance and Economics majors together, definitely do this unit, as it counts for both majors. (Then you can save a unit and do a fun WAM booster instead, like ukulele, personal finance or gym.) To anyone reading reviews, please pay it forward and review your subjects! Reviews have helped me a lot.
