    You can't choose your own timetable as such but there is a lot of slack, for example, you could have a service management class on 3 times a week, and in september you choose which one you want to do (ie. not the 9am one)
    I'm doing marketing myself (which i'd highly reccomend) so i'm not 100% sure about the other 2 q's. There tends to be alot of CA in the waffely subjects (mkt, mgt,hr) and I know my friends have definitely done a presentation or two. IMO it beats the acc/finance style of 100% marks depending on your exam. You can relax at exam times because you learned most of the stuff doing course work and you have 20-30% under your belt before touching pen to paper.

    Mine neither, and I'm really happy I steered clear. The projects in marketing and the entreprenurial one in management can actually be good fun, and they're all group based. If you do choose management, i'd recommend an elective in marketing, consumer and buyer behaviour in particular was a brilliant class.

    Im doing marketing myself, have to say I love it!!! 1st semester was definately easier than this semester. My mate did mgt and did consumer behaviour said it was good combo. Also services mgt/services marketing complement each other well. Elective wise if your not into your numbers i'd derfinatelu recommend globalisation-he tells you whats on exam & its an easy project-guaranteed 1st. 2nd semester company law doesn't have any projects so its a nice balance to all the CA in mgt/ marketing which is kinda hectic at the moment!
