what continuous assesments if, any, do u have to do?

Paul Tergat

well if its jimmy o'neill you have, and i assume it is, theres naff all continuous assessment.

he'll give you a couple of exercises to hand, like picking out a share portfolio but he's really flexible, like to some people he just said hand it all in to me before lectures finish.

the course itself is fine and he gives...err...a good lot of hints.

past papers are always a VERY good guide.

I'd advise anyone to do this to get a decent mark, as long as you dont mind very very basic maths

Some people in my class found it really hard, but you really need to just attend and you should have it down.
Jimmy O'Neill will give all the questions on the last class before the exam.
It's a grand course if you're good with numbers, financial concepts, etc.

Like the above posts, it can be reasonably challenging if you're not great mathematically (like me), but between the hints he gives and some of the grind notes knocking about you'll be fine. Most of my friends that did it got a first in it.
