I had my first major test today. It was a 30% test. The course was FCOM 110 (New Zealand Commercial Environment).
I have 3 other major exams coming up, but I was more worried about this test compared to the other subjects. That is because there is so much to study for this course, too much readings to do and I wasn't really sure how to go about studying it.
The lecturers were kind enough to tell us to a certain degree what topics will be tested on. The first questions was on IT, the second was public policy. Those two questions were kinda expected, so I was prepared for it.
But not for the third question.
Black Magic - Your Insight
The question is suppose to be a management question. What the question meant by 'Black Magic' is how David can beat Goliath, or rather, how a small country like New Zealand (and hence, David) can take on the world (and hence, Goliath) in the world of business.
Instructions:
1. Do not write an essay.
2. Do not regurgitate lecture materials. It is your insights that are important.
I just wrote down everything that came into my mind. Things such as critical thinking, constant innovation, passion, drive, etc came into my mind. But all these things were covered in lectures, so I'm not sure what he meant by 'do not regurgitate' because I'm pretty sure all the students would've wrote the same things.
Overall, I thank God for helping me through. FCOM is finally done and over with.
And now I have 3 more papers. Yippee.
And then I'm free.
Counting down..4..3..
