Week 1 of Term 2 has been completed with my first experience of doing a course online with e-learning. I am surprised that I am enjoying the online learning delivery method.

Both Financial Management and Financial Accounting involve Tutorial Assisted Sessions on Saturday morning and early afternoon.

Financial Accounting was set up as an online learning module prior to COVID19 so it is very well set up. Financial Accounting does involve a lot of preparation for class work so having an early start to the work puts you ahead. I am finding that even though I have an accounting background and did accounting at university, I am learning the updated terminology and the new financial statements that were not around.

Financial Management also requires pre class work and pre work for the tutorial sessions. I did make the mistake of not preparing completely for the Financial Management as we also had to complete Week 2 questions sets for the week 1 Tutuorial Session.

COVID19 is still with us and I had a hair cut at a nearby barber in the Melbourne CBD. As a small business owner he now only opens 2 days a week and on one day he only had two customers come into the shop. While COVID19 is having a health effect on the world, it is also having a wealth impact on the world. This makes learning subjects like Financial Management interesting in these current economic conditions.
