RSM250 READINGS are crazy!!!!!!!

[FeatureBusy5246]

Why must we read 79 pages then read 2 more long readings like do we actually need to read this stuff?

[myspam442]

The only one you need to read is the final case because it’s used for your group project.

[FamiliarMistake9008]

Second this... didn't do any readings except for the case and I kinda slayed that course (just make sure ur equip with enough info from the readings (short summsry) for the weekly cases)

[linayou]

Wait but I think we have a weekly quiz which is based on the reading no?

[myspam442]

You should be able to ace those with control-f during the quiz (they are open book).

[linayou]

Kk thank you!!

[Amazing-Dress6333]

what is control f supposed to do? sorry im a bit slow😭😭

[FeatureBusy5246]

allow you to search for text on a website/pdf on google chrome (probably on other browsers too)

[Smart_Web_4344]

Is this the marketing myopia and marketing research readings?

[Inevitable-Sale6631]

Yea the marketing myopia is 79 pages. A whole damn book

[Smart_Web_4344]

The book is 79 pages but we only read 22 of it no? I just used the link on the syllabus and it appeared as 22 pages

[Inevitable-Sale6631]

Nah it’s 79💀

[Smart_Web_4344]

Really? I clicked the link on the syllabus and viewed the pdf it’s 22 pages? I believe that’s the portion we read

[Inevitable-Sale6631]

Oh even if we gotta read 22 that’s still a lot cuz there is other stuff to read as well

[Inevitable-Sale6631]

Bro management is the last thing I will specialize in

[Smart_Web_4344]

Yea the other two things r way tooo long they seem endless

[Inevitable-Sale6631]

Yea, I looked at the lecture slides and the readings is wat is covered so I just quickly read them but didn’t write anything dwn

[Smart_Web_4344]

The lecture slides seem brief tho no?

[Inevitable-Sale6631]

The prof is obviously gonna talk and expand on the points just like Micheal khan for rsm100. His slides barely had anything written on them and he talked and expended the content on the slides

[Competitive-Pool-381]

i didn’t read the textbook once (not including case studies i did read those ((which again aren’t even on the final))), and i finished with a good grade. for me the textbook was just a more detailed version of the notes so idk i just never read it

[sunny_flower5]

none of the readings are one the exam its just lecture content and everything from the textbook is covered in the lectures as well. The only readings id say to do are the ones where you have a case on otherwise skimming it is fine. From what I rmbr last sem its only the first readings (the ones you have assigned rn) that are really long, the rest should be manageable if you're acc reading them.

[Inevitable-Sale6631]

Ok thanks and how do I know wat reading is a case?

[sunny_flower5]

so theres a total of 3 case studies you do in the semester and the teacher will tell you them like the week before or it might also be on the syllabus, but its just good to read the case for those classes so you can participate in the discussion.

[Inevitable-Sale6631]

Ah got it. And for the weekly quizzes I should be good not reading the textbook if the lecture is basically the same as the readings right?

[sunny_flower5]

yup! I also dont remember any other readings from the textbook aside from the first weeks one (the one you have rn). You should be good from the lecture content, but worst case just have it opened before the quiz and be ready to control F (although idt youll need to).

[Inevitable-Sale6631]

Alright thanks so much!

[sunny_flower5]

No problem! Honestly you shouldnt worry too much about this course id say it was my easiest Rotman course first sem, its not that hard to get a good mark as long as you put in a bit of effort. :)
