what is opt-out and opt-in sir?

Before last year a lecturer had to request that lectures be recorded. The default was no recording. As of last year, the default became that lectures be recorded. If a lecturer doesn't want the lectures recorded they have to make a request and give reasons.

Biological psychology is probably the best subject I've done at uni so far and Stefan is a legend. Plus, it's so much more chill only having 2 lectures a week.

I'm honestly enjoying Biomed so much more in 2nd year without having to do so many core subjects which felt like a chore.

I'm still pissed you guys get Stefan this year and we didn't. Piers was cool too though.
But yeah bio psych is fucking rad and everyone should do it

Does anyone know about requirements for the Dean's list? E.g., is there a 100 point requirement for any given specific year? Don't want to toot my own horn but I've heard of friends receiving invitation e-mails and from knowing their scores, I'm not sure why I haven't received one yet.

To the best of my knowledge, to be considered for the Dean's Honours List of level \(N\) (\(N\) being one of 1, 2, or 3), you'll need to have completed at least 62.5 points of subjects which are level \(N\) subjects and also have completed \(100N\) points for your undergraduate course. Details are scarce, but I believe the ranking is based on the average score across all your level \(N\) subjects which you've completed by the end of the relevant academic year of the Dean's list.

One of the points on the old policy (which has since been replaced with a vague one) said

A student should be considered every time they complete another 100 points at a given year level, regardless of whether those points are completed within a single academic year or not.

so it doesn't matter how long ago you completed them. Keep in mind you're only considered once at each level of your course's Dean's list throughout your entire undergrad degree.

If your friends aren't in the same undergraduate course as you are, then it may just be that their faculty has gotten around to compiling the Dean's list a bit earlier than yours has.

does anyone know why yesterday's fm1 lecture wasn't uploaded?
is this happening with any other subjects?

Apparently mcb from 8am today wasn't uploaded either, so it's likely a general problem

When you pay $1200 for a commerce subject but the FBE are too cheap to print off 12 pre-tutorial question sheets lmao

I don't think I've done any commerce subjects after 1st year that printed off tute sheets for the students so get used to it lol 

[Bunjil]

Out of curiosity anybody that has done/is doing Chem 1 who did you find the best tutor was? I've got a guy (David Mcfayden I think? Idk could be wrong) and I honestly don't think he's too crash hot. I'd love to hear some other opinions though.

Hey can anyone help me pls

I am in first year and decided to drop my breadth today, so I withdrew on the study planner. It seems I've missed the self enrol deadline for the breadths I want to do instead. does that mean I have to wait for next semester and do two breadths to catch up? Is there a way to enrol even if the self enrol deadline (10 march D:) has passed?

Thanks so much

Yes 'self enrollment' date has passed which was 10th of March. But I am pretty sure you can get stop 1 to manually enroll you into a subject. But note, you would have missed two weeks of content if you decide to enroll now, so up to you.

might be worth mentioning that you may need coordinator approval to enrol in a subject in week 3 (they'll make you attach it to an enrolment variation form) that's what happened to me last year but stop 1 might just put you in, try it

Would anyone happen to have a copy of the 2015 PHYC20009: Thermal and Classical Physics exam paper?

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys,

Does anyone know how early you're supposed to be for your mid-semester test?

The reason I'm asking is that I have one next week (on a time that's NOT the usual lecture time  ) and right before it, I have an unrecorded lecture. Obviously, I don't want to miss the test for a lecture but I'm wondering if it's possible to go to the lecture and also do the test?

Thanks!
