Hey! I'm doing UMEP Biology on-campus next year and if you are, we need to be friends.

It’s really sad that every single person I met or were introduced to at the Welcome Day were doing it at school centres and I’m like ‘Oh, well, maybe by fate, I’ll see you at Melbourne Uni in 2015 if I ever make it in.” But thanks haha!

Does anyone know whether the lectures have compulsory attendance if you are on campus? I've heard it's possible to watch the lectures online but I'm not sure 100% cause I couldn't make the welcome day

I'm pretty sure lectures do not have compulsory attendance and depending on the subject you could watch them online. But for tutorials, attendance is marked.

Hey! Nice to meet you! Did you go to the Welcome Day? :)
On Campus – Three one-hour lectures over three days. One hour of theory workshops and two hours of practical workshops per fortnight, one hour of problem-solving classes per fortnight, two hours of pre and post laboratory activities per week, twenty-four hours of e-learning each semester and two hours of online independent learning tasks and activities per week.
^ bio on campus is so intense lol.

Has any of you guys know your subject starting date? I remember some subjects start on February but I haven't got my start date yet, it still appears as "TBC" on the website and I have no idea when to prepare for it now.

On the website it says 3rd of March. But since accounting is on wednesdays, i think mine would start on the 5th.

If you're doing UMEP on campus, you will start on March 3rd. Otherwise you should get an email from the uni.

I'm doing Math at a school centre, I try to email the uni but they haven't replied me yet, guess I just need to wait. Anw, thank you for you help!

Just a quick question, how do you guys prioritise UMEP? I mean everybody knows that it just counts as 10% increment, hence, comparing to other VCE subjects, do you guys think we should spend more time on VCE rather than UMEP? I'm going 5 VCE subjects this year + UMEP = 6. Need a bit of advice just to manage my time better.
Cheers

Definitely. It is often said that a UMEP subject is like half a VCE subject. Not sure if this is the case for all UMEP subjects but UMEP maths only has two exams at the end of the year, both of which take place after VCE exams, so you will have ample time to cram. Focus on your VCE subjects. Just ensure that you know roughly what is going on in the UMEP subject you are studying and complete all the assignments days in advance. If you learn the content well the first time, you will forget it during VCE exam period, but it will all come back to you when you revisit the content after VCE is complete. That way you won't overload your brain during VCE exams, and will be able to reap rewards from both worlds. :)
