Hey there,
So as we know the rego opens up 4th of feb... problem for me is that I'm heading overseas on the 3rd and wont have access to a computer with internet till like probably.. 4 or 5pm melbourne time on the 4th.
I need to plan out my timetable now, and get my bro to do from here.
My course is bachelor of science,
my first year subjects are:
biol 1, biol 2
chem 1, chem 2
calc 2, lin alg
semantics, Body, Mind and Medicine: A Dissection
the subject on the left is semester 1, on the right is semester 2.
I need to ask some questions...
1. When we get to make the timetable, is it just for semester 1, or for the whole year.
2. Whats the go with, how many subs you can do in 1 day, and also, say if i go to a biol lecture, do I need to go to a lab sesh in the same day?
3. -had a mental blank, will post more below.
i can read the handbook and find the min req's for contact hours, so i should be good there,
but if anyone has done similar subjects in the past, itd be helpful if you could upload a pic of your timetable from 1st year!
-
oh and are uni timetables like school timetables, a week 1 and a week 2?
-
1. The timetable you will make on feb 4th is for the first semester, there is another date for timetabling semester 2
2. As many subjects you want. There are no options for scheduling lectures from one day to another, they only have different times they can be given on the one day. No your bio lecture doesn't have to be the same time as your biol prac, e.g. the repeat bio lecture may clash with a biol prac.
You can get a link on the handbook for the hours and days that lectures/ tutes/ pracs will be held, so i suggest creating a mock timetable to give to your brother
e.g. https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/view/2013/CHEM10004 go to "view timetable" from the box of commencement date & location
Uni timetables are the same for each week (the only exception is pracs, you will allocate a time on the timetable for when you want a prac as if it were something you go to each week but it's actually every 2nd usually)
-
1) For only one semester
2) You decide how many classes you want in one day, but you can only select from the available time slots. So you could have a 1 hour day or a 9am to 4pm day back to back classes... lol not sure about the lab, but i wouldn't think so. I think you normally do the stuff you learnt in the previous week, but I've never had a science lab class before.
3) Only 1 week.
-
Would it not be a waste of time planning your timetable in advance according to last years times'? As in, do they change year to year?
-
What are tutorials?????? I heard that they cover the previous week's material. So then should they go before Lecture 1 and Lecture 2 in a regular week? So like tutes on Monday and lectures Tuesday onwards?
I'm doing:
- Intro Micro
- Quantitative Methods 1
- Finance 1
- Chinese (don't know which one)
Any tips? Thanks, guys!
-
How fast do class slots usually start filling up? Is it like on the first day or is there a chance a couple days after?

The 2013 timetable is already posted here: https://sws.unimelb.edu.au/2013/default.aspx so you can use that to plan everything.

Tutorials are small classes where you go over things you learnt in lectures/extra material (rarely). It doesn't matter whether they are before or after the lecture, just put them wherever is convenient for you. You won't have tutorials in the first week anyway, usually.
How fast do class slots usually start filling up? Is it like on the first day or is there a chance a couple days after?
They will literally be full for first year about two hours after it opens. There is a second release if you are waiting on an irregular offer, much later in February (sometime around the 20th?). So like, one batch of places gets released now (say 15 of 20 per class) and then later on for those that weren't enrolled in the subject at the time the remaining 5 places are released. If you don't get the time you want the first time then you can switch around when more spaces open up later on. Not all classes will have both releases but for first year Science and I think Commerce it's p much guaranteed.

I found my tutes covered the material they presented during that week, for that reason I scheduled them for the end of the week

ok thanks for the replies.
@el2012:

ahhhhhhhh right,
cause thats why i got confused.
for biol , the contact hours are as such:
Contact Hours: 3 x one hour lectures per week, 18 hours of workshops(1 hour of theory workshop and 2 hours of practical workshop per fortnight), 6 hours of additional problem solving classes (1 hour per fortnight), 24 hours of pre-and post laboratory activities (2 hours per week), 24 hours of e-learning, online activities including independent learning tasks (2 hours per week).
Total Time Commitment:
in the actual timetable, a lab sesh goes for 3 hours, so im guessing that 1 hr is the theory, and 2 hr is the prac workshop, as written in the handbook - hence the 3hrs.
i thought in a fortnight ill be doing 2 hours of theory workshop, and 4 hrs of practical workshop, haha, which'd be too much.
so thats goood :)
ill post up a mock timetable i made in a while so someone can see if its right :p

Sure thing!
-
Thanks so much for your help, mavisgibbons + El2012!
-
for chem,
where does " 6 hours of computer aided learning during semester, 8 hours of independent learning tasks during semester." fit in?
and for biol,
where does:
"6 hours of additional problem solving classes (1 hour per fortnight), 24 hours of pre-and post laboratory activities (2 hours per week), 24 hours of e-learning, online activities including independent learning tasks (2 hours per week)", fit in?
-
heres a mock up i just made,
look okay?

-
That's not too bad. I prefer mine to have less but longer breaks. So I try to have like 2-3 hours classes then 2-3 hours lunch break then 1-2 hours afternoon. It's harder for science though your contact hours are crazy and the timetabling is rigid which sucks. At least you have time to get something to eat, kick back and chill or do some reading or something.
-
Bhootnike, why the 8am Tuesday Chem tute? Srsly?
-
This is a personal thing and up to you but for mine there are too many gaps and lots of time will get wasted unless you are serious about studying between classes.
I would change:
-I think you forgot the Monday Chem lecture at 10am
-Put Bio Workshop 1-4pm Monday
-Put Chem Prac 9am-12pm Tuesday or 6.15pm-9.15pm on Wednesday
-Put Chem tute on 3.15pm Tuesday (8am tutes are awful, or so i've heard)
-Put Mast Prac to Monday 11am or Wednesday 3.15pm to 4.15pm
Your Mondays will be hell whenever you have bio workshop but your Thursdays will be looking sweet as...you'd probably be able to take Thursdays off every week. :)

Bhootnike, not sure if you've realized but you've picked a level 3 (LING30007) subject in first year.

For chemistry:
The 6hrs of computer aided learning tasks refers to the "chemcal" program, where you have to complete and pass various modules before each prac (don't worry you can redo them if you fail them). You just do these at home on your computer via the LMS.
The ILTs are un-timed they give you that you during the semester on the LMS which are often examinable (the content on the chemistry ILTs was often different to what was taught during lectures etc.). You must pass these to pass the chemistry subject (I think you can also redo these but i'm not sure..)
The biol ILTS count towards 5% of your mark, you cannot redo them and the content specifically relates to the lecture notes.
The pre and post prac tests for bio you just do at home on your computer via the LMS.
I think the 6hrs of additional problem solving classes for bio refers to the "topic tutorials". These are not compulsory to attend but are worth going to if you find a particular topic difficult or if you have never done bio before. There are also Tutor contact hours if you are struggling with the content.
As you can see, there provide a lot of programs/ classes during the semester to help you out so there's no reason you can't do well :)
Mine's looking pretty good but I'm concerned about the walking distance between my back-to-backs... Do I need to change them? :/
Nope that's fine! I had to do that too and for the same venues, and I got to class a minute or so earlier (i'd just get a map for the first week if you are a bit unfamilar) Your timetable is pretty perfect for first year!
Bhootnike, not sure if you've realized but you've picked a level 3 (LING30007) subject in first year.
Just keep in mind a level 3 subject in first year might be a little bit of a challenge. I looked on the handbook and they recommend a first year linguistics subject. I've also noticed that with my linguistics subjects in my first year, they can be quite pedantic with regards to marking.
-
Bhootnike, I changed your timetable around. This way you can get Tuesday practically off and finish on monday (i.e. listen to the semantics lecture at home) and wednesday early! (hope it's right)
Monday
9-10: Math lecture
10-11: Chem lecture
11-12: Bio Lecture
4:15-5:15: LING lecture
Tuesday
2:15-3:15 LING tutorial
Wednesday

The web timetable isnt working for me... every time I search up a subject and click 'view timetable', it just redirects me to the same search page.. Any ideas?

Where did you find the tutorial times for Finance 1? Whenever I go on it's timetable page on the handbook it only comes up with the 2 lecture streams for Semester 1.

@El2012
Tuesdays off is no good for him. :/
The LING tute is compulsory.
I tried to make it so he can get Thursdays off though.

ah ok. Yeah the ling tute is compulsory, except for probably 2 weeks during the semester where they don't run.
@Bhootnike. If there's any way to make your days finish earlier e.g. by putting classes one after the other then it's going to be easier come exam time
-

fairo.
I might just change from semantics to " Language in Aboriginal Australia" , which is a level 2 subject and has no background knowledge needed.
This is a personal thing and up to you but for mine there are too many gaps and lots of time will get wasted unless you are serious about studying between classes.

At home :)
i will look at this :) thanks
question - is it wise to put a biol lec at 9 to 10, then a chem from 10 to 11?
i mean, the time it'd take to get from one room to another, wouldnt i end up being late to the chem lecture haha?
Bhootnike, I changed your timetable around. This way you can get Tuesday practically off and finish on monday (i.e. listen to the semantics lecture at home) and wednesday early! (hope it's right)
thanks :) ill try and use yours to create a good timetable too!
but yeah, as stonecold mentioned, i think the ling tute is compulsory :s theres a hurdle requirement too haha.
AND tbh, thursdays off would be good, i can get good hours at a bar hahah (if i were to work ):P

@Bhootnike. If there's any way to make your days finish earlier e.g. by putting classes one after the other then it's going to be easier come exam time
are you sure its fine to do that !?
like 10 am to 11am calc 2, then 11am to 12pm, biol lec for example.
-
You want to have classes back to back, otherwise you'll spend an hour doing nothing. Classes finish at xx.55 anyway, you have time to get between them. If not, it's still not worth putting them later
-
And I'll add, they generally start at xx.05.
I'm actually a fan of the one-hour break, in some circumstances. After 2-3 hours worth of class, it's good to recharge for your afternoon classes. 5 hours of consecutive classes hurts the brain. Breaks between 12-1 or 1-2 are easily best, because there's likely to be a BBQ around. Everyone should be a fan of free snags and/or vegie burgers.
However, having too many one-hour breaks sucks. Especially if they're in the afternoon.
-
would u guys recommend 3 hour bio workshop for 9-12 or 1.15-4.15? is finishing at 4.15 kinda late? :/
-
Just deciding my breadths again.
Sidetracking for a moment,
If I did physics 3/4, can I just do Physics 2?
if my plans for med fail, ill consider mechanical engineering (3 year course) so hence why i need to do physics. i was planning on doing it 2nd year, but with the semantics sub being a level 3, i might do a level 2 ling subject in sem2, and do physics 2 in sem1.
So yeah, will physics 2 suffice for mechanical engineering(3 year course), and am i able to just to physics 2 cause i've done 3/4 physics?
i was thinking of doing Physics 2: Life Sciences & Environment
-
would u guys recommend 3 hour bio workshop for 9-12 or 1.15-4.15? is finishing at 4.15 kinda late? :/
Finishing at 4.15 is quite normal. I'd pick the 1.15-4.15 myself, but I live in the burbs and am not an early riser. Of course, you'd better check that the rest of your timetable fits first.
And Bhootnike, you have to do (any) Physics 1 before you do (either) Physics 2.
-
question - is it wise to put a biol lec at 9 to 10, then a chem from 10 to 11?
i mean, the time it'd take to get from one room to another, wouldnt i end up being late to the chem lecture haha?
You get a ten minute break between back to back lectures to get to class. If you can put bio and chem lectures next to each other that's best because they are probably in the same lecture theatre like they were for 2012.
I might just change from semantics to " Language in Aboriginal Australia" , which is a level 2 subject and has no background knowledge needed.
Intercultural communication is also a decent linguistics subject (level 1)

balllsss.
damn it haha.
ill have to do physics 1 in sem1 in place of a breadth then, and then physics 2 in second year..

oo thats good then! just checked, i think they are in the same place so all good haha:)
yeah? i checked the subject overview, i didnt find it appealing :p
did you do it ?

um, for physics 1,
why is a prereq physics 2 haha?

What time does timetabling open on the 4th of Feb?
-
What time does timetabling open on the 4th of Feb?
I think its 10am
-
I think its 10am
Yep 10am, but another user told me you need to log on like 9am because it gets mega packed and the site won't work.
Also is it better to have tutes/pracs later in the week after the lectures? That's the impression I have at the moment lol
-
What subject is physics a prerequisite for? I don't have to do any, but maybe cos I'm doing Comm/Mech breadth stream. I've checked with subject coordinators and they said as long as my grades are alright and I haven't failed they'll let me do the subject. It's just that they'll expect me to put in more effort to bridge the gap in my physics knowledge.
Generally the stuff you do in pracs and tutes are from the previous week so it doesn't matter when you have it.
-
Yep 10am, but another user told me you need to log on like 9am because it gets mega packed and the site won't work.
Yes the site gets mega-packed making it very slow or even crash. 9am is fine
Honestly i think it doesnt matter where you put your tutes/pracs

im basically not doing any eng subjects in my BsC, and am hoping i get into my preferred grad. entry of either med or dds.
If i fail to do so, ill do engineering, except it'll be 3 years, not 2 (which is if i had done the eng. subjects in my BsC)
but mechanical engineering requires that I do calc 2, linear alg, and apparently physics.
now im not sure if its both physics 1 and 2, or just physics 2 - given that ive completed unit 3/4 physics.
update:
i chose to do intercultural communication 1st year, 1st sem.
if it happens that i can do physics 2 straight up, ill do that in first year, 2nd semester instead of a breadth.
if i cant, ill do physics 1 in 1st year second semester, then physics 2 in second year.

To get into any graduate engineering programme without having an Engineering Systems major, you need to complete 25 points (2 courses) of relevant science (whether that be physics, chemistry or biology) at tertiary level. So if you're gonna do Mechanical, Electrical or Civil engineering, you need to complete Physics 1 and 2.
Even though you can skip to Physics 2 after doing VCE Physics doesn't mean that Physics 1 = Physics VCE. VCE Physics is covered in Fundamentals and Physics 1 has new material that should be learnt for a Mech major.

ah, right :) thanks,
ill do physics 1 in semester 2 instead of a breadth then :)
meaning this is probably what semester 2 will be like:
chem 2 bio 2 lin alg physics 1
and second year:
biochem anatomy physiology breadth
principles of mbiol and immun, microbes, infection, responses physics 2 breadth
third year.
major in micro, infection and immunology, with 1 breadth (to complete 300 points)
-
Oooh I see! I assumed you were going to do the sequence :P
Your new timetable is ok, there's still too many breaks for my liking lol you'll understand once you get to uni :P 1 hour isn't really enough to do any work/study and it's not enough to just chill and hang out with friends imo.
Also, take into consideration travel time to and from uni. Since it takes me 2 hours to get home, I prefer to have my final classes finish at 3pm so I get home at around 5-5:30pm. Which gives me some time to chill for the night and if I can be bothered do some tute work. I hated it when I finished at 5pm cos I'd get home and sometimes it'd nearly be 8pm after I have dinner and stuff I feel like just going to sleep or watching tv :( Once you go through a semester or two you'll figure out what works for you :)
-
Sorry to rain on your parade Bhootnike, but Physics 1 is only available in semester 1.

haha, im hopefully living on campus at college :) or if not that,
unilodge or a shared house. so ill be close to home :)
the 1 hour break on monday, and the 2hour break on tuesday, wed and friday will basically be for my lunch and friends yeah.
I might study, but i liked the sound of it being a lunch and chill time cause theyre right at the 12 or 1ish time :p
but this is the best i could make, it was like a huge jigsaw puzzle hahaha.
Sorry to rain on your parade Bhootnike, but Physics 1 is only available in semester 1.
FUCK.
-
Aahh that's awesome then! I wish I lived in the city...
But yeah it takes forever trying to make the perfect timetable! :P And then if you want to have classes with friends, it's even more of a hassle LOL
-
Hey,
on the timetable, how do we know which ones are tutes, which ones are lectures?
Cheers.
-
if u use list format then it tells u in words if its a lecture or a tutorial and what number it is
-
so it seems that this will be my new timetable...
(http://i49.tinypic.com/vw31c.png)
yay....
naaart
-
oh god, what the fuck is wrong with your Wednesday, change that asap
-
I don't think Bhootnike is very good at timetabling.... :P 9am-9pm day :| Heeeelll No! Try chucking those pracs on Tues and Thurs!
-
what the fuck is wrong with your Wednesday, change that asap
haha..shh ;p im not that bad :p i was tryna make it so i finish up early on thursday haha,
hows this:

Hey guys, is it possible to do 8 science subjects in the first year and no breadth?
For example:
Calculus 1 Calculus 2
Engineering Systems Design 1 Engineering Systems Design 2
Physics 1 Physics 2
Chemistry 1 Chemistry 2
(semester 1 on left, semester 2 on right)
On the enrolment screen, it only lets me pick 5 subjects for "Science Level 1" and 2 subjects for "Science level 1, 2 & 3" meaning I can only enrol in 7 level 1 subjects.
-
That chem tute is out of place, move it to one of your gaps Wednesday morning. Otherwise, pretty standard first year timetable now you're not there 12 hours -.-
-
which timetable should i choose? :)

I guess i can do that haha
hows it..?!
(http://i49.tinypic.com/2i8avo.png)
-
oo, just realised i have an one hour break between 11am and 12pm.
yay, i can grab lunch.
-
Jaydee I'd take option 2. Also, you don't have to go to Micro tutes, it's pretty pointless they just read off slides for that.
-
ok thanks Greatness! i was thinking about option 2 as well. I had option 1 down so that if I didnt have chem prac i could just take the whole day off :)
-

What will drain you is having a tute at 4.15pm on a Tuesday. It's not a time of day where many people concentrate well - almost all of the times I have fallen asleep in class have been during 4.15 lectures.
-
Those Physics problem classes aren't good anyway. You can do the 5 or so problems you get by printing the sheet off the LMS instead of going in for an hour.
I had the 4.15 tutorial and I always skipped it because I was completely rooted after a straight 6 hour day (barring 15 minute break at 1pm).

Plus some of the physics tutors are pretty terrible teachers. Sem 2 of my first year, my initial tutor was so bad that I actually switched tutes after only 1 session - a torturous hour of him explaining the basics of Coulomb's law at snails pace.
-
I stopped going after 2 weeks of each tutorial stream after realizing that this isn't doing me any good. The first guy didn't know how to do the product rule in order to get Newton's Second Law to work, and in S2 the guy had almost zero public speaking skills.
I recommend that the best teacher is the book, but thats just my opinion.

emiinaaa, your timetable looks fine but the problem is with the lectures (especially calculus, as I don't know if it is like that for the other subject lectures).
In calculus 1, (from experience) there will be different lecturers in the 9am slot to that of the other slots, and it is likely that they will be at different paces, so I'd recommend (even for the other subjects of it is like calculus, but I'm not sure because I haven't done them) that you choose all of the lectures that occur at the same time, once the real timetable opens up, you will see that the lectures are in streams (those occurring every alternate day at 9am nd those occurring at every other time) each of these time slots has a different lecturer, so it would probably be best to stick to one time slot..
^this is how it was like for me, I'm pretty sure they haven't changed it and it would probably stil be like that. Just wanted to give you a heads up before uni starts!
-
You're so right..I didn't think of that haha. Now I have to change everything around.. :/
Can anyone confirm this for the other subjects?

The science contact hours are crazy!
You guys reckon it would be a good idea to only have classes spread throughout the week in the morning? Or would it be a better idea to have free days during the week but longer uni days?
-
So jealous of people who can timetable days off >:I
I think keeping it steady but relaxed enough throughout the week might be a good idea if you're easily distracted from tasks after a day's break. It's up to your individual preference, though, I guess? D: I'm as worried about mine as the next person so my opinion is probably not really useful to you :P
-

I was thinking the same actually. Although I chose to have classes each day early in the morning. That way I can work through the uni material at home each night as my brain won't get so tired.

Yes you can, Before the Census date, which is the 31st of March :)
-

You can do so until around the 31st March with no financial/academic penalty. Keep in mind that you'll probably get shitty class times though.

Stupid question, but is it unwise to schedule a tutorial immediately after/before a lecture? Do both run for the full time the timetable online says?
-

A class scheduled from 11-12 actually goes from 11.05 to 11.55, allowing people time to get between classes.

Is it ok to have 2 lectures/tuts directly after one another? Eg. 1pm-2pm then 2pm-3pm? Do I have to account for travel time between buildings or not?
-
The uni apparently allows 5-10 minutes between lectures to get to classes, so you should have time if you're proactive about packing up and quick to get to class.
-
There will be ten minutes for you to go to your next class. It's usually not a problem unless one of your classes is in like Law and the other is in Redmond Barry. If you tell us where they* are we can tell you how annoying it's going to be for you :3

Lectures arnt compulsory right? So should I put them in the afternoon after tutorials and workshops in case I want to go home early and study...is this a good idea?
-
Subjects seem to have a lecture hurdle requirement of 70-85% from what I can see in the handbook, but if the lectures are Lectopia-ed I THINK you can watch them online and meet the requirement? D:
-
^ Looks typical for a biomed student.
Ok we need to have JAFFY FAQ. These questions have been asked before! :P
-Does it matter whether we attend tutorials or lectures first during a given week?
No, it doesn't matter because you normally cover content you learnt in the previous week of lectures.
-How does my biomed/science timetable look?
If you have classes everyday or 8/9am-5/6pm or 20+ contact hours then yes, it's typical for a biomed/science student. But it does vary depending on the units you take.
- OMG. I scheduled back to back classes, I'm going to be late D:
Firstly, no one really cares if you're late. If you are late then excuse yourself and you should be fine - it'll only be a problem if you're over like 15-20mins late. And classes generally begin at xy:05 and end at wz:55 so you'll have 10 minutes leeway to get to classes! But sometimes classes do go overtime but still it shouldn't matter.
- Can you change subjects?
Yes, provided you withdraw from it before the census date. Otherwise, you'll incur a 'Withdrawal' and I believe you have to pay the fee.
- Is it better to have classes in the morning or afternoon? Beginning or end of week?
Are you a morning person? Afternoon person? How long does it take for you to travel to uni? Do you have other commitments? Point, it doesn't matter do whatever suits you. But normally, I like to have tutes/pracs/labs at the start of the week so you review work you've done in the previous week while it's still semi fresh.
- Are all lectures recorded?
Most are. Some lecturers won't, but some will give you an audio file others will allow screen capture which has the audio and the slides/annotations that the lecturer does. But it won't contain any visual of what the lecturer writes on whiteboards or anything like that.
- Lectures arnt compulsory right? So should I put them in the afternoon after tutorials and workshops in case I want to go home early and study...is this a good idea?
Hell no! Some subjects will have compulsory tutorials participation so you have to turn up to 80% of them or whatever. You can leave early if you want, no one is stopping you. But I'd recommend you show up to lectures unless you pay no attention at all. I've found that I usually go on autopilot mode when I watch lectures online. Watching lectures online has benefits and disadvantages, but I still think it's best to go to the lectures.
- Subjects seem to have a lecture hurdle requirement of 70-85% from what I can see in the handbook, but if the lectures are Lectopia-ed I THINK you can watch them online and meet the requirement? D:
AFAIK, there isn't a lecture hurdle requirement. You may have read it wrong, it's usually for tutorials/labs/pracs.
With timetabling, I really think it's something you need to do for yourself and test it out to see what works for you. Everyone is in a different situation and we have different commitments so just do what works for you! After this semester you might change they way you schedule your classes because you found it too exhausting or whatnot. Also, just because you enrol in a certain lecture stream it doesn't mean you have to stay in there! If after the census date you want to change streams just look up the times on the handbook or say you want to go back to a lecture to hear it explained differently, just rock up! There aren't security guards out the front ticking off names, no one cares. Anyway, 2-3 weeks in the number of students in lectures drops quite a bit! haha
Hopefully that covers most of the JAFFY questions :P Feel free to add others or ask anymore :)

It might be different for commerce, but I found that for my first year in science they would review the current week's work as opposed to the previous so I kept my tutes at the end of the week
-

Hopefully this is a good timetable.

How fast do Intro to Micro and Principles of Business Law fill out? I want to do them in semesters 2 and 1 respectively but I can't actually enrol until I get my second round offer so I'm scared I wont get optimal timings :(
-
They will not become full. There is no quota. You will be allowed to enrol but if you're asking how fast the classes will become full, within 24 hours. The university will put more classes up if there is demand for them (ie more people enrol after they get their offer, like you!).
-
Btw, tip for anyone doing Commerce subjects such as Intro Micro and Finance: When selecting a tute on the portal (on the 4th of February) make sure you note the location of the tute options (often there's a few at the same time) and select one that is close to the centre of the uni - NOT in the Spot. The majority of tutes are in the Spot - and most students in these subjects don't really pay attention to details such as tute locations. Principally this is because they don't know the campus well enough yet.
-
Why?
-
The Spot is very far from most other buildings on campus - for instance, it is nearly a kilometre from the north-east corner of the uni to the Spot.
Then again, if it's your first class of the day you can take the tram up Elizabeth St and get off at Haymarket (just short of the giant roundabout).
-
Hey guys i was wondering if you have to schedule every required class on your timetable
e.g I'm planning to choose "UNIB10009 Food for a Healthy Planet" for my breadth which requires 2 x 1 hour lectures per week, however one of the lectures clashes with my other subjects. Can i just leave it off the timetable? and watch it on lectopia or is it required that i schedule it on my timetable?
(sorry if that sounded confusing!)
-
It'll be put on your timetable in the same timeslot as the other lecture, it's just up to you as to which one you attend
-
It'll be put on your timetable in the same timeslot as the other lecture, it's just up to you as to which one you attend
Oh so when timetabling we're able to put more than one classes in the same time slot?
-
Yeah, if they clash they'll be forced in there
-
You *have* to select a slot for every class/prac/etc. You can't just leave one unselected due to a clash. If you don't select one, you'll be automatically enrolled into a class after a certain point.
-
I know this has been answered in various ways before but does it really matter where tutes are scheduled? For example my current plan (bcom) is for:
Lecture #1 - Tuesday
Tute - Wednesday
Lecture #2 - Thursday
Would the tutorial cover the day before content as well, or would it just be from strictly the previous week? If its just from the previous week then I'm guessing it would be better to have a tute early in the week, and then the lectures towards the end. Otherwise wouldn't you learn new content in a lecture, and then the next day revise old content from last week's lecture?

You're correct, tutes are better earlier in the week for that very reason.

That seems to be a pretty good timetable.
For the law tutes...if they didn't change it..the tutes are actually your assessments.! you have to go to these comp labs to do a test which is Multiple Choice :D

-

It's been addressed elsewhere - you have to speak to the Science Student Centre to get them to allow you to put your 8th science subject under "Science and Breadth". You can add your 6th and 7th subjects to "Science Level 1,2 and 3".
But, consider whether you want to use up all these slots for possible Science subjects on 1st year, rather than 2nd or 3rd year.
-
So I shall put my proposed timetable here ::)
Tuesdays are free and Monday have the potential to be free as well, given that all those subjects are lectopia enabled.
I'm also considering moving the BIO workshop on Friday to Tuesday
Share your thoughts!

Ceebs Lectopia-ing 4 lectures. Might as well go on Monday haha

Wow second year subjects have substantially fewer streams even if they are the ones needed to get into med.

Guys what do you think Of this timetable? (physic is only for attending the lectures)
I also looking for a job!...so,with this timetable is there any chance for getting job? (whyyyyyy in Melbourne stores close at 6 pm!!!)

So for Principles of Business Law, we only need to attend the 2 hour lecture? Tutorials are optional?
-
Could someone pretty please answer this? it got ignored amongst other discussion :(
I also did 8 science with no breadth in first year.
Yes, you can only put 5 subjects in your "BS-SCISUBLV1 - Science Level 1" section - you will have to put the other 3 elsewhere on your study plan, e.g. "BS-SCISUBLV123 - Science Level 1, 2 & 3" or "BS-SCI&BREADTH - Science and Breadth". You don't need permission from the Student Centre like John President said.
This might be problematic if you don't want to waste three slots in your study plan on first year subjects. However, since I was enrolled in a Diploma in Mathematical Sciences as well, I enrolled in 2 maths subjects outside the BSc, so I only had to enrol in 6 science subjects. (I put the extra one in "BS-SCISUBLV123 - Science Level 1, 2 & 3".
Hope this helps!

Maybe you should consider downgrading to either normal physics or Calculus 2 to avoid a clash, or just lectopia each week.

hey guys, what time does timetabling open on Monday?
-
I'm pretty sure its 10am
-
I'm pretty sure its 10am
i got a 2 hour lecture starting 10am.
what do???
-
i got a 2 hour lecture starting 10am.

Have you created a mock timetable? you could always ask someone to do it for you
-
i got a 2 hour lecture starting 10am.
what do???
Take a laptop and do it there! Or go to the library and do it then go to the lecture when it's done. Or do it on your phone/tablet etc
Does anyone know if timetabling is quicker if you do it at uni rather than at home? Or is it the same regardless? - For 10am Monday. Like I was thinking that it might be quicker since you'll be on the uni network, but maybe not? haha

I have done this in the past but I couldn't really tell a difference, I only did it because my connection at home was awful at the time.
Does anyone know if physics fundamentals lectures are recorded??? or whether it's better to go to them like chemistry? I was thinking of putting my prac at the time of the lecture
-
The difference would be negligible (unless you have a shit internet connection) as largest speed bottleneck at 10am is their shitty server configuration being unable to handle 1000s of concurrent connections.
-

I believe they are recorded. This is from the subject review and ratings:
"Lectopia Enabled: Yes, with with screen capture. However, the second lecturer (Christopher) said he "hated" using Lectopia, and would walk around the lecture theatre as he talked (without the mic), pretty much screwing over anyone who had a clash or wanted to wag."
Also are we able to attend a lecture that we didn't schedule on our timetable? like can we just walk into any lecture?
-

Yeah, no one checks. You can even go into your friends' lectures if you want.

If I replace Engineering Systems Design 1 with a science subject, am I using up one of the two breadths that can be from science?
-
I don't understand the question; ESD1 isn't a breadth class for Science/Biomed. If you replace it with another science subject, you've done effectively nothing in terms of your breadth requirements, or your science credit requirements. If you are in Commerce or Arts and you're planning on taking ESD1/replacing it with another science subject, you're still only taking 1 breadth class.

If you are in Commerce or Arts and you're planning on taking ESD1/replacing it with another science subject, you're still only taking 1 breadth class.
my understanding was that a subject could either be a breadth, (two of which could be a science subject) or a subject that leads to a major. Since ESD 1 is a subject leading to an engineering major, would replacing it with a science subject mean that I'm replacing it with a breadth of some kind? Sorry if my understanding is all wrong but I don't know much about this stuff and I was going off the sample course plan.
-
Ok, I'm sort of getting what you are saying. I know that you can replace 2 of your 6 breadth classes with science classes, but we don't call them breadth classes anymore haha.
If you replace ESD1 with a science class, you are replacing science credit with science credit. There is no breadth issues involved. I'm still kind of confused about what you are asking.

ok, so going off the sample course plan, if a subject is not a prerequisite for a major subject, then I can replace it with a science subject without any consequence towards my breadth requirements?
-
Yes. If it's not a pre-req, you can replace it with whatever you want.
-
Yes. If it's not a pre-req, you can replace it with whatever you want.
thanks. Do you recommend changing ESD 1 with another subject and I'd so, which one? Or is ESD 1 the most benificial subject to do for 1st year eng?
-
On Feb 4, do you only select your tute times, or lecture+tute?
Thanks
-

lecture+tute+practical
-
how many lects/tuts should you do in one day?
-
"ECON10004_U_1~SM1-L01/1" = lecture 1
"ECON10004_U_1~SM1-L01/2" = second lecture of lecture 1
"ECON10004_U_1~SM1-L02/1" = lecture 2
is this right?

Hey, I'm an Arts student and need some help with timetabling for science subjects (namely BIOL10004 - Biology of Cells and Organisms). I asked the Science Students Society person and they said I'd be able to figure it out on the day which doesn't help lol.
How exactly do you timetable for science subjects?
Looking at the timetable - https://sis.unimelb.edu.au/cgi-bin/subjects.pl?scode=BIOL10004&year=2013 - the only thing listed are workshops (all W01/x) and lectures (L01/a, L02/b and L03/c).
The thing is, the handbook - https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/view/2013/BIOL10004 - says I need to do the following:
"Contact Hours: 3 x one hour lectures per week, 18 hours of workshops (1 hour of theory workshop and 2 hours of practical workshop per fortnight), 6 hours of additional problem solving classes (1 hour per fortnight), 24 hours of pre-and post laboratory activities (2 hours per week), 24 hours of e-learning, online activities including independent learning tasks (2 hours per week)."
So do I just select one W01, one L01, one L02 and one L03?
Thanks!!
-
For bio you will need to choose three lecture times (L), and one workshop (W). The Workshop includes both a "tutorial" and a "practical" (i.e. so you are just choosing a workshop time as opposed to times for a tutorial and a practical since they are in succession).

Sweet, thanks for that.
Also, normally events happen on Tuesday afternoons, right? Are there any other times we should try and avoid scheduling lectures/tutes/etc?

I think repeat lectures in general can be pretty draining especially if they take up the last hour of a 6-7 hr day at uni, it's better to go to one of the earlier lectures. Times I would encourage for tutes (for bachelor of science) would be towards the end of the week, I found they ran through the material that was taught during that week as opposed to the previous week. Finishing off a friday with a tutorial helped me out because I could ask the tutor some questions at the end since I had nothing else on :) I wouldn't be too worried though if you have to schedule a tutorial a bit earlier in the week.
A heads-up for the bio prac: They hold a mid semester test during the time of one of your pracs during the semester. For that reason, I found timetabling the prac earlier in the week was better because that way you don't have to revise during the week whilst balancing assignments etc.
-
^ Thanks for your advice, really appreciate it.
How does this timetable look? I know Monday and Wednesday are pretty full-on but most of the subjects on those days are ones I can't take at other times as they're only offered on those days.
Monday
SPAN 10007 T01/1 - 10:30am - 12:00pm (John Medley 532)

Thoughts? I only have back-to-back classes on Wednesday morning; is travelling between West-Copland and ERC - Charles Pearson alright? Any suggestions?
Cheers.
-
How come on the schedule it says that the class is from 9 - 9:45
but according to the subject description you have to attend "two 1 hour lectures?"
so do they go for 45 mins or an hour?
-
Hmm, anyone had any luck with pressing "Generate a random timetable"?? LOL.
I did the whole meticulous planning thing last year but now I'm not sure if I'm bothered. :x
-
can someone explain this
Contact Hours: 36 one hour lectures (three times a week), and 24 hours (12 x 2 hours) of practical classes and tutorials. 3 hours of research participation (hurdle requirement).
?
-
can you go from a lecture starting at 10 and finishing at 11 to a prac starting at 11?
how strict are they on timing?
wat do help
-
For anyone who's done the timetabling before, how do we actually allocate each subject into a time slot? Looks all very confusing to me.

If you go to the student portal, log in, and click on 'my timetable/register for classes' (something along the lines of that) scroll down and there will be a link to a video that shows how to do it.

For Linear Algebra, which Prac is the computer laboratory class, P01 or P02?

What do you guys think of my timetable? I tried to make it as dense as possible to allow me a day off on Thursday and every second week on Tuesday. I want to be able to work on these days.

Are you only doing 3 subjects?
-
Are you only doing 3 subjects?
Nah I'm doing Finance 1 but I'm going to lectopia them :P :P
-
im thinking about changing subjects only because of the demands of PSYC10003_U_1~SM1 - Mind, Brain & Behaviour 1
which demands Contact Hours: 36 one hour lectures (three times a week), and 24 hours (12 x 2 hours) of practical classes and tutorials. 3 hours of research participation (hurdle requirement).
and the timing of the lectures are terrible. what do i do?
-
Nah I'm doing Finance 1 but I'm going to lectopia them :P :P
Ohh i see :P You should go to the tutes tho, even though attendance isn't marked.
Also, can't you choose a different time for that Linear prac? It's best to stay in the same stream for lectures.
-

they will tell you in the first lecture, or check the subject guide when they upload it on the lms.

What do you mean? Do you mean putting P01 before P02? Because one of them is a computer lab class
-
I'm pretty cheesed off that I can't get a day off this semester. I managed it for the last two, but now that my Russian cohort is so small, there's only one stream, and it runs on Tues/Thurs which are the normal days off for science students.
-

When I did linear you have the lab class right after your tutorial. You can't choose separate times. So it's a 2 hours block - tutorial then lab/prac.
-
quick question
can you have back to back lectures / tutes that are in different buildings ? or is there no point as you will never make it?
not sure...
-
@above, apparently a class running from 10am-11am starts at 10:05am and ends at 10:55am so you should be fine.
Any thoughts on this timetable?:

When you choose to register it'll only have 2 hour time slots, you can't choose separate ones.
And that trip won't take long, <4 mins.

So in my mock timetable, I should leave a 2 hour gap after P01 and thats where P02 will go?
-
have to wake up to register in one class. shattered.
#firstworldproblems
-
Which class? What are you taking this sem...
-
Haven't settled on it yet mavis, but probably LING (Grammar of English) for breadth. It has a damn tute. :/
Other than that, Bacteriology, Immunology and Biomed Core M2M. :)
Are you still doing Biochem + Neurophys + Bacteriology + Immuno?
-
How do you remember my study plan better than I do? I suuuure am! But yeah I have to register in the Biochem tute and lecture times just so my timetable doesn't fail to represent the streams I actually show up to and look all ugly with clashes. So I shall be waking up early also!
-
I always remember random details about people. Probably not a good thing. It makes me come across as a creep haha.
After last semesters disaster of 4 clashes (thanks to genetics), I will only have the one clash this semester. :p
Probably won't make a difference anyway. I went to about 4 micro/immuno lectures last semester... not good.
-
It just confirms your smarts, no creepiness! Yeah but they're all useless and recorded...
Better not get caught saying that.

MELB UNI STUDIENTS

Definitely less than 10 minutes
-
Already registered for two subjects :D
-
https://sis.unimelb.edu.au/adminonline.html
It is available now!!!
-
The only Art Foundation lectures (compulsory subject) are really late in the day. And one of my subjects has a 2 hour lecture from 3:15-5:15 on Tuesday; not ideal at all. :-\
-
Let the timetabling panic begin...
why can't I enrol in physics! For anyone doing physics fundamentals, does it only say staggered release places are available?
-
Is anyone else having trouble enrolling? All the slots from which you pick say 'unavailable?' and I'm not able to select them :(
-
Yeah all mine say unavailable. At least we're on the portal now though.
-

LOL
-
Dang. Also, anyone doing 'Chemistry for Biomedicine', does it say 'No classes availible'? (where the red dot is) Because even though I can't register for my other classes either, there is still a 'register' button there, but not for the Chemistry.

Yep same for one of my subjects (even though i'm doing science)
-
All my classes are still unavailable. Balls.

Are those the lectures? From what I remember for example if you pick the 9 am lecture, it will lock you in to the following Wednesday and Friday lecture at the same time.

Oh yeah, we forgot to mention this happens every semester. Welcome to the UoM timetabling system.
All my classes are registered now. Have fun guys (lol).

this is ***** bull****

Done
16 hours, Science, 2nd year
I think this is a record. Took me a bloody hour last semester
Off to uni now, have fun :)

I'm only here so i don't get stuck in the 8 am finance lecture
Hehehe... you say that like you have to go to your registered lecture :p
-
All done. :D Now I can finally take the dump that I've been holding in for the past 30 mins.
-
HEY GUYS WHAT IS A STREAM CLASS?
IT WOULDNT LET ME TICK THE BOX BECAUSE IT WAS A STREAM? WHAT ??
-
tick the stream box on the left?
-
By the way, it says that the registration for the Principles of Business Law assessment tutorials will open tomorrow, anyone know what time?
-

Look to the far left column. You will see boxes you can tick.
-
My psych times just cancelled wtf

your a mad kent brah, youve helped me heaps on here, ill buy you lunch this year on campus
-
For a science student, would it be better to have your tutes later in the week or earlier in the week. and would it be better to have your pracs earlier or later in the day/week?
-
Some weeks it's 7...
:/
Wait how? Do they schedule extra classes or something?
-
Will go on Thursdays. The rest looks unlikely haha. :P
And I just saw the 3rd year ANAT timetable. I wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry. Micro FTW!!!
-
Did whole site just crash?
-
Anyone else having trouble registering for Human Physiology?
I keep getting this message whenever I try: The first quota of staggered registrations has not been released yet.
-

I didn't know you were allowed to have clashed lectures.

Workshop is nothing more than another lecture spot. Most weeks it is rubbish/non-examinable, but some weeks (e.g. cancer, pathogen evasion) it is examinable. In the test weeks they may use it for a lecture as well...
-
My mondays, tuesdays and wednesdays look good!
-
I didn't know you were allowed to have clashed lectures.
Last semester I has 4 lectures clash. To cut a long story short, the university doesn't give a shit....

As long as you can listen to them at home it's no big deal :)

I had completed my timetable and it said it had been saved then randomly the page refreshed and my arts foundation subject said 'no classes registered. What the hell??

40 minutes in, 1 subject done 3 to go......
By the way, anyone else doing QM2? My page says no classes are available to be registered.

aboslutely a farce...i had my timetable saved...it made me re-register for some reason...select same times...times not available

See you guys there!
-
How do you know your timetable is saved?
-
so what actually is a "stream" lecture?
-
Anyone know why they took down Techniques of Molecular Science? Can't register for it
-
how do you know if you have registered for all the clases you needed to?
-
Are people still unable to register for chemistry for biomedicine?
-
YES WHY IS THIS HAPPENING!?!?!
-
how do you know if you have registered for all the clases you needed to?
Look under "registration status" next to the list of your subjects at the time. There should be a line that says "all classes registered" with a green light, if you've done it all correctly.
-
Finished!

LOL!
Yeah I'm done too, not knowing about Calc 2 streamed lectures stuffed me up a bit, but i'ts done!!
-
YES WHY IS THIS HAPPENING!?!?!
does this mean i have to call 13 melb and listen to their hold music for 30 mins
Wah
-
Wait so do we have to register all over again? I don't wanna go back to the registration page, find all my shit's intact, and then have the same bug you guys got and have it all reset lol.
-
How do you log out so I don't have it delete my registered classes i had already done again? I can't seem to find a log out button
-
do u guys think its wise to have 2 consecutive lectures followed by another 2 consecutive math (1hr) pracs...? 4 hrs of classes in one go?
-
does this mean i have to call 13 melb and listen to their hold music for 30 mins
Wah
i called at 1030 put on hold for 20 minutes and gave up :(
-
Just give it some time. If everyone starts calling 13MELB with the same issue then they aren't going to like it very much and it holds up other people who have more personal problems.
-
Does anyone know why there are no classes available for qm2?
-
Once I have registered can I just close the window?
-
No classes available for Introductory Econometrics too.
Yup you can just close it, VCEstudentguy.
-
Once I have registered can I just close the window?
Make sure it says 'All Classes Registered' for each subject, and you should be fine. Also check if all your subjects are there.
-
Is anyone doing Community Volunteering for Change 2nd yr?? Why are there no available classes?
-
So ermm how did some people know the link to the timetables before 10am?? :S

Man why cant people sleep in and just do it at 12pm so i can get the classes i want?? Lol :(
All the anatomy pracs are full -.-

I would've finished my timetable 2 hours ago if Chemistry for Biomed was actually available.
Thank you Melbourne for wasting my entire morning, you trolls.
-
Okay guys. I need some help. I am doing the following subjects: Chemistry 1, Calculus 2, Creative Writing and Biology and Organisms.
How do I change my timetable to fit in my other priorities?
Eg. I'm all registered in chemistry 1 and biology, but some of the slots simply do not work for me time-wise. However it says, "registered" is there a way to change it somehow?
-
What do you mean by priorities?
-
What do you mean by priorities?
So you mean all of your slots are registered but you want to get rid of them? If so, just undo the ticks on the squares and save???
-
Don't worry, I figured it out!
-
whats that blue icon, 'Stream'...?
Does that mean I have to stream the lecture onto my laptop...?
-
Timetabling: what's a steam class?
-
No it is just a fixed group of lectures/practicals etc. That means if you pick one you are forced to pick the other session in the same stream.
-
Mine was mostly smooth sailing, but I did have a couple of problems/queries:
- For 'COMP10001 - Foundations of Computing', there are no times available for the Workshop (not full, just no times available to register for), it says: "No classes currently available. Please try again soon" What do?
- The lectures for 'PHYC10005 - Physics 1: Fundamentals' were not streamed, so does that mean it's fine that I pick 2 of the 9am ones and then swap to a 2:15 for the 3rd one?
-
when do i have to finish registering for my classes? Like the deadline?
-

After the last day to enrol online (15th of March), you can still enrol/withdraw from a subject, but you will need to get permission to do so; you can do this by requesting a form (you can get this from a Student Centre). The form requires a signature from the co-ordinator for the subject you want to change into. (Timetabling is done with the Student Centre).
-
soooo for chem (biomed), do we just wait? :S
-

From the MDHS Student Centre:
First year Bachelor of Biomedicine students, a quick update on class registration for Chemistry for Biomedicine. There is a known issue with this subject, and it should be fixed by later this week. Don't stress if you're not able to register right now, others aren't able to either.
-
Lol you guys stress too much. Be pro like me and you'll get it done in <5 mins ;) But some classes are still unavailable for me :@
-
If we weren't able to get a preferred timeslot for a certain tute because it already filled up, would it be wise to just check the timetabling page every morning to see if any places clear up for that spot? Or just check on it on feb 25 when the whole 'staggered release' thing comes into play? :)
-
Definitely every morning as people can change their minds at any time. I got my desired slot last year on a Thursday because one spot just happened to have opened up.

Isn't there the "Waiting List"? Not too sure how it works but I think you can somehow register yourself in a class where there are classes unavailable and if people "Change" or "Withdraw" for whatever reason, the next person on the list will get the slot?

That's essentially correct. People often shift tutes/timetables around for various reasons - February in first year is like a quest to construct the perfect timetable. If you don't get in via the waiting list, try again on Feb 25

Thank you!! :D I'd been checking the class registration page to see if the places cleared up and they did just a few mins ago so YAY!! :D

hey biomed people u can register for chem now 8)

What a great timetable...

As I finally got confirmation of my quota subject & dealt with some technical difficulties, mine's pretty much done :)

How about you??? And how's your Gamsat prep going along?? less than 2 months left!
-
What a great timetable...
Unless you live really close to the uni or you don't mind skipping tutes, I'd move your chem tute to Monday, Wednesday or Friday because Bio pracs are fortnightly

Haha practically non-existant because i'm going to do the gamsat uk :) I'll probably major in chemistry or biochem

aww goodluck! You are so good at chem unlike me :)

i live 35 min away from uni but id like the day off every now and then, so thanks for the advice. Hows my new timetable look?
-
Thats a sick timetable man I want that timetable LOL are chem pracs fornightly too ?
-
Nah chemistry pracs have a specific timetable where they put you into groups. Depending on which group you are means when you will be having pracs. You could have it for 2 weeks in a row or even 3. Or, you could get gaps. Just depends which group
-
Ahhh sweet doesnt matter every thursday off fortnightly seems awesome to me :D not to mention finishing before 3
-
Is the Physics 1 Prac every week or every second week?
-
Different groups may have different timetables, but mostly you have it once every week - sometimes you will have a week off, it depends on the schedule.
This was for Physics 2, but I assume it to be also true for Physics 1.
-
The timetable for me was on the back of my physics prac book. Was every week (cept for mid sem break etc).
-
First year physics students have pracs in 8/12 weeks during the semester. There is never one in the first week, however, and there isn't a real pattern to when the weeks off are.
-

Oh ok, so I'll have 3 of the 11 weeks with no Pracs (not including first). Do you think it's worth having the prac on its own on one day to allow a day off every now and then (as is the case in my current timetable)?

That's a good idea
-
Thoughts on this timetable ?
Early finish on Fridays, Tuesdays off, hectic Wednesdays and Thursdays though
-
Are mondays too unrealistic? I'm not sure as to whether I should spread the classes out and have no free day or leave it like this? :S
-

You interested in business? If it's just to fill a breadth spot, I'd personally suggest not to do this subject and opt for something 'easier' - such as Living Longer (UNIB30005).
-

If it were me - Monday is fine. Since they are lectures, you might choose not to come to some of them and just listen to them at home. For Tuesday I'd move the chem prac and biol prac there. This leaves Wednesday and Friday free (if you listen to lectures at home). And since bio pracs are every second week, you would finish earlier on Tuesday.
Just a suggestion :D

Interested in Law and Business so I wanted to try out the subjects and see if I like them or not :)
-
Also debating whether to move the chem tute on thursday from 12pm to 8am so i have more time for lunch. Sleep in vs lunch decisions decisions i love both my food and sleep :(
-
hahaha yeah! I tried to leave 12-1pm free each uni day to have lunch at the right time :)

Hey, sorry to butt in but it seems that everyone has approx 20-21 contact hours for science / biomed here.
I enrolled in BIO, CHEM, JAP and Physics (fundamentals) for sem 1, and I have 24 hours a week...
Is this something to be worried or concerned about?
Thanks!

Nah, I think its pretty normal for your subjects. Most people will have 20 - 21 because they don't all do physics on top of chem and bio. The physics prac i think is 3 hours, pretty much making it up and the tute

You might want to take into account that biology/chemistry practicals and tutorials don't necessarily run every week (eg. biology practicals and tutorials run every second week).

Hey guys, I got an email the other day saying that my individual timetable has been changed. But I logged on into student portal and selected the register into classes link in the admin tab, but it's exactly the same? The subject that supposedly got changed was Chemistry for Biomedicine. Am I checking the wrong timetable? The email said to "Please view your individual class timetable by navigating to the Student Timetable via the Student Portal and selecting “My Classes”." But I can't find the my classes link...
Sorry, just realised that other people's being posting about this too. So has anyone figured it out?
-
This happens all the time and 99.9% of the time there is no noticeable change. They may have increased the number of places in a class or changed a room or time for somebody else's tute. I wouldn't worry.
