Title: Semester One Timetable Thread
Post by: LeviLamp on January 30, 2014, 01:12:11 am
Since graduate/honours class registration is already done and undergrads get their timetables on the 3rd, I thought I'd make this thread in preparation for the wave of distraught second/third-years with unavoidable clashes. Have fun!

actually kind of surprised at how few contact hours i have. (although it's still too much :'D)
not sure what i'll actually be going to at 2:15 on fridays (if anything at all)

clashes? In timing?

To be honest my problem lies in destination :(


UPDATE: I was told by the subject advisers that since the uni MUST accommodate for us, they're going to release more times and classes. I hope this is true.

I had to drop my mgmt consulting class because auditing had a lecture at the same time. (Srsly, screw accounting. :(  )

All that time spent writing a kick-ass application gone to waste.....
Title: Re: Semester One Timetable Thread
Post by: scribble on January 30, 2014, 11:29:44 am
does the auditing lecture not get recorded? o.O i wouldn't drop a subject because of one lecture clash. @ A @

90+ftw they TRY to help you avoid clashes, but theyre not going to move a lecture or make another stream just because one person has a clash. especially if its because you have a subject with a small cohort.
i know last year in science, accelerated math/accelerated physics clashed with each other, and environmental science clashed with absolutely everything;;

Post by: 90+FTW on January 30, 2014, 11:44:42 am
^ I spoke to a woman named Alana, she said that they usually release more classes in case people HAVE had clashes. For example, I just discovered that lecture 1 and 2 for my arts foundation subject (REASON) clashes with Latin. Latin has very few classes so I was told that they would release more in order to avoid the situation (not just for me, but for others as well). It's so frustrating, I just have two more lectures to fit in :(
Title: Re: Semester One Timetable Thread
Post by: scribble on January 30, 2014, 12:01:45 pm
they often do release more tutes especially if there're more enrollments than anticipated, but lectures don't really budge.

^ I'm waiting for an email from the uni, but...what do YOU suggest I do?


UPDATE: I've reviewed a couple of things, looks like I've only go one lecture to squeeze in now (nearly no clashes) and I got Fridays off!

I am not dropping a single subject of mine, no matter what :)

Post by: scribble on January 30, 2014, 12:21:56 pm
hopefully you'll be able to get rid of the clash, but if you can't clashes really aren't that big a deal if you can watch the lecture online. @@

Ahahahdfgfg why did I choose DASC20012 instead of Comparative Animal Physiology with LeviLamp? I’m assuming all their lectures are at 8 AM as it is an Agriculture subject, and farmers rise at 5 AM to milk the cows. I should buy a rooster that crows at dawn.

3 day timetable due to Paint Techniques in February, which itself only runs for 6 days. The remaining fortnight is used to paint questionable figments of the imagination at 2 AM while intoxicated, and submit the portfolios at the end of February. So happy I'm not learning a language through the breadth track  :P

I'M STILL LEGITIMATELY SAD ABOUT THAT DECISION BALLERINA AND NOW I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO BE TOO ;_;
I'm going to wait until I have my actual timetable to post it because I just realised they like to link German tutorials for no reason and so I might end up with eleventy-eight clashes as a result.
(also Ballerina YOU HAVE AN ELEVEN-HOUR WEEK I'M SO JEALOUS)
(ALSO also this is petty of me and is of no relevance I don't think DASC subjects are agriculture subjects; one of the streams in the Bachelor of Agriculture requires taking DASC subjects but they aren't actually from the degree, which steals a mishmash of things from science and environments and adds one or two individual classes of its own to appear original, and there are ALSO actual agriculture subjects with the code letters AGRI)

At least it will be intriguing to see if I made a horrible decision! According to the timetable it only has 2 lectures a week rofl.

Yeah, I know; there are indeed compulsory AGRI subjects. It's a science credit, which is why I'm taking Painting Techniques instead as a breadth. But DASC subjects are popular in the Bachelor of Agriculture and are strongly recommended to complement their core subjects, so I consider them part of agriculture (and general science). unnnph really want to milk a cow

There's not, I just realised, so I think I'm going to email Prof. Siemsen and ask if I can be placed into specific tutorials. My friend managed to be approved for that in German 1 and 2 so if they do that silly streaming again I can probably get out of it. It just means my timetable will look ridiculously clashy until they fix it for me T_T

In the case of German 3 it's just a tutorial. In some subjects it's like a somewhat larger tutorial in a lecture theatre with more interaction between tutor/lecturer and students? IDK.

Personally I wouldn't consider that a good timetable. And yes I plan my semester 2 timetable too in case I need to swap sem 1 and 2 subjects around to get the best timetables.

Does lectopia mean they are only audio recorded? I dont like the lecture times for one my subjects so i looked up the subject guide and it said: "notes, as some important explanations of the material are not provided on the slides. Note also that the audio from the lectures will be recorded and available to students using the University’s Lectopia system, which will be accessible via the LMS (see details below)."

Dam, does that mean no video recording? :(

There is video but it's not of the lecturer, it's of one of the screens in the theatre. If the lecturer chooses to use the other screen, or the blackboard, or any other means to explain something, you will only get audio.
Some lecturers are really diligent with the Lectopia recordings and pay attention to making sure they draw/write/explain in a way that records well, others don't give a toss. and you never know which one is going to be good or bad until the semester has begun. It is NOT a good idea to depend solely on Lectopia. For first year Biology it's fine, and probably for Chemistry too. I wouldn't recommend it for first year Maths subjects although some of the lecturers are good about it.
Title: Re: Semester One Timetable Thread
Post by: hobbitle on February 02, 2014, 04:00:02 pm
Also if the lecturer doesn't use the microphone or the microphone is broken you can lose the audio too. Hence a bad idea to depend on Lectopia.
Title: Re: Semester One Timetable Thread
Post by: Sinner on February 02, 2014, 09:39:55 pm
On the topic of lectopia, it's more often than not both video (of the slides, not any hands on demonstrations lecturers may do), although they can be audio only if the lecture only speaks without slides or if the video capturing system was faulty, which happened to me for ANAT20006 last sem for quite a while.

Timetabling tomorrow and still haven't received an email about the quota for PATH30002 :S Know if they've sent the emails yet?

MDHS quota subjects take around 7-10 business days to fill in their slots, this is only the 7th business day, so it wouldn't be out of the norm until if its past Wednesday. The longer time taken might be due to the smaller limited number of spaces (160) or an overwhelming number of applicants compared to that amount, I'm guessing.

Either way, I suggest you make (if you haven't already) sample timetables of your 3 other subjects with PATH30002 and one for the other 3 subjects with your PATH30002 backup.

JIC you need PATH30002 times: https://sis.unimelb.edu.au/cgi-bin/subjects.pl?scode=PATH30002&year=2014

You don't really need clashes to qualify to post here lol, but on the topic...

I'd try to even some things out and move some Friday stuff to Tuesday if you don't have particular personal plans for that big free white space. If subjects near (location wise) each other have like a 1 hour gap between them then it's kind of a waste, and I'd consider moving that sometime else instead. (the Chem tute on Friday in particular, it'd give you 3 hrs worth of breathing room)

Just make sure you're gonna be able to deal with those 3 8ams in the week

Hey, thanks for this. Yeah sort of unfortunate about those 8am lectures. I think I'll move that chem tute to Wednesday and swap my Wednesday mast tute to Friday at 12pm.. that gives me 2 hours for lunch on Friday. An ideal amount of time to get pasta on lygon street by myself!
I might unload some of my Wednesday onto Tuesday morning, but I'll have to play around with that a bit more :)

I think QM1 and Micro lectures are linked. So you could do T & Th 10-11 Intro Micro Lec then 11-12 QM1 Lec. You usually have a 10 minute allowance in between so Arts West to the Spot is okay

It's cumbersome to change tutorials once your preferred timeslots are taken; you need med certificates, notes from an employee etc. But nobody will check during lectures to see if you're in the correct lecture timeslot, assuming you can't select your preferred lecture timeslot.

I don't even think you need to register for lectures if you are 100% not able to. There was one lecture for a subject I never registered for during the semester but it didn't matter since I was enrolled in the subject

Post by: Stick on February 03, 2014, 09:56:17 am
So you don't recommend completing registration subject by subject; rather, skip through and make sure all the 'small classes' are done first and then come back to lectures?

With lectures, you can usually rock up to any. No one takes your roll. The first two weeks will be crowded but then it will usually die down because they:

a) become boring and useless
b) become available on LMS (able to watch online)

Don't worry too much about streams/lectures. Take care of your tutes

Well I ended up getting exactly what my mock timetable says so this is what I'm doing... I know that I now have four 8:00am starts but I think it's worth it given that I finish around midday every day and I'll get every second Thursday off as well.

No, four 8am starts is never worth it. Trust

@sabzie If they're lectures and you can't rearrange, video stream the easier lecture. If they're tutorials and you can't rearrange, email the coordinator for the tutorial you'd prefer to move and ask for permission to move into a full tutorial class, providing a screencap of the clash.

I added a class because my previous 11 hour timetable was shameful, and you still have 24 hours - 14 hours = 10 more contact hours than my study plan does.

The same thing has happened for a tute of mine. Click the "more info" button and it might give an explanation. Last year they didn't release all the prac times for MIIM20001 at once and waited for the first lot of pracs to fill up.

HELLO no, you're changing it to Thurs 2:15 PM so that you, El2012 and I can be in the same tutorial class. Thank you, see you there!! And we can trade PHYS20008 notes beforehand! Sweet!

Another UNIB20007 student who has changed their tutorial to Thurs 2:15 PM! We can reserve our own table! Excellent! Hello new best friend!

Well by now the Thursday one is now full  :-\

I don't think it matters that much although many might say after. A large part of the chem pracs are based on the prelabs you are assigned to do anyway.

its fine. you dont really need lecture knowledge for the stuff you do in pracs. i was usually a couple of weeks/months behind in lectures, but found the pracs fine all the same.

The chemistry pracs are the worst assessment task ever. They have no relevance to the course or lectures whatsoever. So it's not an issue.

If you actually use that break to study you will be in the 1% of university students that does so haha. Between live bands and barbecues outside Union House every Tuesday, there are better things to be doing than hitting the books :P

This being said I do live for university life so maybe my perceptions are a bit warped.

I really suggest you move that ARA lecture to Thursday 12-2. Move that intro micro tutorial as well. The 2 hour break is not worth it, very unproductive. I had a three hour "study break" when I was first year...."study" never happened.

Beef is the norm, but in most instances there are pork sausages as well. You just have to make sure you ask which is which. Vegie burgers are also in great abundance.

The perks of being a third year science student: cool subjects to take, lower contact hours, most subjects only have one set of classes (no repeats) so there's no rush to make your timetable, classes are mostly in the mornings (I like to get them out of the way early in the day).

The annoying thing about being a third year science student: I have my first 8am start of my whole degree. Also, since I have interests in two different areas, despite my low contact hours I still have two clashes.

Fingers crossed that musical theatre (!!) is a good subject.

REBORN's timetable is absolute death, and the only reason he's taking those subjects is so he can go on exchange in second semester :)

It's the content of the subjects that will hurt, not so much as the times. Although, the times are not great either...8am starts and insane gaps on Friday.

I only started registering for classes today and not surprisingly, most of the morning classes are full. Is it worth waiting until the 24th of Feb for more spots to become available in these classes? Are these extra spots guaranteed?

If any 2nd/3rd year students have experienced this, please let me know!

I recommend you register in whatever is there now and wait for the 24th at 10 am

Maybe you should transfer unis? ;)

Also keep checking for availabilities. Other students might pull out of classes, which would potentially open a spot for you.

This as well as to allow for the fact that the first release isn't convenient/possible for everyone, and things tend to go wrong more often for you silly first years :P Also potential changes in subjects.

In university, attendance doesn't correlate to marks. Not for lectures anyway. I went for 1/36 MBB2 lectures; it ended up being one of my highest subjects. Sometimes, pausing and restarting at home is beneficial too!

This. I could never take notes fast enough in the Biology lectures so I stopped going to them and I watched at home.  Took me 2 hours instead of 50 minutes but at least I had proper notes by the end.

I've heard that some lecturers like to write on the board a lot, which doesn't get put online, though. I'm guessing that doesn't happen often?
I'm probably gonna have the same problem! Notes notes notes. Thank god for recorded lectures. I can imagine it already... Going to every single lecture, then realising I'm gonna have to rewatch it all at home anyway...

How long do the lectures stay online? Forever?

I found that the maths lectures were hard to watch online because some streams would use the white/blackboards and it wouldn't be recorded. But I found maths stuff to be better paced in the lectures.
Biology and chem all run off slides that are recorded with audio so they are fine.
Definitely go to the first few lectures and check how the recordings turn out. Also remember you take the risk that there could be an error with the recording.
They stay online for the full semester until the subject is removed from your LMS page.

question: aren't the lecture notes enough to supplement theoretical understanding? Or do you recommend spending additional time on making your own notes?

This sort of question is probably going to warrant a 'it depends on the person' type answer, but I'm just wondering about the different study methods used in uni; they must be quite different to the most efficient methods used to succeed in VCE...

Negative. The lecture slides themselves are rarely enough for understanding the content.
eg in Biology or Physiology there might be a lecture slide with a graph, or an unlabelled diagram. Explanation of said diagram happens verbally by the lecturer. The diagram itself you could probably spend time googling it's meaning or doing further research but really it's quicker to listen to the lecturer for 5 minutes to grasp the idea.

Making your own notes is probably efficient if you're rewriting/reorganising the lecture slides in your own words.

Of course some people can just read over the lecture slides but I find that I have a tough time recalling information if it's not written in my own words. When I summarised the lecture, everything became more clear.

It really does depend on the person. In VCE doing well is mostly about doing the exam well, a skill in and of itself, which comes down to practice exams/essays. In uni there's a lot more of higher level understanding required on a theoretical level because you don't have the opportunity to bust out heaps of practice exams and understand it just in a practical sense. So for most of us mere mortals this does require you to reconfigure the lecturer's notes into an interpretation of your own that makes sense based upon how you think.

any methods of keeping the notes together, so we don't have papers flying around? Like, should we file them away in a folder or something or... [based on your experiences of course  :P ]?

I computerise everything - so basically copy and paste from lecture slides/academic articles/type my own notes into Evernote. Have individual folders and then files for each subject, major, etc.

Depends on the subject Starfish.. If it's one with no exam- keeping all your files on the computer is useful for assignments. If it's one with an exam I tend to use binders.

For most of my subjects I've been unable to jot down the notes quick enough to the lecturer's pace, especially with first year biology. I ended up not going to half my lectures and just watching them on my laptop with control over speed, pausing and rewinding. I did get some very detailed notes this way but I'm starting to wonder if that's a viable study method as I enter second and third year - because it takes so much time to get through a single lecture, as long as 2 hours (longer in many cases).

I just can't stand physical messes and I don't have the time to properly organise a folder haha, so I've stopped using binders. Again it just proves how subjective it is. Ultimately you have to do whatever works for you without driving you insane!

I don't tend to use binders as much now but they're useful for first year where you might need to seperate tutorials/ lecture notes/ prac notes (at least in science anyway) :P

I use Evernote for note taking. Works really well. Available on Mac, Windows, iPhone, Android etc.

My basic strategy is to copy and paste the dot points and any key images/diagrams from the lecture slides prior to the lecture, and then basically just annotate and add to them as the lecture goes on.

If you want to fully get a grasp on the lecture, I find its easy just to make some of your own review questions that cover the key topics of the lecture. Then have a quick look over your notes and answer the questions in your own words. For me, explaining things in your own words is the best way to learn and retain information. If I just listen it's basically in one ear and out the other.

Then, come exam time, I go over all these and make some overarching subject review questions that essentially go section by section. I also might re-listen to some key lectures (provided they are recorded) and polish up my notes.

This can all get a bit laborious but since I've used this kind of method my results have been pretty solid and I tend to stay on top of things.

EDIT: Also, do people think it would be worth making a "General Jaffy advice/Q&A Thread" for stuff like this? i.e. personal strategies for study or general uni advice or getting around the campus etc.

I made one a while ago - will resurrect it.

And yes Evernote is the greatest.
