Do not navigate your way through monash smartphone app. Instead learn the map :)
jaffy here: with that monash echo service can I seriously watch any recorded lecture from any unit regardless of whether I'm enrolled in that unit?

jaffy here: with that monash echo service can I seriously watch any recorded lecture from any unit regardless of whether I'm enrolled in that unit?Yes you can. I was watching some second and third year units recordings out of curiosity :P
A lot of the echos seem to be down now, some that were up a month or so ago are completely gone. Do they wipe the service at the start of every year?
Also, why can we watch Med lectures if we can't attend them at uni? Some kind of space type thing?
With regards to the online recordings on Echo, its probably good to note that not all units are recorded onto Echo. It's totally up to the lecturers discretion if they want the lecture to be recorded. Some dont record because they'd prefer people came to the lectures instead of skipping them and watching them online. If you have a clash, you might want to email the lecturers of both units and ask if they record their lectures.
7. Students are entitled to various pieces of free software, most of them are stuff the average student wouldn't want but some are great.
do lecture theatres have plug points to charge laptops?
does the lecturer give out notes to us or do we just have to make our own while he/she talks?
Hopefully should be my last jaffy query - can you do a subject and its prereq simultaenously (if there aren't any prohibitions)? Like how Methods 3/4 is a prereq for Spesh 3/4, but if you're doing methods at the same time as spesh, it's allowed.
No-one likes the awkward conversation in week 11 of "OK, I'll add you on facebook.... what was your name again sorry?" or whatever reason it may be.
Hi there, on the 24th theres a compulsory science welcome and faculty orientation that goes from 11-2. Just wondering if its worth going to? Will i be missing a lot if i cant make it? What do they even talk about?
have I misunderstood the meaning of those percentages? I thought they represented the capacity of the slots and if somebody puts a slot as their first preference then it would consider that when calculating the capacity. So under that model you'd have the average percentage being 100 percent assuming everybody's chosen a first preference and the capacity is based on the max students a room can hold with there being an equal number of students in each slot. But clearly here the average is >100 percent so whatthehell.jpg
I'm yet to eat at MP as I've had quite a bit of anecdotal evidence that it's food poisoning galore (???) Even had one dude tell me he had to defer because he at there o.o
On the topic of kosher food: There are no certified kosher establishments on campus, but the vegetarian places are probably okay and MonJSS (the Jewish Students' Society) run free barbecues multiple times during semester, as well as free bagels etc. during their weekly programs (also no, you don't need to pretend to be Jewish to get food :P ).
Organisations such as Chabad also run kosher barbecues most weeks.
btw what optional events in the orientation e-planner do you guys suggest?

Been awhile since most of us have done orientation. Can we get like a list or a screenshot or something?
I was talking to the microbiology PhD's, apparently they swabbed it and found some interesting things.... I've heard it can sometimes allegedly be bad too (so can the downstairs noodle place) but my own person experience is fine. I guess part of that is because i only eat vegetarian so there's less chance of getting sick.
Free bagels hey....i reckon i could pass for being Jewish anyway
COME JOIN MUSLCC KTHAAAAAAAAAAAAANKSFor some reason i dont feel the most welcome
Hey guys, so for my course, theres 2 compulsory sessions, one on Wednesday, the other on Thursday. Just want to know if the stalls, events and happenings are similar everyday? I'm just planning to go on the last 3 days, or is it good to just go all 5 days? Cheers
First off, the MSA Orientation Festival only runs from Monday to Thursday (as in, the clubs won't be there on Friday).
How long are your compulsory sessions? I didn't have time to see the festival on the days of my compulsory sessions because they were all-day things, and the stalls are only there from 11am to 3pm. They are usually the same each day, but some stalls may only run events on certain days.
Last year, I went for the whole week, because I didn't finish seeing all the stalls in one day (and I also had two all-day compulsory sessions).
I recommend at least one full day of just checking out the Orientation Festival, going around to all the stalls, joining all the clubs, grabbing all the free food. Go with your friends. It's a lot of fun.
We often have vegetarian options at our bbq's.

Yeah most of them are more or less similar across the week that they're happening in. Honestly, when i did it, i looked around for about an hour, got my books, realised they were heavy as hell and went home (the twine of the bag they gave me was digging into my hand). So, definitely don't buy your books first, you shouldn't even be buying them on campus unless you've left it impossibly late and cant find any 2nd hand.
You can definitely see everything in a day, hell under a day. I cant imagine why you'd need to go back multiple days to do it but that varies based on everyones schedule and wants.
Not everyone is lucky enough to go to a good highschool (good enough so people get into Monash) or have friends going to Monash (this was certainly true for me) :P Might be worth being a little more considerate that other peoples circumstances may vary.

I'm feeling like I've left textbooks to the last minute... I bought 1 book 2 months ago, and now I'm constantly e-mailing/texting all these people for books :P I may not have a choice now, but to get the trades during o-week :/
Yeah, true, I should have clarified that you can always go with non-Monash friends anyway (provided that they're free on the day). O-Week at Monash (Clayton, at least) is pretty much just a giant festival that anyone can enjoy. It might be hard to make new friends on the day (because it's so busy and loud), but if you meet someone at an orientation session or something beforehand, definitely ask them to tag along.
Or if you don't have any friends at all (which is also perfectly fine), go it alone and you'll get through the stalls a lot faster.

Haha, agreed. There's 3 others going to Monash, except Clayton, from my school. So new friends (hopefully) it is!
Another tip: This is for all year levels, however I'm not sure if this has been posted
To view your timetable early, go onto my.monash and click on Calendar in the Google Apps section (its on the right hand side for me) .
Then use the arrows to navigate to week I and some if not all of your timetable should have appeared
I partially wonder if we will actually get a video recording of lectures in S1-4 this year. With the refurbishments and such, they've installed 4 screens in the foyer area of S1-4 which are supposedly going to stream what's happening in the lecture theatre live to the foyer.
http://fsd.monash.edu.au/capital-major-works/s1-lecture-theatre-refurbishment
Although there's a part of me that doubts that we'd get it that good to actually get recordings that way.
Ok this is really random but do monash students get a Monash uni diary or does that not exist?
Is it possible to get away with not buying the textbooks, and just continuously borrowing them from the library?
And is the MSA card just for Clayton? Does it give the membership discount for Caulfield clubs?
Just a warning, got to Monash at 10:25 Monday morning and have already seen 3 parking inspectors!

when they email you your workshop group number, are you meant to go to those times? Because before the email i did my own orientation and i chose my own group number for better times.
Question! Are there going to be stalls all this week, even on Friday? For some reason, I feel as though I read somewhere that the stalls are there just Monday-Thursday.. Any confirmation?
I believe this is correct, the MSA O-Week festival (including Clubs & Societies) runs Mon-Thurs
Seems as though Clayton students outnumber Caulfield students on here :P
I should have mentioned I'm at Caulfield :)
My bad! The MONSU Caulfield O-Week is from March 3 to March 6 as per http://www.monsucaulfield.org.au/events-detail.asp?id=152&m=201403
I just logged onto allocate, and this came up. Do I need to do anything else, like register for the specific class or whatnot?Nah it should be like that, so you're allocated to the first prac timeslot (the Wednesday one). If there were still slots open then "Full" would read "Pick Me" and you'd be able to swap into other labs/lectures if you wanted to. In this case you can't change anyways since they're all full up :P

Nah, pretty sure that counts as you being registered for that class
Got all of my first preferences, but one! :(
Its for a 1.00PM tutorial, which was my first preference, but got a 9.00AM tutorial on the same day instead. Is there anything I can do to get that 1.00PM tutorial?

Got all of my first preferences, but one! :(Well, you can sit on allocate all day refreshing to see if someone moves out of it and a slot opens up (the "Full" will change to "Pick me" and ninja yourself in before someone else does. If it's a popular tute then no one will probably move out of it, but depends really. If you're willing to sit on allocate all day it 'might' pay off.

Got all my first prefs again woohoo!! So one of my lectures isn't showing up on allocate+ though. It is auto allocated but half an hour of it clashes with another lecture. Is this maybe why?
Anyone know the likelihood of lecturers agreeing to record lectures if you email them? I just emailed the ACC1000 lecturer John Gerrand re: recording lectures so I hope he agrees! :S
haha from what I've heard from friends in Commerce, there is a 0% chance of John Gerrand recording his lectures. He's been pretty adamant about that in the past, apparently.
Is it possible to just unroll from a elective with crappy time slots and enrol in another elective that works with your timetable better?
Ok this info might be lingering around somewhere but when's the last date we get to change our timetable slots for tutes/lectures? I might change it around a little but first I wanna go to my lectures and see if I'm better of watching them online or actually going to them..
How do you address lecturers/professors/etc. in emails? Dear/Hi/Hello/? and by their first name or Mr/Mrs _ ?? Haha it's a bit silly but I'm just curious!Wondering this as well haha

Ok cool
Do we get given our unit guides in hard copy or do we have to print it out/have our own copy?

Not a Jaffy but I certainly feel like one at the moment:
I've just changed a unit, and the lab I want (need) clashes with a lecture, thus it won't let me enrol in it. How can I go about getting this lab? Do I need to submit some form or something?
It depends on the faculty as to the process, but if you check out the link below you should find your answer :)
https://monash.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2894
Thank you so much! I'm at the clash request form, however my new unit isn't showing up on the list of which unit to select as the "problem unit" (the old unit is instead). Given that the new unit is already in Allocate+ but not yet in Moodle, how long do you think I'll need to wait until the form updates?
Umm.. Do trains usually run on public holidays (since Labour Day is coming up soon)?
If I change one of my units in WES, will my timetable be affected at all? I might change one, but I don't wanna risk anything wrong happening.
Guys for one of my subjects the tutes are completely full! What do i do?? I can't change to another unit because this is the only unit that dooesn't clash with my timetable!! :SAnd you haven't been allocated to a tutorial? :S
This is probably a really stupid question, but how do you know where your lectures ARE? Is it just written on your timetable or what...?
When you have a look at your timetable it should say this
ATS2340_CL_S1_DAY
Lecture, 01
CL_24/S6
3/3-14/4, 28/4-26/5
The numbers underneath llecture 1 is the room. So Cl is clayton campus, the number after that eg. 24, is the building and the letters/numbers after that is the room. So my lecture for this subject is in building 24 room S6.
I suggest downloading the monash app which has an interactive map on it to help you get around. :)

Ohhh, so Building B, Floor 4, Room 77. Sweet, thanks!
ENG1091 not showing in moodle.My maths unit still isn't up either (MTH3051, run by the same faculty as ENG1091 even though it's an eng unit), with that being said I know others who have other maths units up. I'm hoping the lecturer has just forgot to click the button to show it, but have a feeling it could be a part of the industrial action that NTEU were going to take regarding moodle. We'll see in time.
Also what are support classes ?
What do you do in support class ? Is it like tutorial?

Do I count as a jaffy? :p
Do we need to print off lecture slides?? Don't the lecturers display the slides in every lecture anyway or am I wrong? I just don't find it useful to annotate slides but I prefer instead to write down my own notes so I"m thinking of not printing them off. I mean, I'll still have access to electronic copies..
Thought so :P
Ok each to their own, I know, but what do you guys generally do (that you think was effective for you) in lectures? Do you just listen, write on/annotate slides, just write in a notebook or use a laptop and type notes/important points? Do you leave it at that or write more detailed notes based on pre-readings/ after listening to the actual lecture? Sorry I know these questions probably commonly come up but I need to know what was effective for people so I can implement/try it out myself.
- Will there be cafes and such open at this time?
- Where's the best place to get breakfast/coffee?

Is there any way you can avoid getting there 90 minutes early? It's good to have a comfortable buffer zone incase you're late but 90 minutes is huge. I don't think much of anything will be open, i guess try it and once and see, that'll be the ultimate test of it. The MSA has free breakfast every wednesdays starting 8am i think it is too if you want to look into that. If you're smart about it, 90 minutes is enough to get to the city and back probably, you could try that.
My first day sucked. I hate it. Can I drop out now?
Hey all. Today my human rights lecturer told us that the subject is being recorded and that today's should be up ~1 hour after the end of the lecture. human rights isn't even on the list. Additionally, my korean lecturer told us something similar, and while that is on the list, echo isn't loading anything for the subject. Should I just wait it out?
My first day sucked. I hate it. Can I drop out now?
It's either that or take four buses to get there just 10 minutes earlier.
Complaining for 25 contact hours? What even, I do in excess of 45 hours (8-5pm, if not starting earlier) not including 10+ hours of travel...

Day 1 was really good. Made sure I wasn't loud af as to not disturb the returning 2nd/3rd/4th and on year students.
Found out that the Microeconomics (ECF1100) lecturer is a bloody legend, dude's engaging and hilarious. Made sure I didn't sleep for 2 hours!
Can anyone explain the large amount of hate people have towards Mannix residents? I don't understand.
In just over one year on campus, I've heard absolutely nothing, neither positive or negative, about Mannix College or it's residents.
We do all hate Jaffys, however :P
Lectures in echo centre don't load in firefox but work fine in chrome, what doI find it easier to just download them (through chrome) and then watch in vlc, sometimes at 2x or 3x speed (some lecturers talk reallllly slowly... -.-). But yeah, I think they've had that issue with chrome every now and then (sometimes it'll work fine, other days it won't).
pls don't say use chrome

Question because it's a given that you're better at computer stuff: When I try to download the video file from Echo360 (using chrome), the file just never finishes downloading, but it will stop growing in size (?) after the download file gets to a certain size. To quote achre: What do?It doesn't normally know what the file size of the file it's downloading is, so it'll normally just keep going until the size stops getting bigger, without giving a percentage. At that point the download normally finishes (check in your downloads folder if you've got the uncompleted file thing or the finished file, the latter works 9 out of 10 times for me, on the odd occasion it'll get stuck but is normally resolved by restarting the download).

the way i laid it out (accidentally) coincides with the order jaffys will need this knowledge.I disagree and demand to be immediately told what the chamber of secrets is.

Jaffy Question: I was offered a Monash UniStart Bursary, I just accepted it online now is it possible for me to find how much it's worth? :D It says on the website it's a minimum of $500
#indamoniez
Some students applauded the lecturer in his second lecture in eng1060..I was face palming :D :D
So far the plan is to take all $500 out in 5 dollar notes and have a money fight.
Some students applauded the lecturer in his second lecture in eng1060..I was face palming :D :D
You applaud guest speakers, and the lecturer's last lecture.
God, I would've face palmed too.
As well as those, in biomed we've regularly applauded:
- When a lecture was particularly entertaining
- When a lecture made all the other theory click into place (hell yeah)
- Just because someone starts clapping randomly at the end of the lecture (arbitrary applause is the best kind of applause)
It's pretty common I reckon, I've seen in in two faculties past the Jaffy level
You biomed kids sure are strange.

damn i find the math lectures on echo (eng1091) to not be that great, the lecturer pretty much only records his voiceIf they don't record what they write down then most of the time they'll upload the transparency sheets that they write on, although some upload them only at the end of the week. They did this back when I took ENG1091 and the recordings weren't too bad to follow, not sure who would be taking it now (check out the other stream's lecture recordings and see if it's any better or not).
When writing an email asking permission to do a unit you don't have all the pre reqs for, what/how much are you supposed to write? Is it like a proper application where you try and showcase yourself and why you are capable of doing this particular unit, or should it be very short, and they'll check if there's enough room and let you in?
The thing is though, it isn't a form. I was told that I need to email the chief examiner for the unit asking for permission, so all relevent details will be in there.
I'm planning on just writing "Hi [name], I'm writing to you seeking permission to do [Unit Code] [Unit Title] in [Semester Year]." So stuff like "I got such and such in VCE topic similar to unit content" and "I require this unit for the area of study I'm currently planning on majoring in but can't otherwise fit it in" is just fluff?
Hi guys for exams, are we allowed to take our bags in with us and keep them under our desks? Like will we get in trouble if we have notes in our bags, even if we don't use them and it's all under the table? Also, can we just bring in a normal pencil case or are we supposed to bring our stationery in something clear? (clear pencil case, ziplock bag etc.)
