Title: Monash University subject choice thread 2017
Post by: Sine on January 29, 2017, 02:52:23 pm
As per Alter's thread for UoM.
UoM subject choice thread 2017
As a continuation from threads in previous years, this is a thread where you can post what subjects you're doing this year. This is useful for looking to see what other people are doing in common, or future subjects you might be interested in doing so that you can ask questions. We can also use it for seeking advice on which subjects to do for certain pathways etc

Semester 1 2017

    BMS1011: Biomedical chemistry
    BMS1021: Cells, tissues and organisms
    BMS1031: Medical biophysics
    MTH1030: Techniques for modelling

Semester 2 2017

    BMS1042: Public health and preventive medicine
    BMS1052: Human neurobiology
    BMS1062: Molecular biology
    MTH2010: Multivariable calculus

EDF5017: Numeracy for learners and teachers

Do they teach you actual math in a teaching degree? Or is that expected knowledge for going into a Masters?

Content knowledge is assumed for your particular methods. You don't actually get taught content.. so for my methods being Maths and IT.. I haven't learnt any content, its more how to teach these methods to students. That unit in particular you're referring to is core for every MTeach student, meaning it won't be difficult in terms of math content but will more so focus on numeracy in the context of teaching these skills to someone else.

I mean - i've already had 3 years of content knowledge in statistics and IT during my undergrad. The gaps that I need to fill, I do so whilst on placement.

 Make sure you don't start any quiz in ETC1000 a little early before your computer lab starts.....I started one literally 3 minutes early at 9:57 instead of 10:00 because we were let in our computer lab room like 5 minutes early and they gave me a 0 for the quiz :(.

I hope you're enjoying camp, my fellow research friend. B)

It also looks like you've had a bit of a chat to Lincoln and/or the MASS^3 people that have been around, I reckon you'll have a fun semester!

Semester 1:
PHS2061: Quantum and Thermal Physics
PHS2081: Atomic, Nuclear and Condensed Matter Physics

No MTH2025? :'( But Tim is literally bae! Tim Baeroni!!

Semester 1:

Any particular reason you're going in without CHM1011? You might find you struggle a bit with the second half of CHM1022 without it...

And as for me:

Semester 1:
CHM4100
CHM4201

Semester 2:
CHM4100

I did this and had no issues, but I did VCE Chemistry the year before.

Anyway, here's mine.
Semester 1:
GEN3040 - Genomics and its Applications
GEN3051 - Medical and Forensic Genetics
BIO3011 - Research Methods in Biology
CHM2911 - Inorganic and Organic Chemistry

Semester 2:
GEN3030 - Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Genetics
GEN3062 - Evolutionary and Ecological Genetics

yeah I think it's alright to do chm1022 without chm1011 no real knowledge expected. However it may be a steep learning curve for the chemical language if you haven't done chemistry in VCE.

EDIT: pretty sure user has done chem in vce since it's a prerequisite for biomed @ monash

It's not really a content gap I'm worried about - sure, they won't know orbitals and that might prove annoying and will have to be learned in own time. Also not knowing the Beer-Lambert Law might make some pre-lab stuff really damned hard, but there's not much crossover otherwise.

I'm more worried about the style of thinking - I know for a fact that if I did CHM1022 without CHM1011, I would have failed it. I mean, if you want to skip it, by all means, skip it - was just curious as to why you would.

I am doing CHM1011 this year. Due to bad eyesight, I changed the wrong units without knowing. This is probably why I prefer to lurk  :P

LOL dw - for ages they had ASP1010 on my enrollment when I literally had no more room for it, even if I overloaded. It happens. :P

Thanks for the tip! Did the tutor just say that there was nothing they could do?
