Title: Monash roll call for 2014
Post by: EspoirTron on January 19, 2014, 06:37:26 pm
Hello everyone,

First of all congratulations to everyone who received and offer on Friday. For anyone who is going to Monash this year, feel free to drop a comment, so that we can see who will be attending this year!

Will you undertake in Australia any units of study contributing to the course of study of which the unit forms a part ? <--- what does this mean. Is this even English?

Post by: alondouek on January 20, 2014, 02:50:20 pm

Righto, I would suggest you make your first year units something like this:

Semester 1
 - ASP1010: Earth to Cosmos - Introductory Astronomy
 - PHS1011: Physics
 - MTH1020: Analysis of Change OR MTH1030: Techniques for Modelling (depending on your level of mathematical ability)
 - An elective from any faculty

Semester 2
 - ASP1022: Life and the Universe
 - PHS1022: Physics
 - MTH1030: Techniques for Modelling OR MTH2010: Multivariable Calculus (if you did 1020 in sem 1, do 1030; if you did 1030 in sem 1, do 2010)
 - An elective from any faculty

Hope this helps! (You can probably find some reviews of these in the Monash University - Subject Reviews & Ratings thread)

Yes! Every faculty has an enquiries desk where you can go to plan out units and the like. I'm not familiar where it is for the Faculty of Arts, but it's probably in the Menzies Building. The faculty website should also have a 'contact us' email, but I can't find it at the moment :)

Thanks, that helps a lot. I'm guessing there aren't any absolutely required units for BSc regardless of major, then?

You're welcome! Nope, the only absolutely required units that BSc students need to take (with some exceptions, I think) are STA1010: Statistical Methods for Science and SCI2010: Scientific Practice and Communication. You can take STA1010 whenever, and SCI2010 after first year.
Title: Re: Monash roll call for 2014

Is anyone able to enrol into units yet?

I haven't filled out the HECS Help section yet, but am predicting you're able to enrol into units + use Allocate once you get past the HECS section? Or is that incorrect and you're meant to pick units later?

Just having a quick look at the BSc Handbook, it says

Code: [Select]
(b.) at least one level-one mathematics or statistics unit from:

MTH1020 Analysis of change
MTH1030 Techniques for modelling
SCI1020 Introduction to statistical reasoning
STA1010 Statistical methods for science

If I'm taking MTH1020/1030, I shouldn't need SCI1020/STA1010 then, right?

Do you have to do this section? Or is it not final, just indicative?

Yeah if you're doing those other maths units you won't need the boring stats unit. The whole idea is to get students to do at least one maths/stats unit if they don't plan on involving maths in their degree, and STA1010 is normally the one that most do. But in your case you'll be able to go without it :)
Title: Re: Monash roll call for 2014
Post by: Kanon on January 20, 2014, 04:07:44 pm
I don't think you have to do it yet, I haven't done it as I'm not sure how my program structure works. So I'll probably just wait until the enrolment day for my course.

Well if you don't apply for HECS you will be paying for uni up front now.

When you enrol in your units it takes about an hour for allocate and wes to change accept your changes to your enrolment so you can use allocate straight away. But play around on MUTTS to work out a timetable that suits you.

I read it all. Technically, all you have to do is click the link to the document on the hecs page. I made the mistake of reading the document before going into the hecs page, put in all my details, and it still errored out because I didn't click the link to the document from that page itself

Bachelor of Economics Advanced with Honours here! :D

Should I bother doing MTH1020, or go straight to MTH1030?
Monash seems to have multiple different prerequisites for MTH1030, with those being:

1) MTH1020
2)Completed VCE Specialist Maths 3/4
3)Completed VCE Specialist Maths 3/4 with at least a B average in the exams
4)Completed VCE Specialist Maths 3/4 with a study score of at least 30

I did Specialist Maths in VCE with only a S/S of 32 (and 37 for Methods), with a B+ in Exam 1 and a C+ in Exam 2. Any opinions? I just hope I won't struggle in MTH1030, especially if there is Linear Algebra (hardly did anything with matrices in Methods apart from Probability and Transformations of Functions).

According to the handbook, you're fine if you want to take MTH1030 as you have a study score above 30. Also, your exam grades average to a B, so that's fine too :)

MTH1030 is apparently pretty tough, but you'll always be taught what's necessary for that unit. If you're not confident about 1030, you can always take MTH1020 and do 1030 if you feel up to it the following semester!

Post by: bobbyz0r on January 20, 2014, 04:34:06 pm
I'll probably go straight to MTH1030. Just read my handbook and the prerequisites for MTH1020 is MTH1010 or Methods with an average exam mark of a C, so it sounds a little bit like a waste of time, especially since it is MTH1030 which is a compulsory unit for me.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but am I able to take MTH1035 instead of MTH1030? My course requires MTH1020 or MTH1030, but given that MTH1035 is just an extension of MTH1030 can that count as the unit?

I think you need the vtac offer letter, some stuff printed out from wes and photo ID? (I think there's something else too)

Wednesday? Everyone's on a different day right? Cos I'm on the 29th...

A lot of people take electives from the Faculty of Arts. Here's a list of areas of study from the Faculty of Arts that you might like to take some electives from?

You might like to pick some things that have no exam, like ATS1305 - Introduction to Film Studies :)

Also I've only heard bad things about materials engineering, can anybody here give an opinion on that too? Thanks :) (btw I've looked and these aren't in the review thread)

Sorry, this may sound like a stupid question but can you still enrol in subjects online if you haven't got a tax file number? I applied for one today and am up to step 3 (on WES I can't move past the HECS loan section and onto the enrol in your units section).  Should I leave it until course enrollment day which is on the 29th for me?

And also, has anyone received an offer letter from monash yet? Will this come in the mail soon or should it have arrived already?

Thanks

There's 2 sessions for each faculty I think. Coming Wednesday (22nd) is the Course Information day where they help with unit selection and all, and the 29th is the actual enrolment day for everyone where you pick up your ID card and confirm your unit selection. Although the course information day may or may not be the same for each faculty.

I asked the same question previously, and it turns out you need to actually fill out the HECS Help section in order to go on and enrol into units.

And yep, i just checked my mail and it included a welcome-pack sort of thing.

Just enrolled in units, was pretty lucky in the fact that I can do MTH1030 (needed 30 for spesh, got 31) and CHM1055 (needed a 37 in chem or 90ATAR, got a 37 in chem). Is anyone else in the same situation as me, not having a TFN and having no idea what to do for the HECS part? (I just chose up front for now)

EDIT: just saw previous posts, I think upfront is the best idea and take the form that shows you've applied for one with you when you go to the information sesh.

Bachelor of Economics Advanced with Honours here! :D

Should I bother doing MTH1020, or go straight to MTH1030?
Monash seems to have multiple different prerequisites for MTH1030, with those being:

1) MTH1020
2)Completed VCE Specialist Maths 3/4
3)Completed VCE Specialist Maths 3/4 with at least a B average in the exams
4)Completed VCE Specialist Maths 3/4 with a study score of at least 30

I did Specialist Maths in VCE with only a S/S of 32 (and 37 for Methods), with a B+ in Exam 1 and a C+ in Exam 2. Any opinions? I just hope I won't struggle in MTH1030, especially if there is Linear Algebra (hardly did anything with matrices in Methods apart from Probability and Transformations of Functions).
You should be absolutely fine if you work your way throughout the semester. Linear algebra is just introductory. You'll be solving equations, taking determinants and inverses and doing transformations with matrices. Equations are straight forward but the determinant is a headache..I mean it's very tedious

There's 2 sessions for each faculty I think. Coming Wednesday (22nd) is the Course Information day where they help with unit selection and all, and the 29th is the actual enrolment day for everyone where you pick up your ID card and confirm your unit selection. Although the course information day may or may not be the same for each faculty.

Thanks!
I just checked: all the double degrees with law are managed by the law fac; so I'll see everyone who's doing something and law on the 29th! :)

Can't really select my units anyway :(

Question for any law double degree students, particularly Com/Law.
In your offer letter thingo from VTAC did they only mention one date (i.e. 29/1/14) for you to attend for enrolment or were there other dates? I only have one but I just feel like there's other course info days as well that I'm unaware of. Anyone??

I have the 22nd for the 'compulsory' info session for engineering + a recommendation for the science info session which is like an hour after the engineering one finishes. I only have one date for enrolment though, don't see why you would have to enrol twice for one course.

i do, but im a bit confused. I'm doing science/law, and the offer letter says that the BSc info session is on the 22nd, while the law double degree info session is on the 29th. So technically, I can't really do unit enrollment till the 29th. But here is the problem. Enrollment ends by the 29th. so does that mean i have to decide on units before going to the law info session? lolwut? can someone confirm

So I think you only go to the info session run by your managing faculty (Law, right?). I don't think you have too much of a problem because I think your Law units are set for first year, and the only choices you need to make are for the BSc units.

If you like, I can help you pick some units for that! The fundamental question is, as always, what are you interested in? :)

Enrolment just involves confirming your place in the course, that you have accepted your offer and getting your id card.
Units can be consistently changed until like the 2nd week of semester. If you are unsure about your units yet you can leave it for now but just make sure you do everything else.

Allocate+ is the actual timetabling system, and I don't think timetabling is open for Jaffys yet! You may need to wait until after enrolments are all done. In the meantime, you can use MUTTS to work up a mock timetable that you can mostly translate to Allocate+ when it opens :)

i'm just wondering is there any science based electives because i really cant find any?

There aren't any units specifically designated 'electives', it's just a "filler" unit that you want to take that's not counting towards a major/minor sequence. You can pick one from the Faculty of Science if you wanted! Perhaps you might be interested in geosciences? If so, have a look at the handbook entries for ESC1011 and ESC1022 :)

I'm able to put preferences in for all of my other Semester 1 units, so I'm assuming it's open

Had a bit of a look around in MUTTS, made a timetable that I thought looked good, only to find upon opening Allocate+ that I completely misunderstood how it works, I had units from different streams selected in MUTTS

LAW1101_CL_S1_DAY/Lecture/02-P2

Does the P1 and P2 mean that it's a two part lecture? So I'd have to enrol in both?  ???
Thanks in advance!

EDIT: If they are both to be taken, do you have to take them in order, or can you take them in reverse (Ie. take P2 on Monday and P1 on Tuesday)? And do you have to take both lectures with the same lecturer?

I have a similar issue. On my VTAC Offer letter it says there's an info session on the 22nd and enrolment on 29th, but in the Monash welcome pack it says students doing a double degree will have a combined session. Does that mean info/enrolment is on the same day or...?

Post by: ShortBlackChick on January 21, 2014, 02:56:32 pm
I'm so sorry to trivialise all your queries but I kinda read this thread and both sigh and cringe. I remember when I was a jaffy and was sooo keen to start uni. But seriously some of you guys are way way way too keen. I remember I picked my units right after the information day. Which is kinda what you're supposed to do, because you've kinda already made going to the information session redundant, coz they just tell you how to pick units and the structure of your course. As I remember, they had stalls outside with info sheets about each major and what units to pick to fullfill that major. Granted this is all info you can find online, which I'm sure yall have done. They hardly mark the roll at these things, so you could probably not go, as far as I know, and just speak to faculty later on if you've already picked your units

In terms of the enrollment day, I feel so old coz its all so hazy in my mind, but there was an info session at Robert Blackwood (for Arts anyway) and some random people, the dean and all came and talked to us, some other random people, then we all had sausages, decent stuff, then I think I got my ID done at student services? Which you can do really, whatever day you want in enrollment week.

THE INFO NO ONE GIVES YOU, BUT YOU WILL REGRET NOT HEARING IS BELOW

Speaking of which, here's the real goods you need, which you wont find anywhere. Nothing on the site or what Monash says will prepare you for this, so listen carefully. When you go to get your ID done, be aware that you will most likely be stuck with this photo for the REST OF YOUR LIFE. Have your hair done decently, makeup not too excessively (girls). I'm sure others can add to these tips but seriously. Girls you dont need to get your arms out ready to tactfully place on your hip, nor do you need to pucker those heavily lipglossed/lipsticked lips. Make sure your face isnt too oily. HERE IS THE BIG ONE GALS. DO NOT TILT YOUR HEAD. YOU WILL REGRET IT.
Smile gracefully, as you would expect to do were you to butter up some poor old lady INVIGILATING YOUR EXAMS. Because seriously, in regards to the head tilt, in my ID my head is almost like parallel to my shoulders, so in exams I find myself smiling and tilting my head for the poor old lady/man who comes to check my ID. And then I break my neck. Bless those invigilator souls though. Boys, dont do some cheesy ass smile as if you've just perved on every girl who just walked by (we all know you did, uni girls are hot granted, but subtlety is the key) brush your hair, wear a decent shirt. The biggest thing you need to prepare though, is when the student services attendant points this bug/leela like contraption at you, is to brace yourself, yes mofo's it is a webcam taking your ID picture. Dont express your shock too loudly, they'll laugh at you, like the madmen they are for subjecting us to an ID picture taken by a WEBCAM. Finally, dont bother having a cow at how your ID expires in 2016 even though you're doing a double degree. No one knows what happens there and what magical lottery determines what year your ID expires. I'm doing a single degree, which I should have finished by this year, yet it expires in 2015. Hmmmmm maybe it is magic, not gonna finish my degree this year, HOW DID THEY KNOW??!

CHM1051 will allow you to do CHM2990 (Second-year research unit) in the following year if you choose to
If you aren't further pursuing chemistry, or not majoring in it, then there's no problem
Title: Re: Monash roll call for 2014
Post by: DisaFear on January 21, 2014, 11:51:52 pm
so if I go with the chm1011 -> chm1022 pathway for first year, I can only minor in chemistry?

Oh no, of course you can major in it!

What I'm saying is that the advanced chemistry unit allows you to take a second-year research unit. I'm assuming that if you are interested in further Chemistry, you will probably be interested in research

Aka, if you want to make Chemistry one of your majors, it will be a good idea to have a research unit under your belt, whether at second or third year, it doesn't matter. CHM1051 will allow you to do the second-year research unit (they're changing the pre-reqs for that unit to allow this)

However, you can still do the normal chem units, you can minor or major and you can, if interested, do a third-year research project

None of this research stuff will make sense to you so don't stress. Stick with that you're going for, it'll work out :)

Technically you're not meant to attend lectures you're not enrolled in for capacity reasons. The lecture theater can only safely (and i guess legally with OH&S ?) hold a certain number of people. In first year biology, we had one of the biggest theaters on campus but there were heaps of people sitting near doors, on steps, in the aisles because people who weren't assigned to the better spot showed up to it. Lecture attendance usually dramatically drops off about half way through semester though.

Can confirm this happened to me in my first chemistry lecture of one of the semesters. If it appears that there is absolutely no way to seat everyone in a lecture theatre, then it becomes an OH&S issue, so the lecturer may advise you to attend another stream (or if he/she is very kind, they'll contact another lecturer and hold the exact same lecture at a different place). That being said, cross-streaming of lectures is very common at uni, and it's not really a big issue. As slothpomba mentions, typically lecture attendance decreases as the semester goes on. So if you're patient enough, you should be able to attend lectures from different streams as time goes on! (just take some care - if a lecture is likely to be full, it's probably a sign of courtesy to let those who originally enrolled in that stream to attend it.)

Mine in South 1 were more or less over capacity. There were a few seats that were easily accessible, some were like 5 deep in a row, with people on either end to get to it, so next to impossible.

It might have just been the times that year. I remember i got allocated into the really choice time, the other was a really shitty one. It actually got pretty damn bad, like, if there was a fire, people were blocking all the aisles and doors and stuff. They even threatened to check I.D's or timetables at the door, i dont know how they'd manage that but hey they said it.

Mine in South 1 were more or less over capacity. There were a few seats that were easily accessible, some were like 5 deep in a row, with people on either end to get to it, so next to impossible.

It might have just been the times that year. I remember i got allocated into the really choice time, the other was a really shitty one. It actually got pretty damn bad, like, if there was a fire, people were blocking all the aisles and doors and stuff. They even threatened to check I.D's or timetables at the door, i dont know how they'd manage that but hey they said it.

Was this a couple of years ago? I know that enrolment was still very high for last year, but the faculty probably lucked out with their time allocations; I went to different lecture periods depending on what sort of week I had, and numbers were pretty much consistent between streams.

like a few posters before, how am I able to do the unit enrolment if I have yet to complete the HECS part (as I am getting a tfn sooner/later) ? Or on the enrolment day, will they just allow me to open up the unit enrolment part and I can proceed on the day?

This was a question that was asked at my course info session day and those facing this dilemma were told to choose the pay upfront button instead of what you would normally choose. But when you get your tfn you just have to change it from pay upfront to the other option. Also I think this has to be done before the census date otherwise you might incur some additional charges.

There's only one in Science, but there's two in Engineering. The Engineering ones go in more depth into applications of it and such, the Science one focuses more on the mathematics of the situation given.
Science Unit:
MTH3360 - Fluid dynamics
Engineering Units:
MEC2404 - Fluid mechanics I
MEC3451 - Fluid mechanics II

EDIT: Coincidentally this is post number 3360, the number code for the maths unit mentioned :P

I agree, this is absolutely awesome. Also, since we're doing the same double, it just makes it all that more excited!

how exactly do I change it to an upfront payment in the enrolment process?


What seemed to work was that I had to choose "no" for the part in HECS-help askign if i was to take studying this unit in australia (something like that and its the page before you fill the actual HECS form). It allowed me to open my unit enrolments but then that hecs form section was no longer there :/

Speaking of paying upfront, wanted to ask something off that, when do we pay the $500? Is this on enrolment day?

It's optional to pay anything, i've never paid a single cent (i assume you're talking about the SSAF, you can defer it and put it on loan). That said, you can probably ask them on the day or email monash and they'll point you in the right direction.

Oh wow. So did my sister then. LOL. That's disappointing though. I thought Bentham was a good part of the course, as brutal as it was. Oh well you're probably put at an advantage anyway for having honed your Arts skills, if only a tiny bit!

Yes, we do have a few caufielders around here! Monash publishes student number statistics, might want to get a hold of those, i haven't personally noticed a *huge* increase at clayton, at the times i'm there.

Try taking the Caulfield-Clayton shuttle bus at 5pm to Caulfield (please don't, lol, you'd only make the problem worse), only then can you comprehend the magnitude of the massive student influx.

Every time I see the Caufield-Clayton shuttle bus, it's packed to the brim. I should stay back at 5pm one day and see how crowded it is, haha

I'm usually near the Caulfield bus-stop waiting to be picked up, at around 6.00-6.30. I see the bus arrive twice, and it's usually packed to capacity even at that time somehow.

It doesn't seem to be that bad during the morning (<9AM). If I'm waiting when the bus arrives I can usually get a seat. My housemate drives past Caulfield on his way to work so I usually get him to drop me off there and I catch the shuttle to campus.

On the way back, I get the 601 and a train instead. I'll pay the $1.70 not to be packed in like a sardine in a tin, thanks.
