When it opens tomorrow, you won't be able to load it/the portal/the study plan properly. Don't complain. This is an important part of the Melbourne Model experience. Watching a blank screen load for several minutes builds character. Don't worry about it, you will be able to edit your timetable eventually.
(also post here your tales of glorious victory over the ISIS system and how happy/furious you are with your timetable)
I will start by posting mine:
happy about having tuesday off and all afternoons off. only 3 9am starts is nice as well but there are a couple of breaks there that aren't so great (monday). But I really love this timetable, my best one yet!

What time does the timetable open tomorrow?
-
Russ how do you already have yours o-o?
What time does the timetable open tomorrow?
10am apparently.
-
Easiest way is to go here;
https://sis.unimelb.edu.au/cgi-bin/subjects.pl
List all your subjects and they'll all come up in same page.
-
Russ how do you already have yours o-o?
The only variability I have is in the Thursday 10am tute, which can only go in 1 of 2 spots. The rest are all lectures or lecture "tutes"
-
Damnit. I have a 1hr lecture, a 2hr lecture, a 2hr seminar and a 2hr workshop one after another on Fridays. That's 10-5:15 with only a 15 minute break in between.
-
serious problem: https://sis.unimelb.edu.au/cgi-bin/subjects.pl?scode=MGMT10002&year=2011
the tute is missing >:(
-
That's not a serious problem: lots of subjects don't have classes added yet. It'll probably be on the system tomorrow morning and even if it isn't, they'll have a way for you to get enrolled in one. Two of my three workshops for this summer weren't on the system either, so we were just streamed into them.
My OB tute isn't up yet either. Must be a management thing.
-
cool! but it would be nice to have it now so i can make this draft /sigh!
-
do i need to register in to lectures
what i mean is, even if i put down a lecture in my registration tomrorow, i can show up to whatever lecture repeat i want right?
its tutes i have to be registered in, as there will be attendance taken :)
-
If all goes to plan, I'll have a 2 hour gap after 12 every day apart from Monday when it's only 1 hour. And since labs are fortnightly, I finish at 12 on Wednesday + Friday.
Also 10am (maybe even 11am since lectures are flexible and I'm lazy/tired/in a complicated relationship with my bed) starts everyday.
...If all goes to plan. But my internet is currently slower than a dead turtle (this is why you're currently reading words and not looking at a pretty colour co-ordinated timetable) plus the study planner is dodgy so I'm not counting on getting what I want.
And damn you psych and your afternoon lectures.
-
Is there anyway to get it into a 'table' format instead of a list?
-
/cries/ I'm going to miss it so bad.
-
How long after lectures is optimal to go to the tutorial?
-
^ Well, the tutorial for any given week will generally cover the previous weeks lecture material. For that reason I usuall try and get most of my tutes on monday or tuesday so that I can finish one thing before I start another, so to speak. But it's all up to you, just see what works.
-
Does it matter where we position our tutorials and practical sessions in the week? Should they follow or precede our lectures?
-
It doesn't matter because you won't have a tutorial in the first week anyway.
I always had my Psych tutes on Monday and all Psych lectures were Tues/Weds/Thurs.
So that was before the lectures and it didn't hinder me at all, I got H1s.
To be honest you could (theoretically, without an attendance hurdle) skip all your tutorials for first year and still get H1s.

Thanks for that, I'm glad a certain order isn't required.
If you don't mind me asking - do you enjoy your Psychology lectures? I'm trying it this year and I'm a little unsure about it having never done psychology before.
-
I'm looking at SIS atm and practically drooling. Highly unlikely to have to come to uni on mondays or friday or to have to wake up before 8. I love you melbourne uni!
-
I had never done it before and now I'm probably going to major in it! :D
I loved Psychology last year. I won't be doing it in 2011, because I'm going back to first year to avoid horrible media and communications subjects but I will resume in 2012 providing I actually accept my Science offer and don't revert to Biomed in the next 1 hour and 54 minutes.
I really enjoyed studying it, there is a lot of diversity, I feel, in what you're taught and from what I hear from other students, it's better to not have done psych in VCE because it can be a little repetitive if you've already studied the subject before.
But you should find it awesome if you like Science and you like Arts and you like combining the two. There's a reason it's offered through both faculties.

Haha, funny how that works, you end up finding something you love to do right out of the blue!
Ohhh, isn't Media and Communications very good?
I am a little anxious to begin psychology because I have it set in my mind that the work will be beyond my capabilities! I didn't do science in VCE but I have enjoyed Chemistry/Biology in the past so hopefully that proves to be a good mix. I'll have to see how I go, I suppose, it's worth a shot :)

Media and Comm is good for some people, but not for me. I decided I didn't want to be a journalist anymore and although I can study psych from Media, I'd rather not suffer the turmoil and risk entry into the Honours program with bad subjects.
You will be fine, the only real 'science' part of the course is the first unit in MBB1, but even that is explained very well and with very extensive notes and slides from the lecturer.
-
Is this like...first come first serve?
-
Is this like...first come first serve?
Yep which is why I will have the shittest timetable of you all.
-
But there are so many repeat sessions..?
-
But there are so many repeat sessions..?
Of what, lectures? Yeah. But tutes, I don't want to go to uni any more than necessary.
Actually OMG GUYS WE MIGHT BE LEANING BACK TOWARDS BIOMED.
-
Is it a bad idea to have 3 lectures in a row?
-
No that's a great idea.
Wait for this:

-
How quickly do the classes tend to fill up for the first year subjects? Like, is it a matter of minutes, hours, days?
-
No that's a great idea.
Really? Wouldn't you be brain dead by the 3rd lecture? Or does it not matter?
-
No that's a great idea.
Really? Wouldn't you be brain dead by the 3rd lecture? Or does it not matter?
I just wanted to be at uni for as condensed a time as possible due to course hate so I guess it depends but even when I do this timetable I will gladly do five hours of uni straight. There is always time to run for coffee during the 10 minute break thingie between lectures (for transport purposes) and as long as you don't have the horrible 'oh my god this lecture is in the botany building and then the next one in the Spot!' dilemma it shouldn't be a problem.
Maybe for first semester you could try spacing them out a little more if you want so you can figure out how much lecture your brain can sustain.
-
Well it means me staying at the uni for another 3-4 hours if I skip one of the lectures and do it later in the day.
-
Is it a bad idea to have 3 lectures in a row?
It might get a little dry by the time you are onto your third
Breaking it up with tutes is better
But ultimately you want a timetable where your tutes are condensed in the least possible days
Having a tute on each of your 5 days means that you have to go into Uni every day of the week
Conversely, if you fill up monday and tuesday with your tutorials and lectures on the rest of the days, it means that if you want you can skip those days without any major issue.

THIS WAS MY TIMETABLE LAST SEMESTER. I'm not even enrolled at the moment.

WHICH DAYS/MORNINGS ARE THE BEST TO GET OFF IN TERMS OF UNI PARTYING/GOING OUT?
-
WHICH DAYS/MORNINGS ARE THE BEST TO GET OFF IN TERMS OF UNI PARTYING/GOING OUT?
Tuesdays and Thursdays are usually uni nights at a lot of clubs. So if you can get Wednesdays and Fridays off that is good
-
Get Wednesday and Thursday afternoons off, if possible. Also Friday mornings. Your best bet is to stack as many classes as possible on Mondays and Fridays. Definitely get Wednesday afternoons off, if nothing else.

So would a tute followed by two lectures be a better idea?
-
Okay I have the option of taking tuesday off or taking thursday off (If I've timetabled correctly :S)...
Anyone know which one would be better to have off?
-
Tuesday imo? I don't know about biomed assessment but everything I ever had due was due on a Wednesday or Thursday.
-
Tuesday imo? I don't know about biomed assessment but everything I ever had due was due on a Wednesday or Thursday.
Yeah, I was leaning towards tuesday just cos I'm the most tired at the start of the week so a break on a tuesday would probably be better. Thanks for the extra info! I'll take tuesday off then, hopefully things will be due on a wed + thurs, that would be perfect :) (unless somebody else has any other objections?)

Why wednesday afternoon?

Anyone know? Need to work out if I should stay home tomorrow morning; got my timetable planned out and perfectly and don't want to have it messed up :P

Okay so it depends but, to be honest, if you want to enroll at 10am you'll be sitting in front of the computer for about three hours.
I was last semester.
Some classes don't fill up immediately but I feel last semester the timetabling opening date was less well known as what it is this year.
For first year subjects, I would be wanting to sign up as soon as possible if you're dead set on the timetable you want.
You all got told when timetabling opened on AAD.
-
WTF DO I DO IF TWO LECTURES CLASH WHEN THEY HAVE NO REPEATS?
-
We're only enrolling into first semester tomorrow, right?!
-
Correct.
Which lectures are they, I can probs tell you if they're recorded.
You usually email the subject coordinator asking if their lecture is recorded or if they will consider recording it for the benefit of the people with the clash.
-

Go to one and read the lecture notes for the other.

argh i cant believe you have no pracs this semester

Russ whys you got such low hours! jealous :(
-
gaygaygaygaygaygaygaygaygaygaygaygay
stupid linguistics has to have its lectures on tuesday and thursday.
i managed to squeeze everything else into monday + wednesday + friday. :(
edit: here is what i suppose I will try for. yay to suicide mondays :/
-
stonecold, what about lunch on Mondays? Also, maths at 9am? It's going to be an intense day for 12 weeks for you if you decide to rock up for all of Mondays.
-

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
@first year biomed kids, the 8am chemistry lecture is the worst thing you will ever do in your life. Enjoy :)
I eat in lectures all the time when I have 4+ consecutive, it's not that bad.
As for timetabling, not all the spaces are available at 10am this morning, the uni opens up more spots in the tutes as the month progresses (to stop people from being screwed over if they're not at a PC). You won't be able to access the lagging crappy timetable program for the first few hours this morning so relax :P
-
Here's what I'm gonna try to create today, if anyone sees any major flaw in it let me know..
-
You'll need to be on top of biology because your tute is at the start of the week. I had it there and for the entire semester I just mooched off other people because I had no idea what was going on (also, you didn't do biology in year 12 so you should start all guns blazing)
e, would there be any interest in a biology session for 1st year biomed students who didn't take biology in year 12? I need a project for Feb...
-
Hey.
On two days I have four lectures in a row due to my breadth subject.
Is that a bit extreme? Has anyone here done this before?
-
It won't kill you. I find that the 10 minute walk around uni whilst talking to mates is often enough to refresh me for the next lecture. Just buy coffee if you're getting tired.
-

Cheers. Lots of coffee for me :)
-
3 subjects I want to do all have exactly the same lecture time on tuesday. Sucks big time
-
Will it matter if i have two lectures for chem and physics then a tute, and the third lecture after ?
-
One of my subjects isn't showing up on the timetable. Fantastic.
-
IT IS SO SLOW. I CAN'T EVEN OPEN THE PAGE.

I told you this would happen. It'll be better by about 12 when everyone has given up :)
-

Yeah, fair enough. I changed it. Don't think I can do much about the 9am maths on Monday, but now I have an hour break on Monday for Lunch which is certainly better.

OK ITS LOADING A BIT
but im still not hopeful
-
WHY DID YOU LOAD ONLY TO TELL ME REGISTRATION IS CLOSED.
Oh wait, these are my sem 2 subjects. No wonder registration is closed/there's only 3 subs.
-
Biol down. 3 Subjects to go.
This is gonna take a while..
-
Application error for me
-
cannot understand that, why by default does it load up semester 2 subjects :\
also, commerce students do we need to register in to T2C classes or just rock up?
-
I think Portal is stuffed ;D Just got one subject in
-
i cant even load the portal page!!! im going back to sleep

Same here.
All i did was load up the timetable page early, and it works fine. Only issue is that i have to wait ~3-4 minutes every time i click on a new subject or save, but other than that, no issues :)
-
urghhhh chem is only letting me book lectures in "streams' ....gay.
Only one out of the three lectures in the stream I can actually go to...
Will the others be released later in non-stream form? If not, I'm screwed :S
P.s.
Go to that page where you enrolled everyone...(one with the column of green ticks)...click on the blue tick at the bottom and then dot point #5 will have a hyperlink to your timetable. I did it through there and the timetable is working for me...
-
why arnt some of the sessions in the handbook showing up?
-
Mine takes ages to load, but i'm making progress :)
So far, i've registered all my chem classes.
Moving onto psych now.
-
Just got booted out :(
-
Yea these streams have screwed me.... oh well ive done chem... maths is processing now. Stream 1 for chem anyone?
-
"The Portal is currently unavailable. During this time, you can access almost everything you need using the links on this page. If you need to complete a task that is not available through these links, please contact your Student Centre or Graduate School"
Darn... ill try later i guess.. :tickedoff:
EDIT : Ooops.. found the link :P
-

I don't think so, but you can always talk to the student centre and get them to move you around

Just select a stream and go to any lecture. No one checks :P
-
WTFFFFFF. Why do they put them in streams!
Urgh that is so bloody annoying. If it wasn't for the streams I'd be done!
I really don't wanna deal with the student centre.... arghhh. I'll call them tomorrow then.

Hmmmm are you sure? But my other classes clash with the streams so it won't let me do the streams either unless I change the others around..
So annoying. WHYYYYY STREAMSSS WHYYYYY!?!
So I should call the Eastern Student Centre and they'll be able to un-stream it...
-
So many classes are different from what the timetable said on that SIS site. My timetable that I made is completely different now.
-
Still can't get on. :(
What are streams?
-
Mine takes ages to load, but i'm making progress :)
So far, i've registered all my chem classes.
Moving onto psych now.
SAME HERE! :) i just chat with friends on facebook in the loading times
just clicked the wrong stream in QM1 now sadly added 2 extra loading times that wouldnt be required, damn my foolishness
-
When people get to the timetable, does Sem 2 come up instead of Sem 1?
Every time I change it and press refresh, I just get an error. :S
-
All done in 34 minutes! ;D
-
Can anyone see the physics lectures second repeats?
-
once you press save you can still change it right??
-
Yeah you can if you want.
Still can't get on. :(
What are streams?
Lecture sequences (ie lecture 1 9am, lecture 2 12pm)
And dw, I'm locked out as well
-
Will third stream of the chemistry Lectures be released later on?
-
Still can't get on. :(
What are streams?
Urghhhh. Streams = THE WORST.
They group the lectures so you can't pick them individually (for chem + calc anyway).
I can't even finish my timetable cos the only chem stream clashes with the calc stream...so bloody annoying.
If it wasn't for streams I'd be done by now!

Fuck this stream bullshit.

Will the timetable let you get ahead with clashes?

Streams are actually a good idea. If you jump between lectures and you get out of sync with who is teaching what at a differing speeds it's a pain to work it out.

Don't you just love the Melbourne Model?

@ Russ. Can you see any issues with this? Cheers.
-
im so sorry for the massive pic i didnt realise it would be that big :( :(
-
which 2 days are the best to have off??
-
Just logged in to the portal, took about a minute to make my timetable perfect :D
It even gave me the tute I wanted without complaining.
I am seriously pissed about having to go to The Spot though, that's infuriating.

@ Russ. Can you see any issues with this? Cheers.
Pracs on Friday afternoon invariably suck and the chem tutorial on Thursday afternoon is going to be skipped a lot because of that 4.5 hour break. Move it anywhere else if you can
-
Has anyone managed to access the 2nd repeat for physics lectures? it wont appear.
-
What's wrong with The Spot? ;D
-
Damn this is annoying, i have huge gaps on tuesday and thursday due to fucking 2x 3 hour pracs :/
-
It's not on the main campus, so getting there/back between lectures sucks. Only saving grace is that the medical building is pretty close to it
-
Hey what sort of time are the bbqs on wednesdays? because I have a tute from 12-1 on wednesday.
-
looks like commerce students cant avoid tuesdays? due to the stream thing with intro microeconomics
-
Looks like I'm gonna have to skip lecture 2 for calc all the time :S :S
And I can't go to another lecture 2 for calc cos it clashes with biol and chem.....
Is it really bad to skip one of your three lectures? Or will lecture recordings suffice?
Either that, or I can go in on tuesday for my biol prac 2-5. Which is annoying cos I want one day off (3 hours total travel time each day for uni so I kinda need one day off )
EDIT: Didn't realise I could switch my biol prac with chem one... so I've changed those around so I've got more variety on thursday..Otherwise I think that my timetable is finally complete!
Also switched bio tute to wednesday after chem lecture, don't know why I didn't do that earlier...WTF was I thinking 10-3:15 with no break when I could easily switch it!
-
Also, what exactly does "Swappable Class" mean? Does that mean you can (regardless of doing it anyway) go to any class?
-
Russ - We're doing 2 of the same subjects! HOW WEIRD IS THAT.

Either that, or I can go in on tuesday for my biol prac 2-5. Which is annoying cos I want one day off (3 hours total travel time each day for uni so I kinda need one day off )
I am exactly the same on Wednesdays.
The Chem and Bio Lectures clash with the calc ones. :(
-
Pracs on Friday afternoon invariably suck and the chem tutorial on Thursday afternoon is going to be skipped a lot because of that 4.5 hour break. Move it anywhere else if you can
Awesome. Thanks.
I live right near the uni, so the 4.5 hour break shouldn't be a problem :)
-
Also, what exactly does "Swappable Class" mean? Does that mean you can (regardless of doing it anyway) go to any class?
No it means theres another timeslot for the class and you can change it
-
Hey what sort of time are the bbqs on wednesdays? because I have a tute from 12-1 on wednesday.
You get to skip 2 of your tutes with no consequences I guess. But you can always turn up after the tute (john medley? that's right next to south lawn)
Russ - We're doing 2 of the same subjects! HOW WEIRD IS THAT.
Same major (micro)? Come find me in lectures we can VN party ;)
Is it really bad to skip one of your three lectures? Or will lecture recordings suffice?
Normally it doesn't really matter, but email the coordinator and ask if the maths lecture is recorded because not all of them are. That said, maths is one of the easier subjects to learn from a textbook/tutes
-
Everyone that has an iphone should get the app called "Classes".
Best timetable app ever!
-
I didn't end up going to any lectures for macroeconomics, and in the second half of the semester I didn't even listen to them online and I got 93% on the exam.

Looks like I'm gonna have to skip lecture 2 for calc all the time :S :S

Upload your timetable too stonecold, I wanna see if we have any classes together :P haha

Meh, this is the best I think I can do.
Need to go to 9am Calc Lecture on Mondays, and Calc will need to be skipped on Thursdays.
-
Cannot produce a clash free timetable - Study Package MAST10008 Ver 1 Activity 2 is producing a clash. Contact Student Administration.
is this because of the streams??
at the rate the pages are loading, its probably quicker for me to ride my bike to the uni and get it done teher
-
Russ, how does this look?
The clash between CHEM and IDF is unavoidable.

I could move it to 2.15-3.15 but then it's 4 hours without break.Hmmm
-
This is what I've got...
Might try and free up an hour on Monday to have a break. I'll see what I can do!
any comments?
-
Russ, how does this look?
Apart from the fact that you finish at 6.15 (HAHAHA PSYCH), there's not much wrong with it. It's hard to deliberately make a "bad" timetable, most of them are just because the university timeslots screw you over
I could move it to 2.15-3.15 but then it's 4 hours without break.Hmmm
I've done 4 hours straight, it's not that bad if you snack in lectures.
-
Aw yeah, finally made it.
Things that suck:
-friday lab
-chem streams (I'll just go to the afternoon lecture on Monday)
-the psych tute I wanted was missing
Things that don't suck:
-everything else
-
This is so difficult to do! I seem to only be able to use the 'generate clash-free timetable' as if I try myself it all clashes, how is everyone doing it so well :s
-
Generate the clash free timetable and then click on individual subjects to move them around after hitting the "change" button. If you have clashes, there's nothing you can do though
-
This is the worst
-
Generate the clash free timetable and then click on individual subjects to move them around after hitting the "change" button. If you have clashes, there's nothing you can do though
so should we go to the student centre if theres a clash? there wouldnt be any clashes if it werent for the streams.
-
This is the worst
Isn't there anywhere else you can stick your bio tute? Then you can use that space for the lecture instead of the 8am lecture. Same with your chem tute on tuesdays. But yeah, that's pretty shocking. Ouch.
-
that 8am tutorial is literally going to be empty, the uni might cancel it at some point. You will probably be able to move out of it at some point, when more spots free up. And if the bio lecture has a repeat, just go to that (everyone else will)
so should we go to the student centre if theres a clash? there wouldnt be any clashes if it werent for the streams.
Just go to the alternate lecture and deal with any problems that come up as a result of different stream speeds. Nothing the student centre can do
-
Generate the clash free timetable and then click on individual subjects to move them around after hitting the "change" button. If you have clashes, there's nothing you can do though
Every time I press generate clash free timetable, it does nothing. :/

this sucks im a commerce student and can only seem to generate a timetable where i get mondays off :(
-
Ok I switched it around for bio but for chem I cant, Im doomed to be at uni at 8am every Tuesday
-
Arts students (or anyone else who can answer) - are the criminology and democracy (IDF) lectures recorded? Because going in for one hour on both Monday and Tuesday is not very appealing.

Crim is recorded, unsure about Dem.

Thanks to both you! That's an extra two days off :P

can someone tell me if Quantitative Methods 1 lectures are available online?

i really like your fixed lunch break! good thinking :D
-
the most common subjects like chem1 are recorded right?
-
Okay, all done. ('unofficial modifications' were required though :P)
-Attend Calc 1 Lecture 1 at 9am Monday instead of 11am
-Attend Chem for Biomed Lecture 2 at 1pm Wednesday instead of 11am
Not bad. Probably will never go on Thursdays though. Anyone know if linguistics lectures are recorded?
-
For everyone asking, most lectures are recorded, yes.
-
Most of Science is recorded, some of Arts is recorded.
-
Does anyone know how likely it is I get into one of my classes? I don't want to change it since my timetable is so much better with how I made it now.. I am waitlisted, before i was no.8 of 13 and now I'm no.9 of 11 :s
-
Swapped my chem tute with my psych tute. Didn't realise that psych tutes (not mbb1) were fortnightly. Hurrah.
-
I've never been waitlisted but unless the class is one of the ones that everybody wants because of compulsory subjects you'll probably get in once they open up the extra spots
That is the whole point of a waitlist after all
-
Should I go 8 hours straight on Monday or Wednesday to potentially have Tuesdays and Thursdays off?
(I only have a 1 hour lecture on these days)
Or I can go 9-5 on Friday with 1 hour break and only have the 1 hour lecture on Tuesday/Thursday.
What to do??
-
Should I stick with this or change it?:
(http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/15/unitimetable.jpg)
-
stick with it, you can not go on a Tuesday because Psych is recorded anyway.
-
Even trying the clash free option, I still have clashes..
So bad.
-
Awesome, thanks!

oh ok. well i just redid my whole timetable to get rid of waitlisting just in case.. I'm fairly pleased now.

Any way I can change a subject now? :'( I just had a change of mind....
-

Dammit, the more I look at my timetable the more I want to change it. Goodbye Friday lab, you're now on Monday. /indecisive
Any way I can change a subject now? :'( I just had a change of mind....
Yeah, just go to admin where it has ~withdraw/drop a subject~ and then enrol into a new one through your study planner.
-
I couldn't resist. Yay to Tuesdays and Thursdays off!
And Monday is officially the shittest day of the week.
-
Lol five straight hours of biology.

I am actually rather happy with it all now. :)
-
Chemistry pracs are also 6/semester but they're not scheduled fortnightly. You might have one a week for a month then nothing for another month
edit, actually why the fuck do you voluntarily have an 8am tute?!

It is either that or do it on Tuesday, and that means ACTUALLY going to uni. :P
OR worse still, stay back and do a Chem Prac on Friday Arvos.
I live near the city, and am used to early-ish starts.
Still however, point taken. :)
Just have to think of the sleep ins on Tuesday and Thursday haha.

https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/view/2011/BIOL10004 says 30hrs of prac per semester... is the handbook wrong?
-
They may have changed it but that includes prelabs and computer workshops which are done from home and are easy
-
Should i be happy with this?
(http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/4155/timetablei.png)
Given that pracs won't be running every week, and i can skip the last lecture on friday (for whatever reason), is this decent?
-
Nah, Russ is right. Check your weekly timetable and it alternates between Bio Prac and no Bio Prac each week.
Edit: Chem Pracs appear to be weekly however. meh.
-
Also, does anybody know if "generate clash free timetable" automatically overwrites any previous one? or does it give you a sample before confirming?

Overwrites. Just use the individual subject change option to tweak whatever you have.
On another note, is it true that there are unreleased classes yet? When in Feb are they released?
There are no unreleased classes. The times there are the only ones that will be available. But later in the month they will free up more spaces in each tute class, to give people who weren't around today to enroll
-
TUESDAY WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY NOONS OFF :P
FUCK YEAH TO BBQ'S N BEER.
Also, shame about early Friday lecture, I might not go home after clubs :P... just go straight to lecture lol!
(http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/1740/timetableinclbio.jpg)
If you can be arsed getting up in the morning for those 9am classes, that's a ripper timetable. You really won't be...wait...are you only doing 3 subjects? lol
And mankay...that's horrible, sorry. :P Fortunately your Wednesday arvo classes are lectures, so they aren't attendance-based. You'd be shitting yourself when you realised how many events there are on Wednesdays if you'd scheduled a prac or something then. Same with Thursday, to a lesser extent. I have a prac Thursday arvo too, but I can't really help it. :(
-
Ah okay, that's disappointing on both accounts. Thanks

Yeah, i had a feeling that might be the case :/ Not sure if i can do any better though. 3 of the subjects have annoying lectures times that either clash, go late, or are like they are now, so :(
Wondering if it would be worth starting again, or using the 'generate clash-free timetable' thing until it spits out something good...?
-
Unless your lectures have alternate streams (which I don't think they do) the only variation is in your tutes/pracs, which aren't the problem for you
-
Three words: Fuck lecture streaming :(
Does anyone know where i can find information regarding which subjects have their lectures recorded and which don't?
-
Email the coordinator or ask here, but as has been said, most are recorded.

I just got kicked out of a lecture.. I had my timetable all done and doublechecked at 12 and now its telling me i have unregistered classes... and now THOSE classes are unavailable FAIL MELB UNI

Well I thought choosing a second psych subject & low contact hours breadth would give me more time, but I still have 21 contact/wk when pracs are on (which is almost every week) grrr.

Monday is crap, but unavoidable with that lecture. I can move Wednesday afternoon prac to Friday afternoon and avoid the two hour gap, which I'm seriously considering.
Wednesday lectures are gonna be fun, having to travel from Asia Centre > Law > Medical Building after one another, but oh well.

You have to pay for a PRS (Personal Response System) clicker to be loaned to you for a semester and during lectures the lecturer will put questions up on the slides and the audience submit answers. You get marked on submitting an answer, not on whether it's correct (in biomed they weren't marked and half the responses were people sending in random stuff)

For 'Philosophy - The Big Questions' the tutes aren't showing up...
-
As in none of them are there or only some are there?
If the former then they're probably not in the system yet, if the latter then maybe I'm wrong.

None. It says "All classes registered" for my other ones, and "One class unavailable" for Philosophy.

If a particular stream of classes aren't showing up, then just check back in a week. If there are a bunch of "Tutorial 1"s showing up, then it's highly unlikely that there will be any more.

This has been discussed to death. I've answered the question myself three times. I've answered it in the post above yours. Surely you have enough information about it now.

I am exactly the same on Wednesdays.
The Chem and Bio Lectures clash with the calc ones. :(
Calc 1 - For the both of you, if you choose to that, just make sure you're on top of the stuff you've missed. ;) Believe me, it would be an extremely wise decision, considering it's "spesh in 12 weeks" (except without kinematics).
And cross your fingers for Iain. :)

That's quite good, mandy. The only suggestions I would make are to try and move one or both of the maths pracs to Friday.

^That's so similar to mine! There are only one chem tute difference (apart from breadth)!
-

If that's possible. Those maths pracs look like there have to be back-to-back, like the Linear Algebra ones and if you look in my timetable, the Probability tutes have to be back-to-back.
-
Done with my timetable, now i'm just fine tuning it. So what do you think of it?

3 Lectures on Tuesday is the only thing i'm unsure of.

Will having two three-hour practicals in a day be alright?
^That's so similar to mine! There are only one chem tute difference (apart from breadth)!
Haha, best timetables out! :)
-
davyp3, that's really good.
1. You get to sleep in.
2. You get Mondays off.
3. You not at uni for an excessive amount of time.
3 lectures in one day is ok. Even though your accounting one goes for two hours straight, my mate told me that the lecturer breaks for ~10 minutes after the hour. And plus, you've got like ~2 hours break after your economics lecture.
In conclusion, awesome timetable and you'll be fine.

Streams are stopping me from getting a day off. I have one lecture which I want to move down to a later lecture to free up space and leave me a day off but if I choose the later stream then the rest of my timetable is screwed. What should I do?

Weigh up what you want.

Yeah, that's the biggest problem. I had that difficulty with Business Finance where the tutes weren't published. I just leave them last and make sure all my lectures don't clash with other stuff then dealt with the Bus. Finance tute last.

In that case, I'll feel that is it imperative that I inform you this:
In Calculus 1, there are different lecturers for different streams. As a result, each lecture will be at different pages of the lecture notes, albeit they will be at similar places. Some lectures might be a bit behind and some might be a bit ahead. As such, you are strongly encouraged to attend the one stream (or go to multiple ones but ensuring that you go to your main ones). Additionally, to make matter more complicated, Calculus 1 does not do this:
1. Have lectopia, where lectures are recorded.
2. Have full and completed lecture slides available for download.
-
I'm trying to swap my chemistry practical with my breadth tutorial just to spread out the 7 hour day. This also give me an hour and half off around lunchtime on Wednesday :D Tuesday off, Friday afternoon off and only 2 9am starts.
Streams have somewhat limited me in that they all fall one after the other (Monday, Wednesday, Friday)!

That's what I'm worried about. I'm trying to swap out the chem practical but can't as all of the tute's for my breadth subject are unavailable. Doing this would give me about 25 minutes between the 4 lectures (which I have to do due to streams) which I think would be enough to keep me sane.
Otherwise I might just have to put my bio practical on tuesday and go to uni on a tuesday once a fortnight.
Also, I'm trying to keep a day off as I live in warrandyte which is in melbournes outer north east and it will take me over an hour to get to uni.

Whatlol:
1. Your timetable gives you enough time to sleep in (a little hopefully).
2. From Monday - Thursday, you have a consistent lunch break - a positive.
3. You're pracs are at the end of the day - could a good thing since once you're done and tired, you can go home.
4. On the topic of pracs, if you don't have a prac that week, you'll only have one class on Tuesday and/or a shorter day on Thursday.
In conclusion:
Your timetable is compact, gives your regular breaks in between especially before the 3 hour pracs. The finishing times are at around 4:15 or 5 if you have a prac. Good choice overall but with the ECON10004 tute, is there a 1:00 pm one? Even if there is, the way you've put it is ok.
-
At the very least I have 1-2 off everyday

Is there any way you can move the Chem tute to Fridays at 2:15 pm?

Done with my timetable, now i'm just fine tuning it. So what do you think of it?

3 Lectures on Tuesday is the only thing i'm unsure of.
Tute during More Beer ftl.

I think there may be an eco tute at 1 or maybe even 2, ill have a look. Initially i aimed to avoid having any 2 hour breaks but for some reason the second set of physics lecture repeats isnt available to select so im faced with my current timetable, which i suppose as you said its not too bad.
Thanks

Nah, only other time other later than 8 is 12-1 and thats the only lecture for LLI :(

I've had 3 hour breaks in first semester and sometimes it was good and sometimes it was bad. the bad was that my friends were in class, I was stuck procrastinating and wasting time. But in the end, it is a good timetable. If you had my first semester timetable, you would scream. The subjects just didn't go together and had 1-2 hour gaps everywhere.

Damn. That's really yucky having it at 8 o'clock. But if it makes you feel better, some biomed students have a lecture at 8 o'clock and I remember in my first semester there was a bio lecture at 8am for science students.
-
8am starts are the best! (not sarcasm)

Nah, 9am ones if you're from the east.
EDIT: Thinking that 8 am starts are the best are not considered if you live within ~5 km from UoM. :P

8am starts and learning about plants always ruin my day :( Aaaah bad memories ;D

Man wish I could get Monday off, but Physiology has marked lecture attendance or something.
You have to pay for a PRS (Personal Response System) clicker to be loaned to you for a semester and during lectures the lecturer will put questions up on the slides and the audience submit answers. You get marked on submitting an answer, not on whether it's correct (in biomed they weren't marked and half the responses were people sending in random stuff)
Cheers Russ. Guess I'll haul my ass into Uni for an hour then.
Does anyone know if it was necessary to go the Biochem and Molecular Biology lectures last year? Like were all the lectures recorded on lectopia?
-
Bad idea to cram everything into 2 days??
-
LFTM:
1. If you like 3 days "off uni", then that's cool.
2. If you like 3 hours or 4 hours straight without a break, then you're good.
3. You do have reasonable lunch breaks in between so I'll hail you for that.
But the question is, what about your endurance for 12 weeks? And you'll have to stay until 6:15 pm for the two days. Imagine in Winter when it's dark at that time.
-
you make a good point there, i hate walking home in the dark.
-
you make a good point there, i hate walking home in the dark.
Yeah, I don't mind if I'm in a group, but alone on the other hand... We live in the 21st century unfortunately.
Also, finishing at 6:15 pm doesn't mean you'll get home at that time either.* You need to factor in transport time as well.
*Unless if you live at college or within a reasonable walking distance from uni.

Aww shit, how do you know if they mark attendance at your lecture.
I am so stuck with no idea what to do.
I don't think I can avoid clashes with Calc 1.
Someone please give help. At the moment, I have to go to lectures I am not enrolled in.
A day of would be nice, but I am happy to go on Tuesday and Thursday if necessary.

Leave it or change?
If I change, then I am screwed, as it will mean early starts and 5pm finishes every day, and I am not sure things will even improve in terms of clashes.
So my current plan to go to Calc 1 lecture at 9am Mondays and Chem for Biomed lecture at 1pm Wednesdays is alright?
I tried to push generate clash free timetable at the start, and it just did nothing.
-
Ok. If you go to the 11 am Calc lecture, you'll miss only Monday provided you move the Chem lecture to 1 pm Wednesday. If you go to the 9 am one, you will miss Wednesday & Friday. Yeah?
But on Monday, can you move that Chem lecture anywhere else or is there just 1 stream?
-
heres mine for now
We share the same lecture and tutorial for QM1

The only way around it is to move the Chem prac to a thursday, and the Bio prac to a Tuesday.
But the Bio prac is full. It says to wait until Feb 21 for more spots.
The problem is, the chem and bio and linguistics lectures are fixed, so it makes everything impossible.

I have a subject clash, both are lectures and only comes in that particular time... what am I suppose to do? do i have to swap subjects between semester then? (i don't really want to swap) :(
-

Yeah, I'm stuck with that problem too. Chemistry and Physics just don't seem to like each other. I'm just hoping to do physics at the repeat time which currently isn't on the timetable. Perhaps you could check the times of your elective to see if they've missed a repeat time.
-

People may move out of it before then, depends on how desirable the spot is. Just keep checking every day and see what happens.
In terms of your decision, going to the lectures outside the stream is possible but it's up to you whether the downsides outweigh the positives.
And to whoever asked, biochem lectures are recorded yes (or they were for my year)

Nope, lectures aren't compulsory and the LMS site is awesome enough to get through without lectures and tutes (not saying you shouldn't go, you'll lag behind if you miss lectures and getting the H1 won't be that easy after all)
How are everyone's contact hours looking like? 26 here :'(
You probably won't have pracs every week so there won't be 26 hours every week ;D

what does 'stream class' mean?? :)

Pretty happy with it

Whee, I have a compulsory (for my major) two-hour research methods/stats lecture 8AM EVERY MONDAY. Followed by a prac for the same subject at 10am. Best ever.

Apart from the dreadful 8am starts :o... I think it's alright

Ohh, dammit there's only two chem lecture streams. I thought there was three :| Now I actually have a clash unless I change my timetable but I'm so happy with it. Rats.

21 as well. If I'm lucky and don't have pracs then 13. :D
-
It's rare to get no pracs or all pracs, you'll probably end up with 16 or so a week.
I have 13 heh

do they tell you the plan for the semester for pracs? or just give a weeks notice if you have one something?

They'll tell you at the start of semester, you'll get a group number and be able to check what dates your group is scheduled for

Good times.

I can only change if that Bio prac frees up, and even then I am not keen. It will put me at Uni from 9 til 4 or 5 everyday.
I am the type of person who benefits immensely from study days. I had 2 every week last year.
Even if I go to linguistics lectures, I will still have like half days to get work done.
I have always been a 'cram as many contact hours into as little time as possible' type of person lol.
I just don't want to spend ages there and eat craploads and never do work. I hardly ever did any work at school. :/
-
The more I lurk this thread the more convinced of my screwed-ness I become.
-
Pretty happy with it
Mine is really similar to yours. My monday is the same with physics instead of informatics. We have two esd lectures together and the same calc stream. Day off thursday as well.
-
I hardly ever did any work at school. :/
It shows in your really poor Atar score :P
My reasoning is that I simply cannot be bother traveling over an hour each way to get to uni, If I can minimize the trips I'm happy!
I also know that if I had large breaks in the day I'd sign up to the gym and spend my breaks there.

The positive is you get to keep your timetable free. The downside is your lectures will be out of sync and you'll have to fill in the gaps yourself, which may or may not be difficult. I don't think it's a big deal but it might be a bit of a pain.

Hey guys.
So atm i can't enrol in most of my subjects as i obviously left it too late for the first release of places, but I have planned out what my best timetable would look like. I know the rest of the places are released on the 21st, but has anyone got any idea as to what time that day so I can ensure I get the timetable i want?
Cheers
-
Enrolling in subjects has nothing to do with the timetable, you can do that now (you can also register in classes now, if they're not full)
-
I think foley does mean register in them, and I have the same problem because of my irregular offer, so don't freak out :3
It is most likely 10am that day, as with the last round. But I would check at 9am to be safe. If it's not 12am it won't be before 9am :)

Meeee tooooooooo. :(
-
They just swapped my accounting tutorial on friday to the Spot, I've got a chem lecture in the garillo centre beforehand... I've heard bad things about the spot's location.damn. guessing it's on the other side of the uni near the law building or something.. :(
-
Yeah it's a bit of a bother. Dw I had to go from the Botany building to the Spot in 5 minutes last semester.
But since it's a tutorial, it doesn't matter as much as a lecture. Usually your tutor won't mind if you're 5 minutes late.
-
Just leave the chem lecture 5 minutes early, the final 5 minutes of a lecture are never that useful.
-
While I was making my timetable "perfect", I didn't pay attention to where any of my lectures/tutes/pracs are, so now that I've checked, it looks like I'm going to be running around everywhere looking for the places. I don't actually know how long it takes to get from each of these places to the next, so can you guys check to see which would require me to leave early to get somewhere else on time pleaseee? :)
Thank you!

Most of those are quite close, the copland to ERC is the only one that might delay you
-
Yeah, they're all close. You have 10 minutes to get from class to class, anyway, which is enough time to walk from Physics to The Spot if you don't dawdle.
-
Thanks guys, can I just ask what/where "The Spot" is?

Will either of these be a problem (have 3 lectures in a row on two occasions)

- Redmond Barry Rivett --> Eco&Comm Copland --> David Caro

Redmond Barry is at most a 5 minute walk from the Copeland. Sunderland is a bit further, but still less than the 10 minutes you'll have. Nowhere is really a problem to get from anywhere else.
In other news, I have my host group! (One person is enrolled in 4 bachelor degrees - good one, EPSC.)
-
Yeah for everyone wondering whether it's too far, it's not. The only time when the distance will make you late is if you've got a class off campus (ie Spot/ICT/bouverie st).
I have one of those in mine as well, environments, biomed, commerce lol. There are only 2 people in my group with pronounceable (western) surnames as well!
-
Those students aren't actually enrolled in multiple degrees. It's just a little problem with the database ;D Students with 2 or more degrees are usually those who have transferred and so both degrees show up. They probably won't attend the host group anyway, since they aren't exactly new students

You'll just be walking back and forth. From Rivett to the other side of uni and then back again to the physics building.

Yeah that's true. Asia Centre to Law is a bit of a pain. I miss last year where I didn't have to move between Bio and Chem :(

There really isn't much of a reason for them to have chem then chem. But it gives me a clash >:

Argh I'm in trouble again! When I went to re-enrol in my subjects after withdrawing from them I couldn't because of a website error. After finally getting it fixed by Student IT all the classes are full and I can't get a full timetable :(

Wait till the 21st of Feb and register into classes when more spots are released around ~10am.

It has always been there for me! Maybe we should email the co-ordinator?
-
What are the odds of getting into a tute, now that I've withdrawn from my original one, but now want to get into one that is full? It says the waiting list is 10 people long, but it says that for all tutes, so I'm guessing that's 10 people across the entire subject? I'm on the waiting list atm, just hoping I don't have to suck up to anyone at the student centre, haha

Ive just had a last minute change of heart and i wanna do Biology, but the it says "registrations closed" for tute1 and prac 1...?

Enrol and talk to the student centre if you can't pick certain classes. They'll get you into them.

Copland is quite nice. Anything in Redmond Barry sucks, Carillo-Gantner has those uncomfortable chairs. The Michell theatre is kinda comfy. Everything in med isn't so great because it's old.
And the Prince Philip Theatre in the Architecture building has nice chairs but awful desks. But if you're after style and not convenience, try the Basement Theatre in the Spot.
-
Who cares whether a theatre looks nice...seriously?
The Prince Philip is shit, though: no mobile reception.

Same with Copland - no mobile reception for me.
-
Carrillo-Gantner the same? It's the only underground lecture theatre I have. Been in there once or twice, but never paid attention to my phone.

I can get a little bit from Copland. Probably not perfect, but if I've sent and received texts from there and I'm on 3, which is notorious for bad reception.
-

That's a weird one. If you sit right in the centre of the theatre, you get perfect reception on an Optus network. Anywhere else and it's bad, but not as bad as Copland.

Carrillo, I never have reception.
Lucky I have my laptop to tweet.

I get reception in the Copland and Carillo Gantner, you people need new phones
-
No wireless in Charles Pearson? What a disappointment :(
-

It's just because of 3.
I don't have reception in like, Melbourne Central 60% of the time.

I'm on 3 - Copland's terrible (can still send texts), but reception in Carillo Gantner's surprisingly decent on my phone. The theatre in the Spot is the worst though, no reception whatsoever.

Hopefully...if I get those spots I wrote in

Oh yeah you're right I remember.
Anyway, I have a blackberry so I kind of need my BIS available and barely any of the lower down theatres will let it.
Which means I can't whatsapp.
Which means I don't really use my phone in the lectures.

Why would you even go to lectures if you're just going to sleep or use a laptop. Might as well just skip them completely.

Because you can't help it. You rock up at a 9 am lecture and the lecture is so damn boring that no reception in the theatre leaves you no other alternative to keep you awake.

I find that Arts lectures move too slow for me.
I get bored if I'm not on the internet at the same time.
I enjoy multitasking, I believe it builds upon life skills.

Hey are the biomed exams staggered throughout the 6th of June to the 24th of June as per the Uni calendar?
My friend just said that he'll pay for me to go to Cambodia with him from the 4th until the 23rd. Worst timing ever :(
Edit: Also, if I want to see if I can do Calc 1 instead of Calc 2 (having done spesh and getting >27) should I email Mark Hargreaves?

I can tell you that 99% of the times that Calculus 1 and Calculus 2 exams will be in the first week. So if you're doing either of those subjects in first semester, just plan carefully.
-
They hate people who try to cop out and do a bludge subject instead of something you're supposed to be learning. Not what uni's about and all.
So the answer will most likely be no.
-
No doubt. But Calc 1 definitely wouldn't be a bludge subject for me. I suck at maths (got lucky in the spesh exam).
-

But if you're not here for the exam, and can't sit the supplementary exam, then all that hard work will be wasted, along with ~$500 for the subject if you're in a CSP.

Yeah, I won't go overseas. Sux bigtime. Guess I'll have to get used to missing out on stuff while doing biomed..
-
I don't think you can really complain about not being able to go overseas during the exam period...
From memory, bio was first week along with calculus and then chem was 3rd week
It does depend on what you got, if it was close to the cutoff then there might be some leeway and you should email Deb King. That said, if you got 35+ then don't bother because there's no way they'll let you.

wtf..i cant pick my subjects says i have a sanction preventing me from making any administrative actiopns.:| it says i have to attend course information session..FFS i did that yesterday???..Anyway can somone tell me how do i pick my first year subjects theres soo many subdivison where i can pick subjetcs/??

Apparently the uni decided to put the sanctions back on so students who went to AAD2/ISB to get the sanctions removed, got them again :o You need to go to the Student Centre to get it removed again and I suggest getting there at 9am (or as soon as it opens on Monday)

They're not open on weekends (at least the EPSC isn't) and welcome to uni bureaucracy, where going in person gives you less headaches*.
*Usually it does, depending on the nature of the problem. But sometimes, it just gives you even more headaches.

Yeh you can. It will be redirected to 13MELB so you still have to wait
-
So i have to wait till monday to call or go to the uni and get this sorted. >:(
-
When do new spots open on Monday...10am?
My timetable is completely screwed, and right now there is a clash which I can't get rid of, even if I go to different lectures that I am not enrolled in.
Initially they had 2 lecture streams for chem for biomed on the uni timetable, but now it is gone. :(
I can fix it, but I need to wait for the new spots to open up.
-
So i have to wait till monday to call or go to the uni and get this sorted. >:(
Best to go in but be warned, because those appointment slips they were handing out yesterday are for Monday and Tuesday beginning 9am.
So there might be straight bookings of people and no chance to talk.
Although I highly doubt everyone or even most people will turn up to their appointments.
This one girl in front of me was like 'an advice appointment, what's that!'. The woman was like 'it's to talk about subject selection if you have a valid reason or a particularly tricky case. it isn't necessary and you shouldn't do it if you don't need to.'
She turned to her friends and went '...do I need one? I'll just take it anyway in case'.
She took the last appointment.
The woman rolled her eyes and so did I.
-
LOL! haha i have one of those apppointments on the 23rd....but i dont want to wait that long to enrol in subjects :|
-
Understandable! I have one at 9am Tuesday, during which I plan to storm in with my credit forms which I faxed through ages ago and tell them I have 'had it up to here', tell them 'I know they can just approve them right here because I have been at this university all along' and tell them 'if they don't do something about it I'm going to demand that the money I have to spend on full priced metcards will be requested from their ridiculously slow admin team'.
But I left my slip at my friend's work when I went to get lunch with her, I'm just hoping she did bring it home so I can go and pick it up or if they will alternatively accept me without it?
-
credit forms??
-
Advanced standing forms. They were meant to sort them out before Monday so I could take one off and enroll in Physics but then they didn't and now they're bound to approve them when I'm already enrolled in Physics and choose which one they'd like to take off without my input.

I was under the impression that if you've done subjects at UoM, all you need to do is tell the Sci faculty which major you're hoping for, and they would automatically process it without forms D:
-
Nah, you have to fill in a form. It usually takes about 4-5 working days to process.
-
Should i be happy with this?
(http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/4155/timetablei.png)
Given that pracs won't be running every week, and i can skip the last lecture on friday (for whatever reason), is this decent?
So i changed one of my subjects (not on a whim) and now my timetable seems so much better! Minus the early start (which isnt so bad, and i might be able to fix it when the new slots come in), it looks so much better in comparison :D
[IMG]http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/7341/timetable2.jpg[/img]
Thoughts?
-
I agree your new timetable is better Mankaey, are you going to change that ANCW10001 lecture because of the prac overlap or just ditch the lecture when you have a prac?
-
Sweet. Can't change it as they are there is only one lecture slot for ANCW, so yeah. In order to make them not-overlap, i'd have to use up one of my free arvos (not likely!)
-
Your old timetable was way better. Wednesday and Thursday afternoons are when all the fun stuff happens and you put unmissable classes then. lol

Fun stuff like? (I might have read it from you before, I can't remember)
I can either have tuesday off and wed and thurs arvo workshop and prac...or move them to tuesday and have wed and thurs off from 1 PM.
O.k that does sound good now that I think about it...but a day off...

That's pretty much the first thing I try to get off when I make my timetables. :P
All good barbeques (besides the union ones) and general shenanigans occur from 1pm on Wednesdays and Thursday. ;)
-
Fair enough, looks like I won't have a day off...which isn't too bad seeing as I would've stayed home and wasted time.
Would you happen to know what time they add more places for the classes on monday?
-
arghh, it looks like i can't get thurs arvo off, and weds may be impossible too.. shall play around when the spots open up
Would you happen to know what time they add more places for the classes on monday?
it appears that this is tomorrow (21st)
-
Hey, has anyone here done two labs in one day before? I have the option of doing it, and it'll make my timetable a lot better.
I'll have 2 hours between them, but I just don't know how difficult/draining they are.
-

Yeh well i couldn't do anytthing about it last time :P
I might move the chem prac to tuesday, which would free up thursday arvos..
-
ok i switched my bio prac from weds arvo to friday afternoon which is seems annoying (2hr break before it).. it better be worth it to have weds arvo off!
-
ok i switched my bio prac from weds arvo to friday afternoon which is seems annoying (2hr break before it).. it better be worth it to have weds arvo off!
That is death lol. I was gonna do the same thing but it is physically impossible for me to have any pracs on M/W/F in the arvo thanks to Calculus, so now I gotta move them to Tuesday and Thursday. I hope the places don't run out too early. :/

I'm skipping calc 1 lecture 2 every time there's a chem prac :S I NEED to have tuesday off, so I made the sacrifice haha. You'll only be missing half of the lectures + you can copy the annotations on the notes off somebody else (that's what I'm doing :P).
-
I'm not gonna sleep til I get my timetable done...
if it means sleep after 10 AM tomorrow so be it.
-
Well I guess it didn't open at midnight.
-
It is opening at 10am.
https://sis.unimelb.edu.au/enrolmentnextsteps.html

If anyone steals the times I want, I will hunt you down and kill you. (seriously) :P

Here's my timetable at the moment:
(http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/9615/biomedj.jpg)
I have the option of moving my chem prac from friday to start on tuesday at 9am (will then have two hours between pracs) and to move my chem tute from thursday avo to friday at 12pm.
Does this sound like a good idea? It means I'll have 3 days of 4 hours in a row, and two pracs on one day. I'm a bit worried that it'll be too draining, but at the same time it'd be nice to have friday avo off, and to have a compact timwtable.
What would you guys do?

now I feel as though I should sleep...but there's only 8 hrs left...I won't get up on time! :p
-
10am is good! As long as it doesn't take me three hours to make my ttable like last semester, I need to go out for lunch.
-
@Massofbubbles, your timetable is looking a lot like mine, except I have both the pracs on the one day. I don't think it'll be too bad or draining, cos we'd have two hours off in between. My cousin also did the "two pracs in one day" thing and said it wasn't bad and sometimes when there isn't a prac at all, you'd only have to be at uni for half a day. Another good thing which you've mentioned is you'll have the entire Friday afternoon off for you to spend however you like! :)

That timetable is quite good. I'd definitely move the tute to Friday, though. As for the prac...well I guess it depends on whether you'd prefer to sleep in on Tuesdays or go home early on Fridays. Pracs aren't very draining (less draining than lectures, in my opinion), so I wouldn't worry about having two in one day.
-
You need to remember that pracs aren't every week.
Move your chem prac to Tuesday and your tute to Friday
-
Cool. Thanks heaps guys. I'll make the changes :)
-
Does the fact that you can't waitlist into the full classes for Biology mean that you're stuck with the available places which are current and no new ones will come out today? Because if so, my timetable is utterly and completely fucked up.
-
^I also am worried. I have a feeling they may have already given some of, if not all of the 'new spots' to people who went in and annoyed them. :/ Well at least for what I want haha.
I was gonna go for a waitlisted class in Bio, but then they can change it on you, so I didn't really want that. But yeah, if it has been waitlisted, you'd imagine all the spots are unfortunately gone.
-
It makes no sense though because they have a lecture waitlisted and that would mean 100+ people would have had to go in and request to be in the lecture if you're right. It used to say 'more places available on the 21st' but now it's just not doing it. Maybe it's a glitch that will fix itself.
I have an emergency timetable but it will mean a hell day.
-
Well, the amount of places being released today are only a third of the amount of places released last month so it'd be easier to fill them up. Make sure you get in quickly :P
And if you don't get what you want, there's still a chance to swap with other people - every year emails go around from people begging for someone else to change with them.
-
If it crashes I am screwed. :/
It is working alright now though. All I need to do is get onto the Chem page and make two changes. Then I'll be happy.
The Calc 1 2.15 stream is a lower priority haha, but still important.
-
I basically have my whole timetable to do because of my second round offer.
And Russ, I know, but it still makes no sense that Biology wouldn't be releasing more places when like 80% of the classes are full.
-
I don't understand why they waitlist bio classes, but all the other ones are normal and just say they are full.
Very strange...
-
Hey, you guys should log in now and just refresh. I did this last time and had finished my timetable before some people were even able to log in.
-
Been logged in since 8:30!

Quick question: Redmond Barry to 200 Berkeley Street within 10 minutes? Is it going to be a strain so that I should change classes or should I keep it?

Hoping people start moving out.

Is a day off in uni usefull? (this case tuesday and move workshop to wed 2-5 and prac to thurs 2-5)

All done too :)
Hey, anyone have a link to access the timetable without going through the portal?

Also I can move the tut on monday that's 3-4 to 9-10...but I thought sleeping in would be nice monday morning?

How the hell is this even slower than the first time it opened when my internet was capped?

Alice Hoy is just behind the Asia Centre. Map reference I20 on the campus map.
Cool, none of the labs I want are open. Guess I'll be unemployed for a while longer.

Everything is exactly the way I want it except for one time slot which is annoying me so much right now.

I keep trying to enroll in a prac on Wednesday or Friday and they are both alternately available, when I click 'save' it keeps on kicking me out. Of either. Every time.
Well good.
-
Keep Calc 1 Prac at 10am Monday, or change to 3.15pm Wednesday?
-
Do you think if I beg to be allowed into a tute not clashing with my Physics lecture it would work? I can't go to the repeat because I had to enroll in a prac, it was literally the only one possible.
-
Physics really does create chaos in a timetable, especially if you're doing biology and chemistry with it.

IT IS RIDICULOUS.
I need like a 9am Biol tute or an 11am Biol tute. I'll go to the 8am lecture if I have to >: I just can't move it to any available slots, they all clash with pracs I cannot move (due to physics) or physics itself.
Wait...here we go.
-
Tuesday is the day that keeps screwing me over, if only my classes were available between 11-3 but apparently nothing is.

Yeah, I just dropped my physics for Optics at semester 2, just for Optometry. Hrmm, hope you can make a decent timetable. Just this timetable stuff makes me not want to go to uni, lol.

I just waited 57 minutes to get a spot in a bio tute. I got it, now my timetable is awesome!

Also general peeps should I fix Monday? Option of 2-5 prac with a 10am lecture and 11am lecture means I don't have a 3 hour break in the middle of Monday sometimes?
-
Wednesdays are average.
I like to stay up on Sunday nights/Monday mornings to watch the F1s haha.
So the extra hour sleep in could be good.
-
so glad I got no 8 AM starts, and only two 9 AM, three 11 AM :D

It was for Biomolecules and Cells (BIOL1002) on Thursday's at 9am.

Classes start five minutes later and finish five minutes earlier than the scheduled time; eg a lecture from 12 - 1 actually goes from 12:05 - 12:55, giving 10 minutes to get to your next class, which is apparently enough time to get from one end of the uni to the other.
I love the uniformity of my timetable :)

Considering pracs are fortnightly, it means I start at 2:15 on 80% of days, which is just perfect for me :P
-
Curious111, your timetable looks like a good game of tetris! :P

Haha yeah, I was lucky that it all managed to fall into place pretty much perfectly

Is it worth going in to the ERC cause my LMS has me down for Calc 2 instead of ED&DA in first semester, or will that most likely be fixed up before class starts?
Edit: Are there any biomed students here that are enrolled in Experimental Design and Data Analysis in semester 1 on LMS?

I was just enrolled in it. But Calc 2 still shows up.
I'd leave it. It's obvious that they are still organising the system.

Yeah, I'm enrolled in Experimental Design and Data Analysis in semester 1 and it shows on LMS.
Edit: Oh, forgot to say, that was the last subject to appear on LMS for me. Before that, I didn't even have a math subject show up. It's only been there for about ...2 days or so.
-
Just checked again, and now I'm enrolled in ED&DA and Calc 2 in semester 1, so I suppose they are currently in the process of fixing it..
Edit: I actually wouldn't mind if LMS kept me down for both, that way I can easily get all the Calc 2 lecture notes etc before semester 2 starts :)

Is a day off in uni usefull? (this case tuesday and move workshop to wed 2-5 and prac to thurs 2-5)
That's a great first year timetable.
-
Sigh. Looks like I'll have to visit the student center tomorrow to swap subjects/fix my timetable. Probably means I won't get LMS access to the subject before uni starts too. Yay.

I have an 8am start on Monday and half my lectures off campus because the uni hates microbiology students :(
where off-campus?
-
ICT and Spot mostly

Ehh...Your old one was better. At least the Wednesday physics lecture and tute are skippable, though. Is the calc 1 (or whatever subject that is) practical attendance-based? I never did first year maths so I have no idea. If it is skippable, that's not too bad, I guess.

come on, only difference is the thurs subjects moved to wed haha. and that subject is calc 1 https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/view/2011/MAST10005 don't think it is...assignments are found online yes? if so then yea it can't be since it doesn't say it.

Caluclus 2 ,business in the global economy,engineering systems and phsyics advanced and i cant seem to get a clash free timetable :( Great now? :( :tickedoff: :'(

Also im enrolled in a subject that i realised i dont want to do..There seems to be no way i can drop it online?

thanks mate...hopefully the student advisor appointment i have will fix the clashes :(*

I'm not sure if they can fix the clashes if it's beyond their control. For example, some classes just clash and there's nothing you can do about it. The university just encourages you to swap subjects.
But if it's just an easy switcheroo, it'll be fine. Or if they need to enrol you in an overfull class for some reason, then they can.
-
Yeah, clashes happen. It's bad if two compulsory attendance classes clash, but otherwise you just have to attend one and catch up on the lecture you missed in your own time.
-
welll it can be done if i get the breadth subject im on waitlist for...and plus theres a physics advanced tutorial which makes it clash free but its full and it wont let me go on waitlist as theres an another one where theres room,just a shame that one clashes with a subject :(...Hopefully they can ge me into the two full classes :(

Ouch! Did you have that last year (and if so, do you have any tips for me?) or this year?

No, I have to do that this semester... If you want tips, walk and walk fast... I guess.
But in truth, if a class is running over schedule and your next class is more important, then you're more than free to leave through the back exits (if applicable). It's just common lecture etiquette to use the back exits if you:
1. Want to leave early OR
2. Come late to a lecture
And if you do Linear Algebra and have Lawrence Reeves as your lecturer, you'll understand the "etiquette".
Just remember, this is uni and literally, no one cares if you come late or need to leave early. :)
-
Oh okay, thanks for the tips - it's very reassuring to know that.
-
Lecturers will rage at you if you're late and use the front doors of the Rivett.

Depends which lecturers, but it's the Redmond, so... It's like one of the worst theatres in the whole uni.
-
Every lecturer. The Rivett just makes lecturers angry, I swear.
-
I have a tute listed as being at: Berkeley St 228. Does anyone know if this is inside one of the buildings like the spot building?
Otherwise I will probably end up walking up and down Berkeley St a hundred times looking for it.
-
Dunno. It'll be 228 Berkeley Street, so just follow the street numbers.

Not Hyam Rubenstein. But looking at the picture you'd think otherwise haha :P
-
Hm, I've got a chemistry prac on 10am mondays, do I go to that? I mean, I can't have a prac then can I? Do I just go to my next class?
Also, will I be affected too much if I miss the first lecture for a subject?
-
I've heard chem pracs start first week.
First lecture isn't very important.
-
On the LMS for Biology, it says we need to refer to our 'Workbook' for these test things we have due soon.. I don't have a workbook, as i bought the main textbook secondhand.. So where do i get one from, the main bookshop? Or is it something we get later..
-
The bio workbook is in the bookshop. It's ~$26 and I thought it would come with coverslips, slips and a permanent marker but apparently not.
There's only 2 chem prac classes that start in the first week. There was an e-mail that said it was only Groups 1 + 2 but then it mentioned Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning pracs.
-
Chem pracs started first week last year from memory, but it depends what group you're in. If you look in the Laboratory manual, it'll have what groups have pracs in what weeks. Groups are probably up on the noticeboard in the Chem building.
-
Soo..how do I find out which group I am in? :S
-
Soo..how do I find out which group I am in? :S
as jasrulz said, they will most likely be up in the chem building noticeboard (=
-
Yep, I saw the group allocations for science on the noticeboard in the chem building. Maybe try calling the place tomorrow and ask them to check bomb? I'm not sure if they'll be open but it's worth a shot.
The slides + coverslips + marker are right next to where the bio prac book is sold in the bookshop. They are sold separately for 8 bucks which is annoying cos it said that 26 was for the whole pack! Also, don't forget to show your union sticker at the bookshop I only remembered after I'd already bought it all :( They obviously don't want to remind you at the bookshop...stingy bastards.

Haha you guys have to get the slides and coverslips? When I did first year biology, they were provided for free :P Probably heaps of students like me were hopeless at cutting plants sandwiched between carrots preserved in 50% vinegar solution and wasting so many slides so they decided not to supply anymore ;D
-
Oh and the group allocations may have been posted on the LMS as well. If not, you'll have to go check and hope it's not on Monday morning.

The stupid lady said that I couldn't get a discount because it was already 10% off. :(
I'm going back on Monday to fix that, then.

Omg, I hated that! I could never get it thin enough! Made me hate plant biology even more :(
-
Groups aren't in LMS :'(
I'll need to call tomorrow? Does this mean I'm going to have to get my lab coat/safety glasses tomorrow if I am in G1/G2?
And student union members, how much did the Calc book cost you?

The bookshop seems to not like giving out any student union discounts, so i just went to encompass books, basically each book is about 10 dollars cheaper than at melb uni.
-
$50 book voucher, bitches.
Btw, if anybody wants eng or physics books, I'll sell them on.

bomb ive got the same problem as you dude..
don't know what to do :/

:( Yup we're screwed. I haven't even got my lab coat/glasses yet!
I'm going to call tomorrow and pray I'm not group 1/group 2
-
If I have to pay for my coverslips and slides this year, I'm not going to be happy :(
-
I'm in group 4 for chem :D
-
LOL I have a photo of one tiny section of the board.
If your student number happens to begin with 3895 3896 3897 or 3898 I may have your group number!

What day/time is your chem prac? Mine's Monday arvo as well so would that mean I'm also in Group 4 or is it different for everyone regardless of class time?
-
It's different regardless of class time. The group number doesn't indicate when in the week you have you prac, it indicates what weeks you have pracs, and which pracs you have to do. Cause some groups might start from prac 6, while others start from prac 1.
Also remember, if you do have a prac, you need to do ChemCAL for the prac (unless it's changed from last year).

:( 13 Melb is only open Mon-Fri...
What do I do? I'm thinking go to encompass and grab a lab coat tomorrow morning at 9ish and then go to chemistry just incase?
-

Chem store is open from 9am so just get your lab coat + glasses there. Then check the noticeboard since it's in the same building to see what group you're in.

This.
-
It's cheaper to get your goggles + lab coat from encompass cos they have a deal on. But you can just borrow mine tomorrow bomb if you want. I'll be there at about 9:45.
-
If I was going to be there early I would offer mine but my lecture starts at 10 and I need to wait in the coffee line.
-
Thanks a lot mech eng. Way to fuck up my timetable. Dropping your shitty subject now.

Ah thanks man :D, I'll probably try to buy them anyway just incase we can't find each other. :)

Haha see you in the coffee line, I'm an addict :|

Hey I just wanted to ask, I'm so confused about the goggles v. glasses situation. Someone explain to me why there is a difference and which is best to have?
(And me too...caffeeeiiiinnneee).

I believe goggles are for those who have contact lenses.
If you don't wear contacts, then glasses are fine :)
-
I do wear contacts! But I don't understand why goggles are necessary.
Like...aside from just general safety crap.
WILL THEY KNOW if I only have glasses at first before I go get the goggles? WILL THEY LOOK INTO MY EYES AND SEE THE LITTLE CIRCLE?
The goggles sound so unattractive. The word goggle... >:
-
^ i am going for the glasses as they seem less nerdy haha.
oh, and i also wear glasses/contacts :p
-

get on the goggles boy!
-
It is compulsory to have the goggles on for Chem students. If you are wearing glasses, you can get these 'side-shields' which you attach to your glasses but everyone will get goggles anyway :)
Also, they are quite strict with attire - tie up long hair, button up labcoats and wear closed shoes otherwise you'll get told off ;D

wait so why do they sell glasses then?
-
Not everyone does chem?
-
Okay I will buy them >:
-
I just found out you can wear the glasses even if your in chem........
-
Everyone wore glasses into Chem pracs last year (first years anyway), so they definitely were allowed last year. Don't know whether it's been changed this year or not, check your Lab manuals.
I wore contacts and the safety glasses and never got told off. I'm quite sure it's a safety thing, cause it's hard to wash out your eye if there's contacts on, as chemicals get trapped under the contacts. I used goggles for the first prac, but changed to glasses after that, because the goggles were annoying and kept fogging up for me.
-
Hm.. I just changed my breadth subject (again). Anyone know how long it'll take before I get lms access to it?

As if you changed out of Global Health, that subject is awesome

How long does it typically take for a recorded lecture to be uploaded?
I missed one and it's not on the LMS :(

MBB1 is the one I'm missing atm :)
-

As if not. I thought about it quite a bit and it seems too broad for my liking. I changed it AGAIN this morning (to Egypt under the Pharaohs) and the first lecture was ace.
-
So i just accessed by Lms..and it says my physics tutorial is on monday 9.00???? wtf?.when on my timetable its on thursday ?..thats bs cause if its on monday 9.00 it clashes with my eng lecture :(
-
ok now i get an email saying
Hi Students with a 9am Thursday tutorial in PHYC10001 physics advanced...
We have finally been able to secure another room at this time, so if you are
receiving this mail it means we have moved you from the original overfull location
