Title: Timetables
Post by: Russ on January 30, 2011, 05:39:40 pm
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!

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.

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"
Title: Re: Timetables
Post by: rustic_metal on January 30, 2011, 07:02:39 pm
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.

the tute is missing >:(
Title: Re: Timetables
Post by: rustic_metal on January 30, 2011, 07:10:18 pm
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.

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 :)
Title: Re: Timetables
Post by: minilunchbox on January 30, 2011, 07:16:58 pm
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.

How long after lectures is optimal to go to the tutorial?
Title: Re: Timetables
Post by: ReVeL on January 30, 2011, 09:39:06 pm
^ 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.
Title: Re: Timetables
Post by: Sah123 on January 30, 2011, 09:44:28 pm
Does it matter where we position our tutorials and practical sessions in the week? Should they follow or precede our lectures?
Title: Re: Timetables
Post by: simpak on January 30, 2011, 09:48:21 pm
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.

Title: Re: Timetables
Post by: simpak on January 30, 2011, 10:07:16 pm
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.

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.
Title: Re: Timetables

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.

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.

Tuesdays and Thursdays are usually uni nights at a lot of clubs. So if you can get Wednesdays and Fridays off that is good
Title: Re: Timetables
Post by: rustic_metal on January 31, 2011, 12:31:16 am
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.

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?)

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.

@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

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...

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...

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.

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.

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!

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)

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

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??

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.

Still however, point taken.  :)

Overwrites. Just use the individual subject change option to tweak whatever you have.

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

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)

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.  :)

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.

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.

Thanks for that. I actually found a way to do it without having the clash :)

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)!

Are you going to be able to handle Mondays? 10-5 without breaks is pretty full on.

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

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?

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?

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.)
Title: Re: Timetables
Post by: Russ on February 10, 2011, 04:58:10 pm
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!
Title: Re: Timetables
Post by: Edmund on February 10, 2011, 05:37:05 pm
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

Uni just moved my 12pm lecture to an 8am lecture off campus.

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

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?

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.

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.

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*.

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.

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?

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:

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

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?
Title: Re: Timetables
Post by: mankay on February 19, 2011, 03:44:33 pm
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!)

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.

@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.

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.
Title: Re: Timetables
Post by: stonecold on February 21, 2011, 08:56:45 am
^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.
Title: Re: Timetables
Post by: simpak on February 21, 2011, 09:00:13 am
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.
Title: Re: Timetables
Post by: Russ on February 21, 2011, 09:06:11 am
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.

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

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.
Title: Re: Timetables
Post by: Massofbubbles on February 21, 2011, 02:47:41 pm
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 :)

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.

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.
Title: Re: Timetables

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.

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.  :)

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.

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.

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).

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

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.

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