General Timetabling Questions

[Kanon]

So I'm looking at drafting my timetable before RMIT's timetabling system comes up, just wondering if you could help me with a few questions that I had.

• Which of the following are compulsory (generally) to attend? Lectures, Tutorials, Labs, Pass, T/L(Tute/Lab)
• Do you find certain combinations particularly draining? I'd imagine sitting down to 3 lecturers/tutorials/labs in a row would be very tiring, so when timetabling do you personally try avoid bunching them together?
• Say you have a lecture that ends at 1:30 and a tutorial that begins at 1:30, should we try and not bunch those two up together? Are Professors/Tutors flexible on this?
• Do you personally tend to find physically sitting in the lectures to be more effective interms of learning than watching any recorded lectures?
• Did you have any additional advice for JAFFY's first timetable?

Thank you! I'll probably come across others soon enough though
