Arts subject selection

[lexitu]

Pfft you guys are chicken!  I'm excited for it.

Don't you dare offend me into studying it! I'll see.

Right now I'm doing: Mind, Brain & Behaviour 1, From Homer to Hollywood, Creative Writing: Ideas & Practice and Accounting Reports & Analysis for breadth. Originally I wanted to also persue a major in creative writing but I've decided not to now. I guess that means I only have the option of the possibility of going on with 2 majors for second year.

Hmm yeah I guess you are... Seems pretty rigid for an apparently flexible model. Big decision for you next semester, all the best

Random question - Provided we have completed and passed a level one breadth subject in first semester, are we allowed to enrol into a level 2 breadth subject in second semester?

Yes.  Just make sure that you fulfill the minimum breadth component of your degree some time and the breadth combinations won't matter at all.

Thanks for that. How do we enrol into a level 2 subject though? On my study planner it will only allow me to add another level one breadth component for next semester.

Have you tried scrolling down to level 2 breadth?  Or maybe they've disabled enrolling.  But I doubt it since I changed subjects for next semester 2 weeks ago.

I tried to do that but it says there is an error in processing. I also heard from a professor today that first years are not allowed to do second year subjects which is veeeeery annoying! Unless, however, we get special permission :S

LIES.

LIES.

Yeah.  Lies.  I know someone who did Business Finance in their second semester of uni.

I'd wager that it's the buggy portal playing up again.  Try again tomorrow morning and if it doesn't prevail, go to your student centre.

On a final note, this shall once be said again:

In the words of Jamison:

I BLAME THE MELBOURNE MODEL.

Gosh darn it, lies?! That's reassuring. It still doesn't work so I guess I have to visit the Student Centre *sigh*

Hey I just realised that in the handbook it says that out of the 75 points that are not arts subjects, you have to do at least 50 points of breadth with the other 25 being either arts subjects or more breadth.

Potentially would that mean I could hedge my bets and do 3 arts subjects and the IDF next semester with no breadth? Just wanted to make sure.

You only have to do 4 breadth yeah. If you did one in 1st semester then you have to do another 3 across your next 5 semesters. You can do 4 arts subjects if you want in semester 2

That's good to know. Do I need to have my study plan ammended to do this though as currently it comes up with this:[IMG]http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/9225/breadthtrack.jpg[/img]

meaning I can't pick a fifth arts discipline subect for the year? At the moment if I click choose subject it only comes up with breadth subjects and not arts ones.

Sorry for all the questions, the study plan is just really confusing to me.
