is anyone planning to do a winter intensive breadth here?

[emdiz]

I only ever go to MSD, Brownless and ERC but they never looked too packed when I went this week. I dare say it was even more scarce than during semester

Can confirm! I've been to ERC and Brownless this week and had no trouble finding a seat in either

i know a fair few people are doing some of the animation ones that are offered at southbank. this page has a pretty good list of the subjects you can do in winter/summer http://arts.unimelb.edu.au/arts-student-centre/options/intensive-subjects

Ugh usually I don't start feeling the lack of sleep until near the end of exams but it's already kicking in... 11 more days... Can't really complain tho, work let me study at the office so I have the best study venue... Have pretty much moved in... hope they don't mind :-/

Quick question, do i need a 50%+ mark in a exam to pass a subject?
Like for BIO 1 , i've got around 30% from pracs,ILT, etc. While the exam weights 60%, does that mean if i get 1/3 of the questions right i will have a pass?
Thanks

It depends if there's a hurdle for your prac or exam marks. If there aren't any, then yes getting 1/3 of questions on the exam will net you a pass

You can just walk from Parliament, it's 10 minutes max going in one direction.

Soooooo I've been slacking a shit-ton during swotvac. I'm a filthy first year, but is it easy enough to do decently on the exams with minimal preparation? Subjects are FNCE101/MKTG101/COMP101/MAST106 and I've passed all assignments and whatnot

Depends on your definition of "decently". It's possible to pass with minimal preparation for Finance 1 and Principles of Marketing, not sure about the other two.

I'm going through past Calc2 exams and they don't seem too bad (very similar to the problem sheets). My main issue is remembering the formulas/methods to solve like 100 different questions off the top of my head

ye remembering methods is going to suck, but oh well, still got over a week to study (and do every problem sheet from 5 onwards >.<)
