Most of my days were 8-1however if there were pracs my times would be 8-4 or 5

Ultimately it depends how you make ur timetable...i had friends that did 8-6 on mon,wed,fri but had the other 2 days off and they're in biomed

We ask that question all the time haha

im also doing intro microeconomics so its hard to find the right mix of times haha. ive found a mix which lets me finish at 3.15 four days a week (with 2 hrs lunch break) and finish at 12 on wednesday. should i try to find another combo or is that the best its gonna get?

Any advice to choose between Finance 1, Principles of Business Law and Introductory Macroeconomics?
I completed Intro Micro with a high H1 in Semester 1, so I sorta know what should be expected for Macro if I chose that, but I'm more leaning towards PBL and F1. Any recommendations would be appreciated guys

[Aegis]

I'm doing intro microeconomics as well

Honestly I would like to have a day off...you still have time try other combos for the time being


EDIT: the lectures for micro are on tuesday and thursday...i guess no legitimate day off then

[Greatness]

I haven't taken PBL but from what I hear you just need to know case studies well and be able to apply it on the MC tests and the exam. If you like the subject you'll do alright, but if you hate it then there'll be a problem haha
Finance 1 is a nice and easy introduction into finance in general, a lot of calculations and theory but nothing too difficult. I'd say it's comparable in difficulty with micro.
Macro requires more conceptual knowledge, gives a good introduction to what the macroeconomy is like and how it works so definitely an interesting subjects. Harder than micro and finance 1 imo. Pretty much everything you learn will be related to a graph and there is a mathematical explanation and reasoning behind the concepts.

Generally considered to be a massive bludge. I'm doing a similar Level 2 subject in sem 2.

Note to Jaffies: You can easily get away with not attending Intro Micro lectures. They're all lectopia-ed and the number of online resources you can use to study is almost too damn high. I got a H2A while missing well over half of them. (would've got a H1 but i'm an idiot who forgot to do a 5% multi choice quiz, DON'T make that mistake jaffies.)

Pick a language if you're so inclined. I really enjoy languages, and I never thought I would have at university level. It's very chill so long as you rock up to lectures, because it's simply passive learning for 4hrs per week. Just tune in and you actually learn a lot.

Principles of Business Law - do we have to attend any tutorials?

[simpak]

^ Worst breadth and nobody ever believes me

[Aurelian]

Out of curiosity, does anyone know what sort of things you do in second year anatomy pracs?

[Russ]

Look at prosections and examine them mostly. Bit of body painting and physical demonstration in that vein, since the department is big on that for certain things (surface landmarks, pelvis etc.). No real dissecting unless you major iirc.

[Aurelian]

Awesome, thanks =)

Is the student portal down or is it just my computer? Was hoping to access the breadth database

Is there a way to remove a subject?
and
Do we have to select subjects for semester 1 or both semesters?
