Thivvy of Thivvy memes?

yes

and

Thivvy I did it. I got 87 in it and I'm not that smart. It is pretty dry compared to sports coaching for example. The work load is minimal, and if you don't mind writing a few essays, I'd recommend it, despite to being a bit dry!! I would say it is easy to do well in.

thanks heaps! yeah i'm planning on doing Sports Coaching 3rd year. I think I'll do this too, as it is Level 2. Not too fussed about it not being all that interesting. Seems alright. Biggest worry was scoring well and it seems its not too bad. Thanks again
What do we do in the workshops? Any more info? cheers

In the workshops there is just a guest speaker, or you go on some excursion.
The excursion to the MCG is really fun, but the one to the Potter Museum is boring.
In addition, I only went to 2 lectures over the whole semester.
The lectures are not relavent to the assessment tasks, so you can get away with not going to them.
Overall, I'd say it is a pretty cruisy subject

Hey guys i got 2 questions:


1) When do we register / do our time table for semester 2

2) I probably failed a couple of subjects   Who can i talk to about this and who can i talk to about taking summer course or just some advice for some general direction ?

thankyou

1.  July 1st they put a notice on the portal if you wanna check it out, it'll open at 10am.
2.  The student centre will have academic advisors but they probably won't talk to you about it until you actually get your results and know that you truly did fail.

Anyone done DASC20014 Animals and Society 2: Humans & Animals? Looks interesting and I'm curious as to what the practicals are.

[simpak]

Omg I haven't done that subject but it looks so nice ;_; I wanna do it now.
And the top skill for you to develop is 'academic excellence', I can't think of anything I would want to take away more.

Edit: cue the constant refresh sesh starting Monday my friends, just got notice that someone got a score up on their study plan today!

Noooooo I want my marks back already haha!! I'm so impatient. I know it would be physically impossible to mark all those biochem and anatomy exams quicker than at least a week 

[claireb]

:3 good luck for the exam!! When is it? Argh I just want my exams to be finished already 3:

Thanks! Good luck for the rest of yours It's Tuesday, chem is Monday D: Might die. I feel so weird studying without having practice exams to do. It's so hard to predict the level of detail expected.

I don't think they change the exam between years so: when I did it I remember having to draw a diagram showing gene rearrangements (so maybe practice that) and I remember a section where it was asking me crap about Shigella I think (if you still do that).  And Cheryl's section was super easy but now she doesn't teach! Literally part of her section was something along the lines of "suggest a way to improve hygiene in a hospital".  I was like wtf is this a trick.

Ooh thanks I'll definitely brush up on those! What topic did Cheryl teach? The new lecturer we got teaches cell/molecular biology type stuff like membrane transport etc.

So 2nd year chem is on Monday and it's taken me 9 days of dedicated study to do half the course so far, and I have two days left for the rest of it.

Dicks.
