How strict are they with the prerequisite "And any other second year level subject from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics." in this subject?

Any way to do this subject having only done Real Analysis?

Hey guys, is it possible to appeal an essay mark that's worth 50% of your subject grade? There aren't any comments on Turnitin and I'd kinda want to know why I got the mark I got, which was lower than what I was expecting (by quite a bit).

Should be able to get around it with permission from the lecturer. I know many people that have done third level math subjects without prerequisites, you just have to have good grades and a reason.

Yeah you'll definitely be able to appeal the mark if you really want to. I would assume you'd follow this procedure and policy - http://ask.unimelb.edu.au/app/answers/detail/a_id/2910. However, there might be another kind of appeal procedure since you're appealing just an essay mark. Double check this with your subject coordinator.

Before you do anything though, you'll need to wait until results are finalised on the 6th December. The result might be different on this day, you just never know! If you're still unhappy with the result, speak to your subject coordinator and make sure you have grounds for appeal. Usually tutors/assessors won't write many comments on essays at all - so it's going to be a lot more useful to you if you can get your hands on a filled-in marking criteria sheet if you can!

So I really, really want to do the Pharmacology major, but I really don't want to do the practical subject - I've always sucked at pracs.

Does anyone know anything about it?

quick question: if I did umep maths this year, how do I find out which subjects i'm exempt from? I've had a browse through the umep website, but to no avail.

any help appreciated!

It counts for Accelerated Maths 1 only; you still need to do Accelerated Maths 2. That's why I didn't do UMEP maths

If you study 3 subjects in semester 1 and 2 subjects semester 2, are you still considered a full time student? (I want to know for Tertiary concession for public transport... I ain't paying full fee for fares....)

In the commerce faculty there is a prize ceremony with food and drink, then you get some money. Usually between 200 and 500 dollars, however I've seen a 2000 prize before.
