Don't worry, hobbitle, almost everyone who took the first-year calculus subjects this semester will be feeling the same way

What's the difference between "Summer" and "January" subjects?

What's the difference between "Summer" and "January" subjects?

'Summer' subjects run from Jan 6 to Feb 23 or something like that, while 'January' subjects have varied dates. Eg. one 'January' subject might be from 6 Jan to 17 Jan, while another one might be for 4 days at the end of Jan. There are also subjects in February.

Summer, January and February subjects are still considered as the 'same' thing though. You can only do a maximum of 2 Summer/January/February subjects, even if you find a tempting 4-day subject that doesn't clash with your other summer subjects. More than 2 would be considered overloading, and you wouldn't want to do this anyway.

Thanks! Might be stupid question but where can I check what dates exactly the subject runs?

It'll usually say in the Handbook. Otherwise you might have to check the timetable specifically (use link from on Handbook entry).

This is a list of SOME intensive subjects, with dates etc: http://arts.unimelb.edu.au/arts-student-centre/options/intensive-subjects

Holiday-related doldrums have led me to this:

Should be fine since it doesn't say 'sequence'. But double check with the subject coordinator.

I was looking at the 2012 link to the handbook.

The 2014 link explicitly states BIOL10004 and BIOL10005 as pre-reqs.

ah

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).

Hey I saw your post in the results thread. I also got a really low score for my body mind and medicine essay. Like WAY lower than what I expected. I just did a bit of research on appealing a result and it looks like a pretty complicated process.

Yeah, fuck maths.

Wait, linear algebra can't be that hard right?

I heard it is pretty abstract and conceptual. I.e. If you aren't that type of thinker, it is definitely going to be difficult.
