Can anyone help me with a question?

My current semester is:
Chemistry 1
Biology
Physics Fundamentals
History

next semester I will be doing:
Chemistry 2
Biology
Calc 1
Data Analysis

These are all level 1 subjects.

If I do 2 level 1 breadth subjects next year, will they be weighted as 1 or 2 in my final GPA calculations?
I hope that made sense.

Pretty much I want to do French, but don't know the difference between French20015 and French10001. THey are both French 3 but one is level 2 and other is level 1.

Weighted as 2.

So, the weighting matters on the year you do it, not the level of the subject?

[LeviLamp]

It depends on what you want to do in postgrad (if anything) as to whether the uni will weight or exclude certain marks etc.
For a medicine hopeful, though, I believe it's the year you take a course in that affects its weighting.

[Bardia Saeedi]

Jeez, they don't make it easy do they?

Also, one final question. Is the subject co-ordinator the best person to email if I have questions regarding the subject (ie prerequisites and all that)

In general yes (for MD,DDS etc)? I heard for engineering that they look at the level you do. So if you do a level 2 subject in year 1, they would use your score there to work out whether you have the 65 avg for the Masters or not. If someone else more knowledgeable could clarify/confirm, that would be great!

And for prereqs msg the coordinator, if not msg the MDHS centre (if you have a qn about PG MD/DDS)

FREN10001 is for people in their first year of French at uni, you would go into this one since you haven't done any French subjects at uni so far. FREN20015 is for people in their second year of French at uni i.e. those who have done French 1 and 2.

I have another irritating question in re: exchange credits.

Say that I'm only going on exchange in my last semester, before which I've already completed 21 or 22 or 23 of my 24 subjects. Does that mean I can only take 3 or 2 or 1 subject(s) on exchange? Or is there like a minimum number of points you have to have left if you want to go on exchange?

You need to have at least one semester left if you want to go on exchange.  Otherwise you cannot satisfy this requirement: 'be able to study the equivalent of at least a full-time load while overseas' from the Mobility website.

Also keep in mind if you go on exchange right before you intend to graduate, you won't graduate on time.  You'll have to delay your grad (so if you are meant to graduate in Dec** you'd have to graduate in March of next year and sometimes June, depending on how long it takes them to deal with the transfer of the credit and obtain the results from your exchange school).

Okay that really helps out.

The student centre weren't too sure about the difference. Thanks

So I'd need to have at least 37.5 points left?

And yeah I considered the second part, but graduating later won't really matter under my current post-grad plan.

Thanks!

Is anyone doing the Semester 1 Lvl 2 Chemistry subject...

Chemistry: Reactions and Synthesis?

Is anyone also doing any of the Level 3 Chemistry subejcts?

If so, drop me a PM or quote me.

Thanks!

lznxl is doing Reactions and Synthesis I think.

This might interest you health/science/development types:

https://www.facebook.com/events/1495683553986065/
http://muhi.org.au/programs/ghmp/

It's a mentoring program where you get paired up with health professionals (people like Tom Moore, Rob Moodie, etc) for six months. The program is open to anyone that's interested but I think it'd be really great especially for anyone interested in doing research in health-related bio/psych/anything else, and there seems to be quite a few of you in this thread.
