God dammit I somehow missed an entire page for an exam. 0/10 marks. Fukking stupid way to lose marks.

Fuk.

Almost did this in my year 12 chem midyear exam. Finished the exam in about 45 minutes, did it again in about 30, and then with 15 minutes to go realised I'd missed two of the pages that were stuck together. Major panic stations.

Does anyone know by any chance when during the sem 2 exam period the Intermediate Macroeconomics and Food for a Health Planet exams have been historically scheduled? Obviously this is super sketchy, but would love a rough guide (even if people could just say when they might have done the exam themselves before).

Last year, the FFHP2 exam was on the second Thursday of the exam period

I didn't need one.
If you do however decide you want one you can have my unused (but opened) kit for $20.

Thanks heaps for your insight, I'll let you know if I do need one

Andrew Melatos' Classical Physics assignment is tearing me a new Lagrangian :')

Tearing a new one? What do you mean?
The Lagrangian question was fairly straightforward IMO. The rotation question was a pain.

I don't know, I'm not having any trouble with the rotations question but this angular frequency stuff is tearing me up. I have (negative number) when there's no negative sign in the solution. And even if the negative wasn't there, I'm underestimating by a factor of for some reason and I don't know why.

Yuck.

Thanks (:

Sounds like you're approaching it by looking at the integral when you perturb the path slightly (I was doing the same thing and getting similar results) - I don't think that will get you to the answer.

You want to use the fact that the action ought to be stationary with respect to change in certain paremeters, I believe.

Yeah just take a partial derivative wrt one of the variables

Thanks a lot guys, I'll make it through this subject yet

Hi there,

Has anyone on here done the "InterviewReady" course run by GradReady for the MMI?

If so, would you recommend the course based on your experience? Is it really worth all that money, and did it work for you?

Thanks!

Hey,
Just wanted to ask since 'PHRM20001 Pharmacology: How Drugs Work' is not a prereq for pharmacology in biomed, would i be put in any sort of disadvantage if i don't do it and decide to major in pharm? Or is it recommended?

Top tip: don't major in pharm full stop. It's dreadful.







*doing one of the core pharm subjects at the moment. Tedious, poorly organised and unnecessarily difficult given the simplicity of the content.

Couldn't agree more with Trav.

Couldn't believe that the average for our mid sem was 50%, I told myself that I wasn't going to score that low and still messed it up - I guess this subject is meant to screw us all.... Have never done this bad before in my 3 years in uni LOL fml

Pharm is excellent, how dare you insult the Gods!

What i think you really mean to say is dont major in pharm at Melbourne Uni :p.

No but really, i have almost two majors now and a minor, pharmacology isn't extremely conceptually difficult in most cases if you work at it (but that's true of everything i suppose). Arguably, pure physiology has more difficult concepts (even though pharm has some physiology). I think its more the sheer amount and breadth of things you have to know. If you don't like it, it'll slowly wear you down and beat you into the ground. I've spent a lot of nights rote memorising the names of 50 different drugs and how they work.
