re PATH20001, no attendance was taken during lectures or CALs in 2014. You can do the CALs in your own time anyway, provided you use the program on the computers at uni that is.

Regarding MIIM20002, you need to attend all the practicals, but otherwise that's it.

Thank you both so much! Had a plan to do ANAT and PHYS together in sem 2 but ANAT had one lecture clash with MIIM20001 so I split PHYS into sem 1 and ANAT sem 2. This also allowed me to do PATH but again there was a clash. Do you think I should just put up with the clashes in each sem? I'm so conflicted

ANAT and PHYS "belong together!" It'll make your life easier taking those two at once. In your circumstances, lecture capture works fine for anatomy, and if all else fails, there's wikipedia and the prescribed textbooks. I can't speak for MIIM (didn't do it), but from what I gather, it should be more similar to PATH than the other two. If you are also taking BCMB20002, it shouldn't matter when you take it, but it's more conceptually similar to PATH than ANAT/PHYS.

Doing ANAT20006 and PHYS20008 (and MIIM20001 - prerequisite for MIIM20002) in semester 1, and MIIM20002 and PATH20001 (and BCMB20002) in semester 2 sounds like a winning combination. (y)

In my personal experience, clashes become more prevalent the further you go on. I didn't have any clashes at all in first year (in Biomedicine that would be largely counter-intuitive anyway, but my breadth subjects also fitted in nicely), nor last semester. This semester I had one - like you I initially wasn't happy about it but you'll get accustomed to relying on the lecture capture eventually (and if it fails and they don't provide you with an older recording, you just need to ask someone else in the class for their annotations and follow up any uncertainties). It's only a problem if the subject doesn't record the lectures at all. Continuing with the trend, it looks like my third year will be clashes galore. Fun fun fun! -.-

I was wondering if it was only PHYS that took attendance since that would be my main concern. If not I think you both have basically confirmed my initial timetable plans. Thank you both so much for this!

Is it crazy that I'm legit considering transferring to Science just for the opportunity to go on exchange? I wanted to go second sem next year but I'm an idiot and left it too late and now I don't think it's possible while doing Biomed...

for those who've done flora and fauna in the past, how much from the ILA's was on the exam? (i've only done about half of them)

Hey guys!

For next year, I'm doing Anatomy & Physiology & Biochemistry, but what order in terms of semesters & combinations does everyone recommend doing it in, as I have the choice of first and second semester combos? Thanks!

do anat and phys together

Order of semesters barely matters to be honest.

Thanks Mr. T-Rav!

I think that it's that way on the sample subject outline for the 'Human Structures and Functions' major provided on the website and I just followed that anyhow!

I'm doing Anat & Physiology sem 1!

So the other week I let one of the second year biomeds share all my HSF notes on their Facebook (she asked for them but I didn't think it was fair for one person to have that resource just because they knew me) and one of the sneaky fuckers has been selling them online on StudentVIP.

Shits me up the wall. I've shared my notes with my cohort for three years now and not once has that been abused. Give it to the second years and within a day they're being sold online -.-


Disclaimer: not actually shitty with the second years, just really disappointed that one of them abused the privilege. Uni is nowhere near collaborative enough and trying to make money off other people's shit is a pretty good explainer as to why it's not.

Are notes that valuable in uni you can sell them?

I did all 3 together in the one semester (even though I go to Monash). I'd honestly prefer taking Phys separately from anatomy. That's just personal preference

They've been up for two weeks and sold three times, despite the fact that everyone in Biomed already has access. Weird.

Ah well, I've contacted StudentVIP awaiting a response. Would love to know the name of the person who put them up

Your intentions are admirable, but I think you need to be more smart about it, protect yourself and be more careful about what you share. I'm not someone that keeps everything to himself, but I wouldn't allow my hard work to be exploited like this. I understand you wanted these resources to be shared with everyone so that it didn't become a matter of "it's who you know rather than what you know" and no one was "disadvantaged" per se (I haven't seen them though :S) but freely giving out notes doesn't necessarily mean you're being collaborative - rather, you give students who don't deserve the help an opportunity for a free ride. I frequently take part in group study where it's evident everyone is working together, contributing and there is fair give and take. It's not helping everyone, but at least I know my input is being respected and valued, and that I have made a difference nonetheless.

Anyway, I'm just trying to pass the time between my two exams today lol. So close to finishing!
