Hey everyone is there any actual deadline for registering for semester 2 subjects?

Cheers

Also I still haven't paid that 250 dollar fee (lol) so does this mean I cannot see my results? I can see WAM changes so I can calculate how much I get anyway .

For class registration: http://ask.unimelb.edu.au/app/answers/detail/a_id/5768/~/class-registration-dates
If you mean last day to enrol in the subject, go to the handbook entry for that specific subject and look for the 'last date to self enrol'.
And yes, I think that's the case where if you haven't paid the SSAF you don't get to see your results lol but you can defer the fee by filling out SA-HELP if you're eligible.

Does anyone know what could cause missing results? One of my subjects says "MIS".

I have three of my subject results on the UoM site, but im a bit confused. Is the grade they display the final grade for the subject? Or is it just the exam or assignments grade? On the home page it says grades are added progressively. What does this mean?

The grade published, is the overall score for the subject. And progressively means that once your exam is marked, the score will be published so you won't have to wait till the 8th to get all your marks
Good Luck for them all !

Does anyone here actually know what ''VER'' means?

Does anyone here actually know what ''VER'' means?

An unsolved mystery that will transcend time itself lol

I don't think anyone here will ever know for sure, but my guess is it's the version of the subject attached to the subject code e.g. the ones where I'm seeing a 2 for "Ver" all seem to be subjects that I'm aware have had a revamp over the last few years (but kept their subject codes). It would make sense to distinguish results all within the same subject code if they correspond to vastly different syllabi.

Ahh I see that would make sense! Some people were saying that it possibly indicates standardisation but I have done some subjects with a fair bit of scaling (e.g. CHEM 2) and that's VER 1 so it's definitely not standardisation.

I think it is indeed syllabi. I'll know next year for sure because I'm doing a subject that completely changed it's structure and form of assessments within the last two years.

I've asked this before but don't think i got any responses (which i'm cool with, but i'm still curious) - has anyone studied 3rd year marketing subjects or majored in marketing? How did you find them?

[Craftier]

What has been your most favourite subject at uni? (looking for an interesting one to do..)

To get the ball rolling, mine would have to be 'Introduction to sex, gender and culture', the readings were very interesting, the subject environment was incredible, the tutors were amazing plus I actually learnt how to write a good arts paper

Is it bad if I say QM2? It'd have to be qm. Everything else in an accounting/finance major so far is pretty eh.

I should probably post this in the requests thread, but if anyone could do an up to date review of IFA2 or BusFi that'd be cooool and I'd be grateful as

[That Nice Guy]

In some subjects in arts I keep seeing taking home exams , with these how long do you have to complete them? Also, in regards to prescribed texts, they refer to subject readers available at the coop store but I cannot find them. Also, do you have to read all the books in subject readers because in some of the courses im looking at there around 10 to 12 books in them and they are rather lengthy.   
one last thing, when timetabling, if lectures clash for a subject can you still enrol into them?

Did the BusFi course change this year?

[RKTR]

Just did my first subject review on BIOM20001. Feel free to give me feedback or ask me questions. Will probably do one for BusFi soon
