^Well, I'm avoiding any hard maths subjects (sorry TT). And I'm doing accounting, finance and economics majors. So you can limit your exposure to maths at uni if you hate it.

But srsly, everyone needs to go and do some financial modelling. I'm doing some self learning on the Excel using VBA (only for equities). Financial models are really useful if you want to become an analyst of some sort, so get on it.

That includes you IB minded kids - I have pity on your soul...

Is it me or is the campus always under perpetual construction? All three years i've been here they've always been constantly tearing shit down. As someone who spends a lot of time in that area, the renovations to the med/biomedical buildings near the bus loop are especially annoying.

Expect it to be the same until 2030 at least. Take a look at the disclosed documents for the "Monash Masterplan" - at least as of next year it won't take 25 minutes to get from the Maths building to the bus loop


On another note, I finally picked my majors! I'm doing genetics/physiology, but I don't actually get to do any GEN or PHY units until 3rd year LOL

[TrueTears]

have they finished the renovations around the maths building (28) yet? Last time I went there, every path was blocked off lol

[alondouek]

lol nope, it's completely isolated from everywhere but the engineering precinct (and even then it takes a good while to get there)

[TrueTears]

so damn annoying ey, last time it took me ages to find an entrance,  ended up terribly late for my meeting lol

My maths lecturers still manage to get to my lecture before me. Wizards.

Has anyone done any HSCxxxx units? I'm trying to do HSC2111 and HSC2102 as electives next year, but I'm being dicked around by the Faculty of Science. Apparently, they don't consider them to be "science units"... shame, because I really like Public Health.

I've lodged a request with the Faculty to ask for permission (apparently they can potentially make an exception for 2111, not sure about the other). It seems really silly to exclude units like Introduction to Clinical Research and Quantitative Research Design and Methodology because they're "not science-y enough".

Learning about scientific theory and practice is as "science-y" as you can get! ffs

Am I the only one who keeps forgetting the new law building has the ridiculously stupid design of two single-person doors at either side of the front entrance, instead of one giant one in the middle WHICH WOULD BE THE LOGICAL THING TO DO, and I keep walking into the middle bit

I bet UoM architects designed it

Am I the only one who keeps forgetting the new law building has the ridiculously stupid design of two single-person doors at either side of the front entrance, instead of one giant one in the middle WHICH WOULD BE THE LOGICAL THING TO DO, and I keep walking into the middle bit

I bet UoM architects designed it

Classic UoM lol

Are these side doors the ones opposite South 1? I've never seen entrance nor egress of any student through those... also, aren't they now blocked off by construction?

The only thing I know about the law library is that its couches are the best for napping

Hey, at least they didn't tell you that astrophysics isn't a science!
