For Monash's Commerce courses including business the uni recommends 3 hours of study for each contact hour to get a credit. For Commerce, that 36 hours extra on top of 12 contact hours. Do most people actually do that much? Because it seems quite a lot considering many people have jobs at uni.

Most people will do that much during the exam period

What about during non exam periods?

Depends on the person's work ethic (the same for any degree)

Ideally you'd want to work 3 hours per contact hour, but in reality I doubt that happens.

Commerce is a joke pretty easy.

You can HD most units with a tiny bit of effort during SWOTVAC and no study during the semester.

Obviously, there are harder units, but the first- and second-year units are really easy, as long as you can grasp concepts quickly - that and memorise a ton and dump it when required.

Haven't been enjoying the units so far. Had more fun doing my own reading and study (yay! Khan Academy!).

[sam.utute]

P.S. Soooo nervous about results.

Not looking forward to it :S

At least the cricket will be on.

[ShortBlackChick]

Ah alright. Is it quite popular? I won't be the only kid in the lecture theatre right?
The written work for this unit takes up 90% of the assessment. Being my first Arts subject, what tasks can I expect?

Ahahahaha Disa that 90% includes the exam LOL. You would expect the unit guide would be more specific as to what exactly it is, but it would defs include a major essay as well and the exam. An exam is after all written assessment!

I wouldnt have a clue as to how popular it is though

Hahah, is that even possible to do in Med?

[taiga]

LMAO 3 hours per contact hour what a joke.

That means eng students would be needing to study 120 hours a week.

First year commerce units need approximately 3 minutes per day, or you can do 21 minutes per week it's really up to you. How you study in the lead up to exams/major assessments is really where the marks will be differentiated.

Hahahah, I just find this funny

[DisaFear]

So what subjects are you guys planning to do next year?
This is what I have at the moment

[pi]

If I pass first year:
MED2031 - MEDICINE 3
MED2042 - MEDICINE 4
MED2000 - YEAR 1 AND 2 FINAL GRADE

*fingers crossed*

[paulsterio]

Well I guess for me, it depends on a couple of things.

If I get into Science/Education - Majoring in Maths, Minoring in Computational Science:-

S1:
- MTH1035 - Techniques for Modelling
- STA1010 - Statistical methods for science
- FIT1029 - Algorithmic Problem Solving
- EDF1303 - Learning and educational inquiry 1

S2:
- MTH2015 - Multivariable Calculus
- FIT1040 - Programming Fundamentals
- FIT1008 - Introduction to computer science
- EDF1304 - Learning and educational inquiry 2

If I get into Science/Computer Science - Majoring in Maths, Minoring in Physics, Majoring in Programming:-

S1:
- MTH1035 - Techniques for Modelling
- PHS1011 - Physics I
- FIT1040 - Programming Fundamentals
- FIT1029 - Algorithmic Problem Solving

S2:
- MTH2015 - Multivariable Calculus
- PHS1022 - Physics II
- FIT1004 - Data Management
- FIT1008 - Introduction to computer science


If I get into neither: #yolo 2nd year medicine - MED2031, MED2042

[b^3]

If I DON'T get the transfer to aero/sci
Semester 1
ENG2091 - Advanced Engineering Mathematics A
MAE2401 - Aircraft Structures 1
MEC2401 - Dynamics I
MEC2402 - Engineering Design I
Semester 2
ENG2092 - Advanced Engineering Mathematics B
MAE2402 - Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer
MAE2403 - Aerospace Computational Mechanics
MAE2404 - Aerodynamics I

If I DO get the transfer to aero/sci
Semester 1
PHS2011 - Physics: Quantum Concepts and Technologies
MEC2401 - Dynamics I
MTH2010 - Multivariable Calculus
MTH2021 - Linear Algebra with Applications
Semester 2
PHS2022 - Physics: Electromagnetism, Light and Entropy
MAE2404 - Aerodynamics I
MAE2402 - Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer
STA1010 - Statistical Methods for Science

This is what I have at the moment

(Image removed from quote.)

Remember to drag me along to MTH2132 if it fits with my timetable

[Russ]

no more arts... ever

(Image removed from quote.)

yeah... I just picked forensic medicine because it sounded cool

The information you got from Torts and Civil Procedure B will really help for LAW4170 afaik
