noob question: does it matter which semester i put my subjects in? how does that even work -.-

Well the semester you put it in determines the semester you do it in... For those that let you do them in either semester, then you will have to think ahead about what later subjects may require them as prerequisites. Otherwise, there isn't really a difference in which semester you do it in.

How do you select level 1 Science subjects instead of breadth for first year? In the select subjects menu of the enrolment, I've picked 5 (which is the max) level 1 subjects and one subject in the Science Level 1,2 & 3 which I assume fills out the 6th subject slot for the year. However in the Science and Breadth Section it which I assume is used to select up to 2 science subjects instead of breadth, it only allows for the selection of Level 2 and Level 3 Science subjects and not Level 1 subjects.

Put your extra science subjects in BS-SCISUBLV123 - Science Level 1, 2 & 3 if you want to do them instead of breadth.

'Must have >=30 in VCE Specialist Mathematics is an Anti-Requisite for MAST10005 - Calculus 1 in which you are trying to enrol.'


does this mean because i got >=30 in spesh i can't enrol in this sub?

[nubs]

nope you can't, unless you get permission

[Peedles]

No if you've gotten over 30 for spesh, you must complete calculus 2 and are unable to do calculus 1.

Theoretically, yes.  In practice, some people get away with it.

you'll have to give away one of your breadth subjects if you want eight level 1 subjects at first year

Assuming all completed subjects give you 12.5 credits, (I've been told a few do not) according to the guidelines, you can do 18-20 science subjects out of a total of 24

Assuming you want 6 breadth, then you must do 18 science subjects across levels 1 - 3

Take away at least 6 level 3 subjects (you need to do at least six subjects at level 3), you end up with 12 subjects that can be done from levels 1 - 2

Take away another 5 level 2 subjects (need to do at least five level 2 subjects) you end up with the option of doing a maximum of 7 level 1 science subjects

That's only if you keep all 6 breadth subjects, you can, if you wish to, trade in 1 out of a possible 2 breadth subjects with science subjects, so you'd enroll in the 'BS-SCI&BREADTH Science and Breadth' category and pick the science subject you want

anddd, can we start timetabling for the subjects in Semester 2 on the 30th?

[jasrulz63]

Nope, only for semester 1.

[nubs]

goood

and I only have to enroll in the semester 1 subjects, don't I? I can leave Semester 2 for later?
so when I'm emailing myself the statement of liability, I will only have to pay for the Semester 1 subjects, and then do the Semester 2 subjects later?

Is it really necessary to do Calculus 1 while doing Physics 1 if I haven't done specialist in year 12? What would I need to know for physics that would be taught in calculus?

[Peedles]

What makes you think you need to do Calculus 1 while doing Physics? You can do either of them alone. I did Physics 1 a semester before I did Calculus 2. Physics 1 only requires VCE mathematics (methods) knowledge.

[mickeymouse]

has anyone done japanese 1 as a breadth before? and is it difficult? I'm hoping to do an easy breadth first year

When I was selecting it, it was suggested that I do calculus 1 as well. Just wanted to make sure.

These student cards are horrible...
