I wanna take a science breadth probably biology or chemistry. I did both 3/4s in vce, anyone have any recommendations?
Also engineering systems design 2 is only a second semester unit, is ESD2 required for 2nd year eng units or can you get away with doing ESD1?

HELP!
Trying to enroll in my subjects for bsc, i have put five in under the 'level 1' branch and I went to put my sixth subject in under the 'level 1,2,3 branch'... my sixth subject is Mind, Brain and Behaviour 1. I would like to do this semester 2, however the default is for semester 1. I already have my semester 1 subjects and I'm not keen on swapping any around...

How do I fix this problem? Should I just enroll in a different subect for semester 2 and not worry about it since I can't call the Uni and subjects have to be finalised by tonight...

are you sure it's offered in semester 2?

i'm not sure.. how do I find that out?
I thought subjects could be taken up at any time

Is there something wrong with the Sem 1 timetable for this MGMT subject? Hopefully it's a glitch because those times are horrible..

https://sis.unimelb.edu.au/cgi-bin/subjects.pl?scode=MGMT10002&year=2012

Also does anyone know if lectures for 'Principles of Business Law' and 'Managing and Leading Organisations' are available to listen to online? On Tuesdays and Wednesdays I've got only those lectures, so it's tempting to just not go to them..

For some reason the managing and leading organisations is only listing tutes 24 & 25. So there are 23 more options to choose from they're just not listed. Not sure why. The handbook does that a lot.

Business Law doesn't record lectures. The lecturer doesn't like it. He says that since there are no tutes, lectures are your only source of contact and he wants you to attend. It sucks, I know.

Management does record lectures. However, the recording system isn't guaranteed to work 100% of the time. I've had lectures I haven't attended not record properly and I've missed out on that lecture entirely. This goes for all subjects.

I know the timetabling for some first year Commerce classes are staggered so you may not have much choice when timetabling opens tomorrow. If the tutes are full, you'll have to wait till around O-week when they release more tute slots. Probably to give the international students a fair go because they enrol into their course much later

ESD2 is the required one, not ESD1.

No, not all subjects are offered in both semesters. Mind, brain behaviour 1 is only offered in semester 1. https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/view/2012/PSYC10003

ESD2 is the required one, not ESD1.

I was reading some old threads and apparently esd1 you need for chemical, but you need esd2 for the others?

Oh yah I think i remember something like too. Might be a good idea to ask someone official then.

i would like to know this as well :/

[nubs]

also, what's the pre-laboratory activity for each of the physics pracs? It says up to 30 minutes

The way I planned my timetable
I have a lecture from 9-10 on a thursday for maths, then the physics prac from 10-1 afterwards, so I have no time for the pre-lab activity stuff

It's an online quiz you do before the prac, ranging from weeks in advance to on the day. They are to test if you have read the prac manual, include about 3-4 multi choice questions that are very easy and takes like 2 minutes to do.

edit: when I said from weeks in advance to on the day, I meant that you do it in your own time

[nubs]

ohhk, so I can pretty much do them weeks before the actual prac in my own time?
