Is it okay if I miss one calc 2 lecture a week? Handbook doesn't list any requirements, and I can just work harder on my own yeah?
It's the only way I can get both Tuesday and Thursday off. :D

Edit:
If I had to clash one lecture a week.. should i choose to have the clash with Foundations of Computing, or Calc 2?
I.e, Which is better to skip?
The handbook doesn't give any sign of an attendance requirement, I should be okay with that yeah? :)

I don't think calc 2 has lecture recordings, but sure you can skip all of them if you want. There are no attendance requirements. No idea about computing though.

For Accelerated Mathematics 2, the timetable changed in the past few days!!!!

It use to be 11-12 every day except friday but now it's 3:15-4:15 everyday except monday. I told my manager that I was available past 3 for the entire year but well it isn't the case anymore since unimelb decides to be extremely inconsistent.

Do you think 3:15-4:15 is the final time for the lectures? Are lectures compulsory for accelerated mathematics 2? I know it doesn't have online lectures on lectopia so I would like to go to them but apparently for maths it's mainly self study? I really don't know any more. Might lose my job...

I wouldn't recommend skipping accelerated maths lectures. There is a lot of material and unless you are exceptional, learning it on your own will be challenge. Timetables change, and it is best to let your work know that you can't commit to anything until they are confirmed.

^^ Timetables are pretty much subject to change until timetabling happens so yeah, that can happen.

^ I still skipped :P

If you skip AM2 lectures you will fail miserably*

Just in case I change my mind...how hard would it be to do two prac subjects in semester 2 alongside biomed core HSF?

I am already enrolled in Microbes, Infections and Responses...however if I want to keep biochem open, then I'll need Techniques as well?

Is it too much for one semester?

Well for a start you don't want to do biochem, but it'd be pretty shitty. Micro is weekly tutes, Techniques is as well afaik. When they overlap reports or whatever it'll be kinda a rush given that HSF is the most full on of the biomed cores. I took Creative Writing in sem2 of year2 and it was pretty great to only have to deal with 2 subjects...especially in exam time with the 2 exams for HSF

Thanks.  Yeah, at this point biochem is unlikely so it shouldn't be an issue.  Just wanted to make sure though. :)

Am I allowed to take two subjects over the summer semester if clashes don't exist next year?
I'd really like to lessen my work load for the overall year by just working a little harder at the start. :P

Also, a lot of breath subjects are designed in 'tracks'. I am not expected to fully complete them am I? That is, I can pick and choose the subjects i like from various breath tracks assuming I meet the prereqs for higher level ones? :P

Thank you.
