'There will be more places released on 20-Feb-2012.'
Does anyone know what time more places will be available? I still need to register into some classes.

just a question..which is the best lecture to ditch? In other words, which is the subject where i can simply download the recording online without having to attend..and still be able to pass? (i'm not lazy..it's because of work :P)

biology, chem or calc 1!?

should i stay in calc 1 because it seems as  though recordings will be pointless?

Calc 1 isn't recorded AFAIK, so it might be worth going to that. If I was to choose one of those three to ditch I'd probably ditch bio especially since you've done VCE Bio.

Yeah, definitely go to Calc 1 lectures because they are the most useful and not recorded.  You spend the whole time frantically copying out the lecturers workings.  You also need to go to the tutes to get the tute sheet and answers because they don't post them online.  Tute sheets in Calc 1 are very useful!!!

I've only ever heard minors in relation to Bachelor of Arts, not Science.

Talking like that is the first step in failing a subject and having to repeat it later. You shouldn't be planning to ditch anything before you've even started. I think you shouldn't be skipping any chem lectures; university level chemistry is very difficult, you should be making every effort to learn the content. As for biology, you're looking for the subject that is most 'lectopia-able' if you must skip lectures. So if you must then I'd go for bio cos it's easier to catch up on. But considering you're a first year I wouldn't be skipping anything, the most likely outcome is that you won't listen to the lectures later and then you'll either fail or just scrape a pass. Nothing is worth the fear of not knowing whether you'll have to repeat or not. So I say, don't skip anything.

^ thanks for the insight. It's not that i WANT to miss classes...but i have other commitments, and just want to see whether it was possible to skip some etc etc. But, since more spaces in classes have opened up, i am able to attend them all now. So yeah :P

I'm just wondering what you do in the "problem-based" classes in physics. Do you have to attend them?

Anyone?

https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/view/2012/PHYC10003

"Satisfactory completion of practical work is necessary to pass the subject (i.e. attendance and submission of work for at least 80% of workshop sessions together with a result for assessed work of at least 50%)."

Where does it say problem-based? If you mean the tutes, no you don't have to go. You just work through some problem sheets in a classroom. If you mean pracs, then yes you do have to go.

Thanks in advanced :)

Is it recommended to have a Problem-based before a lecture for Physics 1? I have an opportunity to place a lecture before a problem-based.

I have that for one of my subjects (not the same), my brother just says some aren't up yet, I guess if it's not up before uni starts they'd tell us more about it in our first lecture? :)
