I'll just repeat what i posted in the other thread:
Hi all. So someone told me that it was possible to choose subjects accordingly for first years so you make a nicely laid out timetable. Is this true and how would I do it? There isn't an option for me.. only enrolling in subjects o.0
*Also, I've heard you can preference too, when is the deadline for such preferencing?
My post here (
Re: Western Suburbs to Monash Clayton ) might help.
Follow the directions there.
How do you get it on 2 days? You have to be incredibly lucky really.
A lot of subjects (at least in first year) repeat the same lecture 2 or 3 times simply because theres so many students and to try avoid clashes. So, theres where you get some wiggle room to choose. The first chemistry lecture might run three times, monday 8am, tuesday 2pm and tuesday 4pm. They'll all cover the same thing say the periodic table. Then you have the second lecture for the week also repeated 3 times, on wednesday 8am, thursday 3pm and friday 1pm and these will all be repeats on the same lecture on atoms. This is just an example of course but it works like that.
Same with tutorials and labs, they pretty much always run more than one to avoid clashes and to simply fit everyone in.
Look in the handbook for a particular subject, it says you only need to go to one lab and 3 lectures a week for example. So, you'd simply tick only one lab in mutts and 3 lectures (make sure they're seperate lectures and not repeats).
MUTTS is simply there to help you figure out a prospective timetable and to play around. Your actual preferences don't go in untill a while later and these go into something called allocate +. Hopefully i didnt confuse you too much..
