2012 Semester One Timetable Thread

[99.96]

During the Chinese info sesh at Academic Advice Day, the guy told us about the 4 streams for chinese. Non-chinese/no vce, non-chinese/did vce chinese, chinese, crazy chinese (fobs)
He told us that this year, the enrolling process is different because you can do your enrolling and timetabling before your interview so he told us to enrol into what stream we think we'll get into and then do timetabling but still have to go to the interview. I guess they changed it so you can't enrol into chinese now since they're scared that heaps of people will enrol into the wrong stream (i know so many that enrolled into chinese post-vce when they should be doing chinese 7 since they are chinese themselves).

Also my eco tute is fixed now

Out of interest... How did you change that eco tute into where you want it?
I did the auto-clash-free-timetable but its in a spot id prefer to change...

used a mac...

surely having a pc or a mac wont effect enrolment, i think you just got lucky

I've heard that for Introductory Microeconomics, they've experienced "over-enrolment" where a lot more students enrolled in the subject than anticipated, so they've had to have "emergency meetings" to alleviate the crisis.

Thats a rather strange thing for the universtity to say, because

Introductory Microeconomics
Introductory Macroeconomics

are BOTH compulsory Level 1 subjects for ALL BCom students and the Handbook lists the former as a pre-requisite of the latter.
To me this can only mean that ALL BCom students will enrol for Micro in Semester 1 and Macro in Semester 2.

How can the Uni claim an over-enrolment surprise? All they had to do was count the number of 1st year admissions

^^^
Until they're 5 hour pracs, quit complaining

Also you can skip every GHS lecture (I know you won't, but you can)

Oh god...5 hours sounds terrible.  But then again, if you are actually doing something good then I guess it could be alright.

And yeah, will probably skip the first month of GHS lectures and take advantage of South Lawn whilst the weather is still good haha.

No, not really.  There are people doing it as breadth.  And those people are not all first year students.  I know a few friends (3rd year students) who have enrolled in the subject and are doing it in semester 1 this year.

Very true, I forgot about that.

For a moment I thought that the (ac)COUNTING at UoM was poor and I was ready to transfer to Monash

UM. question? Which subject should i best go to? Chem..maths..bio...or jap?

[Panicmode]

Yeah.. my time table.

'Spose it's not to bad, just wish it wasn't so spread out. And before you ask, there is only one time slot for the BIOL1002 lectures and that's at the beginning of the friggen day ._. If worst comes to worst I can always skip that lecture ( and the two following it ;]) and rock up at 1 on a Monday.


At least I get Thursday off =D

You have some long Mondays ahead of you

Inorite ._. ahh well, c'est la vie.

Lectures you can either lectopia or go to a later stream. Only exception would be Calculus 1 where you will copy down notes during the lecture. Usually the first year maths lecture streams have different lecturers so the speed they are covering the course is not completely in sync (usually). If you have a friend in your usual stream you can copy off them the notes for the Friday lecture. Or you could try going to a later stream and then sort of fill in the gaps you have in your notes (which you will purchase in the first week from the bookstore).

Happy with my timetable. I get lunch free all week, afternoon breaks and the earliest I start is 10 AM on Friday for one hour all day. Also, on campus which means I can meander back and forth. Latest is 5:15 on Mondays. Still back to college for dinner though!

I still can't register for any of my biol lectures, tutorials and pracs
every time I save I get application error, even when I press cancel I get an application error
I've been told to go to the EPSC and get it done there

does anyone else have this problem?

its the same with microeconomics, wait it out

[yearningforsimplicity]

I've been looking at the UniMelb map and can find no building numbered "100" on Leicester St :S Is it a new building or something??

That's what you're looking for. It's a fair walk off campus.

[Aurelian]

it's just that everyone else I've spoken to says it's fine, but I've been trying since 10am yesterday and all I get is an application error

Don't worry; I'm getting the same thing for bio and so are a number of my friends. I'm just waiting for a couple of days, and if it *still* isn't working then I'll contact the uni. From what I've heard, they've just told the people who have rung to wait anyways.

Guise! I got a spot in ESD1 workshop Tuesday 9am-12pm THANK YOU to whoever left the class!
