2012 Semester One Timetable Thread

yaya biology finally works!!!!!

i'm just wondering when we are doing pracs, do we have write our report/findings on loose leaf?? so that we can submit it to the teacher or can we use a notebook

You can't use a notebook.  You will need to buy a prac manual from the bookshop for like 25 dollars.  You only need to hand in one prac, the rest are usually assessed in class but there is working space within the prac manual that you will need to use to take notes.

^ That's for biol, in chem you will need one of those books that copies down what you write on a page you save, also found at the bookshop!  I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT THEY ARE CALLED.  And for physics you use a physics manual thing that stays in the lab for the entirety of the semester.  And for psychology, your labs aren't real labs so you don't do reports.

wow thanks for that! saved me from going out and getting a notebook for prac and that chemistry book thingo sounds expensive!

btw do you use binders/folders to organise all the printouts the lecturer gives you? oh and should i keep separate notebooks for lectures and  tutorials??

Thanks

Is it just me or is the uni email not working either?

works for me, i've just logged in

Still can't log in unfortunately - so I tried logging in through the LMS link and it says 'no subjects enrolled'. Should I start panicking? I've registered into all my classes already, why isn't it listed on LMS?

Nah it's like five dollars, it should be on the booklist for the subject (maybe) BUT THE NAME EVADES ME...
Well it depends on whether you'll be printing the notes, I only printed them for Physics and Chemistry and used my laptop to take notes for everything else.
I had one five subject notebook and that seemed to be enough, but probably because I was using a computer for some of my work.  It's up to you - I think it would be annoying to carry around big binders all the time, but if you're not using a computer you might opt for a notebook per subject so you won't run out of pages

I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER someone was linking to codes a while ago.

speaking of pracs/ LABS/ reports in biology/chem/physics....

do we SERIOUSLY do these for science...almost like we did in VCE? i get that it will be more in depth, but if our main coursework for the science subjects predominately going to be centred around prac reports...writing about your findings...and drawing up conclusions? :O :O :O

[simpak]

Sometimes but I never did that in VCE so I can't comment to a great extent.

Chem pracs are pretty much like VCE, you mix chemicals, filter stuff...and write lab reports. Physics pracs you sit at a desk and play with toys. Biology pracs are very organised and you do a range of things from drawing stuff to dissecting animals...I think. Pracs are examinable mostly, but are usually not examined very much from experience. The coursework thus 'revolves' around the lectures if you ask me.

NOOO!!! i suck at/ hate lab reports it will get me nowhere in life. are these reports kind of like what we do in vce? observe your experiments....get your results...explain/evaluate them?
