Monash 2014 Jaffy Tips & Questions Thread

[DoctorWho]

This is probably a really stupid question, but how do you know where your lectures ARE? Is it just written on your timetable or what...?

This is probably a really stupid question, but how do you know where your lectures ARE? Is it just written on your timetable or what...?

When you have a look at your timetable it should say this

ATS2340_CL_S1_DAY
Lecture, 01
CL_24/S6
3/3-14/4, 28/4-26/5


The numbers underneath llecture 1 is the room. So Cl is clayton campus, the number after that eg. 24, is the building and the letters/numbers after that is the room. So my lecture for this subject is in building 24 room S6.

I suggest downloading the monash app which has an interactive map on it to help you get around.

Heads up: the '4' in 477 means that the room is on the 4th floor of Building B

Ohhh, so Building B, Floor 4, Room 77. Sweet, thanks!

ENG1091 not showing in moodle.
Also what are support classes ?
What do you do in support class ? Is it like tutorial?

The room is still probably called 477, but you've got the idea!

My maths unit still isn't up either (MTH3051, run by the same faculty as ENG1091 even though it's an eng unit), with that being said I know others who have other maths units up. I'm hoping the lecturer has just forgot to click the button to show it, but have a feeling it could be a part of the industrial action that NTEU were going to take regarding moodle. We'll see in time.

Although, the lecturer I have for MTH3051 puts stuff on the server or w.e. that monash gives him as well as putting it on moodle, which means that I'm able to get last years material for that unit, ENG1091 is another unit that he must run or take part in, which is up as well. So if it is a result of industrial action you can resort to here http://users.monash.edu/~leo/moodle/ (for the time being, and remember it's last years stuff so assignments and such will be different, just if you wanted to have a look at the lecture notes a bit earlier).

EDIT: Should say that the link has stuff for ENG1091, MTH1030, MTH1035 and MTH3051.

How would you read this?

[achre]

Is there a way to glean who your tutor/lecturer is from your timetable?

Yep, looks right to me! The template for reading timetable entries is:

Unit_Campus_Semester_(Day/Night/Off-campus)
Class type Stream, Campus_Building/Room
Dates

[duhherro]

btw can you change your units for semester 2 when the new semester comes?

[alondouek]

btw can you change your units for semester 2 when the new semester comes?

Yep! There is an identical "grace period" in which you can change units before a certain date in semester 2. I think you might even be able to change your semester 2 units now (i.e. before the semester 1 deadline) through WES.

[slothpomba]

btw can you change your units for semester 2 when the new semester comes?

You can even change it now if you wanted to. Like semester 1, you're able to change your units up until (roughly, dont rely on this!) two weeks into semester, plenty of time. You could even change your units now or next week if you wanted to for this semester. The date for dropping them is much later than the date for picking up new ones. So, after this period you can still drop units but you cant replace them/swap into new ones.
