UoM subject choice thread 2015

[Stick]

Following on from this thread last year, I thought it might be a good idea to do the same this year. I don't know about the rest of you, but I thought that having people list out their subjects was actually quite helpful as a reference as it allowed me to look out for their comments about those subjects around the forum and gain their opinions on doing them.

So, this is what I'm intending on doing this year:

Semester 1
- BIOM20001 Molecular and Cellular Biomedicine
- GENE20001 Principles of Genetics
- UNIB20007 Genetics, Health and Society

Semester 2
- BIOM20002 Human Structure and Function
- MIIM20002 Microbes, Infections and Responses *
- UNIB30004 Sex, Science and the Community *

* Subject to change:

If something else other than microbiology and immunology takes my fancy in BIOM20001, I'll try to replace UNIB30004 with a related selective subject. If I don't like microbiology and immunology in BIOM20001, I'll most likely replace MIIM20002 with PHRM20001 Pharmacology: How Drugs Work. If I like microbiology and immunology but I'm not completely sold on it, I'll most likely replace UNIB30004 with PHRM20001 just to keep my options as open as possible.

Enough about me, what are you intending to do?

Semester One:

CHEM30016, Reactivity and Mechanism
CHEM30015, Advanced Practical Chemistry
PHYC20009, Thermal and Classical Physics
PHYC20010, Quantum Mechanics and Special Relativity
MAST20009, Vector Calculus

Semester Two: (if exchange application completely fails)
CHEM30014, Specialised Topics in Chemistry B
MAST20030, Differential Equations
PHYC20011, Electromagnetism and Optics
CHEM30012, Analytical and Environmental Chemistry

Not sure on a fifth subject to do, but probably MAST30021, Complex Analysis

[daphaneng]

Semester 1 (last semester woo!):

ECOL30007 Marine Ecosystems: Ecology and Management
GEOM30009 Imaging the Environment
GEOG30019 Sustainable Developments

Marine's the last of my zoology core subjects (thank goodness), and the other 2 are just filler subjects. My options for other level 3 science subjects are rather limited because I don't have the pre-reqs down, plus really don't want to do anymore zoology subjects (because you know, I've had enough).

Semester one:

BCMB30002 Functional Genomics and Bioinformatics
BIOM30002 Molecule to Malady
PHRM30008 Drugs: From Discovery to Market

Semester two:

BCMB30001 Protein Structure and Function
BCMB30010 Advanced Techniques in Molecular Science
BIOM30001 Frontiers in Biomedicine

Ooh, I did Sex Science last semester. It's was okay, there were some parts that were very Artsy and some very sciency parts (they call it breadth for a reason right?). Can be very dry (pun not intended), but really easy to do well in and you get Geoff Shaw as a lecturer which is a win.

Are you overloading again?! For a whole year?! What the hell

Noooo, don't bail on MIIM!

If I end up going on exchange, I won't be overloading sem 2. But sem 1, I'm definitely doing 5 subjects. I mean, I got out of last sem with a 89 average, including rote-learn heavy subjects biochem and bio, so surely I'll do better this sem without them.

Noooo, don't bail on MIIM!

I think I'll like immunology - if I'm put off it will most likely be due to microbiology.

It's taught very well. It's still ultimately dry memory stuff like the rest of undergrad, but it's generally not thaaaat bad.
