Hi, I was just wondering how allocate+ and just timetabling works if you are undertaking undergrad med at monash? When I log into allocate+, it says everything is 'off' so I'm not exactly sure what that means.

Thank you!

As far as I'm aware, med has a rigid timetable that is made for you - you don't get any choice in when things are

Can someone please tell me whether two labs in one day is a good idea? This is on top of another workshop during the day. And is a 10-6 day draining or do people find it doable? MOD EDIT: Everything in this post below this line of text and Aaron's response in the following post has been merged from the Ask Monash thread, as it was in the wrong location.

Hey guys!!!

What are workshops? Are they different to tutorials? And would you suggest against doing two laboratories in one day?

THANKSYOUUU

Aaron:
Hi. Workshops are just like tutorials - they have a different name but their makeup is very similar...

Lectures are huge where all students come together to listen to a prepared lecture.
Tutorials/workshops/labs - usually 1-3 hours in duration depending on unit where you have a demonstrator/associate running the class.. its smaller (think of a standard school classroom size). These are where you apply what you have learnt in the lectures... pre-reading etc. may be required for these.

Two labs in one day sounds fine. Many people do it. I would highly recommend leaving a 1 hour gap in between though as if you do say 6 hours in a row, it isn't good for your concentration etc. :) Believe me.. I know.

I used to do 9am-5pm in a row with no break (to minimise amount of days at uni) and it was brutal but a necessary sacrifice to ensure i had 2-3 days off a week. :)

Keeping in mind too that unlike school where there are pre-defined lunch/recess periods, you have to take this into account yourself and plan your timetable.
