Hey!!
I did MUSI20150 I am planning on writing a review on it soon (just been rrly busy these holidays) but if you have any questions feel free to pm me!
Its a great subject but its had alot of changes so all the old reviews are actually out-dated so im hoping to post a review soon!!
The assessment is really chill with only 2 contact hours (WHICH U DON'T HAVE TO ACTUALLY GO TO- and trust me for a biomed student with 20+ contact hours this was a blessing) its a good subject, with minimal effort I scored a H1, but that does not mean it's an easy H1 defs have to make sure you don't leave the final essay last minute!
Otherwise, I'll be posting a comprehensive review so hopefully, that helps everyone out!
Best of luck with ur future studies!

It's Wednesday, and I really wanted to type my uni experiences somewhere and I figured out that I had this journal (been receiving shit from my Monash friend LOL, he's still in holidays though)

While I'm writing this, I will most definitely fuck up my honorifics whilst referring to my lecturers (I know that calling someone Doctor, Professor is a major thing), so please do not judge me too hard.

Just finished my second day of Uni (first day Monday, then ABSOLUTELY nothing on Tuesday :)) ). Everything before today has been introductory lectures (and my COMP10001 class still an introductory lecture to an extent), but now I can really feel the work pressure kicking in.

AM1 (MAST10008) is definitely the subject that I'm most hyped to be starting (although after doing a bit of Grok, COMP10001 is catching up in being fun), as I've done a bit of Uni linear algebra in Year 12. The atmosphere in AM1 lectures is very "professional" if you'd call it that? Our lecturer, Alexandru Ghitza, honestly looks like he's had 5 hours of collective sleep over the entire year, but I can see that he's incredibly knowledged, charismatic and experienced. Given the things I've heard about him, I'm excited to spend the next semester under his care for my introduction to Unimaths and I hope that his teachings will keep my passion going on.

Speaking of great lecturers, I really cannot skip out on COMP10001's one and only, Tim Baldwin. His enthusiasm is contagious and I really hope that this continues to spark my love for programming throughout the Semester. It was really sad to see him get down when everyone started packing their stuff early when he was finishing up, but like Mr Ghitza, I'm happy that he's the one taking care of what will be a foundation subject in my MAJOR. Perhaps I can say that his enthusiasm is a powerful one-line statement in the program that's my degree? (thank god for grok)

That leaves Mind, Brain and Behaviour 1, and Critical Thinking With Data. Both of these subjects have been very promising so far, with Associate Professor Meredith bringing in a dog to spice up the lecture (she was talking about it a bit though, but I couldn't hear much). I'm honestly very excited for Psych, as I enjoyed it in VCE. With Ms Julia for CTWD, I've heard many great things about her as a tutor, but with the head lecturers for CTWD getting swapped out every year it seems (different lecturer last year), I'm not too sure, but from my observations she's making a fantastic effort to make it enjoyable, and as this subject compliments my degree (to an extent), I'm excited to follow it thorugh and see what comes out of it.

The campus is SOO big, but only my second day and I"m actually getting quite used to everything now (I just have directions relative to the MSD). Even though Tutorials haven't started yet, I'm still talking to a lot of people and a lot of my old school seems to be going Unimelb.

Probably should have posted that when my first week was over, but starting uni was very exciting and I'd like to get this out of my system to not have it distract me during studying, lol.

also hhhhh not going foam and glow lul
