How neccesary is it to attend all lecture?
schmalex:
Thanks:) Well I'm still going to be attending at least 2\3 of my classes so I'm pretty confident I'll be ok now, especially since it's a really popular subject so it shouldn't be too difficult to find the righ resources. Thanks :)
ps. how far are you from UoM? How long did it take you to commute, because that's my main worry

Some put up the whole week's slides on the weekend before the lectures, some put it 1 hour before the lectures and some put them days after the actual lecture :P
For some subjects, they have a bound book with the whole semester's lecture slides in it.

how many lecturers at uom are lazy enough to have it up after the lecture?
like just 1 or 2 or a lot?

To be quite honest. I have no idea.
For the lecturers I've had so far, we usually have the slides before hand because we have to annotate them.

It took me about 30 mins to get to UoM from my school and around 40 mins back to my suburb.

I've heard people say that since lectures are podcasted, it's not entirely neccesary to attend all of them. Do you think I'd be able to do the whole program rarely attending one of the streams of lectures?

With uni I attended probably 95% of my lectures since you get to make friends and it's just easier to go instead of downloading podcasts. Thursdays in second semester of uni I had physics pracs and a finance lecture, weeks that physics pracs weren't on, meant I would not go and just listen to the podcast, but sometimes I would get lazy or had other work to do and I never listened to the podcast.
Don't become some recluse who rarely attends uni as you won't enjoy uni.

I think attending class in first year is more important for the friends bit. I rarely bother going to class, especially if there are lecture notes available online (in fact right now I'm skipping two weeks of class by going travelling around Europe instead ;) ).
