Mavisgibbons considers life options part IV: the (anti)climax.

[simpak]

Part 6000 in the saga:  Mavisgibbons sends a verging-on-d-&-m email to core subject tutor.
Thirty seconds after pressing the button, regrets it.

[rustic_metal]

The last time I tried to send an email to a university staff member it was to ask about getting a pre-requisite waiver for a second year subject.

I received an email back a week later with a prerequisite waiver for masters.

Err...thanks?

[simpak]

I love sending emails to staff.
"Hey I hated this subject, just wanted to ask you if you think I should continue with the course".
Oh yeah you have to mark my 6500 word folio in a week, hope you won't be thinking about how much I hated your teaching then.

FAIL.

[simpak]

BEE TEE DUBS what is the chance of my transfer failing considering my course is like, 95 ENTER and Science is what?  89? and I have a straight H1 average, weighted at 86%?
And I have done all VCE Re-reqs.

In fact, while we're on that...

For things like Chemistry, with 'Year 12 Chemistry' required, because I am NY12 DOES MY YEAR 12 CHEM STOP COUNTING?

In fact, while we're on THAT...

Do the majority of non physics/chem/maths related majors with pre-requisites pretty much just require Biol and Chem first year?

The chance of your transfer failing is probably very low given that.

As for year 12 pre-reqs, it's usually just a quick way to tick off that you've got enough knowledge to get stuck into the subjects, so just showing them you've done year 12 chem at some point will be fine. I've got out of year 12 pre-reqs before, anyway; they're not strict.

[Russ]

And I can't think of any courses that have bio as a must have. Plenty with chem though, so you only need one.

But yeah, your transfer will go through fine with that average

Are you allowed to double major in a BSc?

Are you allowed to double major in a BSc?

Nope.

[Gloamglozer]

Yeah, the EPSC are really reliable and good with responding to emails.

Hmph, not for everyone.

Contacted them Monday, received a reply email on friday...stating that my email had been forwarded to a supervisor who would contact me eventually.

I managed to sort my issue out myself by talking to my head of department but still...

Hmm, maybe I should rephrase myself and say for "general enquiries" so that the first person reading the email can respond to without forwarding your enquiry to someone else.  Subject waivers will obviously take a little longer since they are assessed on a personal basis.

Are you allowed to double major in a BSc?

Nope.

Yep.  With the core and breadth program, the degree is already jam packed as it is for some people.

Double major in computer science and mathematics and statistics (http://www.unimelb.edu.au/HB/areas/SCOMSCI.html and http://www.unimelb.edu.au/HB/areas/SMATH.html)

Completion of the following subjects will lead to a major in computer science and a separate major in mathematics and statistics with a specialisation in discrete mathematics. Both Departments have endorsed the following recommend subject sequence.

First year

620-142 Mathematics B (or advanced version 620-122)

620-143 Applied Mathematics (or advanced version 620-123)

620-131 Scientific Programming and Simulation

Plus two additional subjects

Second year

433-252 Software Engineering Principles and Tools

433-253 Algorithms and Data Structures

433-254 Software Design

433-255 Logic and Computation

620-381 Computational Mathematics

Plus one other 300-level Mathematics and Statistics subject and one other 300-level Computer Science subject. Suggestions include 620-361, 620-351, 620-362, 620-374, 433-380, 433-361.

Maybe it's an exception?

I just wanted to know about the problems with the IT system

Maybe it's an exception?

No, you're looking at a site from before the melbourne model was implemented. Check the 2011 handbook - if that doesn't say you can do it, then you can't do it.

[simpak]

I was gonna say...
SO MANY SUBJECTS.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

You can't technically register two majors, but it is possible for some people to complete all of the required subjects for two majors.

Physio and anatomy majors need 2 semesters of Biol. If you are after health science majors or want to complete the MD pre-reqs, you need 2xBiol and 2xChem
