It is inevitable that this thread be made.

What is everyone doing on AAD?

There are so many different  info sessions to attend, and the BBQ at lunchtime also looks like a must!

List out the sessions you are planning on going to. Maybe you will have some VN acquaintances joining you!

I will try to attend
-Biomed info sesh
-Criminology (Arts)
-Linguistics & Applied Linguistics (Arts)
-Psychology (Breadth)
-Critical Thinking with Data (UniBreadth)
-Logic: Language and Information (UniBreadth)
-Medical Sequence (UniBreadth)
-Seeing the Whole Picture (UniBreadth)

I am too lazy/tired to work out the times atm. 

I'm particularly looking forward to meeting mr. andrewloppol haha.  He should be very easy to spot.  :P

You probably won't end up going to all those sessions. If you're anything like me you'll get a few down then bail cause they were pretty damn boring

I'll attempt to sit through the science subject ones: bio, chem, maths - hooray for having a different surname to other people I know who are doing science.

Then bbq, aw yeah free food and off to psych, science expo and whatever else I can fit in and be bothered attending.

I am in the opposite situation. I'm an Arts student with friends who do commerce, science, and environments. Good fun.

Anywho, I'll do the Arts info sessions, economics, politics and probably anthropology and social theory.
2009- National Politics (43) Methods (38)
2010- Economics (50) English (44) Literature (38) Introductory Microeconomcis (86) Introductory Macroeconomics (75)

At the end of the day, if you don't go to a session you haven't missed much. You can always email the subject coordinator, who will be desperate for students to take his/her subject and get them to send you info/the course syllabus etc

For those people wishing to attend course information sessions for the popular science subjects such as Chem and Bio:

Tip:  Get there early to either get a seat or at least stand in a place where you can hear the coordinator well.

Also, I found the Chemistry 1 info session very useful.  :)

Bachelor of Science (Mathematics & Statistics) - Discrete Mathematics & Operations Research
