subject clash

[tram]

Hi guys,

I have a subject clash and am unable to do anything for it as both lectures only have one time. I only just found about this now as the music faculty have just released their timetable. On Tuesday morning i have a vector calculus lecture from nine till ten. On tuesday morning i also have a music psychology lecture from nine till eleven.

Do you guys think i should

1) Change out of music psychology

2) Only go to the second half of the music psychology lecture and pray that the lectures are on lectopedia

3) Not go to the vector calculus lecture

advice would be greatly appreciated

isnt music psychology recorded? i think he has been for however it has been ran for?

also, in VC, its just copying down notes. you can just copy your friends. its pretty easy.

and if your music lectures are not recorded, and you don't like the idea of skipping VC, find a replacement breadth!

(i just had a look who was lecturing/in charge of VC, its omar foda - worst lecturer in the world. he just writes a whole heap of explanations on he's slides. what he usually talks about 'out loud' is pretty useless... i had him for eng maths)

Call up and speak to the lecturers for both now (or tomorrow) and find out which ones are recorded, if only ones recorded, then you know which one you'll have to go to.

Hmmm if i miss vector calculus i know i have a friend doing the subject who i can copy off

HOWEVER

music psychology seems to be recorded by all accounts (i'll confirm this tmrw) and according to gloamglozer pretty much no maths lectures are recorded....



Mabys i'll just miss half of the music psychology lecture for now and then see how it goes from there....

Step back a second and think about why you're taking music psychology.
90% chance because you wanted a 'fun' and 'easy' breadth.
So miss that one and go to the one you actually care about.

Find a friend who you can copy the VC notes off, then go to music. If you can't find anybody, PM me and I'll tell you where you can find the full notes.

hmmmmm good point (although i also chose it cos i need to do it for the diploma of music which i'm hoping to get into)

Hmmmm thanks for all the input so far guys, i've got a lot to concider and people have all made good points:)

also rustic, would you mind sending me those full notes anyway? i'd like to have a look at the course

They're not in soft copy; they're in hard copy stashed somewhere at uni.

Yeah, that's unfortunately true.  But apparently, I heard that because of the lack of Lectopia and the lack of notes, the fail rate for maths subjects in general aren't as high as they should be...

Haha oh, sorry for making that assumption then, I just know a lot of people who have taken it/are taking it because they think it's the best of a variety of poor options and the assessment is easy.
But yeah, when I had a clash last year it was basically based on resources.  Only one of them was recorded, so even though I cared about the other subject more I was forced to go to the one that wasn't recorded (it also didn't have slides on the LMS, a nightmare).
But my other subject, luckily, even had video capture rather than just audio so I could watch the slides play along with the lecturer speaking.
It was quite handy.

So maybe base it off resources.  If they're both recorded I would go to Vector Calc first week (its lecture is likely to be more intensive than what the first week of Music Psych would be) and then Music Psych the second week and base your decision on which was hardest to catch up for   Or you could always alternate.
