Adding subjects that aren't showing/Physics Chatter

[vexx]

Hi,

In the study planner in the portal, when I try and add subjects in the right place (ie level 2-3 breadth searching 'music psychology' or level 1-3 breadth searching 'creative writing') the subjects I'm looking at don't come up, it's as if you can't add them anymore? I spoke to the music psychology coordinator and according to her it's not too late to do the subject, so why can't i add?

Vexx

(ps, physics is HELL) :p

When did the music psych lady say that, because afaik the cutoff to add subjects was the end of week 2.
You can get the EPSC to do it tomorrow though

oh ok well she emailed me tonight. i guess i'll go down tomorrow though, have to decide subject first!

Physics is fun, don't change from it!

if only i found it fun:( i find it so horribly boring, i can't take it anymore haha

First year physics is a pain in the arse.

Physics is killing me right now I don't even know what a vector is (nobody explain it k, that was a bit of an exaggeration).
BUT DON'T LEEEAAAVEEEE.  The test is on next Friday, you gotta be there for that.

fundamentals? did it get better after the first 2 weeks?
the long problem-solving equations to me are so painful with all the equations, its not that hard - i just hate maths :\

haha goodluck for that test, gladly i wont be there to do it. moving to music psych probs with its single essay and few questions per week assessment much better

): I'm so scared.
The lecturer is awful.  At least for me.  I've compiled a mental selection of awesome quotes, beginning and not limited to "How many of you have done vectors before?  A little under half of you?  Well if you haven't done them before you can learn them in your own time, I'm not going to go through them now".

Do we need to know how to prove the ridiculous monkey/dart thing or is knowing that vertical and horizontal motion are independent for projectile motion enough?  Because I remember veeerrryyy little from trigonometry.

hahah
/agreed that monkey thing IS ridiculous, im sure you do need to know how to do that entire thing and i can imagine the exam having a question similar to it.. but i dont know cos im DROPPING IT
YAAAAAAY :3

I thought Fundamentals was meant to be Simpak friendly.

[Blakhitman]

well I don't know about fundamentals but seeing as it should be like year 12 physics, then you should be able to use trig to calculate the components of velocity.

But yea remember that horizontal velocity is constant throughout the motion since no force is acting on the projectile horizontally (ignoring air resistance) and the vertical is being acted on by gravity downwards (constant acceleration).

Physics is the best man, it's also beautiful.

beautiful? good sir, i beg to differ..

Just make sure you're dropping it because you don't like physics, not because you don't like the maths or the course is hard. University is your chance to learn what you're interested in, regardless of difficulty.

Physics was enjoyable, it was just the 5pm lectures ruined it for me
