enrol

[costargh]

Don't worry that the classes are gonna fill up if you dont enrol ur subs and allocate them early. The system isn't first in best dressed. It allocates automatically acccording to preferences, not who enrolled first. So in that respect dont stress out too much if you can't enroll ur subs yet.

Yeh but i just want to know WHY it's saying that, especially if others have been able to pick their subjects.

i'm just wondering, because i understand that students that have electives to pick, want to enrol their units as soon as possible. i've got pharmacy at monash and by the looks of it, i've got set units. four per semester. don't know if i should be enrolling now or not. also, my info session is on the same day as enrolment... so should i wait until the day to do it, or should i just click 'enrol enrol enrol' for the units listed there?

thanks for the help and oh, hope you guys all got what you wanted

all my units are set, but it wont let me enrol in two cos i didnt meet the prerequesites? wtf?

[icedark]

quite possibly the 'dumbest' question here.. on wes do we have to enrol in both semester 1 and 2 subjects now? or just semester 1?

[costargh]

Both sem1 and 2. But you can change sem2 later on

strange...

It let me enrol in second year units fine [because of enhancement], when I was told by the admin lady it wasn't going to let me.

how should we allocate our timetable? should we always out tutes after labs?

I think that is the what you should aim for but as is the nature of your course this may not always be possible. Say for example, most of my lectures start at 2pm so I don't want to start a tute at 4pm.

Even the next morning would be good I think. You can go home and study and whatnot.

[shonakennedy]

sweet thanks. how about this.... is it better to squash as many classes as possible into one day... or spread them out over say 4 days?

[costargh]

How many contact hours do you have. That will determine what sorta spread you should have. I have 12 contact hours so I am doing it over 3 days although I could have done it over to (including one night where a lecture started at 6pm!)

[shonakennedy]

i have 16 contact hours. 9 of which are auto allocated across 4 days. :S what should i do?

[costargh]

If you have to go four days anyway and you're one of the people like me who doesnt see the point in going in to uni for 2 hours and leaving, then I'd try have a nice even spread across the 4 days.
However if you have a part time job and want to have better availability for work then you may want to load up on 2-3 of the days and just have the auto allocated units on 1-2 of the days so you can go to work/do other things that don't involve University.

From the perspective of what's probably best for your education I'd say try have a nice even spread so you can take in whats said in lectures etc. Also, depending on how good you are at studying (edit: this is meant to mean, how good you are at studying without getting distracted at home by other things) you might want to consider having some 1 hour breaks each day to study in the library. (I've heard many Uni students say that that's where they get most of their work done. Depends on the individual though obviously.)

Also, I've been advised to try put allocate in some breaks for lunch etc.

your beautiful costa. ily. thank you

[costargh]

Lol how romantic.

Remember though that it's my first year too! (how scary!)

But I've been getting advice from other people which is what I base my advice to you on.
