2009 UoM Students

Hmm.. I have had Calculus 2 already confirmed. Changed it to 1st Semester last night, got an email saying I have not met prerequisites =S

What should I do?

[champorado]

Well, have you met them?

This happened to me, but with a second semester subject. I'm doing the prereq for it in semester 1, so it seemed kinda odd. In the auto-generated email, it says something like 'if you feel that your subject selection is correct, do not alter your studies and a [something] will review them as soon as possible'. So yeah, if you don't see anything wrong, just leave it, and then they'll confirm it the following day.

Yep I have.. I guess I should wait...

[Umesh]

yeap it happened to me then approved me :S

yeap it happened to me then approved me :S

I should go down there during O week. Dont want to waste my call credits. Ive like emailed for some info on Physics and they havent replied for soooo long.

[champorado]

My problem was fixed the day after I received the email (well, I got the first email at 12am and the second around 3pm, so around 15 hours). How long ago did you get the email? It should be fixed before week-0.

[Edmund]

Its been at least 30 hours since the first email (the automated) came.

[champorado]

Did your email look like this?

Maybe it takes longer to find students' study scores than it does to realise they're taking the prerequisite in semester 1?

[mark_alec]

Don't worry about it. Give them a few days to sort stuff out.

[Edmund]

Yes it looked like that...

I went there today and took down student ID No. and said she would inform the course adviser. And should be done by Monday...

So what if I move around mt subs again and get the same problem.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[champorado]

Why would you change your subjects again?

[Edmund]

I keep changing my mind

[champorado]

You should make sure first then! :p It's only the ones with prerequisites that are a hassle. The other subject I added went through no problems. The units with internal prerequisites aren't that bad. You won't have to resort to actually going there to fix it, anyway.

What are you planning on doing, and what are you tossing up between, anyway?

[Edmund]

I was thinking of Physics 1, then realised I was eligible for Physics 2 Life Sciences (which Im interested in). Im not sure how much harder it is, both recommend VCE Physics to be done. Ive emailed the Physics department and they can only get back to me next week...

[champorado]

Why don't you do both? Unlike most of the subjects I'm taking, I can actually understand some of the things in the Physics 1 overview.
