15 credit points (1 Viewer)

[Toby]

What happens if we want to do 15 credit points in the first/second semester?
E.g. First Semester:
ACST151
ECON110
STAT171
COMP115
ACST101
OR
Second Semster: (the recommended timetable)
ACST101
ACST211
ACCG105
ECON111
MATH133

Also, 15 credit points (with the added ACST101) in first semester doesnt sound good, seems to be too much work (or in the second with all those maths units)
Which one should I choose?

 

[Majesty]

I assume you're in Acturial Studies, in that case you just enrol
As for which semester to do it in, flyin' or one of the other Acturial students would probably provide better advice.

P.S. I would do it in Semester 1 though.

 

[ND]

Yep, both flyin' and -=MLhtʻ=- recommended doing it 1st sem. That's what i'll be doing.

 

[Toby]

oo okie, thanks
that means 20 hours of uni/week PLUS heaps of travel time
boo for me

I thought there was a 14cp limit though?

There is, but Acturial Students are the closest thing to god supposedly, hence they're allowed to do more than 14 without approval.

 

[Toby]

Cool
Not sure about that closest thing to god though
But yea, these people are crazy... 97+ people, god save me...
too much competition

 

[Majesty]

Yeah the effort they put in is remarkable.

what do they judge you on if you wish to do 14+ CP's? and you dont do actuarials?

Your grade point average, and your proposed timetable for that semester that you want to do more than 14 credit points. I should get approval for doing 15 cp cos i get almost 2 days off.

 

[Rahul]

oh ok. so no one, except actuarial students would have 14+ CPs in 1st semester.

also, can you change your second semester timetable later on during your first semester?

 

[Majesty]

1. Pretty much
2. Yep you can even change it in the mid year break right upto and including the first week of Semester 2.

hang on...i worked out for my 2nd semester i have 15cp....but if i cut it down to 14cp i have to be at uni from 9-6pm on one day rather than having a third day to spread things over....

u reckon that'd be ok??

 

[Majesty]

You can't do more than 14 credit points in any given semester without academic approval. Since this is referring to your second semester subjects, they wont give you approval until second semester because they have to see if you did well enough in Semester 1.

fuck! i have no idea wat i'm doing...i better stop bothering with this timetable cos i'm only wasting time! i'll just ask advice on the 5th when i go to the stupid information meeting......

It doesn't exactly take a genius to work it out But anyway wait till the 5th i suppose.

Leanne - have you used the net timetable maker?
http://www.timetables.mq.edu.au/class/2004/ttmaker/student.asp
then you mark off your core subjects, and the lectures which are not repeated

then you choose electives and fit them in


i have made about 8 timetables, with different electives, and have finally settled on one.

 

[Leanne]

majesty- well apparently i'm not a fucking genius like some!

iambored- i'm now not sure that the subjects i've chosen are even correct...is it true that i cant do any 200, 300 level subjects, even if there doesnt seem to be any prerequisites?

 

[iambored]

i think someone told you in another thread to look at the red section of the handbook so do that, i just don't want to repeat what they said. that will tell you your prerequisites, core subjects, etc.

if there aren't any prerequisites for 200 and 300 level subjects then you can do them

*Sigh*, like i said it's not that difficult. How about you be patient and get one of the academic advisors to help you.

 

[RIZAL]

i also recommend doing acst101 in first sem..... so there, that's all three mods recommending it. 3 star seal of approval
