For the past years has discrete mathematic's timetable always been 1 hr lecs for 4 days.. making you go to uni for 4 days kinda sux when you could simply do 3 days. I was thinking of waiting till next semester.. but if its still going to be 4 days then i'll jsut do it this semester.. with friday having to be at uni for 1 hr.. where my travelling woulnd definitely be longer..

With Discrete your locked into the 1hr, 4 days problem. However to get yourself a day off, you'll probably see that Mathematics 1A (MATH1131/1141) is also 4 days, 1 hr each time. With Math 1A, there are two streams -> one is calculus, one is algebra. So just informally go to different streams from different enrolments. So you change the Mon-Tues-Wed-Thurs into Mon-Wed or the Tues-Wed-Thurs-Fri into a Tues and Fri.

What i've explained above will make more sense when you start uni.

Enjoy the worst subject I've ever done (at uni).

Maths 1A is 2 lecs 2 hrs each. With discrete is each of the lectures on different topics?

No, each lecture is as shit as the previous (I never went). There are something like 6 different topics that you go through.

Seems they finally changed it. Guess your at uni for five days. Skipping discrete on friday is one option.

I sometimes wonder how much you actually get from a 1 hr lecture =/ Do you think its worth going to that 1 hr lectures in your opinion?

Everyone's different. Go to the first one, then make your decision.

I hear such bad stories about Discrete Math lecturers, I'm not looking foward to this at all... How's the content in terms of difficulty when compared with math 1a?
