first sem
Psych - stats
Psych - cognitive + social
English - australian texts + context
English - imagining camelot

second sem
Psych - brain and behaviour
Psych - Personality + differential
English - heroes, something and something

either Gender Studies - youth culture, or History - darwinism, somethingsomething

I thought brain & behaviour was first sem, and cognitive & social was second?

for me:
first sem
Psych x2
Reality, Ethics and Beauty
Moral Psychology

second sem
Psych x 2
Phil of Mind
Probably another philosophy one

it's usually mid-february i think, once all the first-year enrolments are processed.

 

[spence]

any chance someone can tell me exactly where room Quad 223 is?

I'm pretty sure that's the history room. If so, then its in lobby C, first on the left

Definitely, don't stress! I know so many people who with even a lower UAI (back in the day) were able to get into their course of choosing, up to .5 off the cut off. You should be fine!

I appreciate you response amber +rep.

I wish you luck! Let us know how you go, when do you find out?
On another note, the course offered by Open University, once you finish, is there anything denoting your online degree to the other degrees offered by the various unis?

Just wondering, in lecture rooms, are there many powerpoints so students can plug their laptops in? Or not at all?

Depends which lecture room you're in. Generally speaking the power points that are there are not really intended for student use. Along the walls you can safely assume there are power points. There's no problem plugging in, however because there are so few along each side, it's first in, best dressed.
