Wow, ok, you're going to have to change that attitude and get your priorities sorted out. Classes are held at set times and there's *some* room for manipulating the best timetable for yourself, but if you go to one of the timetabling people and say you want a sleep in and you have to travel a whole HOUR, they're not going to care.
They won't even listen to our feedback on how disgusting the timetabling system is.
If only we had UNSW's class allocation/timetabling system...
They're working on heading towards that. It's just going to take a while.They won't even listen to our feedback on how disgusting the timetabling system is.
Although I'll admit that UNSW's timetabling system is first come first serve, so if you're late then its too bad for you. (then again it's kinda your fault for not enrolling on time)They won't even listen to our feedback on how disgusting the timetabling system is.
I can't complain with USyd; I attended UWS before transferring and my god... my reflexes are not that good. I guess every university has some sort of short fall. :/
There are pros and cons for both though...They won't even listen to our feedback on how disgusting the timetabling system is.
if the subject is running another lecture you can enrol in that one, but it it doesn't then there's no other option. At least the USYD system will put you into classes that generally don't clash if its possible - but that isn't necessarily the case for the UNSW. I don't know, after 6 years of dealing with the USYD timetabling, I don't mind it that much. What would be good is if they open the system up more then a few weeks before semester starts - so at least you know your timetable further in advance.UP TO AN HOUR?!
I love it how people assume that an hour is long for me. The only reason i put it was to justify my reasoning in selecting later lectures/classes
afaik none of those are actual UoS at USyd.
6CP for a single UoS is only possible for first year maths in first semester if you don't do mathematics or higher in HSC, and second sem is only possible if you do really good in first sem adv units and then can do a second year unit (I don't know how possible this is).I believe you can pick your UoS so long the fall under the plan/structure:
S1 - Mathematics (2 x 3cp or 1 x 6cp), Psychology or Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
S2 - Mathematics (2 x 3cp or 1 x 6cp), Psychology or Physics, Chemistry and Molecular Biology.
Some ANAT units are specifically tailored for Medical students whereas other ANAT units can be studied by almost anyone of any given degree - and not all ANAT units are the same - check the unit of study outline. If you do decide to study BIOL1003/BIOL1903 - I have study notes and sample final exam papers.
but it is likely you'll have practicals that go until 5pm
UNSW you can have pracs IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT (I would die going to Campbelltown on the train at that time)
that's my main complaint too.There are pros and cons for both though...
UNSW system doesn't work so well for electives and such though. At least at usyd if you pre-enrol you are in the subject. Whereas at UNSW you sit there frenetically trying to enrol in the right classes - and if they fill up in 2 minutes that's it
but using an ~hour~ to justify that is pretty pointless. LolI love it how people assume that an hour is long for me. The only reason i put it was to justify my reasoning in selecting later lectures/classes
Realistic response: Thank you
You're talking about like a few subjects out of hundreds, it's not like every subject has pracs in the night. Even so, that's just one of the time options available, there are morning and midday pracs as well, some students who live on campus may prefer night pracs, so it gives all students a decent variety.
chemistry does
