We're all going on a... SUMMER HOLIDAY! (Chatter thread) (2 Viewers)

Firstly dunno if WAM of 65 is SciWAM or the WAM over all the UOS, including electives from other faculties.
And they won't let you pre-enrol into advanced physiology straight away so I didn't pre-enrol for physiology at all. Not intending to do physiology at all if I do not do advanced.

That's weird. I think I was able to pre-enrol in advanced physiology last year (although I didn't end up doing it). I was considering doing it in second semester until I heard the department is apparently very disorganised.

Sorry for the double post, but just a question to te Science students:

The Bachelor of Science allows for up to 48 credit points of Non-Science units of study to be included in the 3-year program. Junior Econometrics (ECMT units) and General Statistical Methods (STAT units) are specifically excluded from the BSc. Students in specialist programs and combined degrees may have less flexibility.

Is this just stating that Science students should be aware that STAT units are not science units, but you can still do it (assuming you don't go over 48 cp of non-science units)? Why the hell wouldn't STAT be science?

No. It means that STAT1021 General Statistical Methods 1 (and possibly any others like it) can't be counted towards a BSc as science units.

oh phew, cause Tennille had me worried there

 

[townie]

btw, is a one lecture clash such a big deal (1 lecture is psych, the other statistics)? or does alot depend on how the lectures are delivered, whether there is a textbook etc.?

 

[tennille]

No. It means that STAT1021 General Statistical Methods 1 (and possibly any others like it) can't be counted towards a BSc as science units.

Thanks for that. I had myself worried for a second there too.

EDIT:

I also just read this:

Students may not enrol in Concepts and Issues in Physical Science (PHYS1600) or General Statistical Methods 1 (STAT1021) or General Statistical Methods 2 (STAT1022) or Econometrics first year units, ot any other unit of study deemed mutually exclusive with units of study listed in this Table.

Maybe I should read it properly before panicking.

For Primary Education, you visit a school every wednesday for a few hours (or maybe all day) and you observe. For the first few weeks you mainly just observe, but sometimes the teacher can ask you to help out, participate, etc. It helps you get use to being in a classroom environment.

You're also supposed to develop and implement lesson plans throughout the semester, starting with small groups and culminating in a whole-class lesson at the end. It's heaps of fun
