Travel isn't really that big of a deal after the first few weeks; you get used to it :) I'm in my final year and I've put up with four out of five day 9am starts in previous semesters. This semester I've got three 9am starts. It takes about 1.5 hours to get to UNSW from my place so it's a lot...

If you right click on the Windows Media Player window when you're streaming and bring up the menu, click on Properties and copy the link. Then paste the link into a download manager and you'll be able to download it. No need to wait for staff to release it as an MP3.

Depends on the course and room. Some lecturers use the microphone while others don't. Even then, the room might not have a microphone and recording facilities. Can't remember where I got this link, but thanks again! It's a list of courses and their iLectures. Sometimes a course might not...

You'll have to pay attention or you might... undermine your good intentions. Maybe... dig up some dirt on the lecturers and course material to give you an idea. You never know, it could probably be a... diamond in the rough sorta course :p

You can take geneds from your own faculty, but only a maximum of 3 UOC. You can enrol in a maximum of 6 UOC from any one faculty other than your own, all of which will count towards your total of 12 UOC.

Yeah I know what you mean though. First year was all over the place lol.

Had my first exam (out of 4) today :(

Why would you want to get into the thick of things when you still haven't covered the basics? You need a foundation before you can start building. Anyways, UNSW is where it's at. I go there so no bias at all :p

Fixed :)

Yeah I'd say 3rd year was easier (Molecular Biology of Proteins - BIOC3111)...there seemed to be less rush and less material for some reason, but not as "exciting" as second year biochem. Labs were a complete bitch though. Hopefully the finals will be ok lol.

Looks like they changed the room to PHPH2011...last year it was at CLB1 or something - tiny room with no recordings for the lectures. As bad as it was, I still enjoyed it. So you shouldn't rule it out completely. The labs weren't that long so in total contact hours should only be 5-6 hours...

I don't know about bludgey. 7 contact hours a week (lab was 4 hours but most of the time only went for 2.5-3 hours and usually involved you taking drugs lol). There's a lot of content to remember, especially regarding the drug names and their effects. Second year PHPH2011 was mediocre at best...

There's a DVD you pickup from the biomed office on level 1. You deposit $20 for the DVD and they give you a manual at the end of the course. When the course finishes you return the DVD and collect your $20 if it's good shape. On the DVD there were 2 videos, a HIV patient who tells of this...

Yeah I did the HIV gened. It ran from weeks 3-10. 60% Online discussion. You read up on some set material and discuss it. You can talk abt the trigger questions or post of your own. Discussions contribute 10% per week. But since the course runs for 7 weeks, you're marked on the best 6...

Yup...like the ones you did in high school. That is: sit and reach hand-grip strength VO2 max (walking exercise) body-fat composition posture And a few other things. They're not hard and I think they only take 1 hour to do (one of the lectures will be dedicated to the fitness test and...

Now you know how we science people feel :p

Labs: You'll be doing fitness tests, where the results will be used in the report you hand in. It's all about how you're going to improve yourself from current levels/results to future results (theoretically). I think there were about 50 people in our class. It's always preferable to...

Well I've got 4 hour labs for all 4 of my courses this semester so it's only right that they cut them shorter lol. Mid-semester break isn't a break...maybe in first year...:(

Well I can't enrol yet but I'll definitely be looking forward to next semester... :bomb:

Went there to look for a tutor and ended up walking around in circles in that building. Haven't found any cancer though.
