MATH1081 has this annoying habit of having blanks in the lecture notes for important things, and you fill those blanks in at the lectures. Theres way too much content to be taught in tutes, so if you're skipping lectures you're effectively missing out on content (which you'll most likely have to figure out yourself). I did discrete last year (second year of uni, so most of the stuff I had learnt already) and turned up to 1 lecture the entire semester, and it was still kind of tough learning things with blank lecture notes. Best bet would be to take sunny's advice.

Thanks for the advice.. I would really have liked to have Friday's off but oh wellsunny said:
I'll see if I can go straight to work after that lecture. If not do you guys think I should try to re-arrange my timetable so I have less of a load on Monday's and Thursday's by putting more stuff on Friday?.. It seems like a waste going into uni for just one lecture!That sucks.. sif leave blanks! So the three 5-6pm lectures won't be enough?acmilan said:

Yes...you should deliberately put more stuff into Friday, like some tutes. That way you're less likely to be tempted to just miss the discrete lecture.
I should mention, the later your maths tutes are in the week, the more time you'll get to study for the class tests (if you're that kind of need-more-time-to-study person)

Yeah, I just cannot stress the importance of lectures. If you miss out 1, you'll be tempted to miss out more and more.
Put Labs or Tuts on that day, because most of the time tests will take place in your Tutorial or Laboratory periods. With more time in your hands, you get more study.

So true. I did this for discrete last year (semester 1).. I went to maybe about 3 weeks worth of lectures, and ended up missing out on all the additional examples and all, which kinda screwed me over in class tests. That and I couldn't really be bothered with the tests anyway lol. It's okay to do if maths is a strong point of yours.. In the end though I got 74 which was pretty lucky I reckon lol.Rekkusu said:
This is pretty much what i'm thinking right now. I'm still not properly enrolled due to some issues so i'm not entirely sure what the final timetable will be...at the moment though looks like im only turning up two days a week

After getting an idea off chucknthem (thanks man) I've decided to go with Pattern B and do two electives in S1 so I get Friday's off
This way I get to put off Discrete Mathematics untill S2.. Is Physics 1A generally easier at all?

haha just like BIOS1101 and MATH 1041 ayeRekkusu said:Yeah, I just cannot stress the importance of lectures. If you miss out 1, you'll be tempted to miss out more and more.
