I've found 2 timetables which are great for me at the moment - i'd like your opinions on it. Preferably from 07'ers or older because you guys have experience.

OPTION 1


OPTION 2

Neither are ideal, but that depends on you as a person. Do you think you can handle a day of classes 9am to 6pm with one break?

I'm in the same situation - wondering whether i should cram it in 4 days or spread it over 5.

Considering it's engineering I'm at Uni for quite a long time.

Depends, if i have my laptop and psp or what not with me i think i'd be able to handle the long lectures.

i can jsut leave midway though can't i?

Hey tommykins, I'm interested as to why you haven't chosen higher maths or physics? (you seem to be very good at those subjects from what I could gather around these forums). Sorry to be offtopic

The year I did higher physics 1A the class average for the mid session was 35% :lol:


Things have probably changed since then though.

ENGG1811 hmm.

Seeing as it is an acceptable alternative to COMP1911, would this be a more suitable option?

if ur degree requires comp1911 then it must be done. comp1911 involves C programming, whereas engg1811 involves VBA. If ur doing a mechatronic, or computing degree, then 1911 is required, if its not needed then u shouldnt bother.

Warning, its a hard subject, i had no previous programming experience and i only scraped a pass in 1911, 54 PS, if u have programmed in C before then u can do it if u want, but if its not required then ur better off doing the easier option, 1811.

My friend pulled off something similar to the OPTION2 timetable.
She liked it because it gives her a day off and for session 2 she had no choice but to take 5 days.

If transport is not an issue then proceed with timetable 2.

The year I did higher physics 1A the class average for the mid session was 35% :lol:

Back in 2008 percentages of mid-session averages were around the 40ish.

Re: 回复: 2 Possible Civ. Eng. Timetables - Poll

Option 1. In my first semester I had a 2pm to 9pm timetable on tuesdays, no breaks. It was quite ridiculous in practice for me. Having the day off was not worth it. I'd stick with the spread out timetable.

Sorry for not starting a new thread, but what are the advantages of doing higher maths + physics? which branches of engineering are they intended for?

you do higher phys and math if you're interested in enhancing your knowledge of the field, and they do give you scaling bonuses.

Well Elec/Telecom have to do PHYS1231 but not PHYS1131 but I did both higher phys and math in first session and yes do them if you like maths and don't mind doing extra tute questions thats all.

ENGG1811 hmm.

Im guessing that since you are doing civil you don't care about computing, so there's no point doing 1911. =D
