Choosing Tutorials/Lectures (2 Viewers)

[dolbinau]

Hey,

I have a friend who enrolled @ USYD but claims he has not selected times for Tutorials/lectures/pracs etc.. I'd imagine everyone should have done this by now (at least we have at MQ) so I'm just posting for him to see if he has massively fucked something up, or does this happen soon?

thanks

EDIT: he is doing Education/Arts/history units apparently some of them are centrally timetabled, does this mean everything is given?

If they're centrally timetabled, they're assigned.

 

[nicko1990]

nope. usyd is retarded cos of that. they only release timetables in o-week

You receive your timetable at USyd, without any input. Both systems have pros and cons.

I think SYD is pretty good at timetabling and if we have any problems, we can easily change it. Only downfall is the timing. Other unis can do it themselves and do it online, but no guidance.

Yes. As much as the person who enrolled early has full choice of timeslots at other unis, the poor person who had enrolment locked out until a later date might have no options but clashes because all the classes are full.

so say i dont like early starts and i wanna change it. how do i do it? from myuni?

You can specify either a day off or two half days off (if possible) on myUni. First check on the timetabling unit to see if there is an alternative (there might only be one class and that's the early one). If you would like to try your luck, you can go to timetabling and ask the people there nicely for them to change it. However, this usually doesn't work if you don't have a clash, but some of them do have the ability to put you into any arbitrary class.

Advanced Maths timetabling at usyd is a disgrace... 1st year was 4 x 8AM starts, and 2nd year is going to be 4 x 8-10AM blocks (for analysis & calculus in 1st semester).

Just go in the tuesday before o-week to change your timetable.. Because from that wednesday onwards your looking at hour+ waiting times t get it changed.

But I thought it said that timetables came out on the Wednesday?

 

[Triangulum]

that booklet they sent out with enrolment confirmations said that timetables wouldd be out on the wednesday before o-week. the student centre never meet their deadlines though, so it's really a guessing game when we'll get them.

 

[adnan91]

y do they have to release them eggzactly on the start of oweek. btw is asking what the probability of getting early starts pointless? Im doing eng/comm if it makes any difference

Timetable Unit - Index

You can look up most centrally timetabled units already, only thing thats difficult to predict is how tutorials & deliveries with a large number of streams will fit together.

There is actually a reason for it. It gets maths out of the way since people have labs during various hours later in the morning and in the afternoon.

It'll be out before o-week. Always is.

Whenever i try and look at that, i type in the code and it just says it does not have a timetable and i don't have permission to request one?
