Maybe 9 is including Gen ed?

 

[sunny]

Thanks sunny .

I look in that book however, and it seems to be a bit different to:
http://www.maths.unsw.edu.au/studen...tml#MathematicsandComputerScience(MATHC13972)
Which is what I used earlier. On that link, it says "Elective courses totalling 6 units of credit", so I just chose PHYS1000 from the list provided in that link. But in that handbook, it says "Elective courses totalling 9 units of credit" - which one is correct?

They've certainly made it confusing. On the maths page:

Stage 1
MATH1141 Higher Mathematics 1A
MATH1241 Higher Mathematics 1B
MATH1081 Discrete Mathematics
MATH1000 Modelling Real-World Phenomena
MATH2400 Finite Mathematics
COMP1011 Computing 1A
COMP1021 Computing 1B
Elective courses totalling 6 units of credit
Choose one from:

* CHEM1000 Chemistry at the Cutting Edge
* GEOS1000 Advances in Earth Sciences
* PHYS1000 Physics Thinking
* LIFE1001 Advanced Life Sciences Seminar
* LIFE2001 Advanced Life Sciences Seminar 2

Choose a General Education course of 3 units of credit

I think what they mean to say is:

Stage 1
MATH1141 Higher Mathematics 1A
MATH1241 Higher Mathematics 1B
MATH1081 Discrete Mathematics
MATH1000 Modelling Real-World Phenomena
MATH2400 Finite Mathematics
COMP1011 Computing 1A
COMP1021 Computing 1B
Elective courses totalling 6 units of credit
then in addition...
Choose one from: these 3uoc subjects
* CHEM1000 Chemistry at the Cutting Edge
* GEOS1000 Advances in Earth Sciences
* PHYS1000 Physics Thinking
* LIFE1001 Advanced Life Sciences Seminar
* LIFE2001 Advanced Life Sciences Seminar 2
Choose a General Education course of 3 units of credit

That makes more sense to me as it would add it up the full load of 48uoc a year.

heh yeah now I see it in semester 2

but still I cannot see all my course options on one screen cuz when is search for the Plan - Mechatronics it doesn't return any results

[sunny]

Then I suggest you search by catalogue instead, where you can type in all your courses for a session and enroll in them in one go.

 

[sig]

ohhhh I think I solved the problem....

since Mechatronics is one of the courses under Mechanical (inlcuding aerospace,manufacture, mecha and naval) my first year subjects are found under 'Mechanical Engineering' rather than mechatronics...

 

[J0n]

Ah, thanks sunny - that clears it up. Now it seems I need to find elective course(s) for 6 UOC. Where do I find which electives I can choose from - is it just any science courses with no prerequisites?

HELp

hey every1,1. it says there is a typical uoc of 24 credits for civil engineering, and a minimum of 3 uoc per session, but in yaer 1 it specifies particular subjects, and when u can complete them with certain prepquisites 4 each, what happens if we dont choose (up to) the typ 24 uoc per semester so when would we complete the actual subject (as in singular not the year i.e dynamics or statics if we dont choose it).2. Also it says u can complete dynamics in s 1 or s2 although when i search to add courses only statics is availale in s1. what gives??

thx in advance

Can you clarify your questions? I don't really understand what you mean.
Bascially if you don't choose 24 uoc a session, you either have to catch up during winter/summer if the subject is offered during that time, or you take longer to complete your degree.

 

[Princeps_]

ok u basically answered my first, in the 2nd one a mean simply it says in the handbook that dynamics is available for session 1 and 2 although when i search in semester 1to add courses (in the online app process) it doesnt have dynamics.

 

[shannonm]

in course selection, add courses button
and RHS 'search by catalogue' plug in CVEN1024 in the first text box, click search, tick the box, continue, should be set

 

[Courtenay]

Renewable energy was easy to apply for, seeing at the only decision was whether to do mathermatics or higher mathematics, and physics or higher physics....but then trying to get a decent timetable....i start at 9 every day which will be a challenge...even managed to end up in a tut with me sister who is starting civil engineering

 

[shannonm]

btw (response to 3 posts up)
isnt dynamics usually done in session 2 by civil peeps?

person above:
there could be 6 (or 8+) individual tutes in each timeslot so your not guaranteed to be in the same tute with someone in the same timeslot

 

[Courtenay]

very good point...well who knows your luck in a big city!

 

[Princeps_]

another question, with the timetable there were some times already allocated is this normal and standardised????

Not unless you didn't allocate them for your subjects.

 

[Princeps_]

do u have to slelect S2 times now ir can u do it later???????? like b4 s2 starts

 

[sunny]

Strictly you have to do it now, but it is not final. The uni uses this information to plan for the year.

The S2 enrollment can be varied during the mid year break between S1 and S2.

 

[Dirt Poor]

Can't your S2 choices be varied any time throughout throughout Semester 1 as well? I'm pretty sure they don't lock you out it.

 

[Princeps_]

thx sunny ur heaps helpful, added to ur rep

 

[Princeps_]

last question, lets say u have a course that runs from 1pm-3pm (eg maths) and subsequently one that runs on the same day from 3pm-5pm (eg chem) do u miss out on some of the chem lecture/tute/e.tc or is there like a 5 min break or something between classes, so should i pick something that has a 2-3 hour break between sessions?

thx
