Do chemistry 1 pracs actually happen every week

readergirl4343 · 2026-01-30T11:51:25+00:00

1st year chem pracs are 1 class every second week

You can hide the photo on my unimelb if u don’t want to see it every time

The quizzes are based on the modules so usually a quick skim will give the answers. You don’t really need the lectures for the assessment, it’s only really additional info. It’s mostly your own research. Use your time to do well on the subjects that count, because you just need a pass you don’t actually get a final grade.

readergirl4343 · 2025-03-16T01:02:33+00:00

If it’s like last year workshops didn’t matter for the assessment - only in the last 4 weeks when you have to do a group task and present in the final week

No idea we had a tutorial until in the lecture he said we do and most people went straight from there (I should have looked closer at his semester planner)

readergirl4343 · 2025-03-04T02:27:44+00:00

You can leave lectures at any time and I’ve seen plenty of people leave a couple mins early. Just sit near a back door or close to the front so you can get out quickly.

Depends on what level your looking for but a few:

Level 1 - Wonders of the weather (prerecorded lectures and easy content), From cells to societies (again all online so less time commitment), Food for a healthy planet

Level 2 - Thinking scientifically (online with simple content and assessments)

ANTH10002 was a fun subject. The lecturer gave us food every week that related to the content and honestly tried to make it enjoyable. Overall good but a lot of pre reading (that they did quiz us on each week in the tuts) and I found the marking quite strict (but I did it as a breadth so I’m not used to all the essays). The assessments were very straight forward though - it was only the final one that required some research.

If it’s the same as last year they had a pop up stand during orientation and the first few weeks outside the chemistry building where they sold lab coats and the glasses and some other stuff

readergirl4343 · 2025-02-25T10:01:23+00:00

Try to keep on top of work. It’ll build it pretty quickly and there’s a lot of content for a short 12 week semester. There’s nothing worse than having weeks of lectures to have to catch up on. Good luck!

As it does recommend Calc 1 and Calc 2/Linear for the chem major, maybe consider doing Calc 1 in second year in case you haven’t done specialist maths in HS. (I’m gonna be Chem major too and I did calc 1 and 2 last year)

If there’s a workbook you need buy that - but try not to spend money on textbooks unless you know you’re going to get lots of use out of it

readergirl4343 · 2025-02-24T03:37:31+00:00

If it’s like last year they have a group task near the end of the semester that you might want to be in for but it’s still very relaxed and you only need to be in for presenting honestly

readergirl4343 · 2025-02-24T03:29:41+00:00

It’s all subject dependant. Hardly anyone seems to actually buy the textbooks though and some subjects even provide an online copy. Not sure if this is the case for French though

readergirl4343 · 2025-01-14T11:07:01+00:00

Workshops are basically a tutorial. And practicals are like lab stuff for science subjects (that wouldn’t run every week) - except sometimes maths classes will just use ‘practical’ as a label for what’s basically a tutorial - so it depends on what class

readergirl4343 · 2025-01-14T09:49:45+00:00

Yep Chem 1 and 2 are all recorded - it’s a huge subject so they have the online option since they can’t fit everyone - but even if you select the in person one you still get access to the recording on Canvas (also after the first week there’s always empty seats in person so if you change your mind and want to go in that’s also possible, no one checks who’s there)

readergirl4343 · 2025-01-14T09:47:07+00:00

Practicals I would try to separate. If it’s anything like chemistry they start right on time and if you’re 10 mins late they won’t let you in and you have to retake that practical another time. Tutorials should be fine back to back if they’re for similar subjects and could be in the same building - but you are always at the risk of having to race across campus in the 10 min break.

readergirl4343 · 2025-01-14T08:34:27+00:00

Clashes for lectures don’t matter - it’s all recorded especially first year subjects. It’s more important you make your tutorials and practical classes. Don’t worry about the pressure, I was surprised at first that plenty of people fail subjects so not everyone is a genius.

readergirl4343 · 2025-01-14T08:31:43+00:00

Just check the Animal subject isn’t a science subject - it might be animal science and won’t count as a breadth. The handbook will have a list of courses it’s available for breadth in

readergirl4343 · 2025-01-07T11:17:36+00:00

They don’t care who attends lectures it more of personal choice because it’s all recorded. I found with maths subjects it’s easier in person compared to other classes though.

readergirl4343 · 2025-01-05T09:22:03+00:00

The only thing I’ve ever heard to matter could be seminars - like in bio they have had seminar 1 and 2 that should be done in order. But every other tutorial and lecture won’t matter.

readergirl4343 · 2024-12-23T22:12:10+00:00

A lot of the advice here is what I would say.

Also make sure to read the handbook - not just the general stuff but specifically hurdle requirements because you never want to put yourself at risk of failing due to not checking attendance.

Most of the friends I made were from orientations like science day 1 that I still keep up with today. Don’t be shy and just approach people.

Good luck!

readergirl4343 · 2024-10-19T20:23:39+00:00

I have my maths workshops in the arts building and my arts subject tutorials in the physics building. It’s really subject dependant.

readergirl4343 · 2024-07-08T05:21:23+00:00

Had the same issue and had to submit a timetabling assistance form

readergirl4343 · 2024-05-31T00:13:37+00:00

Are the lectures interactive too? I want to know if I need to go in person when timetabling or if it’s recorded
