old moodle looked... old. Decent upgrade imo

A lot of the stuff which was typeset for the old moodle will look shit because the various CSS have changed, I reckon it will look a lot better once the content creators learn how to use it

I havent done those units because I'm doing a double degree..However, I've done a similar materials unit and physics...materials can be very easy with some memorization and a bit of maths..

Materials 1 is the least mathsy eng course you will take. As such, I did not enjoy it.

Cheers for the reply, how about an easy comm unit?

I've scored a job recently, so i'm trying to base my uni hours around it and would also like to do an easy eng unit and maybe  a comm one too (i plan to do civil like 80% at the moment)

any of the 1st year comm units (except accounting and bus law depending on your interests) are very straightforward.

my vote for the overall easiest is intro to micro

A Monash advisor emailed me recently to say that there are pathways for those who achieve a clearly-in ATAR for a course, but do not satisfy a particular pre-requisite.

At the moment, I think it would be difficult for me to achieve a 25+ study score for Further Mathematics in terms of quantitative and objective marks, despite the effort I am putting in. This is required for the Business type degree courses.

Anyone had first-hand experience of these 'pathways'? For specific courses I am referring to those in the 80+ ATAR range, e.g. Journalism/Business, Business/Marketing, Arts/Business etc...

What is the difference between a standard Arts course and a double degree which may contain Arts? With a standard Arts degree, can you still do Business? I find this very confusing, as there are a wealth of subject areas to do with Arts.

I also researched Arts/Education as this satisfies many interests of mine, however, a user told me that the education part of the course can be extremely dull. Thoughts?

Then again, I may not even reach a high enough ATAR! I know that anything can happen on a given SAC or exam day, albeit it would be naive of me not to research and acquire advice on the following nonetheless.

Thank you!

I don't have any experience with these pathways, but it's basically a bridging course that they're talking about (i.e. some sort of course equivalent to Further or Methods). These may well exist for Further (I'm not so sure, though I'm pretty sure there is a maths unit basically considered equivalent to Methods/Spec at Monash); you would do it while studying Arts in your first semester I guess, then transfer to Arts/Business. At this point I'd focus more on getting the 25 in Further, if you ultimately have to do a bridging course later for Business then no big deal really.

The difference between Arts and Arts double degrees is that with straight arts you'll get more Arts subjects (meaning probably another major & minor). Within a standard Arts degree you can probably do a few business subjects as electives, but you won't be able to do enough units to major in anything (just to clarify, majors are just subject areas - accounting, marketing, management, economics, etc. that you complete a certain number of units/subjects for, i.e. you sorta specialise in them). No idea about Education degrees sorry...

Prescribed textbooks for two units, hmm, definitely not buying for CHM2922, as for MTH3020, I'll see...
