Would like some input on EDUC10051 Sports Coaching: Theory and Practice.
Also biochem as a major.
Sure, I'll do that one sometime this week. I did it last year. I can't recommend it highly enough! Super easy subject with absolutely no work. A pretty easy H1 if you ask me!
Sinner, could you give a very brief outline of how Comp Animal Physio was for you this sem? I'm doing it next semester and would love to have an idea of what I'm going into :3
Thanks :>
Oh ya, those fall in the same group w/ the Music Psychology/Health ones and Forests in a Global Context.
It'd be nice to get second opinions on PHYS30001 and PHYS30008. Both (only) reviews were written by the same person, and the subjects themselves can't be that bad, otherwise the coordinators would have changed them for the better.
@Ballerina: Comparative Animal Physiology is probably more useful for physiology, and I've heard bad things about DASC subjects :/
I know there's a few people who are pretty curious for what some of the subjects are like in the MD.
anyone thats done Organisational Behaviour, are the lectures useful?
I haven't heard much about Companion Animal Biology other than that it's objectively "bad" (the assessment looks very nice, though), but I do have it on good authority that Applied Animal Physiology is hands-down the worst subject in the world and that you shouldn't even think of touching it if you want to live (from 5 people or so, and friends with 2nd year friends have apparently heard the same thing). As for other non-Animals in Society DASC subjects, I've heard little, so I don't think I'm qualified to say anything about them. But if you want to do an animal physiology subject Comparative Animal Physiology is apparently a recommended subject for physiology majors (or at least a prereq option, so it must be useful). Otherwise I guess you could just stick to humans?
could someone do a review of 'PHRM20001 Pharmacology: How Drugs Work' please. Thanks
Someone just did it yesterday or the day before.
Where? I can't find it.
It's about the third of fourth last on the last page.
Lectures are definitely useful, ideally you should attend the lectures in person since there's no screen capture or proper recordings online (it's just a crappy mp3 download). Videos are always shown in the lectures, and sometimes there are questions about these videos in your tute prep or tutes themselves. Lecturers will also tell you what will and won't be on the exam. I've posted up a review of OB in the subject reviews thread if you want to have a look.
I have a friend who took that, I'll ask her about it and get back to you in depth if you like :D
From what I *recall* she said it's extraordinarily basic and very, very easy, especially for people with prior mathematical/physics knowledge. She also said that the workload is pretty low and the subject was fairly interesting.
Hi all, if someone has taken CHEM20020 I'd love to hear your thoughts on the subject! Thank-you in advance.
I've done CHEM20020 this semester so I can write one for you.
I like the idea of this thread but maybe we should collate the requests in the OP and cross them off if they are reviewed?Yeah b^3 and I were thinking of doing this. Haven't had time as of yet though.
There are just a lot of requests and not many responses atm
Unsure whether I'm allowed to perform necromastery on this thread but I wanted to request subject reviews for:
-Neurophysiology (NEUR30002)
Shall be done during the summer holidays.
Unsure whether I'm allowed to perform necromastery on this thread but I wanted to request subject reviews for:

I have not yet decided on my major! Next year is my third year...so your reviews may save my life :d
reproductive physiology
Neurophysilogy
Evolution and the human condition
The AN community can expect me to write subject reviews for principles of neuroscience, neurophysiology, deafness and communication, reproductive physiology, visual neuroscience and (potentially) sensations, movement & complex functions. litaluta, I strongly advise AGAINST choosing evolution as it is known to be a GPA destroyer (I heard that the average subject score was in the 50s).
-MUSI20186 Music Theatre: Singing Sondheim
Developmental BiologyThese will be coming soon :)
Reproductive Physiology
Would love to see the 2 3rd year anatomy subjects being reviewed again (for a more updated feel) :)

Your reviews will decide my major 8)
I'm looking for some additional insights into LING20005/6 Phonetics+Syntax. :) (Thoroughly enjoyed LING10001 SLL this semester, so... considering some more linguistics.)
I've done both of them (my reviews are somewhere on AN I believe); what would you like to know? :)I've read your reviews - but didn't know if you were still around! :)
I've read your reviews - but didn't know if you were still around! :)
With Phonetics, were they pretty clear as to what they expected from you? And was the workload reasonable, in terms of hours?
HPSC10002 Science and Pseudoscience
Reviews on this subject would be appreciated, thanks! :)
I did it in first year (so three years ago now.) For this reason, I won't write a subject review of it. Chances are, a lot has changed.
Anyway, on the whole, I thought the subject was average. The content was interesting enough, the assessment was very manageable (especially considering you could do the essay in the mid-semester break, you had a choice on when it was due.) The topics were interesting enough. After an introductory week, you basically take a series of topics (evolutionary biology, intelligent design, astrology, forensic science, climate science, etc,) and try to decide if it's 'science' or 'pseudoscience.' Some will be clear, some will be less then clear. There's assigned readings and all that jazz that usually comes with arts subjects.
This subject definitely focuses on the 'philosophy' of science.
Not a terrible subject by any stretch of the imagination, but not really fantastic either. I've heard the second semester subject (From Plato to Einstein) focuses more on the 'history' of science, if that's your thing.
Hi all,I haven't taken either of those subjects personally but have heard that comparative nutrition and digestion is a very interesting subject and seems quite manageable to score highly in
I am trying to decide which Animal subject to study for 2nd year science at Melbourne Uni. I am already doing foundations of animal health 1 and think that comparative animal nutrition and digestion (DASC20012) is pretty similar to the vet subject, content wise. It sounds really interesting, but so does companion animal biology (DASC20011) which covers things a little different from my vet subject. I was wondering if anyone knew what either of these subjects were like and which one they would recommend?
Thankyou!

Who yoy doing it with?
Hey mate msg me on fb XD
I'm thinking of doing too, and would appreciate a review also :L
Would like some input on EDUC10051 Sports Coaching: Theory and Practice.
Also biochem as a major.
Hey, has anyone done ANCW10001 Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia would like to provide some review? Either brief or detailed would be much appreciated :) :) In my first semester of uni and slightly worried whether an essay based breadth would be too much for freshman.
would love a review of MULT20011 Communicating Science and Technology if anyone has done it at all :)Just replied on the UoM general chat thread.
I'd be eternally grateful if anyone could post a review for ECON20005 Competition and Strategy or either of the three 3rd year Economics major subjects. :D
A friend told me that comp and strat was changing up a lot this year, so I'm not sure if a review would be all that worthwhile. Both people I knew who did it last year found it interesting and pretty easy compared to other second year subjects.
Ahh I see, thanks. I hear really good things about comp and strat from a lot of people, I hope it remains a cool elective this year. I think it might be changed because there is a new lecturer for this year? Not too sure. Also turns out the Inter Macro lecturer from previous years isn't lecturing anymore. :( So I hope the subject is taught well (given you said the content is challenging, haha)
Could anyone make a review of PHYC10008: From the Solar System to the Cosmos? Would be much appreciated! Thanks :)I'm interested in knowing what these labs/workshops are
In the latest BLAW10001 Principles of Business Law review (sem 2 2013) it said that the course was changing a bit in 2014.Loved it, great break from my other subjects. Covered lawmaking bodies (parliament and courts), contract formation and terms, contract performances and breaches, remedies for contract breaches, vitiating factors that invalidate a contract, Australian Consumer Law, tort law (focus on tort of negligence), agency law.
Can anyone who did the subject in 2014/2015 do a quick review?

If Tanya is lecturing for Semester 2, she's great. I really enjoyed her lecturing style. Assessment isn't too difficult either 2 MCQ tests during semester worth 10% each (/40 marks) and MCQ exam worth 80% (/60 marks)
Any reviews for
CEDB30004 Stem Cells in Development and Regeneration
or
BCMB30004 Cell Signalling & Neurochemistry
or
BCMB30001 Protein Structure and Function
:)
Thanks so much. Looking forward to them :-\
Also, this is not specifically about subjects, but do you know what it's like to do a Diploma of Languages?
Could someone please write a review of French 1? I'm dying to do it, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to handle the workload :-\ thank you :)
yep can confirm level 1 chinese was one of the slowest paced subjects i have ever done without much to learn, very clear, fair and i dare say easy assessments and fun classes with a good atmosphereCould someone please write a review of French 1? I'm dying to do it, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to handle the workload :-\ thank you :)I didn't do it, but based on my experience with level 1 languages and what people who've done French 1 have told me, it's fairly easily manageable. Personally, I was pleasantly surprised by how little work there was to do for Spanish 1 compared to my other science-based subjects.
Could someone please write a review of French 1? I'm dying to do it, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to handle the workload :-\ thank you :)
EDIT: also, from what i've heard from most of my friends, the 5th language subject (eg; chinese 5, spanish 5, french 5(especially french)) is generally where things get difficult/annoying/less enjoyable. i dont think i know a single person whose done "insertlanguagehere 6"

Of course though, what you should really be thinking of is Spanish 1 rather than French 1
Spanish >>>>> French
I have a few friends who did German 5 and they said it sucked as well, so clearly there's something up with the level 5 language subjects haha.seriously consider chinese 1. it is very very easy (if you do the work, of which there is little) and it is arguably one of the most useful languages to learn + people will look at your transcript and say "wow such a good score in chinese? isnt it a really hard langauge? this lad must be smart"
Has anyone done Indonesian 1? If so it'd be great if someone could do a review of it. I need to find a breadth subject for next semester and I really like languages, so I'm kiiiinda leaning towards it. I would have loved to do French and Spanish (or Greek if they offered it), but Arts kids can only do Asian languages as breath so I'm leaning towards Indo instead.
Confession: I learnt French from Years 7-11. ;)
However, I really don't remember much. Thanks so much guys! I think I shall do it :)
I'd be surprised if they let you do French 1 then. They're pretty strict nowadays on entry because plenty of people had, previously, been taking language subjects to bump up their GPA.
^
With Year 11 knowledge your entry point will most likely be French 3. They'll make you sit an online placement test just to be sure, but if they found out you did French in Year 11 (remember, VCE Units 1 & 2 subjects do show up on the transcript) you'd have to make a pretty good case to be allowed into the French 1 class. If you're lucky, they might ask you to wait a semester and enter in at French 2, but I strongly doubt you'd get permission to join French 1.
Can confirm that year 11 knowledge will place the student into French 3 under normal circumstances.
Well the scenario in question was the exact same one I was in at the start of first year having done Year 11 Italian, and I was allocated into the Italian 3 class.
This is annoying because I barely learnt anything from years 7-10 (bad school). I don't feel that I ever actually learnt the fundamentals, which is why I didn't take it in year 12. Oh well :( Thanks for the heads up, guys :)
(I tried taking a placement test but the program crashed so I exited it and now I can't redo the test...??)
seriously consider chinese 1. it is very very easy (if you do the work, of which there is little) and it is arguably one of the most useful languages to learn + people will look at your transcript and say "wow such a good score in chinese? isnt it a really hard langauge? this lad must be smart"Yeah I was considering Chinese as well but the idea of learning all the characters/tones seems really daunting haha. If you're saying it's not that bad though then I might start leaning towards it... Hm maybe I should write up a pros and cons list lol
classes are also great fun, everyone is friendly, teachers are awesome, basically its the best case scenario imaginable for a university subject LOL
Yeah I was considering Chinese as well but the idea of learning all the characters/tones seems really daunting haha. If you're saying it's not that bad though then I might start leaning towards it... Hm maybe I should write up a pros and cons list lolshould've clarified that the characters are pretty bad :P but you get used to it and the rest of the language is pretty simple and pretty cool. tones aren't too bad either, especially in the first year of chinese they take it very easy on you with the tones. all in all indonesian or something would probably be easier, but alot of the kids that do jap + chinese say that chinese is easier than jap so im thinking the difficulty scale is something like indo<chinese<<<japanese
Has anyone done or know someone who has done LING20011 Grammar of English? I really wanted to study a linguistics subject at university and I was intending to do LING10001 The Secret Life of Language until EURO10002 Eurovisions became a thing (both are in semester 2, so I can only pick one). XD This one's available in semester 1, is a level 2 breadth and doesn't seem to require any prior linguistics knowledge. Is it one of those problem-based subjects? How demanding is the workload? Is it any good? Anything else I should know? Thanks.Yarp. Did it Semester 1 this year and would absolutely recommend it. I'll hopefully post a full review sometime next week - I was holding off till the end of this Semester since I did Syntax and wanted to assess them after doing both.
If that doesn't work out, I'll probably do FOOD20003 Food Chemistry, Biology and Nutrition.

Pre-emptive spoiler: it's an awesome subject that was run by Lesley Stirling when I did it (an utterly wonderful lady and amazing lecturer) but will most likely be taken by Peter Hurst next year (who was the lecturer for Syntax and was magniflorious) so you've pretty much got the best in the department. Not having done any linguistics at all isn't much of a disadvantage since the first few weeks go through all the basics, but it ramps up a tiny bit when you start getting into fluid sentence structures and 'thematic variations' eg. (what is the role of 'it' in 'It's raining today'?) but so long as you've got a grip on the lingo, you'll be fine.
There are weekly assignments that are definitely worth doing, plus two bigger ones over the course of the Semester. The exam was pretty fair, and no surprise to those who had been keeping up with work in tutes. It's not as problem-based as Secret Life in which you get a whole bunch of data sets (ie. lists of words or clauses from different languages with translations) and are told to break apart which words or sounds are which.
eg. pg 2 and 4 of this thing are like amped up versions of what's done in Secret Life.
But because GofE centres on English in particular, there's a bit more theory and rationalisation behind the scenes as opposed to just logic puzzles. There were still quite a few Science and Biomed kids in GofE doing it as a breadth though, and it's certainly not as 'artsy' as stuff like 'Language and Society in Europe,' but even amidst some of the drier content weeks, you'll look at cool things like why adjectives have to be in a certain order (ie. you have to say 'the tall cruel American man' and can't say 'the American tall cruel man' without it sounding weird) or how
... well I think it's cool, at least :P
Happy to PM you a sample of the tute exercises if you want an idea of what those were like :)
Thanks so much, Lauren! :) To be honest, it sounds pretty interesting! I've always been interested in learning languages and after finishing Italian last year I feel like there's been a bit of a void in my studies. However, I like the different focus linguistics brings to the whole subject area. The fact that it isn't as problem-based actually doesn't bother me that much - like perhaps many Science/Biomedicine students, I'm just not keen on essay writing (which eliminates a tonne of subjects). :P Most seem to opt for Commerce subjects, but personally I find that area boring as. =_= And I'm not up for those rather creative intensives that many flock to.Having done both Secret Life and GofE I'd say doing the former isn't a necessity since that course has a much wider scope. Secret Life takes you through a whole bunch of different fields: Morphology (word-internal structure, eg. affixes, why 'run' changes to 'ran' in past tense etc.) Syntax (sentence structure) Phonetics/Phonology (speech sounds) [+reviews pending for all these 2nd year subjects too!] It's actually a really well-designed first year course for those planning on doing a Linguistics major/minor because it's got a great depth/breadth balance for all the subjects offered at a higher level.
My biggest concern is the disadvantage in not having done LING10001 beforehand. One thing that caught my attention is the lack of "recommended background knowledge" in the handbook. Honestly, would it be at all jarring or difficult to take LING20011 without LING10001? If not, I think I may lock it in for next year! :)
Has anyone done ENGL30046 Romancing the Medieval, or anything else similar?I haven't done this specific subject, but I don't think there are many other English students floating around, let alone ones who have done 3rd year subjects, so I might be able to help.
Thanks so much :)

GofE is just about syntax and grammar, and whilst there's a teensy bit of sociolinguistics and historical linguistics, it's definitely much more focused, and goes into more depth than Secret Life without assuming prior knowledge. It's kind of like Secret Life is a subject about all the different kinds of fruits and vegetables in the world, and Grammar of English is like an in depth study of green apples - technically those who did Secret Life know some things about green apples, but their study was much more disparate, and GofE goes into so much more depth with all the different parts of the apple that everyone's basically on equal footing by that stage.
From memory, when we were asked in the first tute if anyone had done other Linguistics subjects or English Language in VCE, there was a bout a 50/50 split, and after a few weeks, there was no discernible division in the class other than those who 'got it' because they were on top of the work, and those who relied on native intuitions rather than learning the actual theory. Honestly, the fact that you've had experience learning Italian will more than make up for not having done the first year subject. You might be like me and have a few 'OMG THAT'S WHY THE VERB CONJUGATES THIS WAY' moments when you learn the rationale behind why your first and/or second language behaves the way it does, but speaking with the bias of someone who is totally smitten by linguistics, that just made the subject more enjoyable for me :)
Also, Grammar of English is, unsurprisingly, just about English, which makes it waaaaaay easier than subjects like Syntax that throw Scots Gaelic and Basque and obscure Indigenous languages at you every single week ::)
I don't think it'd be jarring at all, and there's absolutely no essay writing - it's all short answer questions and a few problem solving exercises. Also, the staff are incredibly approachable and always up for a nerdy chat about language-y things, so if you feel a bit perplexed by something then you can always let them know after a lecture or see them during office hours.
Btw, don't buy the textbook - it's about $80 from the co-op and the library has two or three copies in the high-use section anyway. I managed to find a couple of versions online + sneaky pdf link so that can be a good reference point too :)
I haven't done this specific subject, but I don't think there are many other English students floating around, let alone ones who have done 3rd year subjects, so I might be able to help.
I've done the two first year English subjects, plus Shakespeare and Performance, Modernism and the Avant Garde, American Classics, and Gothic Fictions. According to the handbook Romancing the Medieval is run by Stephanie Trigg who I've had as a lecturer occasionally and seems quite good. The texts also seem pretty decent, and I believe David McInnis might take a few (incl. Canterbury Tales) and having had him in Lit & Performance as well as the Shakespeare subject, he's brilliant.
In general, the 3rd year English subjects are much better run than the 2nd year ones since they're a bit more specific and tend to be handled by just one or two people who take all the lectures and tutes. Compare this to the way 2nd year subjects are run (or at least, Mod&AV and American Classics) where you're getting a different lecturer almost every week and the tutes are totally out of step with them anyway :/
If you've never done an English subject or are looking for a breadth, I can't recommend picking up a 3rd year one. They tend to have a bizarre standard of marking where people very rarely score above a 70, and (quote from a tutor: 'we don't give you anything higher than 85 unless it's good enough to be published.') That said, I've seen such vastly different expectations in each subject to the point where my marks would fluctuate drastically with little explanation. Some of the content has been fairly interesting across the different subjects, but the rather poor way things are run kind of undermines that.
For instance, this is a screencap of the American Classics LMS page from this semester:
(http://i.imgur.com/ijiCiTi.png)
Maybe this emptiness is typical in other diciplines, but every single other unit I've done (incl. Linguistics, Art History, Genetics, Philosophy, Botany, Ancient World Studies, Education, Classics, and even a Sign Language breadth) were all far better with communication and providing necessary information.
The 'Subject Home' tab just had links to the other tabs; the 'Subject Information' took you to another site that just reworded what was in the handbook and gave you links to the lecture notes (no recordings >:() 'Announcements,' as you can see, was blank for the entire semester, and the 'Assessment' portal took you to a dodgy thing that wasn't the normal Turnitin and gave you no confirmation that you'd submitted your essays... not that it mattered much because you had to hand in a hardcopy anyway for no adequately explained reason.
This is definitely an extreme example since even the other English subjects I've done weren't this bad, but it's still symptomatic of some serious problems within the discipline that a couple of subjects in particular seem to fall victim to. I don't know whether Romancing the Medieval is one of these, and again, my experience with 3rd year subjects is that they are much more organised, but you may have to have quite a bit of patience to get through it.
On the plus side, based on its handbook details, the subject it seems most like is Gothic Fictions, which was excellent; and it looks like you'd be studying a few texts over a few weeks, rather than the one-per-week system in most of the other subjects. Plus, the fact that you only have two essays plus some class participation means you'll have a fairly light workload excluding the amount of reading (which can all be done over the Summer, or Winter since it's a Sem. 2 subject.) If you really wanted to, you could try doing what I've done a couple of times at the beginning of Semester and get a feel for the lectures and tutes in the first two weeks. If it seems like it's worth sticking around for, then keep it, but plan to have another option or two up your sleeve, and do a little bit of reading up on each one before it starts just in case you want to switch.
I'm a tad disillusioned with the English department though, save for two or three good subjects, so I've tried to keep this objective but you may still have a totally different experience. If you're familiar with the English department so far then let that inform your decision :)
Just wondering, which 1st and 2nd year English subjects are decent? I'm not going to be an English major (I'm planning to do Economics and probably Philosophy) but I'm may do a few English subjects if they are any good.
ZOOL20004 Australian Wildlife Biology please :)
Gracias! :D
Anyone know much about 2nd year english/history subjects?
Hey guys I'm posting this in the unimelb chat board as well, but could anyone who has completed MAST30012 Discrete Mathematics please write a review (or message me your thoughts on the subject)? I can't find one and I'd like to know more about the structure and style of the subject, and stuff like whether lectures are recorded or not.
Thanks!
I just wrote one.
Anyone know much about UNIB20012 Water for Sustainable Futures?
Deciding between that and one of the music and health/psychology subjects.

There are a couple inter micro reviews on the review thread but I am also very keen for a business finance review if someone could do one :P
EDIT: oh there's just 1 inter micro review, my bad!
The review page hasn't been fully updated yet. The user Amity wrote a great BusFi review on page 30 on the reviews thread.
My personal recommendation is to do BusFi in sem 1. The MST and exam in sem 2 seemed way harder than the ones given in sem 1. Joshua Shemesh is also a pretty good lecturer, assuming he teaches in semester 1 again like he did in 215.

hey spec, did you do intro macro by any chance? i'm considering doing it as a breadth. how did you find it? any other commerce subjects that you found interesting? i already did intro micro and finance this year.yeah man i did intro macro. it was a pretty good subject, it was kinda difficult but you learn pretty interesting stuff if you put in the effort to conceptually learn it. i really enjoyed it. if you did vce eco it is pretty reminiscent of that in parts. alot of people dont like the lecturer though but i thought he was an ok lad but i also thought the micro lecture was cool too which alot of ppl disagree with. overall good subject and interesting content. it probably wont help you as much in your professional or personal life as much as micro or finance but it will make you a better voter and will make you be able to read pretty much any economic article and fully understand what is going on. if you have 1 more level 1 breadth space and wanna do a comm subject id definitely reccomend macro over management. cant speak for marketing but people generally enjoyed that one.
Hey Melbourne Uni Students,
Has anyone done Ancient Greek for arts or breadth I would like a review please? I have a Greek background but not fluent in any way. Is it similar to Modern Greek in any way?
Could someone please write a review of BCMB30010 Advanced techniques in molecular science? (the previous review has gone missing)
XD very funny Mr T-Rav!
challenging as in you have to put a lot of work into it, or difficult to understand? I'm majoring in physiology but thinking about doing BCMB30010 because i have an empty slot and did biochem and BCMB20005 (i haven't done any of the level 2 subjects for any other majors besides physiology and human structure - so I'm a bit worried about doing e.g. level 3 neuroscience when i haven't done any similar subjects in the past
Anyone with experience of 2nd/3rd yr history subjects could you please msg me? (:plz if someone does this post it up here i am also thinking of doing one of these as a breadth
Hi, if anyone could do PSYC10003 - Mind, Brain & Behaviour 1 that would be great. Cheers
I've reviewed it! see if you can search the other thread for the review- some of them aren't pinned to the first page
Probable a long-shot, but it would be amazing if someone could review/provide opinions on the following subjects:
Japanese 1/2 (mixed reviews?)
Any 2nd year Philosophy subjects like PHIL20043 History of Early Modern Philosophy, PHIL20038 Nietzsche and Critics or PHIL20041 Phenomenology and ExistentialismI haven't yet done any 2nd year Philosophy subjects myself, but I've got a friend who's done almost all of them, and apparently they're all very well taught. I'm making my way through this vimeo series that's meant to complement PHIL20030: Meaning Possibility and Paradox, which seems to overlap a bit with the Phenomenology one. I don't know any of the coordinators for the ones you've listed, but the department in general is one of the better ones in Arts.
Anyone know anything about;Total War has been reviewed once here and seems decent. Don't know anything about Rebels and Revolutionaries except that, like Philosophy, the History department has a pretty good rep aside from the fact that they're apparently super strict about referencing.
HIST20060 Total War: World War II
HIST20065 Rebels and Revolutionaries
ENGL20020 Romanticism, Feminism, Revolution
GEOM20013 - Applications of GIS. The internet is silent on this one.Thinking about doing it this semester as well, though a bit concerned about the large portion of group assignments…(Got horrible experience in group assignments last year ???)
Philosophy:The Big Questions (PHIL10002), The Global Environment (EVSC10001), From Graffiti to Terrorism (CRIM10001) and Data Analysis 1 (MAST10010) reviews would be really awesome if anyone had the time.Hey I've just reviewed Data Analysis 1 here, feel free to PM me if you have any other questions about it.
Hi!
Could somebody please review Sex, Gender and Culture: An Introduction?
Will be giving a review of the infamous QM1, it was an interesting semester to say the least.
If not, I'll keep them and write abridged reviews that just describe the basic feel of the subject to aid in quick elective-choosing, I guess.No no, definitely keep the details!! And as you say,
Maybe the trick is to use spoiler tags and a tl;dr summary to make them more approachable?just so it's more friendly for someone to navigate the page haha (either to other reviews or to different sections of your reviews)
LMAO you make me feel bad because my reviews are longer and contain war and peace about how my mental state was during the semester. Having read yours I personally think it's fine, but I'm someone who sets time aside to read the subject reviews in detail. I can't comment on what other people do with the reviews and whether or not making them shorter will be more useful.

Does anyone want reviews for botany or zoology-type subjects? Note I won't be able to review Field Wildlife Bio, Exp Marine Bio, Evo/Human Condition, or Applied Ecology, and I'm not doing Veg Management for my botany diploma cos I'm an idiot.
Has anyone done INFO20003?
Hi Levilamp, could you do a review for BOTA20002: Plant Biodiversity?
Would be much appreciated :)
Yep, sure :) I did it in 2014 but I'll try and remember the specifics! Apparently it hasn't changed much since then.
Has anyone done Database Systems?

I just posted a review for CHEM20018. Does anyone know how to link this to the 'index' page. Also, could someone please tell me how to link the subject name to the handbook.
Thanks :)
Don't worry about linking to the front page; that's something myself or another moderator will take care of :)
To link the subject name, fill in the following:
[u rl=post the url for the handbook page here]CHEM20018 - Chemistry: Reactions and Synthesis[/url]
^doing that on the forums lets you post a url but edit the text so I can link to something random like this
If anyone has time, could a review of PHYC20013: Laboratory and Computational Physics 2 please be made? I'll be taking this subject soon and would like to hear what it involves.
Thanks in advance! :)
Unfortunately, you'll be part of the first ever cohort, as it's a new subject this year!
You might find some info about the labs in parts of previous PHYC20009/10/11 reviews, but the 'computational' side will probably be new stuff, and even the labs will probably be pretty different as they're literally ripping all labs out of the old second-year physics subjects and making them into their own subject, so I imagine things will change.
Can someone do a review on PHYC20011 Electromagnetism and Optics?
Im considering on taking another physics subject but I didnt do so well in 1st yr phy1 &2. I was wondering if this subject is quite broad like the two above?Or is it a new subject?
Hi,
I made a review for CHEM20018 on 20 July 2016, but there doesn't seem to be any link on the index yet. Is there some way that I can link it?
Thanks :)
Ahh, that's my bad! I haven't updated the first post since the end of last semester - thank you for the reminder! :)
This is probably a long shot cos I don't think there are many psych people on here, but has anyone done PSYC30018 - Neuroscience and the Mind or PSYC30013 - Research Methods for Human Inquiry? Would be massively appreciated if someone would be able to share their thoughts on those, or knows someone who did them.
Thanks heaps in advance!
Hey, I'm a psych person *comes out of lurking and waves hands in air*. I did RMHI this year and just posted a review in the subject reviews thread if you want to check it out. Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions or anything about the subject. :)Thank you so much! Your review is super comprehensive, that's really helped me a lot haha. The handbook is pretty vague so it's good to get a solid idea of what to expect in terms of the content and assessments. Cheers again! :)
Hi, if anyone has done Sports Economics, please review it ;D
it looks interesting haha :P
If anyone has done ITAL10008 - please review-- really appreciate it! :))))
Principles of Neuroscience (NEUR30003) and Astronomy of World history (HPSC20015) please!
Hi Lauren, did you ever do genre fiction or decadent fiction and would you recommend? Thank you!Super delayed reply, soz, but I have done Genre Fiction and found it decent - will add full a review soon!
Is French 3 entry point a big jump from high school French?
Also how much is the workload?
It really shouldn't be. French 5 is suitable for those who did reasonably well in high school French.
In terms of workload, it's all relatively. Language subjects can be challenging, but French 3 should be fairly breezy if you've just finished VCE French.
I agree with vox. You should also keep in mind that many people doing French 3 have only learned French for <1 year of their life, by doing 1 and 2 at university. Logically, if you've been doing it since year 7 (or whenever you started), then you should be a fair cut above. Best of luck.
Has anyone done FNCE1002: Principles of finance?it's a new version of the subject FNCE10001 and it is just starting this coming semester.
Any third year economics major reviews please?
Sorry if this has been asked before. CHEM100009 Advanced Chemistry for the Biosciences.Just look at the biomed's CHEM10006. They're basically the same. It's simply CHEM10006 delivered to science kids with the same lecturers. But when i did it, it was held at an 8am time slot
I was thinking about doing this last year and this year but they restructured the major this year so that you can do any 2 ECON subjects and any 1 ECOM subject for the major. Also I heard they drastically changed 3rd yr Micro this year (thank fuck) and made things less mathsy.
If you got any general questions regarding the major I’ll be happy to answer them in the thread or via PMs
Just wondering could someone who has taken CLAS30004 Intensive Beginners Latin before provide some insight and review in terms of workload, subject structure and difficulty? Is it suitable for someone who has no background in Latin at all?
Thanks in advance :)
Could someone please do a review on UNIB10006UNIB10006 has two reviews under the 'University Breadth' part of the subject review thread
Thanks!
