how'd you go?

Better than I thought but not as good as I would have liked considering I need as much leeway as possible for the next assignment. But my aim was not to fail and I guess that was met (lol). Were you happy?

I'm thinking of maybe putting my first preference down as Bachelor of Commerce which will lead to a Masters in X Engineering, I hear that you need to maintain a 65+ score to get into the Masters...is this difficult? Can someone compare this to attaining certain scores in VCE? Also, O-week, will it affect me massively if I miss it?

Why a commerce degree when you want to do engineering?

You could do Commerce/Engineering at Monash if you wanted to infuse them.

Ideally would have liked a H1 but I don't know, I guess I need to look at the feedback..

I've come to the conclusion that I will not be choosing an arts breadth anymore.
2012-2014. BSc: Neuroscience. University of Melbourne.
2015-2018. Doctor of Optometry. University of Melbourne.

Unlikely to respond to any PMs these days.

Yea i would recommend a double degree if your passion is in engineering. Otherwise you would have to plough through tedious and boring commerce subjects for 3 years :P

Just wondering what people think of the physiology major??
and what jobs this can lead into ??

You can do a masters in physiotherapy and become a physiotherapist.


Is this the only thing???

Greatness

haha i'm doing the second assignment for microeconomics at the moment. Finished the case study but stuck a little bit in part A.

Any pointers?? Or where i could find more information about LR/SR effects and factors in the textbook?

Cheers
What are the LR/SR effects you're talking about? And what's the assignment about? I can't remember D: haha also I never bought/used the textbook for micro. But it's essential for macro since you pretty much get 0 notes, only what you copy in the lectures - most of which are graphs :/

1. Dr of Medicine
2. Dr of Physio
3. Dr of Dental
4. Honours in Physiology--->
5. PhD in Physiology---->
6. Research in physiology

And a multitude of other 'jobs' you can get with a physiology major, some of which have absolutely nothing to do with the health sciences. That's a very broad question really...
If you just want a Bachelor's degree don't do a Physiology major.

This is a really important point, many students from VCE don't really understand the different between Health Sciences (or Human Sciences) and Biomedical Sciences.

This is a really important point, many students from VCE don't really understand the different between Health Sciences (or Human Sciences) and Biomedical Sciences.

what is the difference ??

Biomedicical science is anything to do with biology and medicine.
Health Sciences are those which particularly deal with only one species in great depth; that is, Humans, as this is undoubtedly a very important part of general Biomedical Science.

Studying Animal Physiology will give you broad, sweeping views of Animals as a whole given that it's more of a biomedical science subject. Studying Human Physiology will give you much more depth than the physiology that you would study in AP, but it won't be nearly as diverse, given that you generally need to know more about humans specific functions rather than the finnicky details of snail respiratory systems, for example.

And what a terrible example it was, but you catch my drift ;)

Offtopic: I fucking love not having 2 of my normally 3 weekly pracs on the first week back. But I have so much bloody work to do and all I do is surf AN.
