Monash General Chat

[Lear]

Anyone know how to sync Monash timetable with Icloud calendar or google calendar?

And two seconds later, I figured it out.

Here's a link if anyone else needs it.

Passing on a reminder of Monash StalkerSpace:

Funny thing is I’ve got the card but I can never seem to get a tertiary myki. Every time I get a tertiary it seems to switch to a full fare after a week which is quite a pain rn

I don't think I've ever bought a tertiary Myki card per se. You can get the tertiary concession card (the one from WES), then buy a concession Myki (or use the one you have, if you have one already) and pay for a year on that or use the Myki Money/ Pass functions and top up as usual. The smaller $9 card effectively means you can avoid the fines if any PSOs question your eligibility for using a concession card.

I lost my myki last year and the people at the nearest station (Newport) issued me with a tertiary concession myki instead a general one, they definitely exist

I'd contact myki/the nearest staffed station @Springyboy because that's super odd

Yep don't worry I just fixed it - it's because my old Myki broke down as I was holding it the wrong way and they replaced it for a full fare Luckily it's fixed for now, hopefully all the money from my old Myki transfers over.

these live streams of lectures are a good idea but haven't been working too well for me - a lot of buffering and lag (which doesn't happen too often on my laptop)

Yep same with me, that's why I'm trying to get the echo360 link's enabled for each of my units so I can watch them afterwards. 3/4 are currently enabled, just one to go which I'll hopefully get enabled at the lecture tomorrow which I'm going to.

Is there any capacity to ask questions or interact in any way while the lecture is running live?

If you stream via Panopto, there's a chat window, but these aren't usually monitored by the lecturers (I think there's like a 30-second delay as well). A few of my units last year did have "moderators" available in the chat window to answer any questions though (or pass those questions onto the lecturer if possible).

So with the good ol public transport system being an absolute mess in April, I have decided to drive to uni.
How hard is it usually to get a parking spot in the N1, 10 research way car park if one is paying for the all day metered parking?
I've noticed the allocation to metered parking (in pink) is quite small https://i.imgur.com/UKjjPMq.png so am concerned I won't get a spot despite being willing to pay the enormous 12 bucks a day for it.

There's usually plenty of spots available. Everytime I've driven to uni I usually park at Monash Sport, and on the rare occasions that I park at N1 I've normally found a spot in metered parking. You'll definitely get a spot, and if not you can park in Monash Sport as an alternative.

Sorry for the double post, but need to PSA: Anyone who's in the Business & Economics faculty and has got a mid-semester test this semester: Your mid-semester time, room allocation & venue are all out on WES under exam timetables or accessible here.

Hey guys! I'm the creater of the old MoodleHero! Just letting everyone know, MoodleHero is now called UniBoard.app and can be found at https://uniboard.app/

If you're not a fan of the new Moodle, I'd love it if you guys could give the new extension a shot!

How's everyone feeling about week 5 & semester in general?
