Mate, don't bias your picture. Look at UoM's response.

[alondouek]

pretty standard response, obviously UoM haven't yet recovered from being #tyrannosaurusrekt

I'm 90% sure about this, but S111 is Menzies South Wing, Floor 1, Room 111, right?

Daily library opening hours can be found here or alternatively the opening hours for the entire year can be found here.

just curious, how are the contact hours for B.Biomed, B.Sci and B.Engineering?

Speaking for first year BSc, let's say you did Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths. You'd probably come to 6+6+6+5 = 23 hours/week
This was two years back though (when I did first year), I think certain the advanced chemistry labs are 4 hours, and there are additional tutes or something. Of course, other units probably have different workloads, but these are probably the more common ones

All biomed units are 6 hours contact per week, and you'll be taking 3 per semester in a single degree;

6+6+6+(elective, so between 2-6 usually)= 20-24ish per week.

Biomed double degrees usually have 2 units per semester from biomed, so that's 12 pw + whatever your other degree contributes.

Exam timetables out soon guys! If you're lucky enough to have a friend on staff, you can find out the tentative timetables earlier as well.

[achre]

Yeah, they're on WES
I have two on the same day at the same venue 3 hours apart. It's going to be like the UMAT all over again.

Well looks like I've drawn one of the shorter straws this semester.

First exam on the second day (Don't think I've ever had an exam the first week,... well maybe one), and finished all 5 by the end of the second week. The annoying part is going to be rushing from Clayton after Physics for the computational exam at Caulfield in the afternoon. Oh well, there will always be that poor student who has 4 in the first week, time for me to start cramming I think.

[alondouek]

eh not too bad in terms of timing, massive luxury to live in Caulfield hahahaha. That BMS2021 paper is going to be a massive fucking bitch though

[vashappenin]

Is this bad?? I'm just happy that the stats subject is first so I can get it out of the way..
