I think it's sort of like an app that allows you to interact with the lecture, such as giving answers to a question on the pp. I'm just wondering if it's ever been used for say quizzes that go towards your assessment or anything similar that would impact my wam.

For me that has all been done through google forms, mars polls or clickers instead. Id get t if and only if you're told to by a staff member or recent publication for one of your units.

I got an email a couple of days ago with a three page document of things I 'need to go to' for O-Week, spread over 3 days, all from the faculty of Engineering. Does anyone know whether I actually need to show up to any of them, as I was intending to just show up for one day.

If there's an introductory lecture for the course or something similar, I'd recommend going to that because a) you can meet people in your course and b) you'll probably get some handy info. If they're trying to make you go on tours of the library or something, you don't really need to go to that unless you want someone to show you around.

When you're submitting assessments and need to provide a student number, is this your student ID (the 8 digit one on your card) or the number in your email?

Student ID number from your card :) You can also check your number on WES.

You can find this information by Googling the course or looking in Monash's course finder. Here's the link for biomed: https://www.monash.edu/study/courses/find-a-course/2019/biomedical-science-m2003

Hi, this might be a dumb question, but do we need exercise books or can we just type our notes up? Also I’m guessing it might depend on the class? Thanks!

All personal preference. I haven't run into a unit or heard of a unit that specifically forces you to write or type your notes. In some units, it may be easier to do one over the other, though.

If I was accepted into Science/Arts next year (first year), would I be able to transfer mid-year into Science Advanced - Research given that I have not done Methods? The transfer page says this:
Quote
The minimum eligibility requirements for a course transfer are:

being a current Monash student (you must maintain your enrolment)
meeting the prerequisites for the new course
performing at an appropriate level in your current course
successful completion of at least 12 credit points of a Monash University course.
BUT I've seen posts on here suggesting that a transfer from Science to Biomed is possible after 6 months/1 year without having done Methods. Would it be the same in my case?

If so, what effect, if any, would a transfer have on course progression?
If the Science Adv. - Research is my ultimate goal should I just begin with a single Science degree?

Typically, when transferring, I see two types of scenarios: (1) you can bypass the prereqs if you transfer or (2) you have to complete an equivalent unit or some sort of bridging course prior to transfer. I think you've got the latter case in this instance, but I'd probably contact Monash to confirm this.

If so, what effect, if any, would a transfer have on course progression?
Would just mean that you might have to do things a bit out of sync since the BSci (Research Adv.) degree follows most of the conventions as the normal BSci, meaning that you'd have to do two first year science sequences and a maths/stats unit sometime throughout the degree.

If the Science Adv. - Research is my ultimate goal should I just begin with a single Science degree?
It's really up to you. I'd suggest you research the differences between the two degrees.

Probably a dumb question, but it’s possible to retake units, right? I’m pretty sure I failed the exam for one of my units which was required to pass the unit, and it’s a core subject for one of my minors. I tried adding it on WES, but it says this if I try searching the unit code: ‘This unit is already listed in your enrolment form or has already been completed and therefore cannot be selected more than once. Please submit your enrolment form or select another unit, or contact your faculty for further advice.’ I tried searching by faculty and whatever as well but it didn’t come up. I also tried putting in the unit code for a unit in a different faculty so it’s probably a WES thing? I know people have retaken units before and I can’t find any policy restricting it, but I’m not sure why it’s not working. Anyone know? I’m guessing it’s maybe because WES doesn’t know yet whether I’ve failed or not and won’t let me enrol in the unit this early. If I find out on July 15th whether I passed the exam, and WES let’s me enrol then, (the mid-semester took 2 weeks to get marks back but I don’t know if they’re taking longer for this one) I still have time to select my lecture/tutorial dates right?

When results day comes around, you should be able to add the unit in (as long as it's running again in the next semester) if you didn't pass it. WES still considers you to still be taking the unit, so you can't take it twice. The idea is you're meant to enrol in the coming semester on the assumption you pass all your units.

Allocate+ preferences close before results day, so if you change your units around after results day, you will be selecting classes during the adjustment period (opens 2nd July). The adjustment period is first come, first serve, so times you want may not be available.
