MUTTS Tutorial:(Obviously guys, I did this in 2010... wherever there are any references to 2010, just assume I'm talking about the current year for you guys... the year is wrong because I'm quoting this from elsewhere in the forums, but I didn't want the quote box for this one since it'll make it more difficult to read.)
where do we go on MUTTS to generate this... major help@!!
I shall endeavor to explain, with the aid of paint
(ALL HAIL PAINT!):
Log in:
http://mutts.monash.edu.au/MUTTS/On the links on the right-hand side, click "2010 Timetable" and then click "View by Unit".
The next screen is a bit wtf, but:
1. Type in your unit code
2. Click on the SEMESTER 1 option for your unit code and click the arrow to move it across.
3. Repeat for each of your units.
When you've done all your units, scroll down and click the "View Grid Timetable" link.
You'll get this (which looks *completely* trippy):
These are ALL the times available for ALL of your units.
Go through and tick the check boxes for the tute/lect/lab/etc time you actually want for each of your units.
When you've done that, scroll all the way down and click "Rebuild with selection".
You'll get something much prettier looking, like this:
And voilą!
If you haven't decided your preferred timetable yet for some reason, you may find sorting through all the class times easier in the "View as Flat Timetable" screen instead. Pick your preferred times on this screen, click "Rebuild with selection", then click on the "View as Grid Timetable" to get the same result.
Ah, I accidentally selected both lecture time options for MKC1200... you get the idea though, right?
Only select your number one option for each unit's tute/lab/lect/seminar/etc... but if there are two parts to the same option (like, in this example there's two-part AFC1000 lectures), be sure to select *both* parts.
Hey Fyrefly, picking our timetable is just putting in preferences right? MUTTS is just something to help us yeah?
Yeah, just something to help... it doesn't actually do anything.
Personally, I don't like MUTTS and don't use it... but it's not too painful for me to show others how to use it if they so wish to.
The only thing I find favourable about it is that it lists all class locations (Allocate only lists the ones the unit coordinator has bothered to type in). For instance, I know this semester that my back-to-back tutes are wonderfully nearby this semester and I'll merely have to drift from Menzies East Wing to West Wing... last semester I had to constantly leave my macro tute early so I could get across to my Jap tute on time (which was... strangely, in one of the med buildings).
