Review on any of the following would be appreciated (currently not reviewed)
1. Foundation of Modern Politics ATS1353
2. Terrorism and Political Violence ATS1701
3. Australian Government and Politics ATS1945

Thanks

These are all new units for 2015, nobody's done them. ATS1353 used to be Intro to Politics though, and it has the same coordinator, so that might be similarish though.

I believe Australian government and politics is a previous unit (or maybe it just really, really sounds like a previous unit).

I did CHM3941 in 2014. You'll probably notice that the labs for this subject (as for pretty much all of the major 3rd year Chem subjects) are listed as going for four hours.
I think that we had labs on 9 of the weeks (no lab on first week, last week, and one week in the middle). These were made up of a 3 week prac, 2x2 week pracs, and 2x1 week pracs. Previously, there used to be a third 1-week prac, but they took that out when I did it.

The labs don't necessarily match up with what you're learning in lectures. I think in your starting lab, you'll learn about working in an inert atmosphere, as some of the reagents you use actually react upon contact with oxygen and water. Also, you get to use the dry ice/nitrogen containers, required when you want to cool things to -78 degrees (or something like that). Your prac manual details what you have to do quite well, and should have a copy of key research papers at the back, for easy reference. You probably won't spend the full four hours on all weeks. Particularly on the multiple-week pracs, working efficiently means that you might be able to leave a bit earlier on the final week. I was probably the slowest person in my lab session, and there were still weeks where I left early.

The lab manual and Moodle have guidelines on how to write your lab reports. I suggest paying attention to the uploaded marking schemes on Moodle - there are specific marks allocated to a bunch of stuff, and unfortunately the lab demonstrators can't give you those marks if they're not in your report. The lab demonstrators are really nice people though. Also, you will probably be expected to look at some research papers and use their findings to help write your discussion in your lab report. Your lab manual will contain a list of suggested papers for each prac - these are well worth reading for an understanding of what is going on.

If you have any other questions, feel free to PM me or to post here!

Thank you Nerdgasm for your help

Is there anyone who can review:

ATS1111: Indonesian Introductory 1
ATS1112: Indonesian Introductory 2

I did it Year 9 and 10 but I seem to have forgotten everything I really enjoyed Indonesian but I don't know if taking up a language is good idea alongside my Biomed core units! Thank you so much!

Can someone please do a review of LAW4225 - Non-Adversarial Justice?

[achre]

Any thoughts on either of ATS2975 (Building Blocs: The European Union and the Asia-Pacific) or ATS3974 (European Security) would be appreciated

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if someone could provide a review on CHM2942 - Biological chemistry. Including details about the difficulty of assessment and its comparison to say CHM2911- Synthetic Chem. Looking at getting a minor in chem, interested in the overlap of biology & chem so thought this would be ideal. Probably will major in developmental biology, so not much point in doing CHM2922. If I was going to take CHM2911, I'd probably go with a Pharmacology unit.

Would be greatly appreciated!

Hoping someone could do a review on any of the third year microbiology units, and IMM3990?

I can't comment on the microbio units, but since IMM3990 is a research project, there's not really much different to any other research project - just as long as you have a good supervisor and pick a topic you're interested in. My advice is to ask a lecturer you liked the content of/liked as a person to be your supervisor - don't assume they have to say yes, of course, but they most likely will. If there weren't any lecturers you liked, just scroll through the honours handbook until you find a project that sounds cool.
