Could someone tell me the difference between Chemistry fundamentals, 1, 2 and Chemistry for Biomedicine? Thank you!

Fundamentals -> for those that haven't done VCE chemistry
Chemistry 1+2 -> for science kids
Chemistry for Biomedicine -> for biomedicine only.

Just to add, Fundamentals of Chemistry progresses on to Chemistry 1 and Chemistry 2. If you do well in Fundy, you can skip straight into Chem 2. God forbid you actually decide to put yourself through that, though - so much of Chem 1 is assessed in Chem 2.

What about content wise (sorry for not making my question more clear)?

If you go to handbook.unimelb.edu.au you can look up each subject, and see the topics that are covered.

Edit:
777th post.

Not sure about Fundamentals.

Chemistry 1's topics are beyond me, too.

I wrote a massive review on Chemistry 1 and 2 in the subject reviews and ratings section but I have to go just as I'm writing this. Will link it later if I remember. Over and out.

Stonecold what is your major now?

Still Micro & Immuno. :)
You are going to hate me but physiology was so annoying this semester. 
It was taught so bad that I got the lectopia links from the science kids and listened to Charles Sevigny pretty much all semester instead haha.
That guy is an out and out dead set legend.  If he taught physiology in 3rd year, then I'd consider it but with some of the current staff, no thankyou!!!

I guess you are doing physiology? :p

74 for Genetics (Turns out I completely missed an exam question worth 1.5% which would've made it a H2A) and 79 for Chemistry 2 (so close to a H1).

They've got to be the most painful marks to get - here's hoping I can get them bumped over the threshold when I get my exam checked.


You do not have much pain in your life, do you?  ;)

It wasn't too bad provided you are prepared to go ask for help when you need it

Unlikely to respond to any PMs these days.

Aw crap well I guess I'm never going to top another class again :3
I enrolled in Micro/Immuno as my major!  We're gonna be best buds/marks rivals/etc etc yayyy.

Haha, Charles <3 omg.  He's so dreamy! :333

I was considering switching into Physiology but idk D: Micro/Immuno seems more practical and I want to challenge myself. I really want to take Virology too!

Are H2A's good? Just got 3 of them and notsheriff want. Also are breadth's worth less in contributing to your GPA or w/e?
