^Nice one! Is ATS3089 a new unit? Looks like exactly the type of thing I would have studied, but I don't recognise it at all.

Looks like it was introduced in 2013, but when I took it last year it came under new management; weirdly, it isn't running this year. Shame, it was a pretty engaging unit for my first taste of that area of study and most people seemed to like it too.

Applied econometrics is top notch! Lecturer's not too lax with the theoretical content even though it's supposed to be "applied". Would highly recommend this to anyone considering research in the Faculty of Business and Economics.
2018-2020: Bachelor of Actuarial Science (+ Econometrics), Monash
2021: Bachelor of Commerce (Honours), Econometrics & Financial Mathematics, Monash
2022-2023: Work and some soul-searching

This will be horrendous when I want to procrastinate by ranking all 38 (or 42 next sem) units I've done, which is why I totally haven't set a reminder to do this.

Indigenous perspectives: is important to know but the way it's taught is really boring. The lectures are from 6-8 on Monday nights and they repeat the same points sometimes each week. It's a 1st year course but it's also a high fail rate course (which they keep reminding us about which is a bit stressful).

M&S4: This ones the last theory unit and I haven't really enjoyed most of them. I like this one more than the ones last year, but this focusses on jazz theory and I haven't really played or listen to a lot of jazz music.

Performance Lab: I don't really enjoy my lecturer for this (which is annoying because I've had her since sem 2 last year) and I feel like most of the classes aren't structured well. The classes aren't very interesting or engaging sometimes which is really disappointing.

Compulsary attendance: I need to attend at least 80% of all music & education stuff. :(

Whats worse is I have a 5 1/2 hour break in between my morning class and the 6-8 lecture.

Will you be continuing with other German units in the future, or not feasible?

As part of my degree, I have to complete 24 UoC of one language so I complete the last part of that next term with Intermediate B. I wish I could do more but it just doesn't fit in my program after the compulsory 24 credits :-(
