I made another thread about this question since I did not see the Monash thread. Worth asking again, eh?

Anyone studying in Business faculty successfully enrolled into one of the Business programmes despite not taking Math for their A Levels? I really, really want to study Management and International Business but they told me that a good grade for A Level Economics simply won't cut it.

Is there really no way to appeal, or has anyone been successful in doing so?

Will I be completely lost as far as subject planning is concerned if I don't attend the first day of orientation? I don't really mind the boring-ness, but I'm planning to skip the entire thing to attend intensive Japanese classes, really.

I transferred from UniSA to Monash last year. Got about 7 exemptions.

Thanks for the link. Hmm, I don't really see anything crucial in the timetable. As far as the systems go, they've already taught us about WES and Allocate+ around 2 weeks ago. Unless I missed something else here, could someone highlight to me what is so important about the orientation?

Seems like it's mostly about briefings and workshops, and based on my experience of past orientations, I tend to forget all that within weeks.

I registered in November, but I've yet to get any offer letter posted to me. Well, I printed out the one they scanned and emailed and it turned out fine, but still...

Anyway, when will the timetable be generated?

Bbuss Com 2224. We're the same aren't we?

Also, I did pick. Allocate+ wasn't it? I read something about them only generating the timetables later?

Bagero lah, on Wednesday, my timetable has a 4 hour gap. What to do?! And it's impossible to rearrange the timetable since all law tutorials are full. Someone please tell me this is just a temporary problem.

If nothing can be done, then could someone please tell me the available, comfortable spots to sleep on.

Got the same problem, here. My timetable says that my tutorial starts on the 1st of March. But it's pretty standard for Australian universities to only hold tutorials in the second week, right? At least, that's how it was during my time in UniSA.

So anyone else from BBuss Comm 2224 having tutorials this week? It's so strange to have tutorials without going for lectures first. Oh well.

Taking MGW1010 too. Tempted to make up my own bullshit. This interview thing is really stupid and unnecessary, imo.

So geng can get 8TV boss? I thought all those CEOs are always busy!

Haih, I'll just attach someone's business card and then answer the questionnaire myself.

Depends, I guess? It's rather similar to what I experienced in Taylor's UniSA business program, difficulty-wise. Well, maybe a bit tougher in terms of assignments since the lecturers/tutors here aren't allowed to help you out at all, it seems.

Also, seems like this thread is mostly used by students of the sciences! Where are my Bbuss Comm homies?

Joined the anime club also. Too bad by the time I got there, the girls manning the booth were probably too tired to 'pujuk' people to come join. I signed up anyway.

Tomorrow I don't have any class, but I'll probably go to the uni again and check out more clubs. The aikido one seems cool.

Hey guys, I need advise. Has anyone here tried overloading a semester before? Or does anyone know someone who has? Please help me out, thank you!

Thanks for the reply! I need to know a rough description of the difficulty of overloading. I realize that it can differ greatly from one student to another, but there has got to be a yardstick I can depend on as an estimate. For these people you know, how did they find it? E.g:

-Is it possible to score 5 distinctions in a semester, provided you put in major effort? (ie. minimal leisure activities, minimum of 5 hours a day of revision). Is this only possible for *extremely* talented and intelligent students?
-Would very early preparation make the above achievable, ie hardcore revision right when the semester starts?
-How hectic is it, in regards to really score during an overload semester? Is dividing time in your life an absolutely pain?
-Effects on mental health, stamina and fatigue?

These are the questions I can think of at the moment. Thank you!

Well, I'm going to take summer class, but they only offer one subject relevant to my majors so I will still need to overload to graduate in time.

Thank you! So I need to be careful not to overload on all 5 3rd year subjects and I should be fine, right? What were your friends' majors? I'm planning to go Management/Business Law, and although I'm quite interested in these, I'm afraid I might not have what it takes to overload. Time division shouldn't be too hard right, and your friends didn't end up all tired and stuff every week?

Thanks, Monya. I think I'll go for an overload with a mix of year 2 and year 3 subjects then. I hope this will work, and wish me luck!

And congratulations, yezhacolic!

LOOKING FOR CAPABLE SENIORS FOR THESE SUBJECTS:

INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
TRADE FINANCE AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE

Sorry for the caps, but I need to find seniors who could do these subjects very well. Please let me know if you're among them, or if you know people who fit such a description. Thank you, fellow Monashians! I'm counting on you!

I'm very bad with numbers, and one glance at the syllabus made me realize I will need extra help. T_T

I assume you've graduated, though? So you won't be able to tutor or something?

Ah, that's too bad. You'd make a cool tutor too. Did you go straight to MBA?

Also, if anyone else could tutor me on Trade Finance and Exchange and/or International Financial Management, please PM me! Or if you could introduce someone, that'd be great too! Paid, of course!

Haha, this time Trade Finance will be taught by Dr Grace Lee. She's kinda okay I guess. Do you know any scorer who did this subject? And it would be great to have you tutor me in IFM! Just want a D if that's possible. I just need major help with the mathematical parts.
