Engineer 1D04 tutorial to T13, or 14

All of that will allow you to finish earlier and not have a Friday morning tutorial.

I highly suggest these switches as well:

Engineer 1P03 tutorial to any of the tutorial slots at 14:30 on Monday, Wednesday, or Thursday to alleviate from your Tuesday.

Also Physics 1E03 to C03. I would definetly do that one as it would allow you to finish even earlier! Plus who doesn't want to get off at 2:30 on a Friday instead of at 4:30? The only sacrifice with that switch is that you gain 2 8:30 morning classes :/ I personally rather do my class work in the morning that later at night.

Hope that helps!
Awesome suggestions, thanks very much.

Except, 1P03 is a class that needs to be taken both semesters. I like my first semester except the fact that I don't have childs for math. Anyway to still make your suggestions work and keep semester 1 like it is, or better?

Stevenback7, I don't know what your semester 1 looks like. Plus, I thought you said you didn't want to switch math classes cause you like Childs. So I didn't suggest you switch any math classes. Maybe I don't understand what you mean.

Talon89, here are my suggestions:

Term1:
The only thing here I can think of is a double-edged sword. You can move the 3 physics classes up to 1:30 so you finish earlier, but you will have to take your chem lab which is every other week on Friday after your tutorial. Your choice.
Switch Chem 1E03 lab to L29,30,39, or 40
Switch Physics 1D03 to C01

Term 2:
Switch ECON 1B03 to C03
ENGINEER 1P03 tutorial to T09 or 10
Physics 1E03 to C02
ENGINEER 1C03 to C08
ENGINEER 1C03 lab to L18

This will end all of your days earlier including switching that pesky Friday afternoon tutorial. It will also start your days later with only Friday having an 8:30 class, and Tuesday having it as well but only every other week.

Your Tuesday isn't bad at all, only 3 courses...unless "wow" means that it's so good. I'm not sure :S

Hope all of that helps!

Talon89 says thanks to mitch for this post.

Sorry, sorry - I thought I had attached my semester 1 schedule, but apparently it was the second again.

If you see on the first semester (attached to this reply ) I don't have childs for math. But i'm fine with the proff. I currently have if switching it means my first semester isn't as nice as it is anymore.

I like your second semester suggestions, just need to get that 1P03 worked out to work for first semester as well.

Oh my god what have they done to your maths?

I had heard about that - did yo uguys not learn derivation in high school? Oh god, good luck... every year they try to change and 'improve' things and... well... youre te guinea pigs i guess O_O

us upper years will always be here to help you and fight for you, so dont worry too much!

(and yes, first year timetables are pretty much always insane, mine from first year: http://www.geocities.com/micadjems/g...NEschedule.JPG, http://www.geocities.com/micadjems/g...WOschedule.JPG.) Dont worry, we've all been there

Stevenback7,

If i'm not mistaken, all you need to do is switch Engineer 1C03 to C04 in first semester and then your Engineer 1P03 will switch smoothly in both semesters.

I especially love my Friday.
With the whole exhausting one hour lecture at 12:30.


So, I salute your little icon. That shall be a significant part of my friday nights.

Well your Tuesday has more courses, but every other day has the same amount of courses/labs/tutorials. When I compare the two, you finish much earlier with the changes. The only disadvantage is that you are given 4 8:30s instead of 2. Plus there are a couple less breaks. What do you think?

PS. No labs or tutorials on Friday I think is better

I like how I'm done at 2:20 for 3 of the days and how my fridays are pretty easy. I wish though that I had even just an half hour in the middle of tuesday and thursday to grab some lunch or something.

I prefer the 8:30 start up time, I start at 8:00 in high school. I just don't want my schedule to look like swiss cheese and have to be done almost every day at 6:20.
