Thanks!
Edit: I just looked over my term 1 timetable. The timings for the chem L07 and T07 on thursdays overlap. :S Is that a conflict? |
Term 1:
It's only a conflict when it shows up as orange. If it's green, you're fine. The tutorial and lab overlap because they're EOW (every other week), so they alternate from one week to the next. One week you'll have a lab while the next you'll have tutorial in the same timeslot. I don't advise you to take a chem morning lab. Also, Thursdays with 2 labs will be really hectic, especially if they happen to fall on the same week (you won't know if they do until the first class). Just to be safe though, I suggest moving your Kin lab to Wednesday after the math core and moving the chem lab to Tuesday afternoon. In that case, I would also move the Psych core since it'll be right before it, but also to avoid that 1-hour break between Psych and your Kin core.
Oops, forgot Term 2:
2 labs in a row on Wednesday is nowhere near ideal, so I would definitely change that. Maybe move your Chem lab to Thursday afternoon instead. Also, 6 hours of class in a row on Tuesday is a little too much especially with an 8:30 class before them. I would move the Psych 1XX3 core to Friday and move your Kin tutorial an hour later. Your kin tutorial is just a 20 minute quiz so it doesn't even last the full 50 minutes, so you might want to keep that in mind. Also, I would change the Psych tutorial so that you have 4 hours of class in a row on Tuesday instead of 6.

K, i got around to fixing term 1 - but I'm a little scared for Term 2.
Here's what it looks like:

Do you think it'd be a good idea to move Psych 1XX3 T65 (on Thursday) to Monday just under its core (timings:1:30 - 2:20) considering that Kinese labs rnt that hard n there isn't much to prep for. That way I'll have my evenings free.. n then I'm also looking for an opening to move the chem L/T for either Tuesday or Thursday. Any feedback ?
Thanks  |

Hi, can anyone advise me on my Term 1 Life Science schedule please? There are no conflicts, and it looks pretty good to me but I'm wondering if maybe I have missed something and someone in year 3/4 could offer some advice. Thanks!

It looks pretty good overall, but I just have a few comments on a few things. I'm not sure if Enviro Sci labs are always ahead of lecture material, but just to be on the safe side, I suggest moving it to later in the week, maybe Wednesday 8:30 (L09). Also 8:30 class on a Monday is not ideal, for me anyway! Another thing is your Tuesday schedule. Having 5 classes in a row is a little too much, especially since your chem lab is on there too. I suggest moving your Psych 1X03 core/tutorial to another time since it never finishes early so you'll be rushing to get to your lab. Maybe move it to before your chem core on Tuesday as well? Or since your Monday is a little lighter, move it to before or after your 2 classes on Monday afternoon. (after would be better: Monday at 3:30- since JHE and PC are really close!) That way, you can watch the lectures on the weekend and be ready for your Psych tutorial on Monday.

How's my timetable?
The only thing I'm thinking of changing is to move the chem labs later in the week instead of having them on monday. |

Definitely move your Psych tutorial to Monday! It'll free up your evenings (I hated night class). Also, since you'll be done so early in the day, it'll be really inconvenient to come to class like 7 hours later! And like you said, Kin labs aren't too bad! As for your lab situation, I suggest moving Bio 1M03 to either Tues or Thurs and Chem to the other one. It'll be really difficult to have Physics labs followed by something, unless they happen to fall on alternate weeks which might work out. If you choose to do so though, have Physics followed by Bio, not your Chem lab!

Term 1-
Monday labs aren't ideal, unless you end up in the second week of labs (you won't find out till the first week of school!). However, looking at the other days, Monday is your best bet. I was thinking it might be better to move it to Thurs. I'm not sure how hectic Physics labs are, but Physics lab followed by Chem labs in a row wouldn't be ideal. So I think this is your best bet, especially since you minimized your 1-hour breaks so that's definitely a good thing!
Term 2-
Maybe move Chem labs to Tuesday afternoon? That way, Chem labs won't be preceded by 2 classes. Also, move your Psych core/tutorial to another time so that you have a decent break before your lab (that's really secondary though). I really like this term overall though, it's a little more compact and you have a few early days !

^ I could see your MacID#. You might want to edit that post and change the attached pictures.

Hi Can someone look over my life sci schedule? It's pretty typical I guess and I couldn't really move anything w/o creating conflicts so I'm basically stuck with what I got assigned. 
Here it is: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images...timetable.png/
Q1. Should I move my psych core to 16:30, which is an hour after the KIN lab? I don't want a 3hr lab and then have to deal with psych right after.. but I'm not sure if it even matters
Q2. I noticed the huge gaps in time between classes, will that get annoying or is it beneficial in a way?
Any other advice would help & if you think anything should be moved then please tell me  Thanks! |
