2022 University Unit Selection Thread

Sine

What units did everyone complete in the first semester and what are you studying in the second semester?

Sem 1:
CHEN20010 - Materials and Energy Balances Really enjoyed the content and delivery of this subject but the final exam ended up being much harder than previous years so didn't do as well as I expected to
CHEN20012 - Fundamentals of Chem Eng Great introductory subject to chem eng, lecturers did a great job being engaging and interacting the class making it a great learning semester.
CHEM20018 - Chemistry [Elective] Found the lectures for this to be so draggy and boring, was hard to know what was expected from us in terms of knowledge. Nonetheless, I enjoyed doing independent study for this
CHEM20011 - Environmental Chem [Elective] Really enjoyed the assignments and practical side of this subject but the content was delivered in a very boring way. Easy subject and was worthwhile doing!

Sem 2
CHEN20011 - Digitisation in Process Industries - Not entirely sure how this subject will go since it is entirely computer based (not content based) so I hope it turns out ok.
MAST20029 - Eng MathsExcited to be doing maths again but also very worried since I never do well with maths subjects
ENGR20003 - Eng Materials [Elective] I chose this subject since I heard that the chemistry subject running this semester is very difficult, and there was no other relevant electives. Some of the content seems interesting but it is a structural engineering subject so I am not sure how I feel about this.
MULT20011 - Sci Comm and Employability [Breadth] Seems like a useful subject and happy to have a subject that is skills based and not knowledge based. Worried for assignments since it is mostly writing.

Excited to see everyone elses!

First sem:
PSY3181 Human neuropsychology: Developmental and neurodegenerative disorders This was a really good unit as the content and assignments had a very clinical focus. This unit gave me the most understanding of what neuropsychologists/psychologists actually experience in their day to day jobs.
PHY3181 Hormones and Reproduction One of the best units I've done, I loved all of the content and the lecturers/unit coordinators seemed like they wanted to really do their best to help students learn.
MTH2132 The Nature and Beauty of Mathematics Really cool content and engaging lectures and I found it fun to do maths after not doing any for so long and I think my brain needed it.
PSY3041 Psychological Testing, Theories of Ability and Ethics I found it on the more bland side for psych units as mostly about how testing is used in different settings.

This sem:
PSY3062 Research Methods and Theory This has been my least favourite part of psychology but i'm trying to go into it open-mindedly because I watched the first lecture and the lecturer seemed really nice and was saying "EVERYONE CAN DO STATS" so maybe it will be not too bad. There's also a choice between learning R or just using JASP for the stats part and I'm slightly on the fence. I would have learned R as that would be necessary for honours but since i decided that I won't do honours next year I'm thinking I'll just use JASP which is easier (but also if i randomly decide i want to do research wouldn't be as useful).
PSY3120 Introduction to Counselling This class seems so far like it'll be useful just in life/self awareness. It seems more theoretical than practical however, but still interesting to learn.
PSY3320 Sleep and Circadian Rhythms I've been looking forward to this unit because sleep seems to come up a lot and I keep thinking once I get to 3rd year and do this unit i'll actually understand the sleep stuff more in depth. I've thought it seems like a large amount of time spent on this topic that's normally been covered in one lecture in the past, so i'm interested to know how in depth it'll be.
PSY3032 Abnormal Psychology I feel like used to be more excited about this unit, but maybe this has decreased since deciding I don't want to pursue psychology as a career. It still seems useful knowledge to learn though and maybe will be easier to learn as psychological disorders have been covered a lot throughout the previous 2.5 years.

In Semester 1 this year I did:
PHY2011 - Neuroscience of communication, sensory and control systems - I really enjoyed this unit and found that it was quite easy to do well in given the multiple attempts, practices and nice time limits
DEV2011 - Early human development from cells to tissues - Didn't really enjoy this unit and found the Cell profile report to be extremely stressful and annoying. Changed my 2nd major due to this unit haha.
UMH1102 - Contexts for mental health care - Bit boring but a very very easy unit

This Semester I will be doing:
DEV2022 - Human Anatomy - Extremely excited for this unit as I will be doing both animal and human dissections. Content looks really interesting and much better than DEV2011 already.
PHA2022 - Drugs and Society - Looking forward to this unit too since I heard it's fairly well run and the content does seem to be quite broad and be a good introduction.
PHY2042 - Body Systems Physiology - Content seems very interesting although I have heard it isn't run as well as PHY2032 (which I might do next year) so we'll have to see
PSY3320 - Sleep and Circadian Rhythm - Excited for this unit especially since I enjoyed the Sleep content from VCE 3/4 Psych and this is also my first Psych unit so am a bit nervous about how it's run but heard it is better than most Psych units at Monash

In Semester 1 I did:
MAST20009 Vector Calculus [Core] - Standard math subject; really useful for physics.
PHYC20013 Laboratory and Computational Physics 2 [Core] - Really enjoyed this subject with the experimental aspect.
PHYC20012 Quantum and Thermal Physics [Core] - Demanding subject where there is a lot shoved into a small subject but really rewarding to see how much you learn after completing it.
COMP20005 Intro. to Numerical Computation in C [Elective] - Considering this was my first programming language, it was hard. Useful for the experimental side of physics.

Now for this (hectic) semester:
PHYC20014 Theoretical Physics 2 [Core] - This will definitely be the hardest physics subject I have this sem. Really rewarding to take though so let's see how it pans out.
PHYC20015 Special Relativity and Electromagnetism [Core] - Really pumped to finally be doing this subject! Good content and so far so good.
MAST20030 Differential Equations [Core] - I'm not too sure how this subject will go but the content and presentation of it is good for now.
PHYC30011 Sub-Atomic Physics [Audit] - I HAVE WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS! I'm seriously auditing this subject for the knowledge needed for summer research. Relies heavily on past physics and maths subjects.
FLTV10010 Making Movies 1 [Breadth] - Good breadth and if you love movies or the production process of movies, this is perfect for you.
CCDP10003 Video Games Remaking Reality [Breadth] - Highly recommend! Really fun and engaging if you have a love for video games! Best breadth I've taken so far.
COMP20003 Algorithms and Data Structures [Audit] - Auditing this also because I once again need more knowledge on the experimental side of physics. Just like your average computing subject.

Hyped to see everyone else's subjects!
