It's either:

Lec3 at Tue 09:00 - 11:00 (Weeks:1-7,8-12), Thu 09:00 - 11:00 (Weeks:1-7,8-12) - Lecturers Angell and Mak

OR

Lec1 at Tue 16:00 - 18:00 (Weeks:1-7,8-12), Wed 16:00 - 18:00 (Weeks:1-7,8-12) - Lecturers Britz and Pahor

Taking Lec3 means I can go home early on Tuesday and Wednesday..However, taking Lec1 means I have late days from Mon-Thurs (finishing 5-6pm) - is it worth it just because of Pahor?

Hahaha..I forgot about the tutorial..oops..lol..so..its 5 days then...5 long daysss...
Fairly standard, unfortunately.
2 hour lectures in consecutive days from 4-6? good luck trying not to fall asleep in them lol. but you made the right choice. britz and pahor are excellent lecturers.

don't worry, it gets better in your second year, only 3 long days lol

Go to Paho's lecture for the algebra part and go to Tisdell's lecture for the calculus part, this is what I would do if I could go back in time to first year

and you're at uni 5 days a week anyway
So..you mean..:
week 1-7 - Tisdell?
week 8-12 - Pahor?

no in 1st year maths the first hour for instance is calculus taught by one lecturer then the next hour is algebra taught by another lecturer

or it could be the other way round

and Tisdell teaches calculus and Pahor teaches algebra
