Hey Don't Worry about that cause we get allocated the seminar when we are in the lectures. If you have read on the description column; all of those classes would say "Students will be allocated to seminars in week 1.". I'll most likely get the Wed 9.00am one lol. That's 6 hrs worth of lecture/seminar in one day :(

Geez I'm having trouble understanding the Web Enrollment for subjects in My student Admin. For "Enrollment: planned Subjects" tab; there is this area called "Listed below are the options you can choose from for your study plan. ".

It has Option 1: CBK90781- Major Choice (IT), Ver 1 48 pts
Option 2: CBK90782 - 48cp Major/2 sub-majors/Electi, Ver 1 48 pts
Option 3: MAJ03445 - Internetworking Applns Major, Ver 1
12 pts

I had no clue what to do so i just chose option 1. Can anyhow help me out what they each mean?..I'm planning on doing business info systems major atm and maybe perhaps doing internetworking as a double major if i'm unsucessful in transferring to business/IT :(

Option 1: Your major
Option 2: Your other major OR sub-majors OR electives
Option 3: The electives for your particular major

They should probably call them something other than "option", because it makes it look like you can only choose one of the three. However, you'll choose all three of these options, then specify what you want to do in each of them. Obviously, you only have a choice out of 4 in option 1, and probably about 5 in option 3, but in option 2, you'll have hundreds (seriously).

So yeah, just go through the Option - > continue process for all three options until you've planned out all of your subjects.

From memory, you only have 3 lectures. They'll be either group presentations or general course overview. In the first or second lecture, you'll have to write a mini-essay to decide what seminar you'll be put into.

Seminars are a lot different. They're like a 3 hour tutorial. You go in, practice writing skills, read papers on computer ethics (yeah... you'll focus on ethics a lot) and focus on skills that are supposed to help you better communicate. It's actually a lot like English.

If they haven't changed to course dramatically since last year, you'll have two essays, an individual presentation on a current IT-related news article and a group presentation on an IT career of your choosing (by that, I mean, out of maybe 12 careers).
