606-302 Marine Botany and 606-361 Marine Phytoplankton of Australia
We are aware that many of you had problems when trying to enrol for 606-302 Marine Botany and 606-361 Marine Phytoplankton of Australia.
Happily, both the overloading and quota issues have now been addressed. Advisers in the Science Student Centre will be aware that our subjects can now be added to an eligible students’ enrolment without constituting an overload
If you wish to join us at Queenscliff this December, you should do one of the following:
- visit the Science Student Centre to complete a 'subject change' form to add either or both subjects (This form handles addition as well as change of subjects. Also note that SSC has just relocated to the Eastern Precinct, next to the Eastern Resource Centre (Map grid J19).)
- email via the Science Student Centre web site requesting the addition of subjects.
This year 606-361 Marine Phytoplankton of Australia, will begin Monday,
Nov. 30th and run until Sunday, Dec. 6th in Parkville (all day, everyday).
Lectures are at 8.30 am and 1.30 pm in the Turner Lecture Theatre in the
School of Botany. The pracs are in the Skylab, Natural Philosophy Building,
and include a lecture component of approximately 20 mins plus a two hour
prac class.
There will not be a prac on Sunday the 6th, so that students can
make their way to Queenscliff for 606-302 Marine Botany.
