It’s
so bizarre to me how efficient this school is. OWU was technologically
challenged. They didn’t even have online scheduling until my schedule semester there.
Yet Macquarie manages to not only organize their complicated system of
lectures, tutorials, and practicals, but they have it all online for students
to arrange their schedules as they deem fit at any time.
In
addition to having the schedule online, every lecture is recorded and put onto
a website along with the course guide (or syllabus) for each class and
information regarding the upcoming readings for your tutorials. There are also
special sections on this website for online discussions, which are optional but
generally have a high participation from what I’ve seen due to the high amount
of external (or online) students.
I’m
still amazed that if I miss a lecture I don’t have to bother asking to borrow
someone’s notes. I can just go online and listen to it whenever I want as early
as two minutes after the original in-person lecture ended. It makes me really
wish that I had unlimited wireless internet in my room. It would be so useful.
I
think I’ve finalized my schedule at this point. I had to do a little bit of
moving around because certain classes weren’t what I expected, but here’s what
my schedule looks like for the semester:
