STARS War

BiAnnual war for courses.

Tips & Things to rmb (notes for myself):
- Use google chrome. (for intu at least) (EDIT: 2018: USE FIREFOX? chrome doesn't work now)
- Use autofill passwords to save time in case of situations
- Use STARS planner - Plan 1 ) Core mods only , Plan 2) electives, mods etcs
- Click the "Submit to STARS" button on planner to check your system time and double check your registration date. (Alt way to check your date other than going through the admin link in Studentlink)

- Close the planner tab until the minute before your STAR WARS time. (so you won't suffer with having to relogin after the page expires.)
- Your page WILL expire.
- IT WILL. 

- Don't use "refresh" "f5" when the page expires - so far I don't think it works, friends have told me it doesnt work, etc
- Close tab and reopen planner from intu page (Autofill passwords to the rescue)
- CONFIRM your core mods

- then slowly, add in your electives. NO NEED TO RUSH
- Electives are not first come first serve, rather they are a waitlist that is then later allocated by the system randomly. (Seniors more priority though)
- have at least 3 elective options. 5 best.

Ay2Sem2 review

Modules taken Ay2Sem2 ('16/17):
BS2004 - MCB II
BS2007 - Immuno
BS2012 - Genetics and Genomics (under new profs from diff previous years)
BS2008 - EMCB
HW0228 - Scientific Communication II
Elective:
AAA18e - DRAWING (NIE)

This sem had too many written assignments, practically every week had a written assignment due during the second half. 
(details under read more)
UPDATE FROM AY3S1: content from bs2004 proves to be very very useful foundation for many future mods.  - like PTM and apoptosis.

Just.

I want to be able. To bake bread.
Bread that I can give my grandfather. Bread that my grandfather will like.
And I'm aiming to do that.
He and I share this love of bread and biscuits. It's something I have left. 
(sorry, personal post.)
