Timetable

**Updated 10/3 at 5.15 (Teusday->Tuesday)
**Updated 9/3 at 3.03 (fixed the link - it should now download just by clicking it)
**Updated 9/3 at 2.55 (implemented Sophie's corrections)

This is kind of a spin off from the post Nikki started, but I think it will be easier to manage edits and updates if it has it's own post (as you cannon edit comments).

Just to fill everyone in, a lot of us are having a bit of trouble with the time table that we were given on day one, mainly because of all the alterations we've been given and the rather static nature of physical paper (one piece can only handle so many edits). The (hopeful) solution is to maintain a regularly updated one online.

Just to let everybody know how I arrived at this (probably-not-so-correct) timetable, I entered in all of the times from the original timetable (that we were given on our very first day) and then attempted to change all the classes to those published in our student handbook (on the assumption that it's more recent date of publication would make it more correct). There were a few clashes, including Monday's clinical practice time (as published in the handbook) completely overlapping the following general studies class. I have since made a few alterations based on the recommendations of our our esteemed male class rep and have also decided to remover the multi-colour support whilst still in the editing phase (its just too much extra work, and if people really want the different colours they can use the font colour button on the format bar of excel)

Anyway I'm having quite a bit of trouble ironing out the creases, so any posts regarding corrections would be greatly appreciated (I'll try and add them on an almost daily basis)

Anyway here is the link:

**Disclaimer: please note that, while every attempt has been made to get this correct, it is more likely than not that I screwed it up badly. At the moment I believe the start times for each day to be accurate, as well as the finishing times for Monday-Thursday.

Good work Stu

Some minor errors

Humam Biology starts at 9.30 on Thursdays and finishes at 12-15 - 1230 to give you enought time for a break before you start the pm session.

Tuesdays Human biology session runs until 12pm, unless specified, eg if we have a long lab session or tute.

Wed am - as mentioned there will be CP resource sessions from time to time- Mignon will specify.

Hope that helps
Sophie

Thanks heaps for that. I've updated the file (so you'll all need to re-download it) and I'm now pretty confident that General studies and Human Bio are correct. I'll email Mignon and Katrina to check the times for Clinical practice and Dental and Health Science.

Keep telling me if there's errors, all feedback is appreciated.

Brilliant team work guys. Stu your idea of keeping it updated is brilliant and one that will be so helpful to everyone. I would like to nominate you as our timetable manager. Just what we need!!!!
Maybe you could include an important dates section eg assessments due etc.. You may need some suport here though, so that it doesn't become too time consuming for one person.
Most impressive !!!
