*worries*

I'm a little concerned.

Have been looking on University Departmental websites for booklists and lecture timetables.

The Good News: If I opted for, as I intend to, Celle&Developmental, Pathology and Plant/Microbial Sciences, I would have no lectures earlier than 10am. Which is GOOD.

The Bad News: If I took those three subjects, I can't see any way the Cell&Developmental pracical classes wouldn't clash with either a Pathology lecture or a Plant Sciences one.

That combination of subjects doesn't look particularly outlandish to me. In fact, it seems quite sensible for someone with an interest in microorganisms, viruses and genetics. I was under the impression that all combinations of subjects were possible, within reason, so WHY doesn't this one work, I wonder... Or have I missed something here? ^^

They had better work this one out...

Do it. They will hopefully rearange practicals (maybe 1/2 one day 1/2 the other?). There were huge problems with people takeing chem A and advanced physics this year... but they figured it out eventually. If your schedules clash *tell someone*, tell *lots of people* (staff people)... and it will get sorted.

I did this combination of subjects last year and the practicals work out fine - the plants dept knew that people would come in an hour late and they gave us separate talks... you just don't get an hour lunch break. It's actually more annoying for those who don't do path because they have to wait for everyone else before summary talks etc are given. Plus each MCB group is split into two, one starting at 11 (clashes with plants lecture) and one at 1 or 2. Hope this helps.

Thank you, that's reassuring :D Missing a lunch break...hmmm, not great, but I can live with it, I guess.

I'm glad they can make it work. That means I can do what I want to do, hooray!

Very helpful, thanks!
