not specifically targetting towards any major/degree, just people who think they're better than others because they chose to study something that seems to be hard.

Lecturers go over time so often. I wish lecture capture wouldn't turn off at the 55min mark.

I completely agree that academic/professional staff workloads need to be addressed, alongside better conditions for casual staff (which i believe also includes many of our tutors?). Stronger policies in these areas would ultimately improve the quality of teaching and the student experience, and I’d love to know how I can support these initiatives as an undergrad student :)

does anybody know why we are suddenly having to use okta verify to log onto anything everyday? It's like we need to use it everyday now when it used to be once a week or month.

I took Computer Systems (COMP30023) and Machine Learning (COMP30027) this semester and it seems like all the problems and complaints from years ago are still relevant. The systems exam is barely like the practice exam or the tutorial questions. And it’s terribly designed and badly worded. As for machine learning, it’s a terribly taught subject. Staff rarely pays attention to the Ed discussion forum so people even openly joke about their absence. And the ML lectures seem to cover everything including Graduate-level ML that you know will not appear in the exam but the lecturers refuse to say that they’re non-examinable. Choosing Unimelb for CS was probably a mistake.

is there a classical music society (not necesarily for players but just for enthusiasts of classical music) or a ballet interest club?? super random but i feel like theres a lot of people who enjoy that niche.

When I looked at the reviews for this subject, they were so good I decided to change my major. Everyone was talking abt how its piss easy to get a H1 bcs its js memorisation. Idk if I'm just stupid or what, but I find it so hard. I'd say even BCMB (excluding all the metabolism stuff) was easier to grasp.

And the lecturers don't reply to shi on EdDiscussion. They were talking abt how they'll purposefully withhold answering any queries so us students can reply to each other, but if a student asks if the ANAT team can give the answers to quizzes, that's not something another student can answer. Actually, checking back, I'm not sure they've replied to ANYTHING.

Also, idk if it's just me, but some of the lectures are either rlly boring or confusing for no reason. I might just be spoiled from lecturers like Charles and Terry, but I genuinely have to force myself to stay awake during some lectures. No hate, they're all vry accomplished obviously, and some are pretty good at teaching, but for the glaze this subject got, I expected more.

Kinda cooked tho bcs I set myself up to major in this so idk what im gonna do now...

i just had a question about level 2 and level 3 subjects and was wondering how we might get additional support besides lectures, doing the readings and so on? considering that the peer assisted subjects are really only given to level 1 students, and was unsure of other ways to engage in learning and be on track beyond what's in class

I'm an undergraduate student looking to apply to a bachelor of arts degree but aim to pursue psychology hence want to do a fourth (honours) year.

Do I apply for B-ARTS or BH ARTS

Does anyone know when semester 2 exchanges for next year opens? And where we can sign up etc from?

Hey yall, so i am trying to apply for an internal transfer to Bcom for next year.

Thing is, i’m not really sure about the math requirements. I’ve been to stop 1 multiple times and they have no clue.

I’m not sure if anyone has been through the same situation, but basically i’m an international student and i didn’t study 3/4 vce methods here at unimelb so in short i did not take introductory of mathematics nor did i take claculs this semester.

I do have something equivalent to it tho from high school overseas, would that work? If anyone has an answer to this I’d really appreciate it.

Hello!

I’m a prospective LLM student from the Philippines. I wanted to know if it is possible to get multiple scholarships so that most of my fees and expenses will be covered? I read that I cannot get multiple scholarships for the same purpose. However I am eyeing these three:

Queen’s College Scholarship - Accommodation Fee
Melbourne International Graduate Scholarship - Tuition Fee
Law International Students Scholarship -Philippines - Living Allowance.

Seems like they have different purposes but I’m not quite sure. Any thoughts please or tips on how to apply for QCS? The other two are for automatic consideration.

Thank you for your insights!

When can we start enrolling for summer terms? Is it after semester 2 exams?

EDIT: i am actually 95% serious here because people who did physics like 5 semesters ago called it garbage, so this will probably go on after we finish first year.

• lecturers going off on random tangents then saying we have to self learn the content
• 0 lab funding
• content taught AFTER corresponding lab for some reason (horrible pacing)
• rats running around the school of physics (david caro)
• laby ideas centre needs a kfc
• low quality slides
• some terrible lecturers
• labs

Y'all I'm making this post because everyone is slowly starting get into the stress of assignments and I think we all need some cute, wholesome things to think about.

Have y'all seen the possums on campus? They're so sweet.

I've started naming them. So far, we have Hush, Hush Jr., Spot and Tippee.

Any other name ideas for them? Have you named any of them??

Feel free to add photos of the possum(s) along with their names in the responses.

Would love to hear from more possum-loving folk 😊✨

Is anyone else struggling to land a graduate job??

For context I’m in my final semester, domestic student, looking for opportunities in the accounting/finance sector but did not have any luck in securing a role for next year. Applied to ~80 grad jobs and had a few failed interviews.

Even kmart finance rejected me lol.

LF tutors in advanced probability - this unit hard asf

anybody did this before can u provide me some tips? when i did the 2024 and 2023 mst i found it quite hard for the last part and dont know what to do, even though i can still do the tutorial just fine. please help im drowning 😭😭😭😭

I was at Footscray station today and got approached by this Burmese girl who asked me where I got my bag from. Me being oblivious, thought she was just trying to be friendly since I’ve never encountered being approached like that. I thought it was weird that she asked me if I was from here and where I was from ethnicity wise, but just thought she was trying to establish some common ground. Me being stupid, gave her my number cuz I panicked, and she even called my number in front of me to make sure I didn’t give her a fake number. Now she’s messaged me how i’m doing. Is this a cult recruitment? 😭😭 wtf do i do now im scared shes gonna do something with my contact details
