How hard are the following courses:
COMP3702 - Artificial Intelligence
DECO2850 - Design Computing Studio 2
DECO3801 - Design Computing Studio 3
INFS2200 - Relational Database Systems

I think I’ve missed the cut off for adding an undergrad diploma alongside my degree, but on the uq semester calendar it says that the course addition/removal date doesn’t close for a while. Has anyone else been in this situation/can help/offer advice?

I've got a m4 macbook and was wondering what the experience is like using a mac for electrical engineering or any engineering specifically.

How much is the hassle for compatibility and is it worth getting a windows pc instead?

I am looking for teammates for the DECO3801 project. Currently, the group has four people, so I would like to find two more people. Our group currently has 2 machine learning, 1 programming language, and 1 no major. From the sounds of things, the project won't be super specialized, so any major will do. But some preference for people doing software engineering, data science, or cybersecurity majors to diversify the perspective during conversation and brainstorming. If you want to join, dm me.

Hey everyone,

I do engineering and about to graduate at the end of the year but am a bit unsure as to how to calculate the WGPA having done 8 units on exchange. I know on the UQ EAIT website it says as long as the units are passed on exchange you get credit and the GPA remains unaffected but how does this translate when calculating the WGPA.

My current understanding:

e.g. Engineering is 64 units, 8 units on exchange means 56 units at UQ for WGPA is it
sum(56 units * course weighting)/56 units?

Just wanted to check whether I can switch timetables with another classmate of mine. We're in different groups (so different times) but are in the exact same courses in physio

I’m very happy

The crow was on a light pole on the M1 southbound in the morning at around 06:10am

I also saw three helicopters

One had a NV and IR capability

even though i fell asleep at 3am, i woke up at 8:10am. my sleep schedule is officially fixed and ready for uni, i hope y'alls are too

Title is literally an understatement of how I feel

So I was feeling sick during the initial exam week so I deferred right as any normal person would. I heard rumours they make the deferred exams harder but I think to myself it can’t be that bad right? WRONG

the entire exam is F$@cking short answeR

WDYM SHORT ANSWER
I was promised 4 short answer with like 40 mc
Not this shit

MAN WTF

Never again I hate uq deferred exams

Long story short. I work for a community services peak body here in Brisbane and my boss is looking for a PHD Student at UQ who has the exact skillset we need for a data project related to violence prevention.

He did a data project at Brisbane Airport, mapping flight paths and times, that improved the efficiency of the airport. He was also apparently the President of an obscure sport at UQ.

Problem is, we have no idea what his name is. We have tried through all our contacts, emailed all the clubs to no response, trawled through event photos. No dice.

Anyone have any idea who this legend is? Even a name will do and we can chase him up from there.

Thanks!

is anyone else giving the deferred exam for this course, i’m so stressed that it’s gonna be much more difficult than the regular paper HELP

sup exam tmr and I genuinely can’t do it

Market Day today really tells me that I have to lock in, fix my sleep schedule and get the last hours of gaming in for the next 5 months or so… can’t believe semester starts so soon.
Excited for today though :)

ready for tmr? im still a bit unsure/scared so im doing a bit more practice exams. It worries me i keep on looking back at the answers tho sometimes

It's raining lol

I think it is possibly the coolest way to go from UQ to the city

Boat 🛥️

Something to do with the wind or something

I saw a crow today

I love crows

Crows are adorable

That’s it

If the Big Cactus is to Perth, what is what is to UQ?

Steak was good

I don’t know what this post is about anymore

Does anyone who didn’t do too well at law in UQ (not on purpose) end up getting better grades over time? and how did you do it? I’m a 1L student and i find UQ law assessments to be super discouraging and making me question whether I will ever be able to do well in this course. I love law, and the content i’m learning, but for whatever reason in the exams I cannot apply it properly regardless of how much i practise (4, 5), while some of my friends get pretty good grades seamlessly (6). It’s making me think I might not have what it takes for law specifically and making me almost feel behind/ dumb even though i was caught up on content. even though I know it may possibly get better with time i am feeling really discouraged and want advice on how to possibly improve especially on exams.

Spotted a fun setup at one of the UQ orientation booths featuring a koala, an echidna, a python, and a small crocodile.

​The Koala: Absolutely adorable. Their entire daily schedule consists of munching through eucalyptus leaves at lightning speed—reminiscent of Flash the Sloth from Zootopia—and then immediately passing out on a tree branch.

​The Echidna: Along with the platypus, echidnas are the only two surviving monotremes on Earth. They are mammals that lay eggs and have a pouch. While their quills look like a hedgehog's, they actually aren't that sharp if you stroke them in the direction they grow.

​The Crocodile & Python: Their skin was surprisingly smooth to the touch, probably because these two were still pretty young.

​Being cold-blooded, they seemed super chill and barely moved when brought out into the sun from the shade, letting everyone pet them. But after baking in the sun for a few minutes, their energy levels started loading up.

​As a warm-blooded mammal, I sometimes envy cold-blooded animals for being able to eat one meal and call it a month. But then again, they probably envy our ability to get up and move around whenever we want, regardless of the temperature.

​It reminds me of how lions in Africa will sometimes steal a crocodile's prey right in front of its face early in the morning. The poor croc hasn't soaked up enough sunlight to charge its battery yet, so it just has to sit there helplessly and watch its breakfast walk away.

I tried to access it and apparently the link no longer functions/something has changed about the website that renders the link dead? I don’t see any new link so what’s going on with programs like Omnissa and that sort of thing? Does anyone know?

Im doing a bach of sci but basically have no clue what im doing. Initially planned to major in biomed (didn't take bio in hs) and didn't take the hs introductory course and went straight into biol1020...But yeah i realised i hated bio and don't want to continue. I'm planning to change my degree (haven't decided on yet) so I'm aiming for courses that will give me a high GPA.

For reference I did methods, general eng, physics, chem, japanese and specialist (was very bad at this + despise math). So maybe a course that I could do without too much assumed general knowledge. I do like art but I can't really see any career for it.

I’m a student at UQ but have a couple fields outside my degree I would really love to attend lectures for every now and again without enrolling.

Is there a consensus on whether or not this is okay? I wouldn’t be disruptive of course and know most people wouldn’t ever even realise or care, but I don’t want to jeopardise my studies in any way if this isn’t allowed ☺️ Thanks!
