Question what are tutorials like on zoom call?

3 Upvotes

first year law student, i was trying to avoid having my tutorials online, especially this class because there's a presentation that needs to be done in a group, and now i'm gonna have to do it online. i feel like it's gonna be so awkward, but the tutorials last sem were bad anyway so i felt like i could've done it online anyway??

just a bit nervous if it's bad lol

Question Text book

1 Upvotes

This is my second year and the uni has changed the interface of the website design and i couldn't find the text book to read. I'm wondering why because last term the uni still offered free ebook. I tried to find the text book on the library website but the uni does not offer like 3 or 9 users access anymore.

Heyo, has anyone here done CULT2016, investigation and evidence?

Hard or easy?

I’m taking it as an elective and wanted to know if it was the wrong move if it’s like a really hard subject or pretty chill.

General Discussion Smaller or bigger size tutorials

0 Upvotes

I’m assuming that my current tutorial is about 25~ people, but I started wondering if it’s better, in learning and building friendships, to have a smaller class size tutorial. I have another possible class option currently having, another guess, about 13~ people. Anyone have any wisdom/experience with this?

Question Honours Advice

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm almost finished with my Bachelor of Psychological (online) and I'm hoping to do honours next year. I know Western Sydney University doesn't offer the honours year online. Currently trying to decide whether to stay at WSU and study on campus, or apply for an online honours program elsewhere.

I'd love to hear from anyone who has completed or is currently doing psychology honours at Western Sydney University. How have you found the on-campus experience? Was it worth being on campus, particularly for supervision, research support, networking, and getting to know your cohort?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thanks!

Timetables Is anyone else having this issue

4 Upvotes

I’m doing a bachelors of Social work. Like everyone else, I set my preferences for my subjects and then waited for allocation. But I’ve only been allocated into two subjects and one of the subjects I haven’t been assigned starts tomorrow at 9. I’ve contacted coordinators and the people they’ve referred me to so that I can get a tutorial but I’ve heard nothing before this weekend. Should I just attend the class I wanted to get or should I just stay home until I do get a proper class on my timetable

Question Request to Overload

3 Upvotes

I’m an international student and I’m planning out my pathway. I’ve had 3 subjects credited and it seems like I’ll be left with only 1 course to finish by my last semester. Is there a way to request to overload (50 units) so I can end earlier? As an international student, I’m required to study full time which is 40 units so I’d be breaking my visa conditions if I only take the 1 course.

Question Grade appeal?

0 Upvotes

I’ve scored above 85 on 3 subjects but only got a “P” in one of them.
When I checked, I noticed I got only 18/40 on one of the assignments. Ive adhered to majority of the marking criteria so this is weird considering how perfectly adhering to just one criteria could’ve gotten me 20 marks.

I know I passed the subject but I just cant sit with this below average score. Do I just email the subject coordinator?

(Also I submitted another assessment late which resulted in some marks being deducted, but this assessment was submitted on time)

Question Med course switch

6 Upvotes

I’m currently in my first year of university and am hoping to transfer into medicine after first year. I was wondering if anyone who has gone through this pathway could share their experience

  1. What GPA did you have (or what GPA is generally considered competitive)?
  2. What UCAT score would realistically be competitive for a first-year university applicant?

Timetables Classes FULL on Allocate+

8 Upvotes

Hey, I've had some trouble scheduling my classes this semester, but I've narrowed it down to four subjects. However, it's an unfortunate mess that it's the Friday before start, and the two available classes for the subject at my chosen campus are FULL. I did click the heart for the waiting list, and I'm stressing a bit.

Would it be troubling if I showed up to the Tutorial in-person anyway on the day? I'm sure at least someone will drop out of the subject by Census date.

Failed subject for missing one class

Received my grade today which was an HD but it’s marked as CF because I missed a class.

My special consideration was accepted for all other subjects for something outside my control.

Feel defeated and have to retake the unit again!

Anyone at WSU interested in a smaller meetup group?

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

It has been about a month since I made my first post asking what people actually do socially at WSU.

I made it because I was genuinely curious. I’ve found it pretty hard to meet people properly at uni, especially outside of classes, pracs, assignments, exams, and everyone just heading home after. I didn’t expect much from that post, but a lot more people related to it than I thought.

After that, I made another post asking if people would be interested in a small WhatsApp or Discord group. A few people said yes, so I made a Discord server.

The idea was never to make an official uni club or anything like that. It was just meant to be a small place where people could talk, get to know each other, and maybe organise coffee, food, walks, or just casual hangouts.

But after giving it some time, I don’t think Discord is really the right place for what I was trying to do. A lot of people joined, but it stayed pretty quiet. Some people probably liked the idea, but not many were actually talking or trying to organise anything. That’s fine, everyone has their own life, work, uni, exams, and all that.

I think I’m just looking for something smaller and more direct.

Not a big server. Not another group where everyone joins and disappears.

Not anything formal.

Just a few people who actually want to meet up, talk, laugh a bit, and get to know each other properly.

Could be coffee, food, walks, uni, life, books, writing, music, psychology, philosophy, random thoughts, or whatever comes up naturally. So I’m thinking of making a small WhatsApp group instead.

Not because WhatsApp magically fixes anything, but because it feels more suited for actually organising meetups instead of having another server sitting there.

If you related to the earlier posts, or if you feel socially disconnected at uni and actually want to meet people, feel free to comment or message me.

I’ll probably keep it small so it doesn’t turn into another inactive group. Maybe it doesn’t need to be a big thing. Maybe it just needs a few people who actually want to show up.

Hello,
I had a major assignment and I had submitted it before the due date. But the grades released says that I have an FNS (Failed, Did not submit) which makes no sense.

what do I do?
