Exam Deferrals

Hey, just a quick question for those who have gotten exam deferrals.

I've been really sick for a couple days and don't think i will be able to sit my exam in a couple days. How hard is it to get a deferral? Do I need to get an in person medical certificate or is an online one okay, and what's the chances I get accepted?

Transferring uni

I’m currently studying at UQ for engineering but struggling really bad, and I’m worried that my GPA might not be high enough when I do want to transfer to QUT. Do I use the cumulative GPA to compare to the equivalent ATAR? I’m looking at the ATAR conversion from the UQ site and it says 3.5 ish is equivalent to tough 85 ATAR..

Low Effort IFN Electives for MS IT IN20

I am registering electives for next semester and took some challenging courses that have brought my average down a bit. I am currently working full time so my time is spread quite thin.

I’m looking for some units that are relatively straight forward that are easier to get 7’s in. I’ve heard IFN541 isn’t too hard, hoping to find some others to register. Any ideas appreciated! Thanks for reading :)

would enrolling myself in a diploma/bachelors be better rather than just bachelors itself if i have no prior knowledge/experience in that field?

QUT ABB123 Sustainability and Design Thinking for the Construction Industry

looking for advice from architecture students about doing ABB123 Sustainability and Design Thinking for the Construction Industry.

I have just completed ABB214 Environmental Principles, and it was hard but amazing.

Is ABB123 worth doing?

is there any recommended reading prior? I already have Bainbridge and Haggard (Passive Solar Architecture) and Lechner and Andrasik (Heating Cooling and Lighting) and Kwok and Grondzik (The Green Studio Handbook)

Cardiac Sonography - QUT vs UniSA?

I'm a cardiac physiologist who has been accepted for an echo training position next year at my current workplace.

I'm really struggling to decide whether to go with the QUT or UniSA cardiac Sonography course.

QUT has certainly been around longer (this has a level of prestige I guess), whereas UniSA has only been operating for 3-4 years. Almost everyone at my current workplace are QUT graduates understandably. I'm not sure if employers look more favourably upon a QUT graduate as opposed to UniSA. Both are ASAR accredited.

Course content and structure wise, I believe both are similar.

I've heard rumours that there've been some recent changes in course coordinators QUT, and the current coordinator is not as attentive? I've also heard whispers that the quality of QUT is going down whereas UniSA is going up, though I'm not sure on what basis people are making these comments.

QUT is 8-9k more expensive.

QUT requires applicants to have '3 months full-time echo experience' prior to applying (though according to my manager they don't strictly enforce this), whereas UniSA has no such requirement and teaches from the ground up.

Does anyone have any opinions on either course?

ATAR - <80 - Admission into Law at QUT - Help!

Hello,

Im currently sitting on what I believe to be is decently average marks for a ATAR. There is one factor though - physics. I have never been strong at physics and my obsession with it ultimatley led to my downfall.

These are my estimated results:

 EnglishScore- 83

 Study of ReligionScore- 81

 PhysicsScore- 46

 Legal StudiesScore- 86

Gen Math score - 76

Compared to physics, if i did modern history and recieved a 75/100 I would be sitting on a 87 atar compared to the 73 estimated now. Its completely embarassing how one subject can demolish any chance I have of getting into my desired double degree in Law/Justice.

I understand I can go into the Justice degree by itself, do a semester and then transfer into the double degree with a GPA that would equate to a 99.95 atar and still keep the credit points allowing me to not add on any years to the double degree. (long sentence i know)

My question is, will this atar affect me considerably in trying to apply to UNI or applying to a law firm outside of UNI once I finish? Is there anything I can do?

Im a idiot for choosing physics and not choosing a humantiarian subject in which i would excel in, but at the end of the day it is my own fault.

I think I won’t do well on my atar and was wondering how my diploma will be used

I’ve had a really difficult year and I’m worried my ATAR won’t be high enough for university. I did pick up a diploma in Year 12 and applied for early entry. What are my chances of getting into university? Am I in trouble? I hope I haven’t ruined anything for myself.

study rooms

people are fully treating study rooms like it's their living room. if i have to walk in and tell one more person to get your BARE FEET off the table because i have this room booked i might explode. it's a public space, keep your shoes on (or socks at least) and pick up your rubbish when you leave. i don't understand how this is hard?? has this happened to anyone else? am i just cursed?

Grievance Solution for a Bad Unit

Has anyone started a grievance solution before as per this link?

I have had quite a bad unit where I honestly felt like I wasted my money. I have pretty good evidence and backing to support my claims and complaints. Just wondering if anyone has experience going this far. I strongly believe the student voice survey may not be enough for the matter

Failing units

I'm a Master's student. I've completed three semesters with a GPA above 4. In this semester I couldn't put the same efforts for the 3 units because of personal issues & mental health problems. I'm not sure If I can pass these units given the predicament I'm in.

I'd like to know whether this is grounds for academic probation or exclusion from the course.

Nostalgia for QUT in the 2000s

Does anyone else wish they could experience QUT (or UQ) dying the 2000s or 1990s? Or honestly anything before 2015 even.

I was born 2003, so certainly couldn't have been in uni at the time but when I see old pictures, the vibes seem very nice and fun (I also love how ppl dressed back then). I guess it's just a general nostalgia over that period. But I do think uni was more meaningful and fun back then.

These days campus feels quite dead. There's no real "culture" I see, and whatever there is, feels a bit forced. With tech development, everyone having smartphones- I'm sure we r interacting less with each other than we used too.

Anyways, nothing serious, just sort of wish I could experience what uni was like back then!

Edit - I also get this feeling when I'm at the GP main library or law library. Seeing all the books on the shelves. I know nobody checks then out or uses most of them now but a lot of them look well worn. I'm sure it was harder, but so interesting to imagine a time where people would actually use the books there to research. When the internet wasn't as big of a thing.

If anyone has any old pics, please add them below, I'd love to see!

Early Offer Scheme Eligibility

I am currently a grade 12 student wanting ot go QUT for a bachelors of engineering and bachelors of science. I made this my first QTAC preference and I soon have to submit my results to be assesed. It says that I need a mark above 70% across atleast three general subjects and atleast passed two of those general subjects (which I did), but when I look at my results, I barely missed out on consistently get above 70% for each IA for three general subjects (a lot of stupid mistakes and interuptions), however they still tallied up to an overall percentage of above 70% for those three. I called QUT to understand the requirement better, but the dude said he wasn't sure, but said that if I do meet the requirements I am guaranteed a spot. Can anyone clarify? I feel like i'm not eligible.
