Got an email for this for pre orientation. Just wondering from people who've been to it before if it's worth going to?

Hi all, I have 1 unit left of my studies. I am looking for something chill and online, I will happily take a year 1 unit.
I have done the drone program and CAR20001.
Thanks in advance!

So I've filled out my information and picked my electives for the year im doing engineering. But I see that only 8 units should be done a year. but I have 4 electives I need to do for engineering along with my 8 core units combined for sem 1 and sem 2. My question is do I add my electives into my semesters study plan or leave it as the core 8. I'm just really confused with the correct process and don't want to end up overburdened with units first year. pm for any more info just would love some help.

Just wondering if anyone here is doing or has done the grad cert of science (astronomy). If so are you doing it online or in person? If you have done it before how does it all work, especially online, just trying to determine if orientation is worth it especially for an online degree.

Has anyone from Swinburne CS Graduating class received offers from FAANG/Quant or adjacent Tech companies?

I'm going to be starting classes soon, what type of opportunities are available to Swinburne CS Grads or should i just transfer to UniMelb for better opportunities.

It's not that learning is tough but I don't feel like I fit in anywhere and everyone seems to atleast feel somewhat sure of the environment but I can barely find the motivation to want to study on campus. I'm starting second year soon and first year was spent feeling like an outsider because I still don't feel like the degree is for me. I've been pretty sure of my choices until the day I arrived at Swinburne and I've had a gut feeling ever since that this is not meant to be. I couldn't find the motivation to study - the reports I wrote were pretty good but those were practically the only things pulling up my grades. Each semester/teaching period gets a bit easier on me socially but I still don't feel like a swinburne kid. Any advice on performing to my best anyways? How can I know that I'll turn out alright here? My brain is being really stubborn and the friction to engage at swinburne is crazy - I've talked to a lot of people about careers, what I want to pursue and stuff like that but everything feels off. I'm open to staying but I'm not quite sure what to prioritise so I can really find myself again while I stay at swinburne.

Can we still change our block group after joining one? It seem like each group have different timetable and now I want to change to another one that has the time table I need. Is it possible to change?

Starting my first year soon and want to join the volleyball team. does anyone know what the team is like, if there’s open spots, the general skill level, etc?

Hi im got into Advanced Diploma of Engineering Technology - Electrical for 2024 and defered for a year so i could build up some money i start in 6 weeks and hadnt got any emails yets which i thought was weird so i called up the swinburn helpline and they told me that they had me down for 2025 but had been marked down for quiting the course even though there was no phone call or email on there record from me that said i wanted that. The lady on the phone (who was very nice) said its probably a bug and that dhe would send notes to the proper people and they would send me a reply in 3 weeks

Im stressing out for not only having to wait for 3 weeks but it also doesnt leave me alot of time to figure things out idk not really asking for help just ranting as i need to vent to the internet to make myself feel better thanks for reading

Hi everyone,

I got an offer for a media course at Swinburne, however I can't take it this year as my parents would like me to at least try a different degree (at RMIT.)

If I defer my course, will I still be allowed to reject the offer (at the start of next year) in the scenario I no longer want to take it next year? Or is it delayed but I will already be enrolled into the school?

Thank you so much, I'm sorry if this doesn't make sense.

Are the internships in the professional program guaranteed (meaning the university will source and give it too you) or do we have to find it ourselves?

anyone know when the second round offers will be released?

Hey y’all. So I’m starting laws/criminology in March and I just wanted to ask, what’s the most effective way of note taking for you guys? I always used pen and paper in school but I’ve heard that lectures can be fast and that may not be the most effective way? I have a macbook but is it worth getting an iPad to take notes too? If y’all could share some tips, it would be great, thank you 😊

I’m heading down for my first semester in a few weeks and I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed and uncertain about what I should be doing right now.

It feels like I’m just stuck in this long bit of waiting and I wanted to ask other students what they’d prepared before heading down?

Hey so im going to be enrolled on feb 21 and i was wondering if anybody had picked marketing as their electives and if so is it going to be a chill elective

Hey guys, I recently completed my Unillink Diploma of Engineering and have been accepted for the Bachelor's of Engineering (Honours), however when attempting to select my major for the coming study period I receive the following error:

You have previously completed CVE10007 Sustnbl Innov Design Eng Proj Ver 2 which is an equivalent of ENG10001/3 HumEngDesProj, and may be eligible for advanced standing.

Does anyone have any idea of how to resolve this error and has anyone encountered it before?

hello!

I was hoping somebody could tell me the assignment overview for the reflective essay in the INS10001 unit? I want to study this unit but I’m fighting for my life doing the reflective essay for COM10003 and don’t want to go through this again if I can help it.

Thank you so much in advance <3

Hi everyone,

I’m starting Screen Production at Swinburne soon and was wondering what laptops current film students are using.

Any recommendations or insights on what works well for the program would be super helpful!

Thanks in advance!

I'm already enrolled in everything but I can't get past this step which means my Loan documents won't be approved yet.. any suggestions.

so i am currently in network and switching, but I'm a bit confused on something. first of all, in the final written exam, it counts toward 50% of our grade, so do I get 40 out of 50% to pass or out of 100% to pass.

secondly, how will the final written and skill exams be like?

oh, and it is very hard so if I get like 40%, should I fail or use the 1 free pass (not really free, I forgot the word)

Anyone know anything about swinburne email block? I've been unable to send emails through outlook because of this :(

just got my res offer yesterday and my occupation date is the 15th of feb, which seems a bit early. i am just wondering if it’s the same for everyone else or if i’ve accidentally put a too-early date in my application because i didn’t know when the semester started!! thanks :)

Hi I am just wondering for present/past students what does multimodal learning have to offer that`s different to classroom based learning and what are the benefits? (Also I got a suggestion for this for my sem 2 unit which is a math unit which is best from the two?)

Hello there reader. I am a recent year 12 graduate that's doing the unilink course, I'm kind of scared that I made a mistake, all I know about unilink is it's pathway to a bachelors in information technology, can anyone help me learn how much of an idiot I am. I am just so lost on what where and how to do stuff.

Ranting aside, I'm looking for more information on people who have done courses for IT or Compsci to give advice, I have almost no knowledge on how to code, and I am just new to the whole system. I know I'm put into block groups that determine what time, place I need to be, and the stuff we're going to learn, but is there something more I need to learn, do I still get to ask lecturers on stuff and will people actually help? It's a huge step and I've been going around in circles but any advice, talk, or anything is appreciated.
