Can someone confirm this late submission penalty rule?

It says in my submission for my assignment that the late penalty is "10% of the maximum mark per working day or part thereof the assessment task is overdue (where work is less than a week overdue)". Does this include the weekend? The due date is midnight friday which is weird because why wouldn't they just do monday if it didn't include the weekend?

Academic Misconduct

I was recently informed that my MST was reported to the academic integrity team. I had originally received a score for this exam but the subject coordinator then decided to flag my exam because they believe I accessed unauthorised materials. I did not conduct academic misconduct - will my search history and hand written notes (which, were allowed during the exam) be sufficient evidence to remove the allegation? I am extremely anxious

SOMEONE MOTIVATE ME - URGENT

I hate to be the one to make this subreddit more depressing as it is. But I just can’t get through exam period. For context, exams never used to phase me. I used to do minimal studying and get a mid mark and move on with my life. But I’ve recently had my eye set on a particular post grad degree and need to start studying hard. I would attach a pic of myself so you could get more context on how I look right now but Im too embarassed.

I’ve been non stop grinding since week 11 and now I have 2 weeks left and I’m genuinely tweaking tf out. I haven’t stopped eating but I’ve definitely started eating less. I’ve literally become a speck of dust. Not because of an ED but because I’ll be studying all day and i miss doomscrolling, I miss the beach, I miss travelling I miss EVERYTHING GOOD.

I need all H1s this semester and now that I’ve put pressure on myself i ln going crazy. I don’t want to be dramatic but this is my worst exam period yet. I’m completely disappointed in one of my exams I took and cannot get over it. I’m embarassed by how well I thought I’d do on it. And I’m also embarassed that’s it keeping me up at night. AND IM NOT FKN JOKING. I kid you not I woke up last night in the middle of the night and gasped because I realised one of my true/false answers were wrong. Like I literally CANNOT make that up. At 2am, i wokeup grabbed my ipad and went through the slides to confirm my answer was wrong. I tried doing the exam again by what I could REMEMEBR. I don’t know what to do I’m genuinely tweaking out, EVERYONES telling me they had different answers for different questions and I’m actually not okay. Someone please give me motivation to get through these two weeks. My only motivation rn is my euro trip but THATS NOT EVEN enoguh at this point. BIGSHMUNGUS TELL ME WHERE TO FIND ICE IDK HOW ILL GET THRU THIS.

Investments was hard?

Is it just me or was that exam really hard… got baited by the practice exam. Am I just dumb? If we skim the margin for passing will they let us just pass the subject?

study techniques

Hi everyone

If I’ve written notes for most of my theory based subject throughout the semester, how would you go about revising? I haven’t made flash cards so I’ve opted to just rewrite my notes but that’s taking too long at the moment. They’ve also only given us one sample exam. Does anyone have any other techniques to help me cram in just a few days 😭

Thank you!

Keep hearing about ARA being the most difficult exam of all the BCom level ones. For anyone that’s done it, any advice with a week of study until the exam?

I'm possibly failing!!

I was supposed to submit a paper at 4:45. Due to mix of technical and mental issues (not jkn), I submitted 10 minutes later. Now my faculty is saying I'll need to contact stop 1. Last time this happened, my faculty levied a 10% penalty. Why is this difference happening? Also, should I apply for special consideration (health), since my issues was never diagnosed before but I silently tried to cope up with it?

Supplementary exam for final semester 40-49% meaning

Hi everyone, just want to double check the meaning of this here. Does it mean overall mark for the whole subject or just the exam itself? I'm kinda worried right now

Would a WAM of 70 be sufficient to get a place in the Master of econometrics?

Hello everyone, I am a domestic student at unimelb. my application for the master's degree in econometrics was recently denied with the message, "Unfortunately, your academic results are below the standard required for the course you have chosen," My current WAM is 68.6, and the course's entrance criteria is 70. I am confident that I can raise my WAM to 70 after the end of this semester. Can I reapply for this course once my WAM has beyond 70? Would you kindly share your experience if someone has appealed their application? I'm devastated and in dire need of some helpful advice.

Are callback emails sent at the same time?

asking to know for sure that I didn’t make it (to start next year at VCA) since my friend who auditioned for the same major got a call back email but I haven’t. do they get sent at the same time for everyone? (for context im going for bachelor of music) it would make the most sense that they do but I guess I just need closure lmao

FOE Extension process - Completely opaque?

Hi everyone, looking for help from people either in Faculty of Education or in faculties with similar extension policies. For those who don't know, as of last year the FoE changed their extension policy from directly e-mailing subject coordinators with relevant proof of extension requests (I have an AAP that allows for up to 10 days of extension) to using a Qualtrics portal (https://education.unimelb.edu.au/study/current-students/extension-assessment-information-and-policies/main-page-links/foe-extensions).

I've applied for extensions in two subjects, using the AAP as evidence. The portal provides no email confirming whether an extension request has been received, let alone approved or denied, and subject coordinators emailed about the request has either confirmed that they have seen it but could not authorise an extension (they said it could still be approved or denied pending the extension team) or prompted me to reach out to the extension team - the only way to do so seems to be via inquiry form.

Is this process completely opaque, or do I have any sort of way to view this process?

Can I get a local employmet from Bachelor of Arts? (UniMelb)

I am a Japanese international student planning to get a bachelor's degree abroad. I am currently accepted to the Bachelor of Arts at the University of Melbourne and I am aiming for local employment in the future. I would like to analyze public policy as a policy analyst or research assistant in a think tank or company, is i possible to switch from a graduate visa to a sponsor visa for local employment from this degree? I know that many of my desired positions require a master's degree, so I am also considering taking a Bachelor's in a more affordable country (like Netherlands) and getting a Master's in Australia. (MPP, MAA, etc.)

10% and a bit over word limit?

Currently finishing up a final exam essay and I’ve already used up my 10% over word limit and I’m now 70 or so words over that. (1500 word limit, 1650 with the +10%, final word limit is 1721 inclusive of Chicago A footnotes).

I’ve exhausted all possible ways to get the word limit down without straight up getting rid of a whole vital point of my essay.

I’ve seen that the FoE Assessment Penalties deduct 10% for every 10% you go over.

Do you think I’d be able to get away with it? Thoughts/advice?

Standing Room cookies

Let’s be real. Standing Room is the only good cafe on campus itself. The rest of them are kind of shite.

I think Standing Room has the best snacks anyway, and their cookies are so darn GOOD. The last couple of times I have tried to go there for their cookies have been like 3:30-4ish and they’re out of cookies or busy cleaning up. However once I went around 2pm, also 12pm, and there were no cookies left then either.

What do I do to increase luck with being there when the cookies are still out? Is the morning better for this?

Or…… where else on campus has good snacks like this? Bonus points if the flavour palate is brown sugar / miso / nice flavours like that. Professors Walk seems too white flour white sugar, and St Ali too Italian (why go there when you can go to brunettis instead lol)

Master of IT vs Master of Software Engineering

Hi all,

I’m finishing up my Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering. While I have good marks, I’ve realized I don’t want to continue further in this field. During my first year, I took FOC and FOA, and I remember really enjoying them. I’m now considering a career in the software field and wondering which degree would be the best fit. Would it be the Master of IT (2 years) or the Master of Software Engineering (3 years)? Can anyone please share your reviews on how the course was like, and whether it is worth taking extra 1 year of studying for Master of Software engineering?

Thank you so much in advance!!
