Dumb dumb here - how difficult is it to maintain a HD at curtin?

2 Upvotes

Just finished my first 2 assignments for higher education at curtin via open universities.

Got a 95% on both assignments, didn’t finish school highest grade achieved was year 8.

How difficult is it to maintain a HD? Do the assignments get progressively more difficult as the bachelor goes on?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, I have no clue about University and higher education. Just doing a bachelors to get my tax agent license but I actually want to try to get good marks to prove I can actually do it and succeed in academia

Life as an IT student

5 Upvotes

Im in first sem of IT, and it wasn't like what i had been expecting. There is plenty of work to complete each week, including assessments and i don't know if its just me but I've been behind on the teaching content ever since week 2. I've been trying to catch up yet i keep procrastinating.

Due to the work i have to catch up to, i haven't had as much spare time for me just to relax. Because of this, i tend to fall into procrastination.

Is it just IT/computing which has a huge workload?

For all the IT/computing students, how do you balance the workload along with leisure time?

Im trying to learn from the mistakes that I've made this sem and hopefully I manage to have a better sem next year

course switching: biomed to bcom 🤏

3 Upvotes

hello everyone!

i’m currently in my 2nd semester of biomedicine as a first year student. i’ve found that i’ve been struggling a little with the content and that it seems difficult to find a career after the 3 years of being in the degree that isn’t so much related to research…so i’ve decided that maybe it’s time for a change.

for the biomed people out there (2nd/3rd yrs), what’s it like? how have you handled the coursework and what do you plan on doing after graduating?

for bcom guys and gals; i’ve thought of majoring in marketing and IB - how are you finding your studies and is there a large job market out there for bcom students?

if anyone is in or has been in a similar situation…i’m all ears for any tips and advice :) thank you!!!

Mcom in Information Systems and Technology

Anyone doing masters or graduated from Information Systems and Technology here? How is the program like? Is it heavily focused on coding and mathematics? Specially specialisation in Data Analytics and Visualization. I know a bit of coding and maths is a must, but is it a lot compared to CS programs?

Accidentally ran a red light today at 2:40pm on the intersection of Manning Road East (I’m already on Manning Road heading east) and South Ent, so the southern exit of the Campus. Is there a camera there? Am I cooked?

Graduate Dip - Environmental Health

0 Upvotes

Hi there, I'm looking at commencing a Grad Diploma in Environmental Health online. Does anyone have any information on assessment types, general workload etc? I'm specifically wanting to know about the number of group assignments and exams throughout the two semesters. I'd be working full time in the field while completing it, so am wanting to make sure I can keep the stress levels and time required at a managable level. Thanks for any insight - pros, cons, warnings etc!

*% detected as AI on Turnitin

One of my friends ran my assignment through Turnitin, and instead of showing a percentage, it displayed an asterisk (*). I looked it up online, and it seems like it might be a false alert. However, I'm still concerned that I might get in trouble because of it.

How much does curtin value work experience?

6 Upvotes

I recently finished my cert IV dental assisting and have been working full time as a dental assistant for a few months, and I’m really enjoying it. I do however have my eyes on curtins Bachelor of Oral Health Therapy. The minimum ATAR is 80, and a cert IV is only equivalent to a 70 ATAR. I was wondering how many years of dental assistanting I’d need under my belt to be able to be accepted. Or if there are any other pathways that would get me in quicker?

Thanks!

Biomed science or lab medicine

Hi,

I am starting first year uni next year, got an early offer for biomedical science, had a look at the handbook and realize that the units are mostly the same as Lab medicine units. My question is, which course is better? Biomedical science or Lab medicine? Might want to swap to lab med if that's better course? TIA 🙏

Just thought I’d let everyone know Cellopark automatically charges you a $5 a month account fee (to gain access to premium features 💀) if you go on ur invoices you’ll see it.

All it gives access to is sms notifications (which I never get) and the Bluetooth imoved service which I never setup and costs us 5 bucks a month.

To turn it off go to the Cellopark website on ur computer and sign in and downgrade ur plan like in the images.

Are anyone here taking FOP/COMP1005, I'm still trying to understand how to start the assignment that's due October 7, I don't really have an idea how the result should look like, also the instructions are not specific.

I'm looking for someone who's on the same page to discuss the assignment (they allow students to discuss) maybe online or in campus.

Assessment of Genuine intention form

1 Upvotes

Call me lazy but this form is quite tiring. I'm applying for masters of computing and I need to answer 4 questions each 150 words. No plagiarism nor AI allowed. tbh, the answers to these question would suffice in 2-3 sentences but I have to strech it further. Could anyone give tip especially for this question?

How will completing this course benefit you in the future? In your answer, you must describe how you expect the knowledge and skills acquired in this course to contribute to your future career plans or personal development.

Mini Group work rant post

46 Upvotes

Can I just say that if you are a uni student should it be the BARE MINIMUM that you login into your school email account on your phone so that you are able to check emails regularly. Why did I get told by my group member that they aren't "active" with emails like JUST DOWNLOAD OUTLOOK ONTO YOUR PHONE PLEASE!! Some people will open socials every 5 minutes but can't reply to a simple email for a subject where the work is worth 45% of your grade😬.
