Serious question from a current student — I've been feeling the trimester grind pretty hard lately and wanted to see if others are in the same boat.

Back-to-back trimesters with barely any real break means I'm constantly playing catch-up. By the time I feel like I've absorbed one module properly, the next one's already dropping. I know SIT's trimester system is designed to pack more learning in, but I'm curious:

• Does anyone else feel like they're just surviving rather than learning?
• Have you found any study habits or routines that actually help with the pace?
• Is this just a "first-year / new-to-SIT" thing that gets easier later?

Happy to hear from any year — T1, T2, whoever. Not looking to complain, just genuinely interested in what's working for people.

"How do you do, fellow kids?"

I recently enrolled for a second Bachelor's degree part-time as a part of my "mid career skills upgrading", and I find that some of the profs teaching the mods seems to be a bit blur with regards to their subject matter. Is this normal?

Comparing to my "original" Bachelor's degree when I went for undergrad studies in 2006 at another local uni, I feel like there's a noticeable change in teaching quality. I find that YouTube and ChatGPT/Gemini AI aids me more in understanding the topic at hand than the actual profs teaching. Or am I just "too cool for school"?
