Why is the internet so buns😭

I get it that there’s a lot of people using it and there can’t always be enough bandwidth for everyone to use but it surely can’t be that slow.

And before anyone says it’s just my device or my connection it is absolutely NOT just me. All of my friends are having the exact same issue. We’ll literally be sitting there together complaining about how nothing is loading on multiple occasions.

B1 and parts of B11 are the WORST. I walk in expecting to be productive and leave having spent half the time staring at a loading screen and reconnecting to the Wi-Fi and I don’t have enough mobile data to hotspot my laptop🫩

There’s something we can do about this.

Business Requirements Modelling

Does anyone know if attendance is taken for the OLR online class on Mondays? I’m in Week 4 and haven’t attended so far, and I noticed they’re marked as absences. I’m planning to attend from next week, but I’m worried it might affect my grade. Does anyone know?

Thanks

Found a UTS Student’s Floppy Disk in a Trash Pile

I’m a Mechanical Engineering student at UTS. Today, while I was out for a walk, I came across a box of old floppy disks that had been thrown out with some unwanted stuff.

I took them home and had a closer look, and to my surprise, one of the disks actually belonged to a former UTS Mechanical Engineering student and seems to contain their old uni work.

What are the chances? 😂 Such a random but amazing coincidence.

Academic Survey on Skill Development and Navigating Career Uncertainty (University Students)

Ever tried to explain what you're actually good at, and blanked? You're not alone. Between fast-moving job markets, shifting expectations, and skills that feel hard to name, a lot of students are left wondering whether what they know is still enough, or how to even talk about it.

This short survey digs into how you currently make sense of your own skills: where you check if you're "on track," who you turn to when you're unsure, and what career confidence actually feels like right now. Your answers will directly shape a student-led design project aimed at helping early-career adults see their skills more clearly and navigate uncertainty with more confidence.

Takes about 5-7 minutes. Fully anonymous, there are no wrong answers here, just your honest experience.

Quick question: Does UTS actually use Turnitin's AI detection tool, or just the similarity checker? :)

Hi everyone,

I am looking to confirm whether the Turnitin AI writing detector is currently active and used by tutors at UTS, or if assignments are only evaluated using the standard text similarity percentage.

I'm in my first year and still adjusting to university academic standards, so I wanted to clarify how submissions are processed. I use Grammarly to fix my grammar as I write.

Any insight from current students or staff would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Interest in Case Comps this Sem?

I haven’t been able to find many people in my circle interested in doing case comps this year, so I’m reaching out here to see if anyone else is keen to form a team. Didn’t get the chance to participate in many comps last sem, so I’m keen to get involved this time around.

FYI: Penultimate year business student (accounting & finance)

Trying to figure out what young Australians actually want from a money app

I'm currently at Uni and trying to build a small app called Larna. It's just me at the moment. It connects to your bank through Australia's open banking system, sorts your spending automatically, and tries to tell you something useful about it. No manual entry, no spreadsheets.

Before I build any more of it I want to know what people actually need instead of being stuck with what I assume they need. I've. tried to put together a short survey its under 5 minutes, anonymous, no bank details, nothing to sign up for.

What I'm hoping to learn: what your bank's app already does well, where it falls short, and which features are worth building versus which ones sound good and would never get used. Honest answers help me far more than encouraging ones. If something on the list sounds pointless, say so.

These answers go straight into what gets built. It'll be free for uni students. Please let me know if you have any feedback for the survey as well.

Also happy to post a summary of the results back here once responses are in.

PSA - AI detectors

Hi everyone - I received a disturbing report from a student today that their tutor stated that they would put all of their assessment submissions through Claude to detect whether they were written by AI.

UTS does NOT condone the use of AI detectors and as a Misconduct person - I would reject any case based on a misconduct detector report as the sole piece of evidence.

Legally - we should not be putting your assessments into any commercial AI tool - this is your intellectual property.

I am working to follow up on this - but if you’ve got an academic who has either done this or said that they will do this, please report to the Director of Students or Director of Education in your faculty. Or if you cannot find who that person is, the Associate Dean Education & Students.

Also - if you want my opinion on AI detectors - today’s post on IG

Is it weird to email a tutor at 2am?

For context, I am feeling very unwell and cannot show up to a studio class in the morning. I decided to send an email now so that my tutor can give me the resources not on canvas, so I can finish it as quick as possible tomorrow. I am planning on sleeping in and probably on and off all day so I won’t be assed to send an email, which is why I am doing it now. Is that weird?

In my second semester of first year, and I'm realising I don't want to pursue this career

As the title says. I'm a current student enrolled in a healthcare-related degree I felt pressured to choose as a year 12 student, but after 1 semester and attending placements I've come to realise that this career is not for me. 😢 So after attending a careers event, I've been drawn to studying engineering instead.

I don't know what to do at this point because I really don't want to continue studying my current degree and it's been making me increasingly unsatisfied and unhappy, and it's starting to take a toll on my mental health. I feel like I'm forcing myself to continue down a career path that I don't see myself being happy in long-term.

Do I withdraw? (Or is that too risky? Will that impact admission into a new course?)

Do I just suck it up and finish first year??? I would appreciate any advice
