r/curtin

Hi,

Sorry if this opinion is not agreed upon but I am genuinely a bit frazzled regarding my recent assignments forcing the incorporation of AI use as I am personally against using it.

I don't really want to debate about the trivialities so my question is, is this going to continue to be integrated into Curtin as a whole? I have tried to do some research of my own about it but maybe I am looking in the wrong area.

Any answers appreciated even if it is your two cents but overall just want to know if anyone has an idea as to whether this will continue into my studies and if I should consider looking elsewhere for a curriculum that suits me better.

I totally understand it works well for others but for myself it takes away from my learning experience. Thanks all. : )

(To clarify, I am taking a PSYCH pathway)

I’m thinking about taking INDH1006 and was wondering if anyone who has done it could share their experience with the unit and what they thought of it?

just received an order to pay in the mail (two hunned BUCKS) for a parking infringement ticket i paid in August of 2025!

genuinely wtf do i do?!
has this happened to anyone else before?

Please if you’re studying on level 6 and you want to have an entire conversation with a friend please either go out to a different floor or to the lobby area. Thank you as this is a quiet study place

I'm old and have studied for too many years. Have always spent my free time perusing the textbooks of other subjects and the books available. Gently fondling the moleskines with my pauper hands and hungry eyes.

The one that used to be here sold Lamys and had ink which was super for me because I am pretentious and need everyone near me to know that I value my script to the point that any slight dampness would wash away my valuable words instantaneously. Youd better believe you'll have to look after my handwritten exams come this exam period.

But now? Aside from my amazing naps in the arcade room (sorry for any who wanted to join these last couple of weeks Ive been busy enough to stay awake and eating my weight in muffins instead of luxury naps like the best tended cat), I have wandered campus going to the free book libraries trying to find a book relevant to an elective assignment to no avail.

Imagine if we had an Elizabeth's, inclusive of stationary section on campus. I know the warehouse that buys your old books doesnt pay you for old textbooks, so imagine a free textbooks pile- sure heaps go out of date but anatomy and biology books rarely do. A nutrition textbook I once found from the early 90s is still relevant, its only the propaganda that's changed.

What could we do away with to make space for my dream campus Elizabeth's second hand book store? We could remove some of the floor space of the library by the cafe and have it there... maybe just a pop up every Wednesday, when I'm on campus. Possibly Friday next semester.

Are there any other irrelevant spaces? I can't think of many, I know there's a few criticisms of this campus but, having been a student of ECU (both mt Lawley and Joondalup) and alumni of UWA, there's something authentic and non pretentious of this place. Everyone I meet feels like they worked to get here which is really lovely. ECU shares this feeling, but there's definitely a flavour of teaching-college there (which seriously is fantastic for nursing and teaching, hands down recommend ECU for hands on learners). Curtin to me really does feel a bit of a hodge podge of people trying to figure things out. And hell, maybe you'll all find yourselves coming back here the way I have.

Anyway, Elizabeth's Second Hand Bookstore on campus so I can peruse travel books to write this assignment. This rant was brought to you by my reality and my dreams not aligning. Thanks ily.

hows the lab test yall, any tips?

Hello, can someone tutor me with this shit! 😆😭

Guys, I feel the marking was harsh like never expected or see that coming, this is the only subject I'd be glad to get 60% and I'm in so shock. What has happened suddenly, what are the markers being so strick about.

I can't do anything anymore, can I ?

what exactly is the effect of failing an elective before i decide if i want to give up on ts or not

Does anyone know when the plan your timetable feature on oasis (before actually choosing it properly) is open to use to start playing around with options?

Youre not cool for popping wheelies in the parking lot at 1pm in the arvo, you almost ran me over 😍

Okay, so I am an international student and am thinking of choosing either Edith Coward or Curtin. My first option would be curtin. The one thing I was told is that there are not many international students in Perth. Is that true? I am saying from the perspective that if there are many locals, how diverse would they be ??

Hi

In my 3rd year of elec + electronic eng, doing the Flexible Minor looking for an elective for next sem. Mainly interested in power systems/renewable energy areas, but if anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear as I am struggling to actually find any units that are actually still offered :/.

thanks

Its like the only idea I have that isn't copyrighted

im trying to understand what a final university transcript actually looks like once you’ve completed your degree, especially in a situation like mine.

Throughout my studies, I’ve had a bit of a mixed academic path:

• I changed majors partway through my degree so some of the units I completed no longer count toward my final course credit requirements but the current transcript counts them in.
• A few units were marked as exemptions or credited differently after the change
• I also have a 2 failed units on my record.

So I’m a bit confused about what the official document looks like once everything is finalised at graduation. Or is it essentially the same transcript, just marked with the completed qualification at the end? Like would my CWA be everything I did?

Why is every single architecture, interior architecture and project management assignment due before June and exam season? Why can’t the lecturers and unit coordinators spread out assignments and pin ups to later on in the semester during exam weeks instead of making three to four different 50% assignments due in one week? Am I the only struggling right now 🙆🏻

This is my first semester studying at Curtin and because I'm fully online, I've never been on campus before. I have an appointment at 2:00pm today in Building 109 and am really anxious with where I'm going to park or if I'll even be able to find parking. I would take public transport but unfortunately it's a very long and inconvenient trek that I don't have the time for on the day.

I've read through the uni website and previous posts but there seems to be a lot of mixed experiences. I have no issues with the parking cost (I also just downloaded CelloPark) and just want to park in a zone that's close-ish to the building because I'm probably going to have trouble navigating the campus.

So a few questions:
- Is it difficult to find parking in yellow zones around 1-2pm?
- How early should I get there to be able to find parking and figure out how to get to the building in time?
- Will I even be able to find parking 😭??

Any insight or advice would be really appreciated :D

Edit: it got rescheduled to Friday so now I have 2 more days to stress over looking like a buffoon- yippee !!

Hi,
I am a current year 12 ATAR student. I am wanting to pursue Curtin’s Bachelor of Science (Medical radiation science). I have a predicted ATAR of over 90. I did not, however, do Physics ATAR which is a prerequisite for the course. I am planning on a gap year and was wondering if I take the stand alone Curtin unit of Foundation of Physics 1006 in my gap year can I then use this plus my ATAR (providing it is over 90) to apply for the Bachelor of Science (Medical radiation science) the following year? I know you can enrol in Bachelor of Health Sciences and achieve an 80 average to then transfer but I don’t want to do it this way.
