The variety of opinions surrounding this topic has confused many people, including myself on whether they are learning more efficiently or are falling trap to the comfort of AI. Is AI is actually a very helpful tool, when the person using it is aware of the fact that AI can hallucinate and is constantly checking its answers against source material, uses it only for the generation of practice questions/flashcards and explanation of topics, predominantly in STEM fields, and ensure their prompts include strict reference to their course material, or is all of this a facade and we are actively killing our critical thinking ability and creativity. Feel free to share your opinions guys
It could be anything.
I'm a 2nd year Mech Eng student and I've realised I haven't really made any mates at uni that I can talk to about my units.
I always find myself wanting to talk to people before/after a test or exam, compare how we found it, discuss questions, etc., but I've never really had anyone to do that with.
Just wondering if anyone here is/has been part of a study group or unit group chat, and how you got one started? Or if there are any existing Mech Eng/unit chats that people know about.
Would be keen to join one or meet some people in a similar situation.
I’m currently finishing my psychology honours dissertation and I’m having a bit of a crisis on whether I'll fail because of my study design.
It’s a fairly simple, completely online study using self-report measures, and I’m worried about things like demand characteristics, participants potentially figuring out what the study is testing, and whether people actually took the study seriously.
I obviously can't change the study at this point, so my question is more about how much this matters for the dissertation overall.
If the study design has some genuine limitations, can strong writing, a good theoretical rationale, appropriate analysis, and a thoughtful discussion of the limitations make up for it to some extent? Or is a fundamentally mediocre study design going to cap the mark regardless of how well the dissertation is written?
For anyone who has marked or completed an Honours/undergraduate dissertation, I’d really appreciate some honest perspectives. I’m probably catastrophising because I’m at the end of the process, but I genuinely can’t tell anymore whether my study is reasonably acceptable or just objectively bad lol.
Hey, I’m coming to UWA next year from Adelaide to do mining Eng. Was thinking of getting a standard room at UniHall, what is everyone’s thoughts on this? Is it worth it or should I look at non student acccom? It doesn’t seem too overpriced for what it is and I feel like I will be able to make friends aswell.
Hi. I'm planning to drop a compulsory unit (before the census) for this semester to do it next year instead. I'm a full time domestic student doing all compulsory units this semester and onwards, so I'm wondering whether I could do an overload (5 units) next year. I'm also curious what will happen to my record if I do drop it, and what the process is if I do want to overload.
Thanks!
Has anyone else done acct1101 before? I’ve look through the subreddit and everyone says it’s easy but right now I’m finding that none of the lectures actually teach you the methods you’re supposed to use in the tutorial questions and I’ve never done any of this before! If you have any advice that would be great
Hey all, quick question about the JD. I've got a 78 WAM from my undergrad at UWA and have been out of uni for a couple years. I’m thinking of applying now for 2027 entry, but is it too late to have a shot at a CSP, or are those spots likely already filled? Thanks!
hey, guys i was wondering how long if took for prac payments to go through. I am going into week three of prac and still haven’t received anything and i built my whole prac/work life balance on the basis of the payment and i’m going to be struggling by week four if it still hasn’t come through.
I'm an International student in my 3rd year, but this issue has persisted since 1st and 2nd. It feels like every time I don't get something in the lecture, other people definitely do, even if they're not showing it. And because of this, it feels like every discussion is essentially giving me a lobotomy due to how much of a (self-perceived) idiot at times.
One thing I feel is that I want to make sure that I'm not alone in feeling like this and if any of you feel this way.
Yes, I know this is comparison syndrome and I have talked to a wellbeing officer about this, but I just want ways on how to reassure myself and not have it plague every Friday on my Semester.
I have been very prompt with the weekly submissions required (scoring full marks), have attended and am engaged in tutorials, and have no outstanding assessments.
I missed my first tutorial due to traffic, but I caught up and discussed it with my tutor.
I do not attend lectures in person because of a clash, and don't usually look at them until a week later, but is this really justified?
I live a 35-minute drive away from UWA and don't come to uni on a Monday, this email feels very passive-aggressive and forceful.
Am I justified in saying no? How should I handle this? I'm very intimidated by this from a UC. Please help!
i got 53% lol. i thought i was ready i sooooo wasn't. guessed a bunch. kinda awkward i can't do highschool level physics. if anyone is in similar situation what r u planning on doing to be more ready for the tests bc the revision content is sm easier.
Hi everyone! I’m an international student and this is my first semester at UWA, so I’m still getting used to the parking rules around campus.
I parked on Hackett Drive today in a P15 spot and unfortunately stayed longer than the 15-minute limit. I completely understand that I was in the wrong for overstaying and I'm happy to take responsibility for that.
However, I received two $60 City of Perth fines for the same offence, one at 10:21 am and another at 10:51 am. The car hadn't moved in between, so that's $120 from the same parking incident within 30 minutes.
Has anyone here had something similar happen around UWA/Hackett Drive? If so, did you appeal the second fine, and was the City of Perth willing to waive it or give a warning?
Would really appreciate any advice or experiences from other students. Thank you!
Hey there! Am reaching out with the hopes of finding people who have taken this unit in previous years? Theres a mid-sem for this and wanted to know if there were some tips on how to ace this and your personal exp w the unit!😭 thank you!
I won't go into details (firstly for privacy but also because I don't know her experience) but someone in one of my classes has told me that they feel unsafe, specifically that a certain tutor makes them feel unsafe. She wants to avoid all classes with them, and doesn't want to report it to the UC in case it disadvantages her. It concerns me and I want to help somehow and I tried looking on the uni and guild websites, but I don't know what options she has?
I could see she's clearly visibly upset/shaken even being in the class with him and I want her to report it.
I'm in the same unit and there are multiple tutors and its just this one apparently, and imo he's not "essential" to the class (like not a lecturer or coordinator). There aren't options to switch classes, and its a lab/workshop which means its harder to catch up on if we don't go.
Just got offered a scholarship this morning, but I dunno how to accept it, I’ve checked my uwa apply account and it’s not showing up anywhere,
Any tips?
Guys, I left my umbrella in the business school this morning after my 10am class (room 161). Went back to check if it was there and also checked the lost and found and there was no sign of it.
Please let me know if you have seen it :(
If you were notified that your data may have been leaked in the security breach in June, it might be worth checking your MyGov account and changing passwords and security settings. I had an email this morning that notified me of multiple wrong password attempts to my MyGov account, which I haven’t had happen to me before the data leak! I’ve heard it’s very common at tax time, where the hacker/scammer changes the bank account that your tax return will be deposited into. Always worth double checking if you’re worried it might happen to you :)
