Unis alright...nothing is ever perfect... but good enough.
Same here. law is just a fuckin wank at the moment. I am actually enjoying the commerce subjects.Originally posted by krayziekarnevil
edit: commerce is ok, but law is shit.... so so so fucking shit
um... UAI has absolutely nothing to do with course difficulty, and everything to do with course demand. i would say that things like engineering are probably the hardest courses you could do at uni, yet the UAI's at even the top uni's are like low 70's - low 80's at their highest.Originally posted by Leanne
all u ppl whinging...i really cant believe u! All those doing law and sciences etc...did u really not expect the workload to be huge?? why do you think that such a high uai is necessary??
same here....!! For me , uni is the big step towards my BRIGHT FUTURE!! n in my life!!!!Originally posted by Leanne
well i'm loving uni!! Mind u, i have always been a workaholic and doing all the work on my own doesnt really worry me- i love a challenge!
Uni is just the next big step in my life...
well we don't know what will be tested, and maybe we want to understand things. and maybe we need good grades to continue with our course and a pass is not good enoughOriginally posted by jlh
i'm surprised how the other first years write everything down in the lectures and to the unnecessary extras.. LOL... they're all busy writing and i'm just there sitting and listening.. LOL...
i think later on you will come to the realisation that a pass is damn good.. and anything above that is even better!!Originally posted by iambored

actually, no standards are set in any course except medicine that i know of. probably a portfolio for some art degrees. it's all just down to demand as to what the cut-off is like. do you understand how the cut-off system works? basically they start with the people who got 100 uai's and keep letting people into whatever course until it's full- the lowest uai that is let in then becomes the cut off. for new courses, there is no upper or lower boundary set. it, like everything else, rests solely on demand/who puts it on their preferences.Originally posted by Leanne
is anyone who doesnt like uni go to macquarie? Cos so far i havent heard of anyone who isnt satisfied there....
Spin spin, yeah i no that uai has nothing to do with course difficulty.....but wouldnt it be stupid to allow ppl who can only manage a uai of 50 to get into sumthing like medicine? they have to set standards t begin with...and then comes along the course demand....
really?? i sort of thought that they would have to.....thats interesting...i apologise for being wrong....Originally posted by spin spin sugar

so yeah... there is no setting of standards to begin with.
they should. if they don't, it's fucked. it really pisses me off how low the UAI's for regular engineering are as well... because they're just going to get a bunch of people who aren't capable. they should have different selection criteria... physics & maths marks or something.Originally posted by ...
hmm..i think aeronautical engineering(space) in usyd has a standard too..hmm..someoen confirm this
it's a pretty flawed system.Originally posted by Leanne
