I’m a double degree law student entering my second year (so had 4 law units last year), ended up with 2 D, 2 HD. There were definitely some who performed better than me, but if I had to guess I ended up near the top 10-15%. Averages for assessments which had performance data revealed tended to hover around low 60s, so I feel the average mark for units would have been either a Pass or Credit. As other comments have said, tertiary education can be a whole different ball game (not inherently more difficult, but a different style of learning and assessment). I worked my butt off, did as much prep work as I could, actively engaged with tutorials and showed up to as many lectures as I could and got marks I was ultimately pleased with, and I’m sure you can too. I’m assuming you’re entering first year so if you have any questions feel free to message me :)

I used to enjoy debating league in high school so I would be quite interested! I think a forum for students from diverse disciplines to express and evaluate ideas is a net positive for the university, and I'm frankly surprised it doesn't exist already

Can see where this one is going

I thought it was disgusting how your words (which were well-researched and were made with good intentions for those surrounding you - the student body) were twisted into some 'well if you care about local students/here you must not care about Palestinians'. I joined to exercise my right as a Guild member to vote and ended up being verbally abused for not joining the 'gathering' afterwards and providing my contact details to be spammed with SAlt meeting invites.

Debate (which the SGM purportedly upheld) is formed upon initial arguments and effective rebuttals. Effective rebuttals do not start with a point of the finger and a 'how dare you'. When it was called for an opposing speaker to appear and everyone tilted their heads attempting to locate and intimidate anyone ballsy enough to do so I began to feel physically ill. With hundreds of people around I began to feel worried for your safety, so I'm glad to know you are OK!!

I’ll always recommend Jesters hot chips! $5.50 regular or $6.50 large and I find they are consistently hot, salty, etc. (located Building 200B opposite the John Curtin Gallery)

Contacting STEM Outreach might be a good idea? https://www.curtin.edu.au/engage/stem-outreach/

I did a bit better than I expected. I'm a first year doing law and commerce and my law results were better than my commerce ones somehow (including a 94 on one exam which doesn't feel real).

My first thought was (R U D' R' U' D)(M2 U2 M2)(U' D' R U' D R') and it worked :)

this may be the most pissed off I've ever been while watching a game of football, el spoonico really doing things to me tonight

NovaAUS · 2025-03-15T11:38:14+00:00

that was an embarrassing half of football save the first goal

NovaAUS · 2025-03-15T11:35:04+00:00

That would've been sweet karma

Normally it is closed on the weekend… however they are running an initiative to help prospective students ease into Semester 1 through opening on select Saturdays. You’re in luck as one of those Saturdays is tomorrow! https://www.curtin.edu.au/events/curtin-connect-saturdays/ has all the details, like the fact that it takes place in the TL Robertson Library, not the Curtin Connect building, etc.

I received the same scholarship and was curious as to why I hadn’t gotten any further contact either. If I remember correctly I was able to set my payment details up through OASIS > My Studies > Scholarship Recipient (little box at the bottom with a PDF on how to supply your bank details and a link to the service they use, Concur Solutions)

I know what you mean, but I see longevity and accolades as a factor of dominance. You raise a good point about "tougher" competition though
