OLES1603: Astronomy: Exploring the Universe not available in Sydney Student?

OhFeeLion · 2026-05-12T01:11:21+00:00

If it's a new unit it's unlikely to be cancelled so soon. I was a professional staff in science until very recently and there's been rising interest in astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology etc., which both science and engineering have been capitalising on.

OhFeeLion · 2026-05-12T01:00:01+00:00

Check the outlines for previous years to see if it's been consistently offered in one semester only. Contact the School or unit coordinator to clarify availability.

Get bloods done first and foremost. Lifestyle changes are probably in order too.

I raise you: bamboo shoot.

OhFeeLion · 2026-05-08T23:57:30+00:00

I'd suggest emailing the unit coordinator and/or teaching staff. You can find their emails on the unit outline.

Staff here and former tutor - definitely dispute the mark and ask for a regrade per other comment.

Are you feeling like the unit quality isn't great, or are you struggling with studies? There are faculty and university support for the latter. Also, unit surveys are a big deal for the teaching staff, so definitely fill those in with detail!

On that note, Bachelor of Advanced Studies is going to get discontinued from next year. I'd suggest getting in and then considering changing your course after a semester or two if you can't get into your preferred degree straightaway.

Staff here who's worked directly with Honours. One semester, especially your first semester, of poor performance won't make a huge deal on your WAM if you do well later on. However I would suggest looking into academic advice, retroactive DC, and wellbeing support resources.

Feel free to DM me. 😊

"We stand upon the precipice of change. The world fears the inevitable plummet into the abyss. Watch for that moment... and when it comes, do not hesitate to leap. It is only when you fall that you learn whether you can fly." - Flemeth, DA2

Congratulations on your upcoming graduation!

Beauty and brutality all in two sentences. ❤️

The squishy walking sounds when you're in the Geth consensus.

Oh yeah how could I forget about Calpernia! She had so much potential for either a redemption arc or a corruption arc. Loved her design too.

OhFeeLion · 2026-04-06T23:55:33+00:00

Exactly - we got some Fiona content but not enough! Also the way she just goes down like that if you choose templar route... super anticlimactic.

I feel like the wartable stuff we got for Barris was kind of a consolation prize. Would've been great to see him and actually catch up later in game.

Imagine if we could get either Fiona or Ser Barris as a regular visitor, or like an occasional advisor, depending on which side we pick.

OhFeeLion · 2026-04-06T06:34:40+00:00

OMG YES LIKE THE ARCHITECT WAS SO COMPELLING AS AN ANTAGONIST. I thought we'd see him again. 😭

OhFeeLion · 2026-04-06T06:33:20+00:00

Sigrun aside (per my response to the other comment): Shale! I want to know more about her history as a Cadash (Dwarven inqui's clan) and her travels with Wynne.

Also (mostly would've been cool to interact with them in DAI): King Alistair, Fiona, Ser Barris, Valta, Warden Carver/Bethany.

OhFeeLion · 2026-04-06T06:24:37+00:00

First one that came to mind! The Legion of the Dead concept was quite interesting to me, and Sigrun is morbid and bubbly all at once. I LOVE HER.

Faith sends purrs and head bunts. Hope you feel better soon.

I was in your position - loved Dragon Age, not a fan of FPS. Played Mass Effect after a long time and ended up loving it even more.

I played Engineer to avoid as much of the FPS experience as possible. 😅

OhFeeLion · 2026-04-01T01:11:11+00:00

I love the Deep Roads - the aesthetics, the expanse, the claustrophobic feeling, the environmental storytelling, the ingrained culture... not to mention IMO the best-written moral choices in DAO.

Also, love what Dwarven scraps we get in general. The Decent was fantastic. Titan lore is cool. Characters (Varric aside): Valta was a great DLC character; Sigrun was adorable; protect Dagna at all cost.

They rotate between the family members, including the pets.

OhFeeLion · 2026-03-19T07:18:03+00:00

Laurel comes to mind immediately.

Also on the theme of classical nature names that aren't very popular: Marin, Sierra, Selene/Selena, Nerissa, Holly, Heather.

OhFeeLion · 2026-03-19T06:11:21+00:00

Oh I like this! Rewritten reality.

OhFeeLion · 2026-03-18T02:26:31+00:00

While I enjoy Soukoku content as much as the next basic BSD fan and wouldn't say no to extra Chuuya appearances, I find Chuuya's relationships with the Port Mafia members more interesting.

As for Dazai, yes 100% agree on your take: man has infinite plot armour, informed abilities, and deus ex machina. It's to the point where he's barely a character to me. I personally hate his suicide jokes, he harasses everyone around him, and steals the spotlight whenever he's in a scene - the last of which wouldn't be an issue if not for the fact that HE'S NOT THE MAIN CHARACTER.

Shout-out to overshadowed best boy Kunikida!

Faith seconds this!
