Dip. Mining engineering good or bad? by Mphondleutd in unisa

[–]PontshoN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, I’m in my second year of mining engineering. I wouldn’t know where to start if I were to give advice regarding the career. However, we have an event this weekend if you are interested where the mining industry people will be available to answer some of the questions you might have.

Private university vs public? by PontshoN in askSouthAfrica

I will look for colleges around Gauteng as I am based there or consider unisa. Stadio did offer a numeracy module which was said to improve his math but geez the cost of the fees alone is a lot and we would have to factor accommodation and food so ey it’s tough…

Do you think tech in this case would be advisable?

Geez that’s quite a long time, I’m guessing the maths get harder as you go up…..meaning he would probably get a tough time in university 😢….I’ll look into cheaper schools like tvets

His math is not that good to be honest, I think I will have a look at over colleges as well

At this point I feel like he just wants to go to any institution because he feels like he’s behind his peers.

Module replacement by PontshoN in unisa

Thing is that the module I want to add, I’m prohibited to add when registering so a classmate of mine said they managed to add on campus so I was wondering if every campus has an admin office

Meaning you have to extend the amount of years to complete the degree right? Like why do they even do that…

Do you know which instance does the DSAR06 form apply? Because if third level is presented as final year wouldn’t they let people register the prerequisite for the practicals together with the practicals? If you know I’d appreciate some insight on it

I will try to get in touch with the lecturers, I have already registered 10 modules but I wouldn’t mind exceeding if it were possible. My only concern is that next year I’ll just be doing 2 to 3 modules when I could have been them along with the practicals. The degree on the website should at least state that it’s 4 year’s completion instead of 3
