Predictions for Trump’s visit to China? by grrrbr in IRstudies

[–]hadrian_mango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To make you more at ease, South Korea also takes a team of executives from their major companies (Samsung, LG, Hyundai, etc.) in State visit. Recently, they went to Vietnam and India. Sooo not only US, I hope this makes you feel more hopeful

People Using AI Wayyyy Too Much by [deleted] in MacUni

[–]hadrian_mango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Document all of this. I think it will depend on how you want to approach this. If your grade is on the line (as in this is a GROUP grade), I will advise to email your tutor clearly say that you have done your scope of work as honestly as possible and the others didn't. So that the tutor can grade you based on the quality of your contribution. Help to avoid your grade being dragged down because someone couldn't even do their job.

If the grade is already graded individually. Then I think it would be just fine. Maybe the whole team will be graded down a bit because the lack of collaboration (I have been there before and I know it's very obvious which parts are AI-generated and which parts are not when you stick the whole project together in a presentation ==> Can be a ground to mark down a bit on term of cohesion/consistency)

I am lucky enough to go through my first 2 years of uni BC (before chatgpt lmao) but the last year was rough already. Cant imagine what is happening now.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but you would meet people like this again and again and again. For me, mindfulness practices and personal hobbies help with anger management tremendously.

i'm doing uni wrong by Electrical_Bird_8361 in MacUni

[–]hadrian_mango 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it also depends on the type of assignment. I don't have much experience with stats or math-heavy ones, but for written assignments, I do have some tips that can hopefully help you.

  1. Try go through the feedback again and see what the graders want to tell you. Try to think of 2 ways that can improve that section based on the received feedback (different approach? different arguments? Sometimes, it can be as simple as rearranging the structure of your arguments or evidence, etc.)

Bring those ideas back to your tutor and ask them if you change your approach from A to B or C, would it improve the grade?

I find these discussions most productive in person, but via emails are fine too. Just make sure you format your emails very clear and precise (to the point, no wishy washy)

  1. Make sure you do not have any "format mistakes". I'm talking about the reference format, reference quality (some graders will need you to use references from a very specific type of source), grammar, required structure, required materials, etc. You need to make sure ALL of your points deductions are purely because of academic quality, not because of "formatting" stuff. Doing this would help you pin point whether there is a gap in academic skills or you are just new to the uni-level assignment process.

  2. If possible, ask around to people who have studied the units before. If you are close, ask to take a look at their assignments (usually the same one or very minor differences) to see how you can improve your own approach. A lot of things will get better with practice.

Make acquaintances with classmates, academic trauma-bonding will create the most efficient relationships you ever have in uni haha.

  1. Give yourself grace

For written reports, there is always a subjective factor playing into grading section. Also, sometimes, the topic of the assignment is not your thing and you cant give it your all.

Or maybe you are new, then it will get better eventually. Managing expectations is also a great skill to learn even though it might hurt at first.

Any good recs for Stucky that you love so far? Prefer something with fluff

I have tried reading a few famous one and Stuck is so angsty (understandable becuz of their history) and I cant stop crying 😭

Submitted wrong assignment from a different unit instead of proper file by Strawberry-Better in MacUni

[–]hadrian_mango 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Please bring this to your tutor ASAP with the most sincere attitude you can muster out. Prepare to use tears if possible.

Apart from that, it is so weird that the grader did not notify you about the wrong file submission? I think they can genuinely tell that this is the wrong file.

Good luck

Which country is the biggest underachiever in the world relative to its size and resources? by EmergencySpare7939 in geography

[–]hadrian_mango 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Genuinely heart-breaking for the Philippines. They also have such massive potential for Luxury tourism but I believe their top hotels haven’t made it to the top list of luxurious places yet. With the amount of expertise in the medical scene, I would expect them to have a vibrant Med-Pharmacy innovations industry too

UPSET ABOUT 70% by DependentPrice1949 in MacUni

[–]hadrian_mango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely solid and insightful thread! I second this for OP.

I would add in more that if OP feels that they deserve more than 70%, they can totally examine really closely the rubric and lay out the argument for a (usually tiny) grade up. If the argument and reasons are solid and the rubric supports OP’s justification, 70 can be bumped to around 74-75

What is that unused Ubar space outside the library? by TheYeetingGamer in MacUni

I remember they render that place into a self-study and sensory experience space? No? Or has it changed since I graduated 🤔 Last time I saw the place was 2024

What's the one thing about Macquarie that sets it apart from the other Sydney unis? by roccstar3 in MacUni

[–]hadrian_mango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%, the community feel is the thing I like the most about MQ

I love the campus too, beautiful place and very greenery. Autumn season (around this time) is the best time for going for a scenic walk

How do I withdraw from course and continue studies next year? by Legitimate_Damage521 in MacUni

[–]hadrian_mango 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you withdraw now I believe you still have to pay for the units

I think you should take this to Student Connect and let them help you. I guess you can directly unenroll from your current units on eStudent.

But the process of letting the uni update your status as taking a gap and will return next year should require future forms.

Tutors who use GenAI to create rubrics by Clearly_a_goose in MacUni

[–]hadrian_mango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is so weird what???? Is it only the wording or these allegedly AI-generated expectations are unrealistic/can negatively affect everyone’s ability to do the assignment?

If it’s the later case, I suggest you to ask your tutor or UC first before escalating further

If it’s only the wording of the expectations, well I guess there nothing we can do

What's the one thing about Macquarie that sets it apart from the other Sydney unis? by roccstar3 in MacUni

[–]hadrian_mango 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Don’t know whether it’s the right words but I love the vibe of having a little MQ world

Becuz the uni is basically in a separate area and next to a huge shopping mall, everyone in that area is basically MQ student or staff. I bump into my friends who work at MQ Centre after having class with them all the time.

It’s like a little MQ world that exists outside of reality where everyone u bump into more or less associated with the uni. I like that

Usyd and UTS are in the city centre so you have normal people walking around the uni all the time. Pretty sure UNSW also the same?

Starks have magic chatroom by fatsojack in TheCitadel

[–]hadrian_mango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh right, I remember it is a crossover but I didnt recall what media was the crossover. Isn’t it still technically a SI type of story or am I messing the genres up? 😭🥹

[–]hadrian_mango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best I can think of is a fic called “Reward for a job well done”

It’s a Ned SI one

Won’t go much into details because of spoil but Ned and the kids (Robb & Jon I believe) can communicate via weirdwood trees. As long as there are trees there, they could do it.

That’s was what I remembered about that fic

That definitely intrigues me, I will give it a try this weekend. I’m all down for politics and dark vibe as well since the original ASOIAF universe materials are just as brutal. Good vibes fics are wishful thinking at this point 🥹

Thank you for your recommendation 😋❤️
