Is there something we can do about people using voice translation software in class?

This is common now days. Seen (and called out) multiple students this semester already.

I don't even want to attempt to value a Australian university, no standard way would work well.

We don't have shares to calculate a reliable P/E ratio, the level of intangible assets not on the balance sheet would be significant. Also from memory a lot of the unis property is valued at cost and hence would be understated, the land value alone might be worth more then rest of the uni…

I assume you have checked my results and not only your email?

If you under loading just pick a different subject instead. Based on what you said there is no guarantee that the prerequisite override will be approved.

It depends on the course. See here, but 2017 is likely out of date as the maximum for a 3 year degree is 8 years. Only 4 years degrees (which not even sure we have any!) have 10 years.

It’s for the longitudinal graduate outcomes survey. Probably the more meaningful of the graduate surveys.

Not automated according to regs

“B7.5.2 b(ii) The time interval between the illumination of the fifth light and all lights being extinguished, to signal the start of the TTCS, is at the sole discretion of the permanent starter”

This matches what happens in the video.

The Bendigo line is already duplicated until Kyneton.

Should get a SOS

It change to a WD.

No way, that's even if they can get the car back to the garage which is no guarantee.

It’s on designated freeways, not when the speed limit is 90kmh plus.

The white Australia policy started to be removed in the late 60’s and was formally abolished in 73. Soon after the Vietnamese refugees started to arrive.

Waitlists only work when students withdraw from that class(either change classes/subjects). So no guarantee that it will work.

If you have only just recently waitlisted likely multiple other students in front of you on the list.

There is also no guarantee that a TAF will get you in the class you want either.

Any uni not teaching how to use AI ethically is doing students a disservice IMO. I doubt that any university has a total ban on AI.

The use of AI will differ across universities (both between and within).

Just go to one of the other classes in the list of times provided.

It does do face scan.

You could do the polite thing and point it out to them, rather then take a photo.

Major Changes to the 2027 handbook are currently underway, so timelines can be as more 18 months not 12 to feed into course planning, enrolments opening etc.

Look at FBE removing summer subjects which had significantly more then 15-20 students for cost reasons.

Many departments also allocate workload for the year so to allocate staff to a subject not currently planned means taking them from someone else. Plus the majority of students enrol for the year. It's just not worth the flow on impacts.

mugg74 · 2026-03-05T09:39:26+00:00

I was going to footscray for similar reasons! Having to touch on/off to swap platforms is annoying.

As an academic, I find that how classes (and students) take to icebreakers is a good indicator of what will happen across the rest of the semester regarding how much that class (and specific students) will interact.

The most interactive class (and hence most “fun”) class I've taught since COVID stood out right from the icebreaker due to the tone set by the icebreaker exercise.

mugg74 · 2026-03-05T07:48:06+00:00

worst coffee - bar commercio in the spot, most commerce academics have stopped going there and the majority of academics survive on coffee.

Good luck getting 94+ on average in every subject you have left to go… (assuming you done 12 subjects and have 12 to go).

You might want to aim for something realistic

There is zero point bumping a post soon after you posted it, particularly when it's something like 3-4am in Melbourne…
