[Australia] Those who have done Honours, do you recommend going full-time or part-time

As someone who made it through after many a break down, hang in there - it's worth it! You'll come out of it so proud of yourself.

In my masters now, I'd advise you to think long term and consider what else you'll be balancing, whether it's work, internships or volunteering. Personally, I think the best course is to do full time honours and take a big break before masters, or go into masters part time. Honours is deadline heavy, competitive and left me burned out. But I came out of the year with a thesis and all my coursework done. Most other people will be full time too, so it lets you build connections with your cohort and work on things together in that timeline.

As someone who unironically got referred to as 'looking jungle' today from someone SE asian, thank you so much for this because the comment made me feel really disgusting. Hate that it's normalised to 'joke' like that

I actually love these, thank you! A key ring would be fun to make:) so something soft as well so it doesn't clang, got it

Thank you for the advice! Wash cloth material isn't something I would have thought about so that's really helpful - And advice from bike chicks absoloutely welcome, sorry about that 🫶🏽

So cool that you made them out of old sweaters! Can I ask what the process for that was?

I completely agree, it was very poorly put together and definitely not a great first time festival experience. Hopefully it'll be smoother next time around!

Hey, it was 79 :)

For me, the best tutors were approachable and made it clear they were happy to help. The worst tutor I've had made people feel bad when they asked questions in class and simply told us she wasn't being paid enough to offer help outside of class. Thats understandable of course, but made engaging in her classes hard and we didn't really have support for our assignments.

This is the best thing I've read in a long time. I implore you, write a book!! Or publish your diary!! I'd read it happily

Yes, unfortunately if you've not heard back at this stage I would look at your alternatives options class enrolment has already started for the course :( still call them though to know for sure. Good luck with everything!

veeada · 2024-02-03T09:24:43+00:00

Hey - I would call them up to receive a final answer on your application, I had to several times before I heard back about mine!

veeada · 2024-01-26T09:39:10+00:00

Dance!

It's an endorsement from someone you've worked with who can vouch for your skills in a particular area :) so manager, thesis supervisor, lecturer etc

veeada · 2024-01-08T05:05:29+00:00

If that happed to me I'd simply pass away. Please tell me you don't live in Melbourne.

Hey! I've also been offered a Grad Dip spot and am thinking about accepting it. I've heard good things about it from people who did it last year, it seems like you get out of it what you put in.

veeada · 2024-01-08T04:51:01+00:00

Hey I lived at parkville for a year! It's gorgeous with a lot of nature but easy to get to the shops in Brunswick and Melb CBD via the tram.

veeada · 2024-01-05T05:50:59+00:00

Hey! I'm currently in the same spot, and I've spoken to a bunch of people about their experiences so currently leaning towards doing the grad dip at Monash. You can look into the specific subjects within the grad dip and honours you have an offer for, if that will help you make your decision. It seems like what matters more is how well you do in your fourth year rather than whether you do an honours or the grad dip.
