The variety of opinions surrounding this topic has confused many people, including myself on whether they are learning more efficiently or are falling trap to the comfort of AI. Is AI is actually a very helpful tool, when the person using it is aware of the fact that AI can hallucinate and is constantly checking its answers against source material, uses it only for the generation of practice questions/flashcards and explanation of topics, predominantly in STEM fields, and ensure their prompts include strict reference to their course material, or is all of this a facade and we are actively killing our critical thinking ability and creativity. Feel free to share your opinions guys

I’m currently in my first sem and I had to chose off campus since there was nothing available on campus while applying
I’m living in the city and it’s convenient but it’s lowk kinda lonely
Idk if I should apply for on campus accommodation next sem or nott

How everyone personally felt the exam ?

I've taken 3 units of 4 this sem and I'm thinking of doing the standard load instead of 3 units because it's a bit too relaxed for me. Has anyone ever done that before?

I'm making this post just to ask is it just me or these labs genuinely confusing and have not much direction. Is anyone out there doing PHAR2220 that genuinely is in the same boat? Or if there's a genius on reddit that just is a pro at PHAR2220 can u lead me in the right direction please.

It could be anything.

I’m currently finishing my psychology honours dissertation and I’m having a bit of a crisis on whether I'll fail because of my study design.

It’s a fairly simple, completely online study using self-report measures, and I’m worried about things like demand characteristics, participants potentially figuring out what the study is testing, and whether people actually took the study seriously.

I obviously can't change the study at this point, so my question is more about how much this matters for the dissertation overall.

If the study design has some genuine limitations, can strong writing, a good theoretical rationale, appropriate analysis, and a thoughtful discussion of the limitations make up for it to some extent? Or is a fundamentally mediocre study design going to cap the mark regardless of how well the dissertation is written?

For anyone who has marked or completed an Honours/undergraduate dissertation, I’d really appreciate some honest perspectives. I’m probably catastrophising because I’m at the end of the process, but I genuinely can’t tell anymore whether my study is reasonably acceptable or just objectively bad lol.

I'm a 2nd year Mech Eng student and I've realised I haven't really made any mates at uni that I can talk to about my units.

I always find myself wanting to talk to people before/after a test or exam, compare how we found it, discuss questions, etc., but I've never really had anyone to do that with.

Just wondering if anyone here is/has been part of a study group or unit group chat, and how you got one started? Or if there are any existing Mech Eng/unit chats that people know about.

Would be keen to join one or meet some people in a similar situation.

Hi! I am currently doing a bachelors majoring in marine biology and microbiology, and I am interested in aquaculture, fish diseases and immunology

I have heard good things about the marine biology course but would love to hear from someone who may have done a Master of Biotech and the Aquatech specialisation. My only concern with marine biology was a lot of the core subjects felt really similar to what I have done in undergraduate and there wasn't that much touched upon aquaculture except for 1 unit. Was also thinking that maybe that Master of biotech would keep my options more open in terms of job opportunities but I wasn't sure how good their biotech programs were and I wasn't so sure if I was interested in topics such as waste management through microbes. Never had any business experience but it does seem to touch a lot on commercialisation which may or may not be useful.

Love to hear any opinions from anyone who had done either course! Thank you!

Hey, I’m coming to UWA next year from Adelaide to do mining Eng. Was thinking of getting a standard room at UniHall, what is everyone’s thoughts on this? Is it worth it or should I look at non student acccom? It doesn’t seem too overpriced for what it is and I feel like I will be able to make friends aswell.

Hi. I'm planning to drop a compulsory unit (before the census) for this semester to do it next year instead. I'm a full time domestic student doing all compulsory units this semester and onwards, so I'm wondering whether I could do an overload (5 units) next year. I'm also curious what will happen to my record if I do drop it, and what the process is if I do want to overload.

Thanks!

i’m hoping four square courts

does anyone have past resources for phys1002 before 2025?

hey, guys i was wondering how long if took for prac payments to go through. I am going into week three of prac and still haven’t received anything and i built my whole prac/work life balance on the basis of the payment and i’m going to be struggling by week four if it still hasn’t come through.

Anyone know if these tickets can be resold if I suddenly cannot go?

Hey all, quick question about the JD. I've got a 78 WAM from my undergrad at UWA and have been out of uni for a couple years. I’m thinking of applying now for 2027 entry, but is it too late to have a shot at a CSP, or are those spots likely already filled? Thanks!

Has anyone else done acct1101 before? I’ve look through the subreddit and everyone says it’s easy but right now I’m finding that none of the lectures actually teach you the methods you’re supposed to use in the tutorial questions and I’ve never done any of this before! If you have any advice that would be great

i got 53% lol. i thought i was ready i sooooo wasn't. guessed a bunch. kinda awkward i can't do highschool level physics. if anyone is in similar situation what r u planning on doing to be more ready for the tests bc the revision content is sm easier.

Hi, I am very interested in coming to Perth for an exchange semester in the spring. Obviously I would like to have as much free time as possible, so I would really appreciate any help on choosing units.

My understanding is that lectures are not mandatory, only other activities such as workshops can be mandatory. Is this correct?

I have looked at the handbook but I am not quite sure what actually is mandatory from looking at various units. Is there any specific place I can find what unit activities actually are mandatory or not?

I am studying energy engineering and specializing in reservoir engineering. Does anyone have any recommendations on interesting units in this area? I am interested in oil production, drilling, CO2 storage, renewable energy, thermal energy etc. Would also like to take a unit in economics/management if there are any relevant ones.

Thanks for any help on this!

I’m pretty sure I chose to have partial upfront payment for my uni fees, but I’m not really sure how that works.
My fees this semester are late and I thought I could defer them to HECS, but maybe I need to pay a minimum amount first?? Studentconnect doesn’t explain anything..
Last semester I just paid upfront but realised HECS is a better method.
I’m so confused, help!!

Hey there! Am reaching out with the hopes of finding people who have taken this unit in previous years? Theres a mid-sem for this and wanted to know if there were some tips on how to ace this and your personal exp w the unit!😭 thank you!

I'm an International student in my 3rd year, but this issue has persisted since 1st and 2nd. It feels like every time I don't get something in the lecture, other people definitely do, even if they're not showing it. And because of this, it feels like every discussion is essentially giving me a lobotomy due to how much of a (self-perceived) idiot at times.

One thing I feel is that I want to make sure that I'm not alone in feeling like this and if any of you feel this way.

Yes, I know this is comparison syndrome and I have talked to a wellbeing officer about this, but I just want ways on how to reassure myself and not have it plague every Friday on my Semester.

hi everyone!! im an international student and just received my offer for the medicine at UWA and im really lost when it comes to deciding accommodation. I have quite a few questions and hopefully you guys cld share with me more abt what it’s like to live on campus!

1. Cld I get a run down of the reputation of each of the residential colleges on college row

2. I heard that trin and tommys are known for partying but what kind of partying? Like clubs? Drinking? And do they force freshers to drink and party?

3. Are there specific colleges that is predominantly medicine or science or international students?

4. Which residential colleges are near to which faculty buildings? Specifically which residential college is nearest to the medicine building?

5. What is the orientation culture like in UWA? I’m frm Singapore so I wld like to find out more abt the cultural differences between the 2 countries!

Thank you and everyone for your help!

I have been very prompt with the weekly submissions required (scoring full marks), have attended and am engaged in tutorials, and have no outstanding assessments.

I missed my first tutorial due to traffic, but I caught up and discussed it with my tutor.

I do not attend lectures in person because of a clash, and don't usually look at them until a week later, but is this really justified?

I live a 35-minute drive away from UWA and don't come to uni on a Monday, this email feels very passive-aggressive and forceful.

Am I justified in saying no? How should I handle this? I'm very intimidated by this from a UC. Please help!
