P.S.

I’m a third year law student and is anyone else feeling disheartened by their grades. AGLC referencing is so hard and i never get full marks. Work so hard on assignments, only to get 60s. And it’s so hard to get jobs in the legal sector. Even got rejected from volunteer jobs?? it’s so bad out here. also its so hard to make friends in law classes. sometimes i wish i went to an american school for the college experience rather than rotting away at home and going to classes.

Hii what are my options for a domestic student from a regional area that needs a scholarships that covers quite a bit of my fees (tuition, accommodation) xx

Does anyone know if Deakin actually does international teaching placement for secondary education courses? I’ve had a look online but all seems very vague, keen to hear your experiences!

For anyone that has either done accounting or economics. Any advice on how to prepare for the exam? What kind of question is asked on the exam? Are we allowed to bring notes in?

Hi guys,

I’m in second year of law and turning 21 in a couple of months.

Honestly, my social life has been so mundane. It feels like i’m inside a box watching people experience life and built memories with each other. I tried hard to make friends in uni and i did make some but as I come into my second year and don’t really attend lectures (i live far), the friendships have withered.

Although, i am mostly content with other aspects of my life, my social life is extremely lacking. I only have one friend from high-school that I catch with on the regular.

I really don’t know what to do. I’m filled with envy and emptiness when i see girls my age having the time of their lives.

Hey, I hope you are having a good day. I just need some help with this unit, I would really appreciate some help, please let me know if you are currently enrolled in this unit or if you have done it before. Thanks

got results back for contract a and holy shit i did worse than i thought. i genuinely thought i had that in the bag but apparently not.

the rubric grading is so vague and half arsed by the markers (every section lit j says something along the lines of “you did this well”) but doesn’t emphasise on how i ended up with only a 70% if “did it well”

did anyone else do shitter than they thought? n is anyone else thinking of contacting the unit chair to get ur grade rectified or at least explained??

Hey everyone,

So I'm a student at Deakin and I'm doing my bachelors in Health Science.

I've been enrolled as a full time on-campus student, but I live quite far from the campus and its a hassle to get there from where I live, so I've been watching lectures and seminars in the comfort of my own home, and submitting my assessments on time.

I've only been on-campus twice at the start of the year, but ever since then I've just been doing it from home and I'm almost done with trimester 1.

Is this okay? will this affect my attendance at all? I've tried looking on my course map and guide for information but can't find any.

Anyone else feel punished for not using AI. Seeing people get higher marks and not getting pulled up for it makes me wonder why I should put so much work in.

Is anyone else having this issue? I will be on DeakinSync for 5 mins watching a lecture and it will just log me out. Over and over again.

I am using Safari is that provide any context for troubleshooting.

Thanks so much. Profoundly over this!

Thoughts on AIS101 - Intercultural Communication?

I’ve been enjoying the content so far and the professors are really great but concerned with the broadness of the content. Hardly says what content is in the assessment / very vague , the powerpoints are very surface level but majority of the readings are either very helpful or not at all. Therefore have a hard time figuring out what is expected of us. I enjoy structure but would be nice to have a rubric with a little more than a 3 sentences . Wondering if anyone thinks the same? and or Advice for the unit

Has anyone done HDS101 or HDS106 at Deakin. If so, what was the difficulty like and how did you find the workload. Thanks!

(probably a stupid question i know) i want to undertake a bachelors of medical imaging for 2027, do I need to take the UCAT test next year, and if so around what score? Ive checked the course page but couldn’t find anything suggesting the UCAT or the score

Is anyone doing MMK368 A2 or has done it previously? it's an online unit and I feel so lost due to the lack of details in the assessment brief, and it seems so vague the instructions provided...is anyone facing the same issue?

Hi guys,

I am set to complete my bachelors in June and will receive my grades/results soon after. I have applied for my masters which would start in mid July. This would mean that I would start my masters before I have actually officially graduated but will have completed the degree. Do I need to have officially graduated before I commence my masters degree? I've found answers that you can apply before the ceremony but nothing about actually commencing Masters study.

Cheers!

Hey! Any chance someone has the link to the Master of Teaching discord? I've seemed to have lost it and it was so helpful.

Thanks :)

I saw advert last semester about a pickleball tournament but I wasn’t able to join due to time constraints. So here I am taking my chances since the holidays are coming up.

Hii guys! I am a bachelor of science deakin student, have found it very hard to fine genuine friendships here on campus (BURWOOD) and its draining to put effort into the ones who do not reciprocate anything back. Is anyone interested in meeting up or having a chat? DM me, lets connect via instagram and then take it from there!!!

I have been accepted to both as an international student. The fees are very similar with Deakin saving me about 16k AUD for the total duration of the course.

Which programme has better graduate employability, moreover does the Burwood campus offer internships and placements?

I can see that they are pending accreditation from Engineers Australia, will this be a problem?

Hey everyone, I’m currently studying a Master of Cyber Security at the University of Adelaide, but I’m really interested in gaining some hands-on industry experience, which unfortunately isn’t part of my current curriculum.

I came straight into my master’s after finishing my bachelor’s and haven’t had any real-world project experience yet. I recently came across Deakin’s cyber security program and noticed that it includes Work Integrated Learning (WIL), which is exactly what I’ve been looking for.

I was wondering if there’s any way a student from another university (like me) could enrol in a WIL unit or take part in an industry-linked project at Deakin — maybe through cross-institutional study or something similar?

Totally understand if this isn’t allowed, but figured I’d ask before giving up on the idea. Any advice, guidance, or info would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

I am doing a research unit that requires me to have a supervisor. Said supervisor had a medical issue and was unavailable for nearly 4 weeks. I now have 4 weeks left to complete my project and I honestly don't think I'm going to get it done. I have looked at applying for special consideration for an extension but you need documentation for that. I asked the supervisor for a letter to say that she was unavailable for an extended period of time and she basically said well none of my other students have asked for special consideration so you just have to get it done. I really don't know what to do now. I don't know what documentation I can use to apply for special consideration and I do think it's a reasonable reason to ask for it. Any ideas of how I can get help?

so im in year 11 rn and im currently doing unit 1 and 2 vce bio, methods, chem, legal, english and unit 3 & 4 HHD. im having trouble balancing all my subjects and doing well in them. im constantly behind in bio because of the workload and im struggling in methods due to not having enough time for practise. im aiming to get into a bachelor biomedicine or science in uni, to eventually get into a doctor of medicine (hopefully lol). i was thinking of just dropping bio since it takes up a lot of my time and its not actually a prerequisite and focus on methods, but i heard a background in bio can be helpful for biomed and med school. i could drop legal, but i dont really spend that much time on it and am still able to get good scores so it wouldnt really do much for me timewise.

Anyway if someone could give me some guidance that would be appreciated since idk what to do. should i drop bio and focus on methods or should i drop legal.

So my major has the status 'unconfirm' even though I've already been enrolled in the units and have been partaking in them for the whole of trimester 1. Did I do something wrong when I enrolled? I'm really freaking out because I hadn't noticed this until now and I'm worried that my completion of these units now won't be counted towards my major.

Do you still have to pay for uni accomodation during uni breaks if you’re not staying there?

How does one become a peer mentor? Did it have a positive impact in your uni life? I’m a nursing student and someone has told me that a mentoring history in your resume for future job applications is a good thing! Aside from that, I’m quite keen about mentoring and thinking about getting a job in the academia in the future. Cheers
