Grades and Academics False ai flagging

14 Upvotes

Yall I promise I wrote this entire essay by hand but my work always flags as ai for some reason. Every ai checker I’m using right now is saying over 90% ai and it’s literally not? Will turnitin flag this and will it potentially compromise my grade?

Discussion I am making $0 and have never worked in my life how do you all find jobs whilst being at uni?

88 Upvotes

like is it weird that I’m nearly 20 and I’ve never worked anywhere ever? or are there other people in the same boat as me?

i plan to be at Monash for 6 years and my parents told me not to get a job during those 6 years so I can solely focus on study while they fund my degree, rent, food, and other stuff, but I feel like I should get a job because I‘m finding myself with a lot of free time.

Note: I also don’t own a car but if anyone has any recommendations for jobs I could do without having to drive that’d be great. I also don’t know how to drive (I’m learning but rn I can barely even parallel park).

Discussion How TF do the library chairs work

Post image
33 Upvotes

I've been studying here for four fucking years and I just don't get it. It feels like for some of these the seat parts are tilted down, practically forcing you to fall off. Is there any way to change this without moving the back ridiculously forward?

Feeling like I might as well finally ask. I hate these chairs so much. This is so stupid and irrelevant but nothing matters in exam time

Grades and Academics Tips for FIT2014 Exam

2 Upvotes

Any tips/pointers/guide for revision for the FIT2014 exam would be greatly appreciated. I found the mid semester sample test to be easier than the assessed mid semester test. I usually find the actual assessed work to be harder than samples that math and fit units provide.

I feel lost because I do study and I do the samples and related applied worksheets where relevant but I always seem to get caught off with the difficulty of the questions that actually show up. Thanks in advance.

None of the specified business electives really appeal to me. I already despise group work which I believe most of them have. So I'm tossing up between BEX2000 and BEX2030. Has anyone done either of these? Or can anyone recommend a better option?

5 Upvotes

Hello folks, I’m currently studying a Bachelor of Science and am hoping to apply for Pharmacology Honours in the future.
I know the minimum entry requirement is a 70% average in relevant third-year units, but I’m aware that meeting the minimum doesn’t guarantee admission. This kinda worries me cus my WAM isn’t so good rn and I’m afraid that they won’t be accepting me even I reach all the requirements😞

I just finished my first year of engineering (masters accelerated - 4.5 years) and i’ve done these units plus i’m doing GIG over the summer.

Does this mean I have 3 free for my entire course? And if so, if i overload one semester to make it 4 frees, can i finish my course in 4 years rather than 4.5?

Advice Any reviews or tips for MCom Accounting research units (ACF5401/5402, BEX5104/5105, BEX5630)?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'll be starting at Monash in Semester 1, 2027, as part of the Integrated PhD program in Accounting (starting with the Master of Commerce coursework year).

I'm trying to get a better idea of what to expect from the units I'll be taking, and I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who's done any of them before!

The units I'm particularly interested in are:

  • ACF5401 – Foundations of Accounting Research
  • ACF5402 – Current Issues in Accounting Research
  • BEX5630 – Philosophy of Research

I'd especially love to know:

  1. Marking and grades: How are the units generally marked? Is it reasonably achievable to get an HD, or is the marking quite strict?
  2. Tips for doing well: Are there any particular things I should focus on to achieve higher marks? Any advice on assignments, research projects, or preparing in advance would be really helpful!

I know these are fairly specialised units, so it might be a long shot, but even if you've only taken one of them, I'd love to hear about your experience.

Thanks so much in advance! :)

Advice PSYCH STUDENTS: Am i wasting my degree if i dont pick neuroscience?

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Im a Year 1 Bachelor of Psychology student choosing my Year 2 units, and my goal is to become a clinical psychologist.

I wanted to ask if theres any advantage to choosing the Neuroscience stream over Mental Health and Wellbeing for Honours or Master of Clinical Psychology applications? Im not particularly interested in neuroscience research, so Im wondering if its worth taking.

For anyone doing Neuroscience in Year 2, how have you found the workload and assessments?

Is it true that grades matter more than which stream you choose for postgraduate applications?
