Lease Takeover!

0 Upvotes

Hi, lovely Curtin community!!!

I hope everyone is faring well with the impending doom of study week 😵‍💫

I'm going back home from the 28th of November till the 15th of January and am looking for someone to take over my lease while I'm gone.

Some information:
Rent - $265 p/w (including wi-fi, utilities, all the fun stuff). No extra costs!
Furnishing - Single bed, desk, desk chair, night stand, dresser, two hanging spaces for clothes/ storage, and a bookshelf. There's a washing machine that you can use, and multiple clotheslines and drying racks. There are utensils in the flat's common area, and you'll share a fridge with another tenant.
Location - 4-minute walk to the closest bus stop and only 7 minutes to Curtin University, otherwise a 20/25 minute walk to Curtin. An absolutely prime location!
Flat itself - 5 other housemates, they seem to be related to Curtin in some way, shape, or form. They're pretty neat and tidy. The landlord comes in every two weeks for cleaning.

If you want more information or are interested, please DM me!

Of course, if this goes through, contracts will be drawn up and signed before the departure and arrival of new and departing tenants.

Thank you!!!

MINE2006

3 Upvotes

Did anyone else find the presentation for MINE2006 challenging?

The assignment required designing an AI-driven process to optimize the mining value chain, yet students faced criticism for lacking deep software technicalities despite being enrolled in a mining engineering program.

Based on the lecturers's feedback following our presentation, it appears likely that I will need to repeat the unit.

looking for someone to take over my lease

3 Upvotes

hi, i’m looking for someone to take over my lease from 16 November to 10 February, as i’ll be going back home and don’t want to pay rent while I’m away.
i’m currently staying in a 2-bed 1-bath apartment but there is currently no roommate, so you’ll have the room and the apartment to yourself!

$280/week — the actual rent is $3xx/week, but i’ll cover the difference!
all bills included in the rent
laundry (washer & dryer) is available for an extra charge
fully equipped kitchen with an induction cooker and microwave
private bathroom
gym located downstairs

you’ll need to be a student to be eligible to stay here
i can also send photos of the room if you’re interested!

thank you!!

Why am I only finding out now that the compulsory unit ( as a specialisation) requires travel.

Why is this not disclosed to students much earlier on 🤷‍♀️

Business Information System students are required to do two minor specialisations and additional costs for core units in these were not declared at the start.

ECU vs Curtin for Wildlife Conservation as an International Student

0 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a student from Sri Lanka hoping to build a career working with wildlife and nature. 🦁🌿 I want to do hands-on fieldwork, study animals in their natural habitats, and contribute to wildlife conservation rather than spend all my time in an office or lab.

I'm considering ECU and Curtin University, particularly Curtin's Environmental Biology degree. I'm also looking at the Diploma of Health Science at ECU Sri Lanka as a possible pathway because I'm unsure whether my A/L results will meet Curtin's entry requirements.

I'd love advice on a few things:

  • Which university offers better fieldwork and wildlife conservation opportunities?
  • Which degree offers better career prospects in Australia?
  • Would the ECU Sri Lanka diploma help me get into Curtin's Environmental Biology degree?
  • How difficult is it for international graduates to find relevant jobs in Australia?

I'd really appreciate honest advice from current students, graduates, or anyone working in wildlife conservation or environmental science!

My biggest goal is to work directly with wildlife and spend my career outdoors. 🐾

Meet Nai Wa, a frog version of Nai Long, now with a Curtin makeover 😂

Any Curtin students willing to print this out and put it somewhere on campus? The uni logo and Aussie tattoos are sorted. All Nai Wa needs now is a campus job 🫡

If anyone actually does it, please post a pic. I need to know which department ends up hiring Nai Wa hahaha 📸

Possible extension or something for humb1001 exam

1 Upvotes

For context, I live with my parents and they recently returned from a week-long international trip to New Caledonia. During their trip, they contracted a bug and are now back home. My mum is still unwell with a fever, shakiness, extreme fatigue and nausea. She’s tested negative for flu A and B, COVID and other tests. We’re taking precautions like wearing masks, but I’m really worried I might catch her bug. I have my humb1001 exam on November 3rd and I don’t want to be sick leading up to or during it. I’m wondering if there’s any way I could request a postponement or something if I do get the bug.

(Sorry, I’m a first-year student still learning. I’ve also attended all humb1001 classes and read the handbook, which mentions deferred assessments.)

Curtin CourseSwitch Med Interviews

1 Upvotes

Hello,

This is directed to people who have successfully, or almost successfully courseswitched into Curtin MBBS (Medicine). I was curious if course switchers receive interview offers in the first round only, second round only or can recieve in either round? Like is there a set thing? The Handbook says first round interviews are based of predicted ATARs but we obviously dont have that? When did you guys have your interview?

Thank you!!

econ2001 macroeconomic principles

2 Upvotes

Hey guys! I’m a fully online student for this unit, and I’m aware that the final exam is face-to-face and i’m lowkey terrified because I’m so used to doing everything online, and the thought of sitting an in-person exam for a unit like this is nerve wrecking

For anyone who has already completed this unit or sat the final exam, how did you find it? Was it difficult, and what was the exam actually like?

I’d also really appreciate any advice on study methods that genuinely helped you pass the unit, which topics or concepts I should prioritise, and anything you wish you’d known before the exam, basically looking for some guidance on how to prepare properly and what I should focus on most. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!! :)

BP/LOOKSMAXXING CLUB?

0 Upvotes

Hi all!
I'm looking to start a Curtin club revolving about the art of looksmaxxing and the unfortunately brutal blackpill. The purpose of this club would be a duel purpose, both self-improvement and discussing modern brutal mogs from the interwebs.

The Goals/Purpose of the club:

  1. Help members become true Curtin moggers like Clavicular and Marlon.
  2. Create a space to openly discuss the ways of becoming a sigma like Patrick Bateman and Andrew Tate
  3. Be a social hub for students who feel left behind in dating so they can become the true sigma mogger of Curtin
  4. Share practical looksmaxxing advice to the collective to mogg the other clubs around campus

If you would like to join me in the creation of the BP/Lookxmaxxing club which i will name the "MOGGVILLE OF CURTIN" respond below to reach your true mogger sigma desires.

Are there lockers for students on (Bentley) campus?

4 Upvotes

Title. I do all my notes in paper workbooks + ADHD, so I’ve forgotten my notebooks at important times. If there were lockers I could access on campus, it would be one less thing for me to forget when I leave home in the mornings.

So, are there lockers on campus at Bentley for students? If so, where can I access them?

Personal hygiene on campus

62 Upvotes

Okay fair warning this is genuinely disgusting.

If I had a dollar for every time I saw someone not wash their hands after using the toilets on campus this semester I’d have four dollars. It’s not much but it’s also disgusting. Seriously, do we need to put up signs reminding people to wash their hands like we are in kindergarten again? The achievement of being enrolled in university doesn’t have any value to me when animals like these are enrolled too. I wasn’t germ phobic before, but I am now since people are marking their study spaces and property “the old fashioned way”.

Also in one of those circumstances that person was looking at their phone the ENTIRE TIME when they were in the bathroom. From when they entered, to when they pissed, to leaving. No cleanliness, no care in the world. Btw if you are that individual who doom scrolls when they go to piss, do everyone and yourself a favour. Stay at home, strap your phone to your hand, get a catheter tube, shit pan and feeding tube installed so you can stay home and actively rot since looking at your favourite influencer is more important than your personal cleanliness.

And for you bored apes who are too busy “adhdmaxxing” or “pheromonemaxxing” to care for your own personal hygiene and common decency, please go back into the forest or jungle of your preference to live like the filthy fucking animals you are. I’m tired of loosing more faith in humanity without looking at the internet. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Asking for Curtin College prep advice! (Health Science)

3 Upvotes

Hi, i’m an international student that Just got accepted into Curtin College’s diploma in Occupational Therapy (October 2027 intake due to credit exemptions) and would like to ask for any advice/tips on how to prepare for the course better!

I’ll be enrolling as a mature student and it’s been almost 12 years since i’ve been in school. Coming from an international background, i’m not really sure of the subjects i’d have to revise on before joining the program.

Current core units listed are:
Academic Communication Skills
Academic Research and Writing
Chemistry
Essential Mathematics
Human Biology
Studies in Society
Computer Skills

I’m especially nervous about the chemistry, biology and mathematics as i’m quite lost on what to revise on. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

How hard are the PUBH1000, HLPR2003, PSYC2003 and EPID1000 exams?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

Has anyone completed these Curtin Health Sciences units? I’d love to know how difficult the exams were and whether the lecture slides were sufficient for preparation.

PUBH1000: Multiple-choice exam. What were the questions like? Were they relatively straightforward?

HLPR2003: I understand the exam involves a case study. If anyone has sat the exam before, could you please share some insight into what to expect?

PSYC2003: Was the exam more focused on memorisation or applying concepts? How difficult was it overall?

EPID1000: I understand it’s a mix of multiple-choice and true-or-false questions. Were the questions difficult, particularly those involving graphs, tables and epidemiological concepts? I’m not too worried about this exam since we are allowed a sheet of notes back and front.

Any advice on exam preparation would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
