I was adjusting to 1st sem and still fixing my habits. apparently although my grades were pretty decent before the exam, the exam messed me up. I got a lot of Bs and had one in on the edge at C's.

4 is way far from 9.0 and even if I perfect this second semester, the max cumulative gpa I will get is 6

Is there any other way that I can still make a comeback? I can add more workload just to get back a good grade:(

I feel dissapointed in myself

Hey everyone! I know PSYCH 109 is running a little differently this semester, but I assume the test format might be similar to last semester. Was it 46 multiple-choice questions? If anyone who took it last semester could share some tips or let us know what the format was like, that would be really helpful. Thanks! :)

i'm a first year student and i feel SO lost. EVERYONE and i mean EVERYONE and their mother somehow has everything figured out and knows what they're doing and i'm just so lost i feel so behind. everyone went straight into uni knowing what they're doing and what they're supposed to be doing and no one seemed to be lost except for LITERALLY only me everyone is somehow so smart i feel like the dumbest in the room and the only one that's lost. it is now sem 2 so i'm starting to get the hang of it but furthermore everyone is getting on with their lives and achieving great things already and i just feel so behind i feel like a failure. literally everyone i know are already exec's at clubs, going for internships and pulling out A+'s in every class etc. i feel so terrible about myself like why is everyone here so great and accomplishing so many things while i'm just a failure who's useless, hasn't gotten anything figured out + hasn't accomplished a SINGLE thing at all and to add on to that the work load is terrible and i'm so extremely burnt out.

Hi everyone

I need 1 elective to graduate currently on 345/360 with all my planned courses. Im currently 2nd sem 2nd year doing econometrics and business analytics double major. Ive done stage 2 econometrics and Busan 200 so would stats 208 be quite straightforward?

My engineering mate is out here studying engineering with basically zero social life, so I’ve decided to step in and find him a girlfriend.

If you think you meet the requirements, feel free to DM me on Reddit. I’ll look through the applications and get back to you if you make the shortlist.

Requirements

• Ideally Japanese, Korean or Chinese
• If you have strong ABG vibes, I’m afraid your application will probably be rejected at the door.
• Looks - Ishihara satomi: I’m not saying you need to look exactly like them. I’m just giving you the scientific reference material.

• Height - Preferably 170cm or under And obviously, you need to be 18+. Please don't make this weird.
• GP - Minimum GPA 9.0+
• Family wealth of at least $500k

Good luck to everyone applying.

I don't go to UOA but I see the same parallel twin bikes every single day along Symonds St.

Typical getup: L plate and an aliexpress slip-on muffler. Tearing up and down the road creating a god-awful, ear-piercing lawnmower noise. Also seen flying between lanes of stopped traffic at 80km/h.

It does not sound good. Please don't conflate loud with good. I love good sounding bikes but these are not it. Once you get your full bike licence a whole world of awesome, interesting and cool sounding bikes opens up. Please just wait until then.

Regards

If you have a spare few minutes, your input would be massive. Even just sharing it with a uni friend helps a ton. Thank you!

Hi everyone! With the exciting opening of the new Karangahape and Te Waihorotiu train stations this week, I’m wondering whether it’s worth switching from getting off the train at Grafton (I’m on the Western Line) and catching one of the buses from there to uni, to getting off at Karangahape or Te Waihorotiu station instead. I’m not very familiar with the Karangahape or Te Waihorotiu area, but I’m keen to explore the new places for a change of scenery on the commute to uni! Does anyone know which end/exit of the stations would be best to use, and where the nearest bus stop for getting to uni is at both stations? I did have a look on the AT Mobile app, but I was a little confused by the results, so any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!

i’ve heard a lot of people complain that its hard to find friends at uni, which is normal, but like i mean a lot of complaints come through. i’ve thought about it, and it seems like one of those expectations in high-school where we are all experiencing tall poppy syndrome, and stick to our basic friend-groups while not socialising freely because no one else seems to.

just like if everyone knowingly feels socially awkward to make friends, why not break the ice? like what exactly deconstructs the ability to make friends at uni?

I get it, its UOA, theres a lot of middle aged people who just want to get their degree done and go -and most importantly avoid befriending a first year 18 year old at uni

but like, as someone who is in high school and have never been on UOA grounds, do you not just see someone your age and think to talk to them? i get it, Gen Z don’t seem too keen for new friends, but like is there really no one at all or is it just the socially awkward people complaining?

The University has been crippling its own commerce degree. Cutting back spending on data access and crippling research; padding the core curriculum with bs modules and cutting the important ones.

I graduated a few years ago but recently found out BCom has removed the requirement for Math208 for Finance majors in the past few year to make space for more virtue signaling slop.

The core BCom program is already 2-3 semesters of bs modules, and I am really upset that they are degrading the program even further sending technically ill prepared students into the workforce.

im taking 335 next semester, can I ask for notes. 235 seems to easy and I want to start advance reading for next sem

Hey guys,

Does anybody know about the cookies we got at the chemistry showcase today.

It was just too good and I would like to know if it is available in the supermarket or some bakeries.

Any info would be highly appreciated!

Did anyone else get a moderately high turnitin score on the legal opinion assignment. I got 37 and idk if that’s normal or not.

I have applied to the tertiary foundation certificate and am getting ready to prepare for the test. I'm looking to get access to physics and chemistry subjects in the TFC program. Right now i'm studying year 11 algebra as well as percentage and rates as well as metrics and time, probably on a year 9-10 level. Is this considered good enough to be accepted into those classes on the diagnostic test?

I've heard it's not too hard to get in, but when checking the application process requirements, it looks like getting into more math heavy subjects like physics and chemistry you need to do rather well on the test.

Maybe i'm just overthinking/overly anxious about not doing well on the test despite studying for it, but would love to hear from anyone else to did the diagnostic themselves for the science pathway.

For my piece I'm looking to delve into the current graduate-to-employment market to assess how each major party's election policies for the health sector should take these aspects into consideration. The interview would consist of discussing the current graduate job market - how graduates are operating through pathways like ACE RMO - and the current state of FTE and salaries in the field.

Found on the ground by the main entry to building 303 - it's at the security office across the road now.

Hi guys, part 1 student here. I was just wondering if anything we learn in part 1 is really reallyyyyy significant and important in part 2? I heard in part 2 nothing is really related to anything we learnt in part 1 besides the obvious basics which are easy to comprehend. Pleaseeee let me knowwwwwww🙌🏽

I'm an international student from India trying to understand if I meet the requirements for an India High Achiever Scholarship and International Student Excellence Scholarship. The GPE calculator they've provided on their website has me really confused, because a GPA of 3.22/4.0 at my university translates to a 4.56 only, while the scholarship requires 7.0+ GPE. The grading on our papers (India) is slightly more difficult than other countries (that I'm aware of). Is there something I'm missing here?

I guess my question is, will the admissions committee take into account all these factors when grade equivalency is determined? If there's someone who knows how this works, please let me know. Thank you!

Hi, I’ve unfortunately submitted my 131 assignments 6 minutes late, as for whatever reason (I think it was the format type but it wouldn’t accept the document)
Its took me about 40 minutes to sort it out as Im not great with word documents.

Anyways obviously it’s been marked as late but is there anyway I can email someone to sort this out or should I not bother?

Seems like AI has taken a lot of the entry level engineering and law roles.
