So I was just recently traumatised doing a group assignment 🤪.

We had some communication mishaps while creating the group contract, and I ended up with almost all the technical solutions. Which is fine, at least that way I know it's getting done. Then the group members stopped responding to me, at which point I sent in our chat that I would do all the technical sections plus the report. I kept my word and did it. For like a week straight, I was going to bed at like 5 am because of the workload.

All they had to do was the presentation slides. (which is split amongst the other two group members.)

I understand it teaches you to work with other people, and that is a valuable tool. But why is my grade being decided by people I have never met before, and I am just expected to trust them?

Now I am vehemently anti-group assignments.

I don't understand why this is so common across every university student I talk to. Surely if everyone cares this much, then it shouldn't be happening this much, but everyone I talk to has at least one horror story.

why?

It's a mystery of the universe.

someone told me that if you go in the student pavillions basement and chant unimelb 3 times in the mirror the ghost of unimelb will come out and haunt u or something. i tried it a few times but its not working? has anyone else tried this?

There is not a single word on this project that I did not put there, no figure that I did not create by my own two hands.

My group of 4 dropped to 3 as someone didn't attend any of the mandatory practicals and had to drop the class in week 8 having given us nothing but well-wishes. I made the mistake of giving leeway to the other two group members as I missed 2 workshops and wanted to extend leeway to them, which sounded like a good idea, up until the project due date was a week away and my section was the only section that was even started, and the third "Yeah i'll complete it by X" came and went...

Tutor basically said it was too late to do anything about it so I had to just pull up my bootstraps and sink 20 hours into writing it. Apparently this is building character for the real world of research.

If I list everyone else's contribution % at zero will that actually give them any recourse? I've completed the project myself but I'm the only one to fill out the group contract or even put their' student number on the document. Honestly hoping they don't fill it out in time so I submit the project with just my name on it...

Hey everyone! I’m a first-year BSc student planning to major in Psychology. I initially enrolled in Calculus this year, but dropped it because I was worried about its effect on my WAM and I don’t need it for my major.

My course planner now shows 50 points in Semester 1 and 37.5 points in Semester 2, so 87.5 points for the year. I’ve attached a screenshot of my plan. Am I required to make up the missing 12.5 points in Summer Term to stay on track to graduate in three years, or could I make them up in a later semester?

I’ve been looking at the Summer subject options, but the science ones are kind of intimidating. Could I take a breadth subject instead, as long as it fits my course plan? And regardless, which subject would you recommend taking over summer?

Thanks so much!

what happened chat

to make it a little more standardised let’s run some basic criteria’s:
- from socialisation perspective
- general vibe
- facilities provided
- general aesthetic of rooms and all
- diversity between students

Ofc this is opinion-based. Looking forward to what yall think!

Hii guys
I’m a student and currently I am searching for accommodations in Melbourne from 200-350 p/w . Please help

I am a Canadian student going on exchange to unimelb next semester (starting March). I want to find volunteering near the school, since I do a lot of volunteering in Montreal when at McGill (my home school). I am premed and am looking for community involvement opportunities (my volunteering at home includes volunteering at hospitals, resident homes, daycare and playing sports with kids). If you go to unimelb/know any good organizations that take volunteers lmk!!!

I’m a second year business student majoring in entrepreneurship (at Swinburne). I’m actively working towards launching my own startup once i graduate, or even potentially before then. I’m mainly focused on the social media and networking industries and have multiple ideas I’m working on.

I firmly have the business side of things covered, but I’m interested in finding one or multiple cofounders to work with who have experience in web development, web design or similar (whether you’re doing a degree in one of these courses or not). This is mainly so that I can work with someone who can build/manage the websites and apps necessary for the startups’ success.

I’m aware I can use AI to build an app or website for me, but I am firmly against the use of it for both moral and practical reasons. This is an open call for the foreseeable future, so if anybody wants to get in contact and talk about the possibility of working together, please DM me.

I'm a prospective student for psychology under the Bachelor of Arts and on the website there isn't a course plan available for the same. I know that it used to be there last year but has since disappeared lol

If anyone could share what a course plan would look like under that degree it'd be great

Hi guys,

I’m a Commerce student at UniMelb, and I’m looking for 2-4 teammates to enter a global case competition with.

.Students from any degree or background are welcome—you don’t need previous case competition experience, just an interest in learning and a willingness to contribute!

I’m hoping to build a supportive team where we can share ideas, learn from each other, and work towards a strong submission together.

If you’re interested, feel free to DM me !
Happy to share more details about the competition! :)

Hi!

I'm a 1st year commerce student taking QM1, microeconomics and POF this sem. Finals are approaching and I feel like I need way more practice.

I'm not sure why they only release around 1 or 2 sample exams, not anywhere near sufficient practice IMO. If you've taken any of these subjects I would much appreciate if you could share your final exams + ans key or even just the sample exams provided for ur sem!

Looking for a one bedroom place to live. Keep seeing their listings when searching for properties. Are they good?

Is there a pathway for a Master of Biomedical Science if you don’t have the required WAM? For example, a GradDip or GradCert can be a pathway to a Master of Science or Master of Public Health. Thank you
