I have multiple assignments due today and I don’t know what’s going to happen now? Will we all automatically get extensions?

Look im not trying to point fingers here, but also I am. I’m a singaporean indian studying in adelaide uni. Since moving here a month ago (which is why what im saying may not be fully true) I have faced racism 3 times from not white australians but china chinese. Not even their country and they have audacity to be racist to other international students 😭 I am NOT racist to chinese, all my best friends are singaporean chinese, I love them dearly and miss them so much. I love their food and culture as ive been exposed to it growing up. But yes i do hate the china chinese that are racist to me. Even back in Singapore the china chinese acted the same way, expecting locals to speak in their language as if singapore isnt malay soil… All the projects ive worked on so far have been mostly with china chinese. Im getting fed up being excluded in projects atp because they just discuss in mandarin in front of me…

Edit: Im not racist to china chinese, i hate the ones who are racist to me, which happens to be more often than not.

Does anyone know the new rules around attendance? I heard you can miss 3 but then it affects your grade (10%)?

One of my courses has attendance roll call as a listed assessment but there are no details and it’s 100 points. However, the normal assessments all add up to 100 points so I am not sure how it works.

For anyone who is struggling to submit assignments due to ongoing issues.

More info can be found on the student portal.

Hi, I am studying accounting and finance. We have a major assignment due on 31st may. It is group project but as usual the teammates are not helping. I know the concepts and what to do. I have completed most of it but am having doubt in the last part. Is there any senior who can guide me through it. This is a business valuation assignment where we have to create analysis report. I know everyone is busy because of the final weeks approaching but it would be really helpful.

Thank you

Hi All,

First time to sit an online exam on Canvas will be this week. Not sure what to expect and the tutor is not helpful. All I know is that the tutor will be online to give us our passwords to login to the exam portal. The exam will be 90 minutes of MCQs and short answer Q's.

Any help from those who went through this experience before?

Thanks you

Hey there!

I'm a second-year that is a looking to switch to Adelaide University and continue a Bachelor of IT online with them. There are a few reasons why I'm wanting to switch, but one of them is because my current university has introduced an "AI assurance policy" where now all units have an invigilated closed-book exam worth 50-60 percent of the grade, which has resulted in a lot of stress because of the workload for me and my classmates. For example, previously where difficult assignments were worth 30% percent of the grade, they are now worth 10%, etc. and it is hard to maintain a good GPA because of such changes. Because of this, a lot of my uni friends are also moving to other universities.

My question for current students here is if Adelaide U also has a similar policy? How have they been mitigating against students using AI? Is there also an invigilated exam in every subject? I took a look at the course info under the Bach of IT units, however a lot of descriptions are listed as N/A so I don't have a good understanding of the assessments.

Would really appreciate any help or info on this. Thank you!

Literally just came online as I got an email from the uni about it not being online 😂

Im prospective student and im quite shocked that the cheapest one is 300 pw. Is it normal that student residency is more expansive than js other rooms that i can search on flatmate? And is it worthy for ​paying it? Im also wonder if the uni offers financial support for international students with accommodation

Hi. I'll be starting Bachelors in Electrical Engineering in July. Can someone please give me an idea about how much I should budget for groceries? I'm not someone who eats out too often or makes lavish meals at home. Also from which places do students usually purchase their groceries?

Is it the north or west campus? I’m booking my accommodation and this will really help me because I want to take something near

I’ve had a query about credit transfers sitting there for about ten days now. Starting to feel like it’s disappeared into the void. Is anyone actually getting replies at the moment?

Hey so I just heard from my friend in medicine that she doesn’t know any city (not rural) students in med that had a GPA bellow 7.0 prior to getting in… but I’ve done 1 year of the bachelor of biomedical and health sciences and my GPA is currently 6.875, even if I increase my GPA this year do I not stand a chance at getting in? Do I need to switch degrees and reset my GPA?

As I mentioned in the title, with the growing of AI and stuff, is pursuing Master of Data science still worth the time/$ and efforts?

Those who had graduated, how are you doing now and do you recommend this degree in AU?

Thank you~

Hiiiiii I'm here looking for some advice.

Withdrew from my last uni in year 2. Looking to study Bachelor of Computer Science. Got offers from Adelaide University and Monash but they're still assessing my credit transfer.

Prefer less stress because I just had a breakdown at HKUST (iykyk). That's why I'm coming back to aus lmao. VCE didn't bother me though.

I need external structure to get things done including not dying of starvation. So uni support and deadlines really matter to me.

I don't really care if the city is "fun" because I can stay home for a year straight lol. Public transport, living costs and food matter more to me.

Heard UA (now AU? Or what should I call it idk) is moving things online. Pretty sure that means I'll just rot at home (literally) alone and nobody knows that until maybe one month later. Also UA is still new after the merge. Would love to hear from current students about how it actually is.

I studied in Melbourne till 2022. Know how it was back then. Been to Monash open day a few years ago so I guess I know what I'm expecting??

From what I've seen online – Adelaide is smaller. Easier to get around. Lower cost of living. Parks and buildings look great. Sounds really really nice but I haven't been there b4.

Would really appreciate any thoughts from current or past students at either uni. Tysm🙏

I am thinking of taking an additional course for the next semester. I'm from business/eng faculty (a hybrid degree) and my program director said I can literally pick any course from the uni (of course, not from medical i guess haha). Which one would you recommend?
