General Rules:

For this (honours!) unit I'm taking, the lecturer uses AI for everything, including generating assignments AND marking them.

The assignment feedback has blatant AI markers. More importantly, there are a few "dumb" students (no offense) in class who use their AI agent to do everything, including the assignment, and they managed to score higher than people in the class who are objectively more well-versed in the material in every way, shape or form (more relevant undergrad major, relevant thesis topic, etc.). My theory is that, since AI is marking our assignments, it would obviously like the assignments from students who also used AI to do their assignment while those of us who actually did the assignments ourselves were marked harshly by the AI marker.

Also, if you are telling AI to mark an assignment, it will always find things to nitpick on to deduct marks. The result is that a lot of the marks we lost have some bullshit nonsensical explanation. In addition, we were told specific things about this assignment verbally that are not in the actual assignment guidelines, but since AI was used to mark, it didn't take this additional info into account, leading us to lose unfair marks.

Basically, you are penalized if you actually did the work themselves instead of getting AI to do it. The AI marker much prefers an AI assignment (like-minded, ay?) VS a human-written assignment.

The CE doesn't help his case by being super pro-AI either.

This is horrible for those of us planning to do a PhD cause our honours marks are so important. It is incredibly frustrating seeing such a lazy and careless lecturer shit all over us.

Was browsing monmap to figure out what electives im going to do next year and came across the reviews for SCI1000 😭

What are they doing to you guys in this unit??

EDIT: seems it really is that bad 💀💀💀, site is https://monmap.monashcoding.com/search for those who were asking or wanting to read/write their own unit reviews

would my brothers wedding count as a valid reason for special consideration? if I can show all the documents and stuff

hi, i made the stupid mistake of cheating and using AI on a test and now have an academic misconduct on my record, i am really worried if something happens in the future and I get accused of using AI and get suspended. Does the uni suspend people over two academic misconducts?

So I’m a first year doing a double in biomed/sci (S2007) and you know how some of the first year units won’t be offered next year? I still have yet to do BMS1031 (medical biophysics) and BMS1042 (Public Health and Preventative Medicine) but those two wont be offered next year. I could do PHS1031 instead of BMS1031 since they’re basically the same. But what about BMS1042?

Apparently the second year BMS units aren’t being offered the following year (2028), what then? Are there any other students in the same boat as me and what will you do instead? 😭 I’m just worried cause enrolment is open but the 2027 course map for s2007 isn’t available yet 🥲🥲

I was looking at the course map for Bachelor of Law and in the first year you take 4 non-law electives. I wanted to ask for advice on what would be the best courses to take a look at. I am generally looking for easier and more fun classes that won't take up too much of my time. Also any advice would be appreciated for someone going into year 1.

Asking for a friend (friend is me)

bc what do u mean it used to be 6/9 and now it’s 6/8 bc they decided to remove the week 12 lab as a competency lab??

we were allowed to miss 3 labs and still pass. now we can only miss 2.

i’ve already missed 3.

originally i could pass just by doing the wk11 and wk12 labs. now im not even going to meet the competency hurdle bc i’ve only completed 4 in person labs.

i don’t get why they would change that decision last minute??

I… have not studied at all and have a few days before the exams come and idk what to do I have work the week before the exam and that weekend and there’s no way I can cancel cuz they’ll straight up fire me and I can’t survive so please give me advice I need to pass. ATM I’m on 29.5% for Contract B and I haven’t got my assignment marks for Consti but so far from the quiz I have 14% but I need to do well on the exam 😭😭

Hi everyone,
I’m just looking for some advice if anybody knows what to do in this situation or has been in the same boat. There’s been a death in my family about a week and a half ago and the funeral has been scheduled for the same time as one of my mid-semester exams. I would love to be at the funeral and am supposed to be speaking, but need to sit this exam to pass the unit. If anyone knows if this is grounds for special consideration and what category it’d fit into and evidence I’d need to supply if so, any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

unfortunately i might not get the atar for science so, if i do switch to science in semester2 from arts or smt, do i start in semester 2 science or start from the beginning?

if thats even possible n if it is, is it competitive?

or let me know other pathways into science!

ty :)

Have any international students gotten a uc/rv offer yet?

I wish the virus would’ve ended it all for me ✌️✌️😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😂😂😂

Is PASS offered for level 2 units?

For those who have taken one or both units in the last 2 years, which is better as a WAM Booster (they're part of a compulsory level 1 science sequence I have to take)?

Hi all,

Wanting some feedback on the master of nursing practise M6016 course. I have completed an undergrad in science and have been offered a place but do not know anyone who has completed the course at monash to offer some advice.

I also live in the west so was wondering if placements will be closer to monash side of town or are they spread out?

Thanks :)

Hi! Are there any business students coming to Caulfield or Clayton? DM me to be added to the group.

What’s ur WAM and which years are you in?
Really hope that I can get involved in next year’s winter or summer SVS😭but I currently only got 61 WAM and in my second years in Monash.

Hey guys!!

I have an assignment due on Sunday which I did already get a short extension for, I want to extend it by one more day through spec con though but I'm not sure what exactly it should say.

I looked at the website and there's a bunch of unacceptable statements but no example for something that will work.

If anyones applied and got it approved before, could you give me the format of what exactly was written? (this is to certify.... blah blah)

ALSO, has any online platform worked for u guys before? like Telehealth or smth??

THANK YOU

Hi guys, as exam season is coming up I had a question. I really do study for all assessments and exams but when the results come out it’s always average or even below it. I’m not sure how to write answers in the exam such that I get good marks for it. I do prac exam and content revision but I still haven’t figured out how to get good marks even tho I study. (2nd year btw)

Hi everyone, I'm looking for units to take over the summer, preferably Commerce or Computer Science / IT units, but I'm also open to electives from any other faculty.

Would appreciate any recommendations, especially if you've taken the unit before and can share your experience.

Thanks

anyone whos taken fit2095, fit2173, or fit2175.... thoughts? tips?
