ok i need to vent. how is a 2nd year finance unit this badly run. the coordinator clearly has no idea how anything's supposed to work and it's rookie mistake after rookie mistake every single week. the tutors don't know what's going on either because they're getting told nothing, so you ask a question and just get passed around in circles.

and then the presentations. the report was literally the whole point of the project and they just skipped it??

the tests only went fine because they were the exact practice papers with new numbers. which is great for us i guess but says a lot

50% of the grade is the final and i genuinely could not tell you what's on it. so tired of this unit man :(

I know you’re reading this Basil…. Tony Buti was taken out for dinner by Deloitte 4 months prior to the date of their final report. This is from the gift registry declaration he was required to submit. What was discussed that couldnt have been an email or a meeting during office hours? Crooked AF

I love using past year exam papers to revise for my engineering exams, and was always able to find at least a few for each unit on OneSearch. This semester I'm taking MECH3424, GENG3402 and MECH4502 and there is absolutely nothing on OneSearch. I've even tried searching for previous units where I knew I had access to a bunch of exam papers, but those have seemingly disappeared as well.

Does anyone know what's up? Have these been permanently deleted, or moved to a different site to access? If anyone has a nice archive of past exam papers for the units I mentioned, it would be fantastic if you could send them over to me. Thanks!

Update! We finally have details of the Guild SGM. If you can make it please go! Make your voice heard! (Side note: kind of annoying they only gave short notice. Also love the formalities of this post and how it definitely doesn’t look like it was made last minute on Instagram).

anyone know if dr of podiatric med interviews have been sent out?

Hello. I have applied for admission and RTP scholarship for PhD for UWA for 2027 round. I wonder if the successful recipients of RTP have already heard back re the decision on their applications?

I have an offer from Uni of Wollongong with a fully funded scholarship and am just waiting on UWA so that I can make more informed decision with all options/offers?

Pretty embarassing all around today. Even if you do disagree with their politics, good on Liberals for having courage to call out so blatantly.

Interesting what happens from here

Hello! Was wondering if anyone had advice in regard to notes for the open book stat1520 exam? Never done open book before, is there a way to categorise it? Folder?

It's heartbreaking what current VC, UWA Leadership and governance team done to our university. 1911 to 2020. Legacy.

Don't let vultures to erase the history we are proud of.

Hello all a plea for help here,

I have recently misplaced my MATH3023 Notebook somewhere around campus :(.

It is a black 128 page keji exercise book and I am super bummed about losing it because the exam is open book.

I have re traced every place on campus I have been and asked every library/student office for buildings I have been in :(.

It’s a long shot but if anyone finds anything If they could let me know!

I’d much rather my kids have the chance to go to a more competitive, better-resourced uni than I did.

The NTEU have put up an online petition for those staff who oppose the merger.

From Basil Zempilas just now. Is using AI links acceptable these days?

Bit cheeky it seems from The West Australian. UWA senior leadership pen this, frankly a bit self-indulgent article titled 'WA University Merger Offers Opportunity for Greatness'. Literally in the middle of the article that speaks about how this can 'bring researchers, infrastructure, and investment together-' the West Australian decided to put in a link to a separate article that other affected Universities do not see this as great and will fight against it...

Also, is this not meant to be an open business case inquiry into the prospects? Why is only UWA VC and Chancellor going so public and literally pushing for this the same week it's been announced and in a way that is clearly pushing heavily for it to happen? It does not help the Steering Committee is also heavily UWA and not the initial impartial non-WA panel as was in 2023. Look here at original 2023 announcement. It was deliberately non-WA for a reason and encompassed Academics (not business-people) 'without any current affiliations or any appointments in WA'.....

i've recently been fortunate to receive an interview offer at UWA and just wondering if anyone has any preparation tips? would greatly appreciate it! 🥺

I'm doing BSc Honours and just finishing my 3rd year (1 more to go). I want a degree that says UWA on it. I came to UWA, I chose UWA, I don't want whatever bullshit happens to change that for me. I think that current students should be able to graduate with all their awards under the university they attend, no matter which of the three they go to. Got a couple buds at Curtin who said the same, they want to finish their engineering as Curtin grads. No one knows what it will be, if it will still be UWA or change to something else. I got nothing against Curtin or Murdoch, I just want my degree I leave with to be the degree I started with.

If you're not a current or ex student or staff member of the universities please pick the 3rd option to see the results. I haven't met anyone in support of it.

This whole fiasco is farcical imo. Like they are not even trying to keep it as a genuinely independent inquiry into what is good for the state. The VC is referring to Mr Mark Barnaba who is heavily affiliated with UWA for decades and just happens to be steering the Committee to determine the business case for the merger. Yet he is UWA through and through!?

https://www.uwa.edu.au/schools/business/corporate-supporters

He is also an 'External Chair' of the UWA Investment Committee but yet he is also front and centre of UWA Corporate Supporters which refers to his long-standing ties. This is imo really not a great look for UWA given Barnaba is already speaking publicly in favour and is literally the chair of the decision steering committee.

https://www.uwa.edu.au/about/-/media/project/uwa/uwa/about/docs/leadership-and-governance/governance/investment-committee-membership-ic.pdf

Does UWA leadership genuinely think that people cannot see how transparent this is? Mr Barnaba has already contributed an article to AFR on this issue which just seems ridiculous given he is on the Committee that will contribute to the governments decision making. Is this seriously what's happening rn?

Mr Barnaba Article on AFR in Support of Merger, yet Mr Barnaba also affiliated with UWA and actively promoted by UWA VC.

It’s a bit random and unlikely to find people, but I had a lot going on this semester, and don’t have any friends (or anyone I know) in Span1402.
I’ve had an injury that gave me 5 weeks of absence and had to catch up on a lot of course work. Because of this I did super badly in my last test (like, I’ve never ever scored that low in my life) and require a 52% to pass my unit. Now, after just finishing the test, I am insanely anxious about it and was hoping to find someone to just talk about how they did and what they thought of it?
I know it’s strange, but as I said, I have 0 people I know at all in the unit and was really just hoping to talk about the test to calm down.
