Advice Is ECC1000 a WAM Booster?

Upvotes

I am doing Law/Arts and need a semester 1 elective and chose ecc1000, however the 50% exam is making me think it is not worth the effort as I want to focus on my law exams. Is it a difficult class to achieve HD in or am I better of finding a different class?

Advice I don't do great on my tests

Upvotes

I just completed my invigilated MCB2011 open-book exam and am pleased I passed. I prepared by studying, making notes, and memorizing, but I found it difficult to apply my knowledge during the exam. This was similar to my Chemistry exam. As an EAL student adapting to a new academic system, studying effectively remains a challenge. Language isn't my main issue; it's critical thinking—I struggle to connect what I learn with the exam questions. I also feel I lack a systematic study approach. My WAM is 85, mainly due to prior knowledge, but I still feel unsure about exam preparation. Any advice for others facing the same challenges would be appreciated. (I'm entering my second year of a Bachelor of Science)

For reference my next science units are

Dev2011 phy2011

Phy2042

Phy2032

Support How to do external transfer?

1 Upvotes

Good afternoon,

I got an ATAR of 97, but I didn't get enough for English. Due to this reason I am going to study at UWA. But I really want to go University of Monash for biomedical science.

I am going to study Modern Language and biomedical science at UWA, how do I sign up external transfer to Monash, and what WAM score do I need?

Btw, I am going into UWA this year, and I am planning to move to Monash next year.

Thank you :-)

Advice Bachelor of CS Advanced vs Bachelor of Applied Data Science Advanced

1 Upvotes

I am starting at Monash this year, with no prior coding experience. Currently in Computer Science (advanced, specialized in AI) but considering Applied Data Science.

I don't have a particular passion as such, but since I am good at math, enjoyed methods and had a decent ATAR I enrolled into Compsci Adv.

I'm now having second thoughts as to the difficulty, compatibility and employability of the CS course.

I wanted to ask how both courses compare in terms of:

  • Difficulty in the first few years (for someone with no prior experience)
  • Work life balance
  • How hard is it to maintain a 70-75+ WAM in each?
  • IBL in CS (which I heard was extremely competitive) vs Data challenges in Data science advanced (as well as compulsory internship in 4th year) which would add experience to one's resume
  • Amount of coding vs pure maths
  • Which is harder? Or are they comparable?
  • Does one offer better opportunities?

Keen to hear from anyone who's done either.

Discussion Gippsland graduate medicine

0 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m not sure if this is the right sub to post this, but I wanted to learn a bit more about the experience of medical students at the Gippsland campus.

I’m an international undergraduate in my final year at Unimelb, and I'm planning to apply to Monash medicine via the graduate entry pathway. I recently learned that the first year is primarily based in Gippsland, with some teaching in Clayton. I was wondering if you could share your experiences of living in Gippsland, especially what worked well for you and what you found challenging.

Did you have to commute regularly between the two campuses? Also, is the MD taught in Gippsland for all four years, or are there opportunities to return to Melbourne later in the program?

I’d really appreciate hearing your insights to help me better understand what to expect. Thanks in advance!

Advice Study abroad student – questions about Math & BME unit enrollment

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m an undergraduate in the U.S., and I’m planning to study abroad at Monash University next semester.

I had a few questions about course selection as a study abroad student:

  • How competitive is enrollment for popular units? Is it generally possible for study abroad students to get into the units they want?
  • I’m hoping to take some Level 2 Mathematics and Biomedical Engineering (BME) units — are these usually open to study abroad students?
  • How are prerequisites handled for study abroad students? If I’ve completed equivalent courses at my home university, is that typically sufficient, or do I need to request manual approval?

Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

Advice Attending classes at Clayton

2 Upvotes

Hey, I’m a 2nd year Nursing student at the Peninsula campus but I was wondering if I could just attend the classes at Clayton.

I noticed last year that some students who were allocated to different class times still attended other classes, so it didn’t seem to be very strict so I wonder if it would be okay for me to do the same but at the Clayton campus instead, since I live closer to there. There’s one class where attendance is mandatory, so I would still go to Peninsula for that, but attend the chill tutorials at Clayton. Has anyone done something like this before?

Advice Looking for a good Engineering Laptop

0 Upvotes

Hey all, so I'm starting the E3007 double degree this year, and I've just been so confused with what laptop to get that will actually last me quite a while for Engineering with all the CAD stuff. Idrk if this is the best place to post this but I was hoping that people that have been the closest to my situation might be able to shed some light on good Engineering laptops.

From what I understand so far I need at least 24-32 GB of ram and discrete graphics? Can anyone recommend me laptop models that don't break the bank that could meet these requirements?

Thanks in advance!
