How Hard Is University? (2 Viewers)

[lou071]

In simple terms, the University policy allows only 42% of students enrolled in CHEM1611 (maybe its like this for other subjects too, I'm not too sure) to receive a final grade of Credit or above. The rest must get Pass or Fail.

so some students can be disadvantaged?
like students got pass when they could have got credit or distinction coz 42% of students?

University offers more freedom.
I cannot wait until my lecturer will say: "You can take a 2 hour shit for all I care!"

does this mean that after 42% of students got credit or above, the people who can get credit or above can't get it coz it is full?

what are those certain ourses?

Stress and responsibility is a reasonable price for freedom.

Lectures.
Tutorials.
Labs.

lol i wonder how those kids that lived off tutoring for the hsc will survive

 

[darkwolfzx]

thats what sets uni apart from the hsc, and is why so many people find the first year incredibly difficult, because they need to learn to kick their own asses or suffer the consequences.

 

[kevinx2]

stupid first years

i don't get why you'd want to pay someone money to teach you what you could just teach yourself

ah crap i meant *reteach
why would you want to pay a tutor to teach you something when you could go to your lectures/tutes and teach yourself effectively from your notes

dude calm down

you also realise you go to uni to get the degree right as well as learn... i could just teach myself the entire course and print myself out a cool cert but it would be worthless
