Yeah, pretty sure all exams are hard, otherwise everyone would get HDs haha!
yeah but harder than most other unis, right?

Based on what? Plenty of people graduate from Monash degrees lol so I don't see where this is coming from.

That is they purposely make the tests/exams really hard and unpredictable.not sure if this is just first year,
but our tutors always go like 'watchout for this question, could be in the exam' and then they wink suggestively.
and i heard the exams are easier than the tests!

This sums up my experience in uni (physics) exam so far

Do nothing/next to nothing/ not enough = P(failing) is high if not 1. Hence it will be hard subjectively.
Do lots of work/have natural aptitude for subjects chosen/name is TT = It will be easier

I don't understand how it's possible for anyone to ever top this post.
We should just end the forum now.

Assuming all three apples are orbiting the sun......? HAHAHAHA
and from what I heard around anyway. Apparently monash is harder to grad from compared to mel u. Then again, I don't see how you can base that on anything.

Assuming all three apples are orbiting the sun......? HAHAHAHAIf the apples are on Earth, and the Earth orbits the sun, then I guess it's a reasonable assumption?

If you start comparing Monash MBBS or LLB or B.Eng to any undergrad in UoM, you're going to find that UoM will appear "easier" to pass.

The question only makes sense if you compare the same courses, ie. Monash Science vs UoM Science, Monash Arts vs UoM Arts, etc.
If you start comparing Monash MBBS or LLB or B.Eng to any undergrad in UoM, you're going to find that UoM will appear "easier" to pass.
OP, each faculty sets relevant exams for their subjects. So it's near impossible to suggest that all courses at Monash are harder than anywhere else. Generally, Monash and Melbourne will be about the same, otherwise employers would notice something's up, less students would get employed from that uni and professors would realise this and make it harder to graduate. So there's a feedback loop that ensures they stay about the same. Also, advent of the Melb model has no effect on this. Whatever melbourne want to call their degrees, a lawyer still needs to know the same things, a doctor still needs to know the same things as they did 10 years ago and a professor recognises this. They're world leaders in their fields, not idiots.
