University of Melbourne 2010 semester 1 results thread.

[QuantumJG]

Well since VNers are already getting their results (atm I'm not one of them) I thought that I would make a thread for people to put their results and discuss them.

Anyway I hope everybody does well.

[Kopite]

how do you get them?? cos the get my results button is greyed out and unclickable on portal.

is thru asking for a history of results?

[Gloamglozer]

Some people can access one of their results through the new study plan.  I think it's a little glitch.

It's the new glitch.

Anyway check here

[simpak]

Just altertin' because you may not have checked.
It gets put on the study plan,but a day later it's put in the 'view my results' system.
So I don't think it is a glitch - I think one updates daily and one updates automatically.

Happy so far. Physics I'm very very worried about however...

I got one of my subject results on LMS (under "My Grades") it was for a subject which had no exam though, just two essays.

[Nick]

Yeah the exam for witches was a take-home essay.

LOL.

Sounds like an awesome subject - congrats on the H1. What do you cover in it?

[simpak]

ARGHHH I want to take that subject.
But I can't D:

It's quite a challenging subject; very much driven by your own independent research and involves trawling through alot of primary sources which may/may not end up being fruitful for your assessment pieces.
It covers a very broad timeframe which often made the subject even more challenging- it analyses the beliefs and notions of Witchcraft from the middle ages right through to the end of the 17th century. We extensively explored areas of continental Europe, England, France and Ireland as a means to analyse the disparity between beliefs about Witchcraft in different geographical areas. It was very much driven by the themes of maleficium and diabolism which defined Witchcraft and how these concepts changed over time and how different geographical areas emphasised different components which defined the Witch. We analysed a variety of Witch trials too- there was a significant emphasis on the Salem Witch trials of 1692.
We also analysed popular depictions of the Witch presented in visual representations and the differences between visual sources in continental Europe, England, France and Spain. It was also really interesting to delve into many of the social and religious factors which were instrumental in exacerbating beliefs about Witchcraft and the factors which saw numbers of Witchcraft trials decline by the end of the 17th century.

I found the topics on possession and exorcism in early Modern France and England the most fascinating and how religious beliefs were heavily intertwined and a factor which heavily influenced the relationship between Witchcraft and possession.

Overall it was a fairly decent subject- quite challenging though and a ridiculous amount of reading. I hope this answers your question

I just got all my Results:
             
MAST20026 - Real Analysis with Applications , Option , Credits: 12.5 , Passed , 2010 , Semester 1 , Parkville , On Campus Mark: 67 Grade: Third Class Honours (H3)

PHYC20009 - Thermal and Classical Physics , Option , Credits: 12.5 , Passed , 2010 , Semester 1 , Parkville , On Campus Mark: 67 Grade: Third Class Honours (H3)

PHYC20010 - Quantum Mechanics and Special Relativity , Option , Credits: 12.5 , Passed , 2010 , Semester 1 , Parkville , On Campus Mark: 78 Grade: Second Class Hons A (H2A)

FNCE20003 - Introductory Personal Finance , Option , Credits: 12.5 , Passed , 2010 , Semester 1 , Parkville , On Campus Mark: 58 Grade: Pass (P)

Now let's compare that to what I was expecting:

Great, so I can have a heart attack every day until the 9th of July.

This is pretty much how I feel and the results come out in less than two weeks.

What I hope to see:

- Quantum Mechanics and Special Relativity H1. I really loved this subject.
- Thermal and Classical Physics P (Really difficult exam).
- Real Analysis with Applications H2(A or B). The exam was easier than expected so I'm expecting atleast a Pass.
- Introductory Personal Finance P (Really difficult exam + Minimal Study = :S). 

Well I was a tiny bit below my expectations for Quantum Mechanics and Special Relativity, I was above my expectations for thermal physics, I'm content with how I went with Real Analysis and I am so happy I actually passed personal Finance (since I really neglected this subject).

Overall I'm happy.
