For finance 1 I heard they had tutors explain things eg a graph of some sort, probably something you come across in the subject.

I had one recently with the maths department. It was fairly laid back as far as job interviews go. They asked a bunch of questions about my own educational background (e.g. asked me how my undergraduate tutorials were run at UWA and then explained how the Melbourne ones would be different - probably not so relevant if you'd be tutoring a subject you've recently taken) and about past tutoring experience, why I wanted to be a tutor with the department, etc. Then questions about which subjects I would feel confident tutoring. There was nothing specific like "what would you do in this situation", which surprised me. They were really churning through interview candidates that day, though. I got a job offer by email a few hours after my interview.

I'm not sure whether your interview will necessarily be similar since presumably it'd be with a different department.

Awesome, thanks guys!! Yeah I figured that they would probably be different across the departments, but it's nice to get an idea of what might come up, thanks

Does anyone know when Blackboard will be available for first year subjects? My LMS keeps saying "You are not participating in any available subjects", even though I've fully enrolled and chosen my timetable and everything.

I was told the LMS doesn't display your subjects until the co-ordinator decides to put it up, whch can happen at different times for each subject but definitely before semester begins. Try checking here if your subject has been put up yet ( grey font means it hasn't yet).

In theory at least. Some don't come out until the first day because you know, why not?

Does anyone know if the university has a light box/light table that I can use? I'm sure the architecture students would need them..

I remember seeing one in level 2 of the ERC last year, it might have been removed since they changed collections though.

I want an <A2 one, otherwise I usually scan the thing and trace it off my laptop screen (which like, flips and folds flat) and finding glass that big that won't break might be a bit tricky.
Oh I never noticed there was one in erc! I never go to level 2 though. Will pop in and check if it's there on Monday though
