Exam woes and chats

[VivaTequila]

Is it common for them to come out earlier? Or do they pretty much come out around the date/close to it? What's the chances that the bigger subjects will come out quickly (chem calc bio etc)

Yeah most come out before the final day.  Just go on the portal and if the subject disappears from "Course and Subjects", then result has been released and you can view it in your study plan.

Cool protips, thx

^Not from Melbourne Uni, but since Gloam is pro at giving general uni tips, I want to ask.

Say you 'think' you deserve more when you get ur exam results back (and hence, you want to improve your overall subject score). What's the general procedure to contest your marks? Like, do you just get a copy of your exam, and go 'dude, i'm right?'

Do share with us your knowledge.

One day and one night to cram for two subjects. Oh joy.

Being a VCE strudent, I dont fully understand uni lingo and the like. Just wondering, for a course like pharmacy, what would the exams cover (like in terms of subject wise?), and do you just need a pass for the course to get the degree, or high distinctions?

AFAIK just a pass.

You only need to pass.

Not sure about the policy with Monash but I would envisage it would be pretty much the same.  Before your subject coordinator(s) fail you, a second person from the same department will look over your exam and judge whether or not the decision is final.  If they agree, then the mark will be entered into the system and is final.  You can request to see your exam, but since it's been checked by two experts in the department, if you've failed, then the most you can do is get your lecturer(s) to cry with you unfortunately.

With regards to exam viewing, it is possible at UoM.  With the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, you are within right to view your exam paper after results have been released.  Just shoot your subject coordinator an email and arrange for a mutually agreed time to view your paper.  If, for some reason, you believe you deserve a higher mark because something wasn't marked correctly, or it wasn't marked at all, then it will be up to the discretion of the subject coordinator to change your mark.

With the Faculty of Commerce and Economics, I know that some subjects have scheduled exam viewing session that you register for and just like I mentioned above, you view your exam paper, calculate your marks, etc.

I feel like they're trying not to release results ridiculously early anymore.  It saddens me. BUT NOT RLY because my first exam was three weeks ago now and I really do not want to see the outcome of that horrendous attempt.

Anyone who has done MAST10011 EDDA before could you let me know if they award marks for working out even if the answer is wrong?
Cause if thy don't.. I am at serious risk of failing this :/

They do for some questions in which the working is actually valuable...but seriously if you do fail just repeat the class during summer. No big deal.

I'm banging my head against the wall for Chem revision. It's at least more interesting then reading the text book...

Also, Calc 1 was a bitch! The MAX I can get is 135/150 and I prolly got more around 110-120/150. Stupid graph question ._.

EDDA is way easier than you think it will be, there's always that

Struggling to stay awake anymore to study >.<

I'm pretty sure I got part i) wrong and the mistake snowballed from there...But I'm certain the way I did my subsequent questions were right, just with incorrect numbers. The mistake is ignored in the subsequent questions right?

Anyway, how was Physics for those who did the exam today? I'm pretty sure I got raped, and there were 12 questions this year! Last year there were 10.

[ReganM]

Haha, wow, you freaked me out there 86, thought you were referring to Fundamentals. I was like, shit, I only did 10 questions!!

I hope there were only 10 anyway. |:
