Re: Do you like or dislike you tutors and leturers? hmmmm - see my vent post... Mixed bag for me!

1 external student 1 subject 1 mid-term test mark - incorrectly recorded mark due to co-ordinator confusion between students last name and another student with the same last name (email received confirming in writing that this was the problem). Other student with same last name obviously not...

Because the 24th percentile will fall below the 50th percentile you will need to assign the z-score as a negative. So your equation would be: y = 166 + (68 x -0.71) = 117.72 I've been re-listening to my STAT170 lectures on the train to/from work this week and am pretty sure you will find...

Nothing wrong with feeling annoyed sometimes. However I am quite happy to state that my opinion was a serious one. As a female student, in my forties, with 3 children I am of the opinion that a "womens room" is an outdated concept and would be better replaced with a "parents room". In my...

What sort of "emergency supplies" would the Men's Room have? :haha: I'm a woman and have never been there, probably will never be there, and am really not sure why women need to have this "relic" from back in the days of "liberation". I could sort of understand if it is a space for...

I think if you actually live close to Castle Hill you're probably OK. But I live in Cherrybrook - which is notoriously HORRIBLE for public transport. We can't even get a bus to Castle Hill from where I am. The only option is to walk 5km to Castle Hill or catch a bus to Pennant Hills and then a...

The email we all got just made me "steam" a little, actually it made me "steam" a lot. I'm an undergrad external student who lives in a suburb of Sydney that, although not far from Macquarie, has NO PUBLIC TRANSPORT that would easily get me there (the poorly serviced hills district). I am an...

Take everyone's advice! You just can't expect people to include you without you making an effort. Just take a deep breath and "pretend" that you're a confident person - turn to the person next to you in a tutorial or prac; say "hi, I'm ...." and keep looking them straight in the eye until they...

I think you will find mature students in most courses at most uni's. And as a mature student I have found most 'young uns' happy enough to talk to me :-)

Hah, stop all this whinging about 5days/week. My timetable for Semester 1 looks like this: * Work full-time: Mon-Fri 37.5hrs/week * Get home from work and download and listen to lectures: BIOL206 - Genetics BIOL246 - Human Physiology STAT170 * Work on assignments * Study for tests * Attend on...

Re: 2009 Macquarie Uni Offers BSC - Distance Education offer - and I've already got permission to follow the Anatomy/Physiology pathway. Actually, although I officially just got my acceptance I already completed 4 subjects last year as a Non-Award student to get in officially this year...

Go to a job search site and search for Clinical Research Associate positions or Clinical Research Manager... You'll see that there is some decent money to be made in this particular area. regards

If it will be your first semester as an external you cannot enrol into subjects online. You have to fill in the form sent out to you and send it back to the External Office as per the instructions. You're supposed to be able to enrol online from your 2nd semester...

Re: The old end of semester / mark prediction thread BIOL115 - D HLTH107 - C (amazing, miraculous - as anyone who has been near this course will tell you...)

Re: The old end of semester / mark prediction thread BIOL115 - D (got 45.25/50 for the semester stuff) HLTH107 - totally no idea. Passed all the semester stuff really well, but you have to get at least 60% combined total mark and the exam was :eek: . Best I'm hoping for is a P or PC...

Clinical Research - Pharma industry... Look up CRA - Clinical Research Associate...

There's great opportunities for people with BSc/Med Sci in the clinical research industry (where I already work). There's a shortage of CRAs like you won't believe. note: CRA = Clinical Research Associate regards

As a non-chiro student who is sitting the exam TOMORROW ie: Monday afternoon, I can tell you that the 60% pass across the subject requirement is for ALL students doing the subject... Not only that but this semester they only ran it as an external subject and to pass the subject you have to have...
