How Hard Is University? (2 Viewers)

i know those questions are stupid, but it is coz i was never been told.

1. Do you get homework from lecture or tutorial?

2. Isn't there 'Syllabus' in uni as well?

3. Depending on degrees, some require students to hand in 'weekly assignment', for example in engineering degree. does your degree require you to write report frequently?

Most likely from tutorials

Not a Dot-Point syllabus like HSC

All we get (doing finance) is a list of the topics we'll cover each week.

silly questions again but if there isn't any syllabus for
course, then how do you prepare for the exam or
assignment?

define:syllabus - Google Search

It would be impossible to have a course without a syllabus.

so when can you access syllabus?

Usually you'll get a "syllabus" along with your Unit of Study outline for your chosen unit of study. It'll have all the lecturers' names on them as well as contact details/hours. Also you'll get a timeline and when mid-semester exams are (if applicable).

so is that at the first lecture?

Aiming for a pass is just setting yourself up to fail. You should realistically aim for a credit average as a minimum. Consider your degree as a three year investment. You invest time, you gain knowledge. The more time you invest, the more knowledge you gain. Your job prospects will not be enhanced by a pass average so why aim for it?

Thanks, finally someone is actually speaking logic. Apart from the "eager minds of tomorrow", I'm hoping for 80-100% or first class honours. I was competitive in senior school and I will be competitive at uni. Job prospects and time investment are very important variables to me!!!

Either at first lecture as a handout, or you can access an electronic copy online via the Uni online systems (like Blackboard, or WebCT)

Do we have to write down everything the lecturer says?

 

[hollyy.]

Are the furniture in lecture theatres compliant with feng shui?

 

[lou071]

is participation at tutorial very important?

 

[kevinx2]

is the colour of my shoe going to affect how i learn in lectures?

Dude all of the stuff you're asking is really trivial and pointless, you're going to know all this stuff soon anyways.

But i'll whet your whistle, take a read of this
https://my.unsw.edu.au/student/atoz/ABC.html
It may be for UNSW but most of the stuff applies to other unis as well.

Some people say either for that really (cramming abilities and so on).

 

[lou071]

is there a thing called 'scaling' in uni as well?
coz i read another post and the person mentioned that
the one subject of his choice scaled him down from getting
