Is Tafe really so much easier? (1 Viewer)

[workerdude85]

Is Tafe really much easier than Uni? i keep hearing people at universities believing tafe is much easier than uni. i understand universirty is more indepth obviously because 3 years compared to say 18 months and as long as you do your work you build upon what you learn, common sense right?

So question is, is tafe really much easier than UnI? The workload is same right? so what is so much harder / harder about uni than tafe?

Is this "easy course" and "bludge" a misleading?

Nothin is easy. I also get very angry when people say that certain courses are way easier then other courses at uni.
Some tafe courses can last for 2 years and you do like 15 subjects a semester, so theres a lot to know. My own brother went to uni through tafe and he says tafe has taught him all the skills and earned him a job, he says uni stuff is quiet useless in the real world.

Well my friend seems to think her TAFE Theatre Arts course is sooooooo much harder than my Science and my friends Medical Radiations... shes fucked in the head though
So what if she has to go to tafe 9-4 every day lawl

lol like business/commerce vs engineering?

Yes exactly ur one of those people. Business/ commerce is not easy + i do some IT dont forget the "E".

 

[^CoSMic DoRiS^^]

it really depends what you're doing. i have a friend doing event management at tafe and she says that even though some stuff is really easy there's other stuff like financial/accounting subjects that she finds really hard. also some tafe courses (like this one) can be very practical-based so if you're more of an essay-theory type person you could have problems.

obviously there are some tafe courses which would be much much much easier than some uni courses...but then again there are probably some tafe courses that would be on par with some uni courses as well, like i said it depends what you're studying and what kind of student you are.

A D isn't exactly a GREAT mark. Not GREAT enough to justify your statement anyway.

 

[Kebabci Oglu]

i did an IT subject in first semester, got a D :rofl:

So whats your point? I have seen numerous people get D's in engineering and other HARDER courses as medicine. And you got "a" D not numerous amounts.

 

[neo o]

I'll be honest. I think the problem is mainly with the people who go to TAFE, rather than TAFE itself.

 

[velox]

the fail rate was 40% so its either u got something better than that or stfu n gtfo

Of course.... They scale marks to reduce failure rates. And an IT course having 40% failure rate at UTS and you getting a D, when you have like a low CR average, sounds like BS.

 

[dude01]

Musk, can you stfu about engineering already?

No it was a subject in conjunction with the engineering faculty, engineering never scales their marks

HAHAHA... ok. That's bullshit my bro does UTS engineering and is in final year. He's told me numerous times how his final marks were obviously scaled. Law scales subjects too, which happened to me this past semester in contract law. Basically, most subjects with large amounts of students will scale final marks.

the fail rate was 40% so its either u got something better than that or stfu n gtfo

40% failure rate isn't an unusually high amount. This percentage includes people who have basically dropped the subject, but failed to withdraw officially... I remember even in first year accounting the failure rate was around 30-40%. D's are not that hard to get. Come back when you get a 90+ HD, then you can call a subject or topic "easy".

Um, unless you perform yourself I really wouldn't try to make generalised comments like that.

I'll be honest. I think the problem is mainly with the people who go to TAFE, rather than TAFE itself.

It is a big part of the problem, too many people go to TAFE because they couldn't do anything else despite the fact that there are some things its really better to go to TAFE for. It brings the image down massively. The other part of the problem is lack of resources, they make so many cuts all the time that its just ridiculous.

All faculties do. That is if the raw marks dont fit the standard distribution.

 

[dude01]

if you dont like what i say then Y READ IT? its not directed to yo

Because you fill all these threads with your pointless engineering crap. You need to realise that people have different strengths and engineeering is not the hardest/best fucking course on the planet as you make it out to be. E.g. my bro finds engineering easy, whereas he could never do my law stuff and vice versa.

Accounting <> IT related shit. As a matter of fact it amazes me how can anyone fail accounting considering all is required is memorising the material required for the final exam

Have you even done an accounting subject?

 

[Kebabci Oglu]

people are starting to hate u Musk.....when will u learn and i cant believe you represent your uni faculty.

 

[Kebabci Oglu]

i dont no more i have a full time job, i represent myself

besides why would i lose sleep over them? they mean nothing to me apart from the sheer enjoyment that their anger is meaningless

Maybe u shouldnt use the forums anymore if you dont care about what others think or do, because all you do is stir people up.

 

[Epic_Postings]

Name the subjects or gtfo

Dear Musk, do you find it absolutely necessary to give people the impression that a lot of engineering students are anti-social e-thugs who have never felt the gentle touch of a woman in real life?

 

[Loz_metalhead]

Musk, you have been to accounting lectures but haven't done any exams or assessments so you can't say that. It's not memorising...I'm not going to say what I think about engineering because I haven't done any engineering subjects.

You are a troll.

 

[Testpilot]

Yes exactly ur one of those people. Business/ commerce is not easy .

Commerce is easier than Engineering (and I should know). I'm yet to learn anything in Commerce that anyone with half a brain doesn't already know or is able to derive for themselves. I know that certain Commerce subjects will be hard in later years, but at the moment Engineering > Commerce in terms of difficulty.

 

[Dingo2004]

nah i have mates who have been to tafe first.. and then uni afterwards..

and from their testimonial, its true that tafe is way easier than uni...

also the style of teaching is very different, the assessment methods, etc.. basically uni exams r much harder

 

[jemsta]

1. You do Commerce so social activitiy is next to zero due to the degree's competitive nature

2. You go to an anti-social uni, ask jamsta.

3. That is all

nar unsw isnt that bad...but thats because im asian and fit in nicely
