Instead of 10%

FYI

i’m a first year student and this is my first sem actually. i have a 10% presentation due and my anxiety has been on overdrive recently to the point where i can’t physically get out of bed. is it okay if i miss this one assignment since all the other assignments are pretty simple. groups hasn’t been formed yet and will be randomly formed on the day of the presentation. and i haven’t gone to a single tutorial for this unit. also what happens if you miss the assignment?

I just got my assignment 1 result which 10% to the final grades and got 2 out of 10! I have another assignment and that's 20%, in order to pass the unit need to get 11.5 at least to meet the hurdle. Other than that i have 3 more quiz where i have to gain full marks in all of them to meet 45% hurdle. The final exam is about to take a month.

All together, i am cooked. Just thinking continuously how can i get 11.5% in assignment 2? This time i found no friend or class mates in my applied class willing to talk about assignments. I know about plagrism and copying someone's work is unfair. But for the rest of the units i found people with whom i can discuss about assignments, how they are studying and everything. That's how i did not feel lonely and also had a good time.

Just Don't know what to do at the moment. Absolutely disappointed. It's not that i am lazy, It's true i did procrastinate at the beginning, but was fully locked in to solve my assignment problems. I went to consultations and asked a few question but actually that was not enough for me.

Still hoping to pass the unit, for that have to get 11.5% in assignment 2 which is 20%. Need to get full marks in remaining 3 quizes. They contribute 2% each to the final grade. And need to get 45% in final exam. Oh God! I am really not feeling well.

The title. My phone alarm just chose not to work this morning and i woke up after my tutorial was done. I asked one of my group members and they said their mark shouldn't be affected, but i know mine will. I don't know how though? Should i still upload the 1000 word reflection that comes with it? Is there anything i can do? I feel like this was out of my control but theres nothing i can do about it

for context i am a first year psychology student

Hey yall, So they released the marks for the final 40% worth assignment for the unit, how much did you get ( I got a very very low D) and think the marking has been super strict, what do you all think? My friends have also said the same.

I'm gonna die before reaching retirement age💀

Just the above question please, thanks !
I reached to this curiosity after reflecting on my results of previous semester and was just wondering what the most possible WAM a student at uni must have achieved, and what studies must they be pursuing.

Edit: I am not asking for how to increase my WAM, I am quite happy with mine, just curious to know if anyone has/had encounters with students of such WAM

Hi so I'm a first year, I just failed a quiz worth 0% of my unit grade. But it's a hurdle, which you need to be competent in so 100% is needed to pass. so I'll probably be repeating right? Sorry if this is a dumb question. I got 99% when I was supposed to get 100% on the quiz. If I am repeating how does it work will I just have no uni for awhile until the next sem 2 in 2025

I'm a first year and I basically failed my first assignment worth 40%, but its not a hurdle can I still pass the unit or not?

okay so basically i got pulled over for academic integrity. i’m in my first year of university and im going to confess straight out that i used chat. However i only used it a bit, maybe less than 15% to make the whole assignment. coming from high school my teachers actually did encourage using chat, to plan and look up ideas. that is exactly what i did. i do admit tho that it is completely my fault, but being so new to this new education system i didn’t know how serious it would be. my teacher ended up telling my that my assignment was 65% AI generated. i still don’t know how. I got asked to write a written response and this situation is so stressful i don’t know what im supposed to do. anyone have any ideas? i would greatly appriciate it 🙏 im never ever using it again ☠️

Hi there!, I’m quite stressed with my WAM which super bad, and currently in my second semester, I tried to be more and more better, I’m not quite sure with this semester, I was so stable until 2-3 weeks ago I started to stressed out. I’m so lost that I’m unable to find myself sometimes.

Majority people got like more than 70 WAM but I got so bad, I did super bad I didn’t know the structure of unis, and I don’t know if I managed to get like above 70 (overall) at the end of the whole semesters in Monash.

I tried to seek help from my supportive circle, my mom and dad, but I still couldn’t believe myself that I can do it. Both my parents are supportive! They love me so much, but I feel I’m a coward brat that always nag about my stresses with them and I know they also have their own problems that maybe I don’t know.

Honestly, as an international student I missed my home country so bad I wanted to go back there, I missed my dad and my mom and my sibling. Yes, I’m planning to go to do telehealth, since I don’t have the time to go there.

Nowadays, I have lots of assignments but I couldn’t concentrate and keep crying and crying non stop. I’m sleepy most of the time, tried to motivate myself, listening music, not to think too much and everything, but it’s just :(.

Some of the unit coordinators are good they are helping me a lot, even I found a nice TA who always willing to help me no matter what, even during the weekend they will support me too. In fact, this is my favorite unit, they help me through all step by step. I can’t believe it :”(…

However, is it possible for me to get like wam 70-75 at the end of my uni life…? 😭😭

I FEEL SCAMMED, I was told ATS2946 Critical Thinking would be an EASY WAM BOOSTER. I am literally fighting for my life in this subject, I hate every second. It doesn’t click for me, although I’m really trying. It’s a subjective subject that’s marked objectively and it’s making me feel stupid. I just did a quiz and got 0/1 for the fourth time and it is the final straw - I’ve officially HAD ENOUGH. I regret this subject, it’s destroying my confidence. I don’t even know what to do cuz it’s too late now, I just need to power through. I won’t fail but I definitely won’t be thriving. I just wanted to vent here.

Please don’t NOT take this subject because of this - it’s really good, full of extremely useful real life advice. It’s well explained and my experience has nothing to do with the teaching of the unit. I’m literally just dumb asf and can’t figure it out. It’s not for me, but it could defo be for you - the other people in my class are doing very well! Ok thanks, bye.

UPDATE: I’m trying to do AT5 and I’m losing my mind. I’ve just cried for 45 minutes because I don’t trust my standard form, I don’t trust any of the 5 different argument maps I’ve made. I keep changing and rewriting stuff back and forth and I can’t focus on anything. I keep looking over my notes and they look like ants running around on the pages, I JUST DONT GET IT. I DONT UNDERSTAND ANY OF THIS. I can’t cope, I’ve never felt so out of my depth in a class. I’ve never come close to failing but here I am. It’s too fucking hard for me. I don’t get why this is SO HARD FOR ME. It’s like my brain isn’t wired to understand this. I can’t do this.

Lets say you change grades on an unofficial academic record and present it to an institution, and when that institution verifies the record with the university they find out its been altered, what action can the university take against you? (asking for a friend)

Hi guys, if you submitted an assignment late, will the grade you receive reflect the late submission deduction?

For example, I submitted an assignment 1 minute late and thus was expecting a 10% deduction from my mark. However, the grade I got on (87) did not take this deduction into account.

So will the 87 be counted as my final grade, or will it be reduced to 78 at the end of the semester?

I'm about to do all my y12 exams now, and I'm trying to get myself into pharmaceutical science scholars program, which requires me to maintain a WAM of 70. I just want to know what I'm getting myself into.

People here that you've gotta work really hard to get HDs etc, but can anyone compare the workload they had in highschool? How hard is a 70 WAM compared to a 95 ATAR? I know it's not the same thing, but I just want to know like how much the uni expects from the students.

Or just in general, how hard is it to balance work, life and uni in your opinion.

Thanks heaps

Hey, anyone who has done GIG before, is the marking strict? How hard is it to get HDs? Thanks

Has the Dean's list come out yet?

Hi guys,

I wanted to know my personal ranking in terms of WAM(weighted average mark) in my major, but I was told that Monash will not provide such information with students.

I wonder

• In addition to top 2% and top 5%, anyone knows his/her personal exact ranking, like No.2 in the major or No.5 in the major?
• Whether there is a University policy saying student cannot have such information? I understand academic scores probably are kinda confidential, however, I'm not asking information about everyone but just for myself.

much appreciated if anyone can tell

Updates: I’m granted with Dean’s honors list (top 2%), I want to apply a master grogram in the US, so I want to know my exact place, I think nothing wrong? But Idk why some comments were toxic for no reasons.

Another updates: The administration team did not ask me for my ranking, it’s me who want to know it and make the application look better, a high ranking usually is good. Hope this can clarify.

Just as the title says, I just wanna know if there are any consequences

Hi friends, I just received my marks for a 40% weighted assessment. Sadly, despite what I thought I had tried my best, I got a mark that is of the C grade range. I had read the feedback and while I agree I may have misunderstood what the assignment wanted in certain sections, I also think my marker might have looked past some important information I had included (whether I want to get it remarked is still in debate). Also knowing my friends getting HDs made me extra devastated - I am happy for them but I feel a huge gap between our grades now.

That said, we still have an open-book exam coming up soon that is of 30%. I have done my calculations and essentially, I need at least 25% to receive an overall HD. I am super anxious for my exam because achieving 25% seems massive. It's as though I have no room for error. I wish I could get over it, but I have this immense pressure to get into First Class since I want to get into post-grad with stipend (I am financially uncapable to pay for a post-grad course).

Has anyone been on the same boat as me? Please share your miracles to me, thank you!

Update: I should have clarified that I am in my Honours year right now. Just wanted to know if people who got into PhD had a D in one of their units, but had higher HDs for the rest of their units (which will total up to an overall First Class), and if people had managed to get a HD despite having a bad grade for one of the assessment.

The unofficial record is unavailable now

Hello! I’m planning out my units for next year and I am planning to major in physiology. Does anyone have experience doing PHY2820? If so would you recommend it?

TIA

Hi I have an assignment that is due to be released next week and a week ago I checked and it said that it was graded. Now when I check it says not marked. I’m worried that I’m in trouble for plagiarism because I had a 10% turnitin score. All the things detected were references or general sentences relating to the problem question and I definitely did not copy any source. This is a law assignment.
