Would you transfer if you found the unit comparatively easier or harder?
Easier, yet at the same time, I'd prefer a challenge which makes it more rewarding in the end.
How would you assess the difficulty of a unit?
Comparing UNSW's final exam papers with Macquarie's final exam papers. At the same time, I understand that there are other assessment criteria that need to be fulfilled e.g. participation marks, attendance marks, quizzes and so on, but not to so sound arrogant or anything, I've always done relatively well in those. However, the final exam is the only assessment component that has always let my WAM down.
Would you factor in the differences in teaching styles
One of my friends sent me a iLecture video of an Accounting unit, and to be quite frank, the teaching style wasn't that great compared to a similar unit at UNSW. This gives me the idea that I need to put in twice the amount of effort through the textbook myself whilst actively participating in tutorial discussion and answering questions.
Amount of support available
Support doesn't seem too bad based on the open day I attended on the 4th of January.
However, I'm not going to judge it simply based on that day. We'll have to see.
I'm certain that lecturers and tutorials are prohibited in providing marketing criteria with some respects. Well, this was the case at my University. If you mean assessment criteria, then I had a look at a few subject unit outlines of a couple of courses, and it seems nicely structured.
On a side note: I was too keen in making this thread. I'm not even sure if I'll receive an offer into the program yet, since main round offers haven't been released yet.
