Maybe they want you to repeat it

As for me, my iLearn units are all apparently coming out on the 31s.
2/4 unit guides are out for me so far.

 

[BLIT2014]

4/4 unit guides out! Amazing and its before the semester even starts!

1/4 iLearn out! Despite it saying it wasn't going to be out till the 31st :/

Have you guys ever had work to do for a course before it begins?

I got given some work which took me about 4-6 hours.

Nah I just had a 'week 0' so lecture notes and then exercises to complete. They made a big deal of it saying that by law they can't force you to do anything but they said if you wish to do well it is in your best interests to do so (I wont quote it itl make me look like fk). This is for ACST212. They seem to be very upfront in this unit. Like I click on the unit admin stuff and I get this:

Should I be pursuing an actuarial degree?

The following are warning signs that you are unlikely to complete an actuarial degree in a reasonable time and that you would be better served by pursuing some other degree.

Obtaining a grade of Fail in any unit in the recommended program.
Obtaining a grade less than Credit in STAT171 or ACST101.
Having a GPA of less than 2.5 on the old 4 point scale, or 4.5 on the new 7 point scale.
If any of the above criteria apply to you, you might think you can fix the problem by repeating the relevant unit, or by attempting easier units to boost your GPA. This merely hides the symptom. It does not alter the fact that you will have difficulty passing several later ACST units on your first attempt.

In particular, if your GPA is less than 2.5 or if it took you more than one attempt to obtain a grade of credit or better in STAT171, then historical evidence suggests that you are unlikely to pass ACST212 on your first attempt.

Lol the make it sound like not doing well in something is like a disease...

To be fair, as someone who was really struggling at points with different aspects of my degree, having them be upfront and saying "You need to reconsider because this is difficult and your not going to get a career out of it" would have been really handy several years ago

You only need to resubmit if you change your degree. (IE. Change from BCom to BSc, Go from a single to a double degree or double to single.)

 

[BenHowe]

oh it doesnt phase me just seems a bit rough

 

[BLIT2014]

Also guys just a heads up the official date thing online says we start on 1st but we have received an email that says class starts on 31st July.

 

[mrstripedshades]

Are all tutes starting week 2 or no, the subject will specify?


also if unit Im not doing this sem isnt removed by the time we start should I probably contact them about it?

because marks and assessments do get processed through it

It's dependent onntge unit, but it usually says in the unit guide or on ilearn.

Yes you should. If you haven't been unenrolled properly you could recieve a fail on your transcript and have to pay for the unit still.

Check the unit guides or estudent my classes-> week starting 31st July.
If it doesn't specify anywhere then email the unit convenor.

If the units not removed by the end of next week, you can either email help@mq.edu.au or log a ticket at https://mq.service-now.com/onehelp_public/
