lets hope it keeps declining

I hate it with every droplet of blood in my body! I only got 50% in the first tutorial test><
They should really slow down first yr uni, so people from high school can go through the transition more smoothly...sigh sigh sigh~~

uni is the lowest point in my life>< i wish i was born with superior intellect and ability to adjust to new environment.

Hey chewy, don't worry so much...you know I thought I was stressed...but seriously 50% is pretty good...considering the fact that the average mark was 35%...

Also, I think everybody is in the same boat as you...I mean, they're worried about everything as well and they prob don't even get as good as you but they don't really give it too much thought I guess...And also in uni don't expect (esp in law) to get 95%+ like you used to in high school. The best student at unsw law only got 88% WAM in the past few years so really 60%-70%ish is fine.

And also, everybody has their own problems. The people with superior intellect as you say also have their own problems. They don't lead perfect lives just coz they're geniuses. Everybody feels overwhelmed by uni...just hoping that we will all get used to it...

Go our class! Hardest test out of all classes with an average of 3!!! Yeah!!!!!

Our tutor came in shaking his head lol

Oh and I forgot to mention sth else, chewy...my dad told me that the dean of sydney uni law said that relaly the uai for law need only be 85...as that is good enough for law...

My QMA tutor told us that marks were given wherever possible...which is nice seeing as I was preping myself for fail...oh wait I did...but at least it wasn't 0...right?

 

[08er]

yeah considering class average of 3/8 id say 4/8 is pretty good chewy

Chewy, Law will get better. I can promise you this, I am currently doing 3 law subjects (Contracts I, Public Law and Foundations of Law). It is very interesting and most of what you will learn in Foundations and Torts (next semester) will come in handy. I find that Public Law and Foundations are very much related.

QMA -- Anything's better than 0, even 0.5

[08er]

thx tehazner and onholidays...but sigh, the first two weeks of uni was complete hellT.T, gotten less painful since but still feel like i m just "tolerating" uni rather than adapting to it. (& sry for exploiting this forum lately for my own emotional relief, since this is the only place i can throw down stress without anyone knowing me in real life)

It's not that i wanna be spoonfed, but i just feel like all forms of support is removed since uni began. There are people telling me how they have friends doing qma quiz for them, and there are those who gets full mark by themselves. Those smart people have their own intellectual support, and those not so smart have their extensive social support....and i have neither.

don't worry, they'll fail come final exam time.

+1. As for teh support thing, why not try going to PASS or have some sort of weekly study session amongst your friends.

 

[TehAzner]

Those who collude together in the quizzes will ultimately fail in the finals. The finals are are 60% after all, and if you can't do the quizzes by yourself, you will most likely fail in the exam.

Btw, I would highly recommend going to PASS. The leaders that I currently have are really really good, and you get to meet new people as well. The one I go to is in Law 276 on Thursdays 1-2pm. They know their stuff and they have a formula sheet *wink wink*

To be honest it took me a good 2 hours for each attempt, but I'm actually starting to "like" QMA now...

 

[08er]

dont we get formula sheets in exams anyway lol

I think it's around 35 people, so I don't think you'd have any trouble joining the group.

 

[08er]

what exactly happens at PASS?

lols. Point taken, but you're probably super-smart anyways

They give you a handout with questions, and they work through it with the class as much as possible (it's only 1 hour after all). The questions are really good when it comes to revision time.
