What would you most like to see information on? (2 Viewers)

[AsyLum]

Thinking of doing a few FAQ-style posts, so I was wondering what information were you guys looking at perhaps clarifying or think would be the most helpful?

The FAQ thread is quite old, and flyin' seems to have disappeared

 

[iambored]

I'm trying to remember back to when I was first year. Maybe some of the good posts about GPA, credit points, making timetables and so on can be complied. We get asked those questions every year. I think we also need something on short term and semester exchanges, since they have become popular.

 

[redruM]

Making use of the transfer opportunities at MQ. Like, to get into Actuarial Studies or through SIBT to get into a course at MQ.

 

[AsyLum]

Awesome, yeah, I'll see what I can cook up during the week and hopefully update the FAQ.

If you guys want to submit anything, I'd be more than happy to accept it

 

[sukiyaki]

we got great mods =)

 

[iambored]

i'd like to, give me about 2 weeks to finish assignments. by then i can see what we already have and if there is anything to add

also non-award, if there is anything we can add there. but surely that stuff is on a uni site somewhere but we seem to get a lot of questions.

 

[kami]

Umm..here's some random suggestions:
internal transfer quota thingys(i still don't get that 100% myself but eh), concurrency, that non-award faq you made a while ago was pretty good, um maybe something on SIBT? Oh, and about applying for honours, and some stuff on scholarships and exchange would be good.

we got great mods =)

Quoted for truth.

what about: what are the cut-offs for the specific grades (P,C...)

Can anyone think of anything else?

 

[AsyLum]

If anyone has any other suggestions formatting or adding new sections in, please leave a message here so I can keep the list updated

 

[redruM]

Can you see GLP fitting in there? I don't know...

Just an opinion, do you reckon it would be a tad more effective it was somehow grouped rather than in alphabetical order. It just looked like student.mq.edu.au. You don't see half the things there.

How about a year by year layout?

Year 1
Mentor Program
Transfer Details/SIBT

Year 2
Exchange

Penultimate Year
Honours


meh, I don't see how that is any more excellent.

Hows that?

 

[redruM]

I like it.

 

[kami]

If you want mike, I could do something for the language cert/dip bit since I've still got all the paperwork laying around(which they took off the site for some reason:s)

 

[AsyLum]

Yes please

It'd be great if other people could do some of the others, since I'm no expert

 

[AsyLum]

If you're done with it, could you PM it to me, or email it so I can edit it in

 

[kami]

If you're done with it, could you PM it to me, or email it so I can edit it in

Can I pm it to you this afternoon? *at the end of a last min assignment*

 

[AsyLum]

Whenever dude, I'm not going anywhere

 

[xeuyrawp]

A special place for law transfers wouldn't go astray. Do you need help writing any of it?

 

[AsyLum]

Yes please, any contributions would be much appreciated, just send it over, and i'll format it to standardise the layouts, but it'll be creditted to each person *as well as corrections *
