is anyone who does business here? cause im freaking out about this
There's the Women in Engineering and IT scholarship which I don't think applies to you and there's also the Edge program for early entry that can give some bonus points.Guys what are the main scholarships/programs offered by UTS mainly related to Engineering/IT??
I know of the BIT program, Co-op scholarship, IDeA cadetship... anything else?? @dav53521 you go to UTS, would you be able to clarify?
Alright, so my options for UTS are then BIT, Co-op, IDeA, Edge (for early entry)There's the Women in Engineering and IT scholarship which I don't think applies to you and there's also the Edge program for early entry that can give some bonus points.
regular BIT which use to be called Bachelor of Science in Information Technology is just a normal degree. While the BIT Co-op is a selective course which offers around 49k over the three years in scholarship money and offers two industry placements with sponsoring companiesalso relating to that, there seems to be the regular BIT, and the BIT co-op??? does anyone know much about these?
It is it's own thing as I think they accelerate or smth like that so they, place you in your own special tutorials (I think) for the core subjects, make you do only 1 major (regular BIT degree requires 2 majors) and count your internships towards your degree. I'm not too sure as I'm not in it so I don't know all the details about it as UTS has made it somewhat of a nightmare to find the Co-op site.So if I'm getting this right, Co-Op is just like an addon to regular (selected) courses? It's not its own thing?
So, Co-Op is less of a scholarship and more an accelerated program???It is it's own thing as I think they accelerate or smth like that so they, place you in your own special tutorials (I think) for the core subjects, make you do only 1 major (regular BIT degree requires 2 majors) and count your internships towards your degree.

It is a scholarship as you don't have to pay for your degree and you get paid scholarship money but it is accelerated I think and offers work experince with sponsoring companies so it's basically a scholarship that accelerates you (not too sure about this though) and gives you two unpaid internships.So, Co-Op is less of a scholarship and more an accelerated program???

Edge is just extra points to your selection rank to improve your chances of getting in.Alright, so my options for UTS are then BIT, Co-op, IDeA, Edge (for early entry)
And do you know much about how they differ and what they involve? I'm trying to search through the UTS website but they all seem similar to me :/
anyone?business case study essay is a nightmare.
our school doesn't give us case studies.
do i just make up a random business during the exam to fit the question.
why is this so hard?
noanyone?
yeah one of my friends was telling me about her exam and it sounded so insane and unfair, and the questions were so weirdHey guys some of my friends have been having their languages exams and have a few questions:
How is it fair bc apparently in the speaking exam if u do well then the examiner asks harder questions so it like ramps up? How would that work. Also isn’t this very subjective bc apparently some of them don’t ask hard questions at all.
as someone who did the speaking exam last year it's not unfortunately and the exam is much more subjective than nesa makes you want to believeHey guys some of my friends have been having their languages exams and have a few questions:

I agree with most of Masaken's comments. Speaking exams for Beginners and Continuers language courses are intended to assess students according to their ability to discuss a range of topics in the form of a conversation with their examiner for 5 minutes and 10 minutes respectively. The exams usually begin with simple questions that allow for the conversation to be initiated and developed, after which the examiner can change the focus of the conversation to allow the student to speak about different topics.Hey guys some of my friends have been having their languages exams and have a few questions:

how did u get away with doing the subject as a native speaker i thought that wasn't allowedI agree with most of Masaken's comments.

The exams usually begin with simple questions that allow for the conversation to be initiated and developed, after which the examiner can change the focus of the conversation to allow the student to speak about different topics.
If a student demonstrates a high level of fluency in the target language (where the standards that are considered high are lower in Beginners courses than those in Continuers courses), it is normal for the examiner to ask both follow-up questions and new questions that change the focus of the conversation in order to provide the student with the opportunity to maintain this standard for the remainder of the exam. On the other hand, if a student is unable to provide sophisticated responses, then the examiner will not be able to develop and change the focus of the conversation as intended (doing so would be pointless anyway if the student cannot further develop their answers) and will instead opt for simpler questions.
In terms of personal experience, while I obviously did not have any issues during my speaking exam since I am a native speaker, I can definitely understand if other students may have struggled a bit to answer questions of the same difficulty. This is therefore a reminder of the importance of ensuring that language students (this applies to all levels, not just Beginners and Continuers) maximise their preparations for their speaking exams.
This notion of subjectivity does not apply to Extension language courses, where all students have a choice of answering one of two questions in monologue form.
