well, it just shows how lazy macq students are ... while unsw students work hard (dedication)
no, head of actl dept at macq told me that when i went to the open day
true. we sold it due to macq uni's lack of funds ....
Well, it more likely shows that MQ students are hard-workin' because they know there is a high possibility of failure. Whereas at UNSW there isn't a need to work because they don't fail you people (as much).Originally posted by Da Monstar

maniacguy, people don't get all their exemptions at UNSW? And they still stay on?
[\quote]
Yes - usually it'll be because it's the first subject they've done that requires an exemption and they weren't expecting the step up, so that they're confident of getting their other exemptions from that point on if they do the institute exam.
Can you repeat subjects at MQ? At UNSW if you've passed the subject you can't do it again to try and get a better mark - you'd have to do the IAAust subject.
Disappearing rate? We're going to have to have a 30%+ disappearing rate by next year, because there's usually less than 100 people in third year and there are 150 doing the second year subject now...

I agree with flyin' - UNSW hasn't got anyone who would cry over getting a credit in one subject

So if you Pass and need a Credit, you have to it externally. Good system.
At MQ, you can redo those subjects you've Passed (but needed a Credit for). However, here's the catch, they only offer the subjects (specific ACST subjects) once a year, and they are prereqs for the ACST subjects (for exemptions) next year. This essentially means you're one year behind. And that's just for one subject you fail. And to make matters worse, if you fail the first round (or fail to get a Credit) there is a great probability the same thing will happen.
For example, we have a (relatively Advanced
