I understand that no one wants to deal with deferring. But this week I've sat through multiple exams around people who couldn't go without coughing every 10 seconds or sneezing, for the full 2 hours. Yes, people do notice you and are getting distracted, and yes you can get them sick too by being next to them for 2 hours.

EVAs exist for a reason, and you'll probably do better when you're not completely sick anyways.

If you really have to come in, at least wear a mask, or cough into your elbow.

Just had an exam and I accidentally wrote my answers in the question book instead of the answer book.
Am I cooked? Does anyone have a similar experience?

unfortunately will be having to defer an exam. does anyone know when we would receive details for when/where to sit the deferred exam? thanks

hey everyone the exam is on the 4th and i havent done shit for it, do we need to know history, calculations etc ? whats it like ? so far ive got like 33% out of 40 and the final is worth 60%. do i need to study a lot for it if im aiming for a minimum 70 on exam?

I think it was a very reasonable exam, what did you guys think? I reckon I was well prepared enough with the great material and tutes that I could understand most of the concepts before going through my revised outlines ... if you see this Aiden, thank you for the unit, it was my favourite one this semester and I encourage anyone to do it next year!

Just a PSA because it's currently not publicly available (the enrolments page hasn't been updated and askUWA FAQs just direct there):

A peer contacted askUWA and let me know that re-enrolment opens on the 2nd of November.

For everyone look to enrol in the upcoming Summer School or just for 2027, this is the date you can do that from. This is by no means an indicator that you have to rush and get it done on the day, you have plenty of time (though less if you're keen on Summer School), I just know myself and others were wondering about it so just making a quick post to let y'all know.

Good luck to everyone currently being crushed by exams, drink some water.

We pay thousands of dollars for each unit (especially more as international students) but yet the uni doesn’t seem concerned enough to keep a working clock in the exam hall. Mine was stuck at 2:45 for two hours and the venue was too big to see the other ones. Does anyone know how to handle this? We aren’t allowed to wear digital watches either and this is a huge problem that keeps happening. MKTG2238 exam is when this happened

When are we going to stop normalising the cruel price gouging at campus IGA, praying on time- and money- poor students.

Everyone please join me in a collective boycott. I understand independent supermarkets like IGA are inherently more expensive than the duopoly but the even the majority of items at Broadway IGA are cheaper and have more frequent specials whereas campus IGA is airport-level expensive everyday even though I assume (feel free to lmk if im wrong) the campus IGA would have lower running costs/ be subsidised by the uni.

I am genuinely concerned for the person who wrote the MATH1011 exam today. Genuinely concerned. Completely prepped to ace the exam, know the format, how to answer the questions, and everything. Then they hit you with the biggest curveball known to mankind.

The exam wasn’t anything like how they formatted it within the last 4-5 years. No questions from the previous exam were present at all in this recent exam, and the amount of content that was supposed to be there was scrapped to be only using the last few weeks of content is absolutely insane. God dammit this unit.

I have seen dozens of high school students level 3 reid today. Before I complain to PAM, are they allowed on these levels during staffed hours? I am aware they can't be after hours what about normal hours. I couldn't see much online.

The fact we pay to use these libraries and they can waltz in whenever they want bothers me and there is so many of them!

Guys this is so late, but can someone please give me tips for CHEM1002 exam, I have it literally at 2pm tomorrow, and so scared. I’ve done past papers, don’t get half of it, but mcq is fine, and still haven’t mastered all the content.
Any tips would help if u have sat the exam

studied so much for exams and I’m so unhappy with how they went and literally thinking uni is not for me when I know I’m capable of doing really well🥀🥀🥀

How is everyone prepping/ doing damage control for this unit’s final. I’ve seen a few posts about this but it seems to change all the time

If I see someone leave their stuff at a seat then proceed to disappear for 2 hours, essentially taking that seat up in the busiest hours of the day. I'm wildin out, that stuff is getting chimichuked onto the floor.

Hello, I was recently diagnosed with ADHD but it was fairly recent and I haven’t had the chance to apply for exam support. I was hoping it would be okay but I’m floundering, I can’t focus at all in the exams and I’ve just more than likely failed the same unit twice. I’m miserable and I don’t know how on earth I am going to be able to pass my last exams like this.

Is there any services available for me, or do I just need to live with the fact that I’m going to have to redo a semester.

How did people find the signals and systems exam, after doing a million past exams I instantly went from feeling alright to so unprepared for the actual one when I was in there. It was nothing like the past ones so pretty sure I’m fucked.

Also what is the point in having a bunch of tiny 3 mark questions and then 4 fucked ones containing 70% of the marks.

Are they well supported and maintained?

more consultants!!!

How did everyone find the exam?

got a law exam tmr

Surprised many people do not know how Chakma left Canada.

For reference: https://www.nteu.au/News_Articles/Media_Releases/no_confidence_vote_UTS.aspx

I am considering writing to NTEU and formally raising the concerns regarding Amit Chakma and what I believe to be huge decline since he has taken over.

There is precedent for a University-wide voting mechanism to determine confidence in continued leadership (see link to UTS vote).

I believe UWA is not even close to its former self. I also think that UWA's reputation is being continually harmed under Amit Chakma's leadership and that continued decline is inevitable.

I think enough is enough. Under Amit Chakma there is not one aspect of the University I think is even at its previous level, let alone improved. Students and Staff have the power to make voices heard and this mechanism may finally indicate just how little confidence remains in Mr Chakma leading UWA to any of its former glory.

Not only UWA, but Western Australia deserves proper educational leadership and I cannot see any evidence of this at UWA.

Please vote.
