Hi Summer,

Ok that your internal mark is good. Might mean that you have trouble just with exams and not the subject material itself.

UTAS in Tasmania has counsellors to help with exam stress. Not sure about Kuwait but maybe you could ask your student association if they can recommend someone to help you with strategies to get good marks in finals.

goodluck

I have a huge problem and that is I am a bachelor Business management student who studies at Australian college of Kuwait under UTAS and I can't seem to pass even though my internal is good i fail at finals after studding soOo HARD...What should I do??? I am Even thinking of switching from ACK To GUST which is a college under an American university called i think Misuery, I just want a degree not a PHD and UTAS is making it very difficult in a way that i can only take 3 units to pass 1 and fail the other 2.

Don't just vent up, act! Postgrads may want to participate in this survey...

Survey of Mentors
(This survey takes only less than 1 minute.)

This is a very rough survey among Masters and PhD graduates to get a general evaluation of their mentors and to help prospective postgrad students in choosing a mentor.

To all valid participants, instead of your name, please enter the initials of your mentor, gender of mentor & field of study. You may enter more than 1 mentor (if applicable) but do not enter the same mentor twice. In choosing a rating objectively, think of the mentor's knowledge of the subject matter, allotted time to student, promptness of feedback, helpfulness in the student's progress, etc. You can also add comments. Thank you for your objective and honest participation.

Comment on University of Tasmania: Not a brick wall, more like a moral vacuum. UPDATED

Good idea to send email but you would get a better response if you 1) target your communication to a specific person and 2) actually printed it out and sent it (rather than email) Totally support holding Grad research office to account so keep at it!!

Hi Drew,
Sounds great, unfortunately the University is a bit shitty with us at the moment. So any investigation on Uni grounds would have to be "discrete" or even "guerrilla".
Still, that could be fun!
If you're interested we might have more chance of getting you into the "Mayfair in the Bay". Well, maybe.
If you're around Hobart take a walk in there. One of the UTAS Blog members young kids called it "the spooky place" and he was only 6yo.
We'll contact them and see how we go, they can't be more uptight than the University of Tasmania!

Paranormalists coming out of the woodwork!

Hi drew, we'll get in contact with you. We haven't heard from APIU for a while so don't know if they got lucky or not.

Interesting to see the uni has a paranormal interest, we are team strigoi and we have been conducting investigations around tas for over 5 years, plus i have over 25 years of research behind me. We are interested in old Bio-Med Library and would love to conduct an investigation. please contact us anytime for a chat as we are Launceston based.

"The University of Tasmania would sell its Grandmother for vivisection and then hold her down, while she was cut open if it meant a profit."

Nice.
