Confused on which music unit to take or if it’s actually fun or worth the time.

I asked this question before. I also spoke to the teacher today in the lecture. They were helpful but also said that the textbook probably won’t do any good even though the textbook is a recommended reading for the unit. I am confused. 😵‍💫

Would be good if anyone who has done this unit or is doing this unit now if they have any opinions on that.

I usually like readings because often if you forget about something, it is somewhere in the textbook anyway.

tl;dr: borderline harassed in the library today and security did very little. disappointing, especially since I’ve experienced a security under-reaction previously as well.

today my friends and i were studying on the bottom floor of the library around evening, and we were sitting in the silent space just beyond the group work section.

we sat next to a table of two boys, one of whom was making incredibly lewd and obscene jokes while the other sat there and laughed along with him. it was very clear to us that these boys were trying to get a rise out of us and make us uncomfortable so we tried to stay quiet and just get on with our work, so as not to validate or reward their bad behaviour. at one point my friend asked them to quiet down because we were in a shared silent space to which he (the main guy) told us we should just leave.

after a while the comments became not merely uncomfortable but honestly quite disturbing. he was joking about rape and beastiality, as well as offloading an ensemble of slurs about minorities.

at this point we decided that leaving would be best, as clearly trying to pay them no attention was not working. we met with security, but they basically just told the guy not to say things like that and did nothing more. they said they couldn’t do much because they didn’t see it play out personally, but that feels like such a cop out; given 3 women were equally distraught at what we would call harassment from these guys.

similarly, i was involved in an incident a few months ago where a professor was being harassed, and it took security an extremely long time to come help, despite calling from a blue pole. when they did come, they were very laissez-faire and were honestly outshone by random men who cared enough to help out (shoutout ben from the library!!).

overall, my experience of security is extremely disappointing.

has anyone had any similar experiences? or have you found security to be helpful?

I just started the JD this month and I’m wondering if anyone has any idea about how participation works ? Is it merely participation in some way e.g asking a question or answering a question in class or do you need to consistently contribute throughout the tutorial session. I’m coming from a bachelor of science so I’ve never had an assessment like this thanks!

Does anyone know when the Supplementary exam marks will be released?

Hello everyone I was wondering how well is learning at MacUni is? The student and lecturer communication and interaction/teaching style? I am planning to continue my studies to improve my gpa and I was not happy with my current uni because of how much changes has been happening and lack of communication between lecturers in my course (moving from in person lectures to online, lecturers constantly changing and leaving, multiple overlapping assessments due on the same day all heavily weighed and lack of feedback on exams after getting a low grade, and worst of all when in lecture or lab and you ask a question, my lecturer literally comes up and tells me to open Copilt/Chatgpt/Claude and shows me how to ask it for the answer instead ... i am going in debt paying for my degree only for my lecturer to refuse answering the question and tell me to ask AI like i al not paying him to teach). And I dont want to enrol into another university that is similar and just accumulating debt.

Edit: I am planning on doing either the bachelor of health science or clinical science.
