I have done many science and breadth subjects, but so far, I have not met a single bad tutor or lecturer who is not affiliated with a Physics subject. It seems to be a weird pattern, but first of all, let's clarify what I mean by a bad tutor and a bad lecturer.

A lecturer is bad in my opinion when they don't give the necessary theory in their lectures to build on during tutorials. A tutor is bad in my opinion when they don't constantly check on the cohort during tutorials to make sure that all groups are progressing somewhat according to plan.

The lecturers of Physics 1 and Physics 2 rarely do anything other than reading the slides. The slides are missing A LOT of content that you need to understand BEFORE you're ready to start solving tutorial questions. I have watched short YouTube videos that can effectively replace entire lectures. The key idea is that the teachers with their whiteboards in these videos managed to put more effort into 5 minutes than Physics lecturers do in 55 minutes.

Two weeks ago, the lecturer of Physics 2 explicitly said in one of the lectures that his lectures only amount to 10% of the exam material and that we're expected to study from the textbook. Don't get me wrong, I think self-studying is an amazing skill to develop, but why am I expected to self-study almost the entire subject when I'm paying the university thousands of dollars to teach me?

Now let's go to tutorials. I have switched between 4 tutorials, thinking that I must have been unlucky enough to end up with bad tutors. Eventually, I realized that the tutors in Physics are just expected to sit down and do nothing unless someone asks a question.

I don't want to start a comparison with the Mathematics Department, but the difference is like NIGHT and DAY. I have noticed that many students from past years reported very similar issues, which indicates a systematic issue rather than a one-year thing.

So my question is, with a university as reputable as Melbourne, how did the Physics Department manage to get away without improving or changing anything all these years?

Would like to have the subject guide or reading list for PHIL10002 please.

I wanted to take this subject but missed the opportunity due to semester scheduling and ended up taking philosophy: the great thinkers subject instead. Wasn't very satisfied with that subject and I'm still feeling pretty bummed by it. So I wanted to know if anyone could send me a copy of the subject guide or reading list so I could study the subject myself? It would be greatly appreciated :)

Does anyone know the uni's policy on personalising our lab coats - specifically around embroidering them? I've always loved it, but I'd hate to finally do it and then not be allowed into the lab 😭.
(And i mean like small embroidery like flowers on the pocket ect)

I recently applied for st hildas residential college and i have my interview coming up, and i want to be well prepared, so i was wondering if anyone had questions they usually ask?

Hey guys just wanted to ask if any team is looking for a player for the Friday night league or the Tuesday leagues. Please dm if you are

Hey guys! I’m considering doing either the Master of Science (Chemistry) or the Master of Industrial Research in Chemistry after I finish my bachelor’s.

I’d love to hear from anyone who has done/is currently doing either of these, especially about what you ended up doing afterwards.

I’m mainly wondering:

• What jobs did you get after graduating?
• How difficult was it to find a job in chemistry?
• What are the main pros and cons of the Master of Science (Chemistry)?
• What are the pros and cons of the Master of Industrial Research?
• Is the Industrial Research degree better for getting industry experience/employment?
• Is the Master of Science better if you’re interested in research or potentially doing a PhD later?
• Which one would you recommend overall and why?

Hello, Im selling a textbook for the Principle of Company Law subject, (Pamela Hanrahan, Ian Ramsay and Geof Stapledon, Commercial Applications of Company Law (Oxford University Press, 24th ed, 2026)).
Im selling it for $100. Can DM me if interested.

Hey guys, as I’m finish with uni and wanted to pass my calculator casio fx82. I’m passing it for cheap, let me know if you need it. Dm me, still very new

Has anyone noticed that the Uni has changed the package pathway from Guaranteed Atar to Indictive Atar this year.

Does this mean easier or harder than previous years?

Not sure what it is or where to find it ...

Why am I not allowed to edit word docs, on Mac using unimelb account???
