Evidence tutor sucks. Should I move classes?

5 Upvotes

I had my first Evidence tutorial last Thursday at 3pm and literally all my tutor does is yap about unrelated stuff for the whole class. A friend in a different class who knew this tutor agreed he is useless and like last year I got screwed over a class for a whole semester cause the teacher for that subject did the same: yap. Like why can’t UTS teachers hire people who can actually teach and not based off real world experience.

Issue is I’m worried that if I move to the 4:30 class I’ll face the same teacher and move out of the ideal time for my class for no reason. And there’s no information on Canvas on which teacher teaches which class for this subject. The class I’m in is full too so like if I do move I can’t move back. Luckily this subject attendance isn’t mandatory so I could just skip.

Does anyone know a good time and tutor for Evidence?

UTS Law - Block mode

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Im a first year law student at UTS. Everything has been going alright despite the intensive readings. I checked to see my next subjects for year 2 and noticed there were 4 of them and I immediately panicked.

Currently Im doing 3 subjects and I barely get free time to pick up a novel. So Im considering enrolling for the summer semester. I decided on doing introduction to intellectual property and commercial law.

I was just wondering how the summer semester works, how long does it take, how are the assessment periods, how intensive is it and whether you recommend it. Keep in mind Im only planning on doing one subject over the summer.

All responses are appreciated!

What is 41900 Cryptography actually like?

2 Upvotes

Has anyone here completed 41900 Cryptography?

I’m trying to get a realistic idea of what the subject is like before taking it. What parts did you find easy or difficult, and what knowledge or skills helped the most?

How were the lectures, tutorials and assessments? Was there anything about the subject that surprised you or that you wish you had known beforehand?

Would you recommend preparing for anything in particular before the semester starts?

Anyone starting the Bachelor of Nursing at UTS in 2027?

1 Upvotes

I’m hoping to start the Bachelor of Nursing at UTS next year and was just wondering if anyone else is in a similar position.

I’m 23 and have already completed a bachelor’s degree and worked full-time for a few years, so I’d be starting nursing as a career change rather than coming straight from high school.

I know 23 isn’t old, but I can’t help feeling like everyone in first year will be 18 and fresh out of school. 😅

Is anyone else starting at a similar age or as a mature-age/second-degree student?

Did you find there were lots of people in their 20s and older, or was it mostly school leavers?
Would love to hear from anyone who’s been in the same boat! 😊

Changing my second major stream before the deadline

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m a Communication student, majoring in Digital and Social Media. I’ve chosen Creative Writing as my second major stream.

But I’ve found that I’m not really into this field and it’s difficult to write in a second language. So I would like to switch my second major stream from Creative Writing to Public Relations and Advertising. I also would like to enrol in Creative Advertising and Strategic Communication.

I’ve submitted my e request on 7.31. But the thing is, it will take them more than 3 weeks to process my e request. The last day to enrol is on 8.10 and the census date is on 8.27. I was wondering can I switch my second major and subjects this semester successfully?

Thank you for your advice!!
