Hi r/deakin!

Hope everyone had a nice break before the Nov 1 results dropped. It’s been a bit over a week – a good pause to sit with this year’s highs, lows, and everything in between.

A few reminders as we move forward:

Individual exam papers don’t usually come with routine feedback, but if you have particular questions, your Unit Chair or Student Central is there to help.

For general feedback on the unit or assessments, reach out to your Unit Chair for an EoUA review (just know this isn’t a formal results review).

Results for special or supplementary assessments and the Start Anytime calendar should be up within 10 working days. If yours isn’t showing yet, check in with your Unit Chair.

If you’re unclear about your WAM calculation, especially if it’s unique to your course, Student Central can clarify.

Apologies for getting this rolling a bit later than usual.

Looking back, this year has been very transformative, stacked with revelations and revisions…mostly pretty unamusing, whether good or not. Through it all, one thing I always come back to is the ability to bounce back. Days later, things settle, and emotions level out on a fine, level playing field.

And of late, I’m tired, probably always tired (aren’t we all?). Reading loads about obscure physics in connection with electronics, maths and music. Writing exotically introspective stuff on the side. I revisit later, surprised by the razzle-dazzle, even more surprised that it's only to gawk at most of it. It’s compartmentalized, so I don’t dwell on it too much in day-to-day interactions.

For those who decided to take a break because it was too much, know that things will feel a little less taxing with time. For those of you juggling it all – from career to family to classes – we understand that there were times when dropping out felt therapeutic (not to say it wouldn’t be). Ultimately, it depends on where you are in life and the 360-degree lens you’re using to take in what’s going around. If you’re still here, one thing is certain.. you’re setting an inspiring example of dedication and tenacity, showing that it can be done – not just for your family but for all of us.

For those clocking in extra hours, acting as your own support system, and reestablishing the much-needed nitty-gritty of prerequisite knowledge and skills under a serious time crunch, it’s inspiring to see such love and commitment to clarity in learning, even as you're tempted to race through important stuff in a rigid course sequence with limited offerings (especially in Tri-3 :S) and not much flexibility to move things around to make the chronology make sense. A journey can be rigorous and a little nutso, without being rigid. Thank you for treating learning as something to savor and fully experience.

And… for those graduating, cross the finishing line and finish fine like an ace!

So, where’s everyone at? What could we focus on understanding better, and where are we looking to go next? SEBE folks, especially Engineering – how’s it going? Chime in, y’all.

I’m all ears for those open, proactive, and supportive tidbits. With enough interest, we’ll gladly set up follow-up threads, AMAs, or Q&As focused on specific faculties and courses. Just got to let us know or do one anyway :)

Hope we keep showing up for each other, finding strength in this space as we balance multiple fronts. Thanks to everyone who’s here, who posts, comments, and encourages. You're what keeps this community alive, and the numbers show it.

I find myself manually flairing most incoming posts, but we hope the community will start using the system consistently. Added a flair guide (visible under “Related Subreddits” on the right for PC users, or by tapping rdeakin> and scrolling down on mobile).

Here’s to a great 2025 (irresistible) ahead. Take care, stay connected and keep moving forward! 

Hello r/deakin community ,

I hope everyone had a refreshing break! Did any particular music or outings help you recharge?
How are you all feeling? Do you have a tagline about it for us?

Week 0 has begun, and soon we’ll get our Trimester 1 results, releasing on July 4th at 10:30 am via the StudentConnect Portal (‘Assessment and Exams’ -> ‘View your results’).

Congrats to those who already got their Semester 1 results on June 27th!

A few points to keep in mind :

In future, to get your results 30 minutes earlier via SMS, update your contact details in the StudentConnect Portal under ‘Assessment and Exams’.

Check Results key to understand your grades better and consider joining the results release webinar for guidance from Student Advisers.

Individual exam papers typically do not receive routine feedback. If you have questions, talk to your Unit Chair or contact Student Central.

Asking for feedback on EoUAs from the Unit Chair is for unit and/or assessment task feedback, not a formal results review.

Ensure that results, including those from special or supplementary assessments or the Start Anytime calendar, are released within 10 working days. Otherwise, please reach out to your Unit Chair.

Contact Student Central for help calculating your WAM, especially if your course uses a non-standard method.

Use this thread to discuss everything about results as they come in: your expectations, reactions, and action steps.

Everyone responds in their own way. Some may want to sit with it quietly, while others may prefer to discuss them immediately.

Those who want to write out their thoughts, your reflections could also help future learners in their prep. You may not be able to cover everything in its entirety, but try to discuss what you can. Feel free to ask questions, share reflections, or seek and offer support in this thread.

Let’s unpack the past few months ; every insight or oversight, big or small, is welcome.

If there’s interest, we can branch out into follow-up posts for discussions specific to faculties or classes. Let's start the conversation and see where it leads us!

Best of luck everyone!

P.S.

Exciting update everyone. The 'Course, school or faculty' user flair is editable.

Just head over to the sidebar and find the option to edit flair. It's a pencil icon on a PC. On the Reddit app, tap the three dots located at the top-right corner of the community page. This will open a menu where you can find the 'Change user flair' option. These should work!

Established a post flair system! Here’s an opportunity for everyone to classify posts and make navigating the sub much easier.

Enjoy customizing!
