What students say

Enrolling in physics units at Macquarie is pretty straightforward. Most of them have prerequisites from the previous semester, but the system usually lets you enrol with a 'pending' status, conditional on passing those prerequisites. You just need to take them in the right order.

I took MMCC3031 and it only has two big essays, so the whole unit feels really condensed. But each one is chunky, so you definitely need to pace yourself throughout the semester.

Management

I found the exam focus a bit off. The second half of the semester always seems to carry more weight in finals, which is fine, but for my management course, the supplementary exam was based on an old final, not the usual mid-semester content. It threw me off since I'd prepared for the original focus. At least it made me review everything for the next unit.
