agoodwinsmithI am completely, but completely annoyed.
I am trying to find out how long a University of Melbourne bachelor's degree is in either time or credits - the equivalent to BC degrees of course, but any website that has the type of information I am looking for will also have the type of information I need in order to compare their credits/units/points/whatever to our credits.
If I want to find out what I need to do in order to complete a Melbourne degree, I need to have applied to the University and have a student account so that I can log into the portal where their grad audit info is kept. Grad audit for students is excellent; I wish my school had it, but it doesn't help me compare UofMel to my school if I can't see a simple grid saying something like: student needs a total of 120 credits with 48 credits at the upper level and 6 credits of science and 6 credits of social science and blah blah blah.
They have something new that they call The Melbourne Model. The only way I can find out about that is to watch a freaking video. I don't have time to watch badly made smugly delivered advertising crap. I am a fast reader with the ability to skim very rapidly, and if you give me words - printed words - I can find what I am looking for immediately. With stupid boring horrible videos I have to listen to absolutely every futile piece of slobber in the whole thing - and *is* there something to print to put in an applicant's file? No.
Although it may seem that I have spent more time whining here that I have on the UofMel's website, that would be a wrongo-bongo assumption to jump to. Being print oriented, I can also type really fast, and even though we are all the way down here already, I have spent less than a tenth of the time I spent fruitlessly clicking linkies on the UofMel's website.
ARRRRRRRRGGHGGHGHGHGGHHGHGHG!
Thank you. I feel better now.
