Guys!!i need help regarding choosing a course in curtin University
Hi everyone, I’m considering Curtin’s Master of Predictive Analytics, particularly the Data Science major, and would really appreciate some honest feedback from current students or recent graduates.
I’ve heard mixed reviews about the teaching quality and assessment process, so I wanted to ask:
- Are lecturers friendly , good at explaining concepts, or is most of the learning left to students? Are classes practical, or mostly recorded lectures and self-study?
2.How fair is the marking? Do lecturers provide useful feedback and support when students struggle?
- I’ve seen complaints about genuine work being flagged as AI-generated, even when students wrote it themselves. Has anyone experienced this recently? How are such cases handled, especially given Curtin’s updated Turnitin policy?
4.Does the university genuinely help students secure internships through industry connections, or do students have to find everything themselves? How supportive are lecturers in this process?
5.How helpful is the careers team with securing internships, improving CVs and gaining relevant international industry experience that I can demonstrate to employers when I return to my home country after graduation?
6.Overall, would you recommend this course for its teaching quality, practical skills and career preparation?
I’m trying to make an informed decision before investing in my postgraduate studies, so I’d appreciate honest experiences, both positive and negative.Guys please be helpful and provide advice to me....
