James Cook University, Brisbane Campus — Attraction in Brisbane City

First of all, Yes, compared to some universities JCUB seems expensive but they have facilities that you can use yes its a building only not a campus like other universities but if you want a big campus go to the Cairns or Townsville campus they are huge. The small community is kind of cozy and nice. Right in the heart of the city with Brisbane river just across the road. It is just perfect in imperfect way. Shout out to the Resource Centre staff Chi and Quetin for being amongst the best friends I made here.

A few points from my experience

The teaching staff aren't your regular teachers, they professionals from a diverse array of backgrounds from lawyers to business men. They provide you with valuable mentoring and insight into the real business world and their respective industries. If you are studying MBA be prepared to hands on experience from Luke, Max and Ian with real life experience stories to practical knowledge. To Rob Godby to Vizak and Gregory. You'll find each of them amazingly unique and memorable in their teaching. Trust me you won't forget Luke Spillar's lectures the most amazing lectures on campus.

There are learning advisers available on campus who can ask for assistance and support for any academic issues.

There are literally more than 9 clubs looked after the student association from the likes of Motorbike club to accounting club. With a number of different activities throughout the year.

You have access to job opportunities via job links.

You can access free consultations on your personal issues to legal issues with on campus legal advisers and counselling services.

I wasn't sure if this was the right University for me but now I feel proud to be a JCUB student. The most amazing memories of my time in Australia are from this place. Thank you to all staff for their support. From support through Covid19 to just home sickness. Thank you for standing beside me....

Dear James Cook University,

As a doctor, as a female, and as a human being I am writing to plead that you give transparency in the case of your student Uvindu Pansuja Samarasi Jayasekara who was found guilty of repeatedly punching his former partner at the school’s medicine ball.

I can no longer hold my high regard for you as a respectable medical institution whilst you allow violent offenders to practice medicine. Practicing medicine is a privilege. Every doctor works long and hard to keep our patients and colleagues safe but in your silence you protect a charged violent offender, and so put all of our work to shame.

I will support the victim of this case in the only way I can, which is to petition that you judge Uvindu Pansuja Samarasi Jayasekara unfit to practice medicine.

The public have the right to know about the criminal charges of their potential doctors. Doctors and medical students have the right to be safe at work, knowing our institutions are honest and will take responsibility to protect us.

The world can be an ugly place, and today medicine did not make it better. I urge all my colleagues to not stay silent in this matter. We must hold ourself to a better standard and police ourselves, for our privilege is that of public trust.

Kind...

From the start there were communication problems. Online studies allows lecturers to hide from students. With no tutors to assist, students are left on their own to resolve problems. The intensive courses don't give you the time to learn from mistakes. For example, if I had received results from my first assignment before I completed my second and had the opportunity to discuss the results with my lecturer or tutor, I would have adapted by writing style. A simple video on how to present your information in that particular discipline would have been of great help. To be fair to James Cook, my knowledge of data analysis was basic but you do attend classes to learn. Many of the problems I have experienced could be solved with better access to teaching staff and a little more forethought in course design. On the positive side my student liaison did her best...
