Hey people who've done uni recently, is it common to have weird irrelevant assessments?

One of my tasks is literally "draw your feelings" for 1% of the total grade, and there are a couple of other ones such as participation as a research projects and giving course feedback.

At my institution, course feedback is voluntary and anonymous. Seems like it could be problematic having course feedback tied to one's grade. I haven't done stats at my uni, but I'm pretty sure they have a "draw your feelings" 1% grade task too.

Also my school specifically has a big participation element to the marking, because tutorials rely on group discussion and participation in the thought exercises to demonstrate that individuals are actually taking on the knowledge. Past first-year courses (which get a lot of people not staying in the area and just taking it as an elective) a bunch of the smaller participation stuff tends to fall away (outside of attending tutorials and completing homework).

Is Turnbull putting a Marco Rubio and just repeating the same lowering pricing line robotically?

It's just LNP strategy. Look also at Abbott's tenure as opposition and PM - just repeat the same lines over and over again.

What is the AFP doing in Parliament?

I saw the headline on Sky News this morning. Apparently nothing (other than some sort of ongoing investigation).

quote:

The Australian Federal Police have denied executing a search warrant and on the Parliamentary Office of any Federal member of Parliament in the past two weeks and seizing any material.

Officials from the department in charge of Parliament House have been assisting federal police with an investigation.

An AFP spokesman confirmed on Monday the agency had been 'conducting inquiries with the Department of Parliamentary Services in relation to an ongoing investigation'

However, the spokesman dismissed reports that a search warrant had been executed on an MP's office in the past fortnight, nor had officers approached any MP to voluntarily obtain documents.

Leader of the House, Christopher Pyne told Sky News he doesn't know the first thing about the reports or what they are in relation to.
