Worst fucking run course ive ever/will ever come across. This always happens when women are solely responsible for running a course. Im writing a complaint email tomorrow.

 

[Sarah168]

[absolution*]

well the woman says our summary which wasnt specified in the uos was to be 1 page long. then after i spent a whole fucking day sorting through the essay and preparing my information we get an email saying that it was only a guestimate and now that shes checked with the lady whos marking its now only 4-6 sentences long. a 6 page essay. fucking whore,. im gonna fuck her up hardcore next week.

 

[Sarah168]

edit: ahh they changed it. was originally a guy when i checked last time

[stazi]

[absolution*]

abs, what are the assessments like?

on the whole they are ok. its mainly just practise in academic writing. speech at the end of the semester kinda scares me though. no homework. 2 hrs a week. meh to be honest its a total bludge.

 

[stazi]

brilliant. how many essays or whatever and how many words

 

[absolution*]

2 essays like 1500 words. 1 fucking big speech. and a journal. thats all.

 

[Sarah168]

how long's the speech???

 

[absolution*]

10-15 minutes

 

[Sarah168]

thats not too bad!

Re: Ecof1001/1002

BUMP

I'm taking this unit this semester because I have a space to fill until I am able to begin senior units in econ, govt and ecmt next year. It's not a core subject for me.

I had originally chosen ecop1002... but that was before ecop1001 last semester. ecof1001 seems useful. However, I'm returning to uni second- week and thus miss out on being able to see what the subject's like in first week, change out of it etc. They've put nothing on blackboard yet for it... so I am only aware of what's been provided in the handbook.

Does anyone have any more information? Examples of texts examined? Speech content? Thankyou so much .

hahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhaha!

etc.

doing that unit would be quite pointless unless its a core uos

...

There's no other prerequisite I need to complete in first year. That's why I've chosen an inter- disciplinary unit from the eco+busi faculty this semester.

But of course I appreciate your well- informed advice, stazi.

Re: Ecof1001/1002

surely it's not interesting though and it'd be more worthwhile taking a fun course.
