Inexperienced lecturers (1 Viewer)

[theone123]

Omg, goin to uni today was useless, and a waste of time, first of all i had inexperienced lecturer, which is a casual for uts, and secondly, he couldnt speak english properly, thirdly, it was suppose to go for 1 hr but it only went on for 20 mins, fourly there wasnt a unit outline supplied, we had to print it ourselves.

How bad, can u expect~~~~~~

that's pretty bad....
At least you only have him for one elective
So is this lecturer a casual at your uni as well???

who said he was inexperienced?
man, the elective is dead easy, who cares

 

[christ_ine]

I'm assuming he does.

the trouble with a lot of casual lecturers are that they are Phd/masters/honours students who are smart as you get, but just dont have the experience from teaching -ie. they know their shit, but have a bit of trouble relating their shit to the class. i had a guy like that today

True. But there are a lot of casual lecturers/tutors who are students and are really good, as I've experienced.

I'd be pretty pissed off in theone123's position. It's just an inconvenience seeing as people expect a certain standard.

My Lecturers are great. For Psych I have had John Haw and Glenn Newbry which have been informative. For Crim its was Denise Weelands and Dr Murray Lee whom have put forward a straight forward lecture and Dr Robert O'Neill is a really entertaining lecturer for Sociology. I have no problems with tuition at UWS.

I have some really young student tutors for crim and for psych, but they're really really good. I have no problems - OH I STAND CORRECTED! I hate that social policy lecturer, dear god...

One of my lecturers who's indian is so hard to listen to...her english is off and she pauses after every word!! She....puts....me....to....sleeeeep!.....

All my lecturers are really good and really nice. One of my tutors is asian and shes so hard to understand, so we just fall asleep in class.

 

[theone123]

most of my lecturers are also my tutors, is this common?

Denise is the devil in disguise.

Murray is really good though. His lectures get better in spring session crim.

I never went to sociology lectures, so I wouldn't have experienced Rob's entertainment

Psych is pretty dandy though.
