Re: Semester 1 Chatter Thread

yeah so she cancelled the lecture. email came 30 mins before the actual lecture when everyone already fucking left home. seriously, wtf is her problem. if she knew she wouldnt be in her other lecture, why couldnt she send us an email. i went to bed late doing her piece of shit essay, and hoping to ask her questions in the lecture since she "Can't email back".

So, now everyone has no clue what they're meant to be doing. If I get a shit mark I'm going to complain to the head of school based on:
* Her academic referencing style which is completely made up. If she used that style, no one would publish her articles
* Her constant value judgments in lectures
* Her lack of supporting evidence for her claims
* Her inability to express viewpoints conflicting with her own: this is academia, you can't just ignore the opposition!
* Her errors in the UoS outline, which include spelling errors, assignment due dates, and the percentages they are worth
* Her conflicting expectations: e.g. present an annotated bibliography, without actually doing an annotated bibliography or making your presentation in that format
* Including the bibliography in a small word count, for a broad topic. Effectively this penalises students for having done more research and not basing their arguments on conjecture
* Her excuse for not emailing us with lecture notes or responding to our questions. She is right handed and can write on the board with her arm, and on feedback sheets. However, why can't she occasionally send out a brief email?
* The lack of warning for lecture cancellations

Yeah breaking your wrist doesn't mean you can just not do anything.

You have two hands for a reason. It might take twice as long, but you can type with one hand.

Watch me type with one hand. Woo!

What do I find out when I get there, a whol bunch of other people bitching about how no one knows whats going on GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! I'm soooo angry!

How are you finding the essay? I'm basically going to do what Stazi said. I reckon, aslong as I justify it and frame the question around my area of discussion, I should get a HD hehe.

lol you spoke to me today didn't you?

in other news, I got my international marketing case study assignment back today. Average mark was 11/20 :s was so nervous, and when i saw my paper I only got 78.5%, so was all sitting there depressed (as I need to keep up my HD average in marketing to get $3k at the end of the year). Then a girl next to me is like "oh wow. congrats"

Turns out it was 18.5/20, not 78.5%. Yayz.

I had my first Stazi sighting today. He was at the E&B building sitting on the floor with his laptop outside one of the labs.

What a handsome man.

Confirm/Deny ?

Oh confirm! He's such a nice guy. I had a friend who stayed back at the little meet up outside the lecture theatre, and although she doesn't know who Stas is, she described him to me, and said he was sooo nice. Giving everyone some advice etc! Champion!

if anyone else is doing govt2119, the mid-sem results are up on blackboard. (she's hidden them away under 'lecture outlines' for some reason.) average was 64, median was 66.
