Outstanding lecturer!

I drafted out a copy of my Term Paper yesterday, emailed the lecturer, asked a few Questions and also asked for opinions on my draft. Guess what reply I got? "I fear that giving comment would be unfair to the others". In my 1 page long email, he answered none of my Questions and replied with a 1-liner. What I know not is lecturers are so damn busy that they can only reply 1-liners email. I would think it is his sheer laziness that he can't be bothered to read extra readings. Why should he care right?!

It is this very lecturer the type who doesn't teach during lectures, by far, attended all of his lectures, I can conclude, I learnt nothing out of any at all. Alot of friends are already skipping his lectures. What am I waiting for? Equally useless are tutorials, some "gameshow style", my ass!! What sheer waste of time! Now I understand, why no freshmen would take up this module, all those in my class are mostly graduating students, if its not a core module, I believe no one would bothered!

And not forgetting the fees hike, it is this very KIND of lecturer that is going to receive a BIGGER paycheck in exchange with providing us a WORLD CLASS EDUCATION.

Speaking of fees hike, our dear Nana is correct, though I do not know who this Nana is, Mr Danny Quek has gotten his ass moving, cliched us a closed door diagloue session with the senior admin people today at 1730hr. Though only 50 students can attend this session, I do hope their will voice out the students' concerns and let this session be a fruitful one.

Many things have been going on these few days. We have the "Black Shirt Protest" or is it "Black Protest", not very fantastic response, Talks of a online petition, summoning up 45names to call for a Extraordinary Meeting with NUSSU to date they got 50odd names already, Ablilty to call for 1 is one thing, whether or not it is able to pull through is another, the article states that 5% or 200 whichever less number of ordinary members must be present at commencement of the meeting. And since its a EOGM, there will be no vote of no confidence, it is just to sit around and talk about the agenda put forth, pull up a few votes if needed and hopefully things will change for the better.

There is a moron who posted a insensitive and ignorant comment that goes, "So Glad I'm graduating this sem..hahahaha". Apparently it backfired and received many comdemnations. This is a classic example of the fruits of our education, ignorant fools. 3 years of Uni education hasnt taught him much.

I was thinking that this fees hike is a conspriacy between the 3 Universities, announcing the hike together, 1 week before term break, and YES! All 3 Univerisities are having mid-term break next week, such coincidence! Maybe they were thinking of letting us grumble for a few days then send us packing for our term break and after a week, we will forget all about it. lolx..

One thing to clarify, if there is anything I'm unhappy about, it is definitely the University Admin, for failing to inform us through proper channel of the hike, for the failure to consult us in view of this matter and also their failure to be transparent about their fianancial spendings. I've got nothing against NUSSU, nothing against Danny Quek and Co and I do understand that NUSSU has always been sidelined by Uni Admin.

Below are 2 articles written by NUS students to the Straitstimes forum.
