Everything's perfect!
For the love of god, DON'T DO IT.
Just ask anyone in a science degree who has done an STS subject for that reason. They'll all warn you.

i didn't do this ecte subject but i've had those lecturers though. christian's better than average, but yeah i agree with the rest. i stopped going to davids lectures after well not very long, because his lectures would come directly from the slides, and he would mumble all the time, no matter if the whole class was talking loudly or what not.Terra_Niux said:

Look out UOW here I come!
I did a STS subject last semester, and it helped because its very laid back and doesnt have a final exam, which helped a lot during exam time. It was only had 2 essays and 3 point form things. Which didnt take a very long time.
More additions on BAD LECTURERS list:MuffinMan said:lecturer: tianbing xia
subject: itcs213
reason: lectures have nothing to do with the course
Philip Ogunboona: One of the worst lecturer's I have ever come across at uni. I took Engineering Programming with him. Knows nothing about programming, I have no idea why uni employs these kind of guys. Always used to mumble something in the class (he took few lectures only - this was consolation - other people were much better than him). Never finished contents of lecture on time. His accent also have problems. Some of the stuff he taught had nothing to do with the course. Always used to rave about things nothing to do with the subject matter. What a waste of time and money! Guys if you see him taking any subject just run miles away from him.
Peter Vial: Not too bad. Knows stuff. His lectures usually have lots of slides though. Sometimes very difficult to comprehend.
There are group of Asian lecturer's in the faculty. Most of them are useless. They can't even speak a single sentence of English correctly. Take proper caution before going to their lectures. On contrary, I must admit, I have heard lecturers like Willy Susilio is very good.

Ye i had Willy Susilio. He is a excellent lecturer for programming. He would give examples all the time, then ask if we understood and since no one would reply he would show us again to make sure we get it. He also had great humour so the lecture wasnt all boring, he had great jokes about fried rice. Oh ye he had good English.

I don't really mind lecturers with no passion coz it doesn't affect me as long as I'm passionate about it but what really pisses me off is when their lessons are unstructured, unorgnised loads of facts. I hate those lecturers that keeps on asking questions and then say "come on I want to hear some ideas" I mean I appreciate their efforts in motivating people's creativity but those kind of exercises is really ineffective when it comes to a one or two hour lecture per week.dawso said:
I had Philip Ogunbona for a subject Coding for Secure Communication. He was pathetic as a lecturer LOL!. I fully agree that he mumbles something during the lectures which nobody understands. I doubt he knows anything in computer science. If you ask him anything in class- will discourage you till death man (you guessed right ------ so that you won't ask anything in future LOL!). I understand he is head of SITACS. You can imagine if head is such a shitty lecturer, others are ..................:burn:golo2008 said:
George Zhou Very bad lecturer. This guy is a joke. Knows nothing, bad pronounciation etc etc (nothing kidding complete package man!). But makes exams easy. He is friendly too.
Willy Susilio and Jo Abrates Awesome lecturers. They are complete lecturers. Very good in first year subjects. They care a lot about students. They explain everything in steps.
Some tutors are great in SITACS!

Maybe when you did it (well at least with 114)....Scanorama said:
In 114 I asked one of the tutors (I think it was Cindy?) how the rand() function works (it was in that weeks lab), and she told me to look it up on google....

It's true. Computer Scientists anticipated bad teachers so they made the greatest most extensive manuals known to man which have propagated throughout the internet.poloktim said:Why *didn't* you look it up on google to start with?

This is the first result Google returned. It should be exactly the same as `man 3 rand` except on a pretty page.

Because lab tutors get paid to help students. I had already had tried to help myself by looking through the lab notes and lecturenotes. If I am meant to look up everything on google then what are the point of the tutors? Why should I go to labs (or even bother going to uni) if I'm not going to get help.poloktim said:Why *didn't* you look it up on google to start with?
I had Cindy when I did 114 too back in 2005. She and another Korean guy were very helpful, helped me got through the assignment as well as lab tasks.chinesefireball said:
