You serious? I sure want a lecturer like yours & evilcs...but is he/she allowed to do that? I mean give you the question? Couldn't this lecturer get in trouble for doing it?

No, they can run the course however they please. They don't even have to set exams if they don't want, they could base their final marks just on assessment tasks if they thought it was appropritate. (I actually did wonder why they didn't just give us the essay questions as an assessment rather than an exam!) And everyone in the course got given the questions, so it's not like certain peopel got an advantage over others.

And even then I only got a stoopid credit.

Well, they did mark pretty strictly seeing as we were getting such a sweet deal. And it wasn't just a subject where you could get the information out of a textbook, you had to really do your homework and think about it. Most people got around the same mark...one of my friends actually failed it, which would have been a real bummer!
dat really suckz to fail... i cant do dat considering i need to get credits to transfer
homework
i'll try to do it this time and do lectures talk fast?? my bro says some do so i'll b screwed if i had to get down ALL the important points down?????

Most lecturers make overheads or powerpoint slides with all the important notes on them, so you just write them down as you listen to them talking. Very few just talk at you and expect you to get down any relevant points. If they do just talk-they usually comment on what bits to be writing down.Originally posted by zaijan_85

You do have to write fast, but if the lecturer starts going to quick to get all the notes down everyone in the room starts moaning and they will usually try to slow down. And if you do miss some stuff, you can always just refer to your textbook or get the notes off a friend. You can always get the info somehow.
Was that SCLG1001 with Sue Goodwin??? I did sociology too and i don't remember being given the exam questions, but i got HD though so i'm not complaining, just curious?Originally posted by Butterfly_Wings
