Action Maybe

Mcc students got together (well, spoke while waiting to enter a lecture theater) and spoke about are true feelings of the unit. Caroline asked people on Facebook to comment her with their thoughts. So I did :) I think it is quite funny how caroline is unsing an interactive website (that we have been studying) to get people to argue agains the way the unit is taught :) a little bit ironic dont you think?

I am really dissapointed in the Uni at the moment though i do have to admit. I hate that i keep posting negative comments on this unit (and scared that i will lose marks because of it?) but it does get to me, i want to work and learn and hate the fact that i am not really. I understand why the seminars were online, and as much as i hate to say.... i have grown to like them! I think they are a good idea because we are learning about online communication. It is just the lectures that are online now. Not learning anything at all. I do not undestand a lot of the stuff i research on the net, so i have just copied and pasted chunks in because i do not understand the content (most of the time.)

So this is what i put onto carolines Facebook page:

"I personally think that the unit is not organised and there is a lack of communication between the staff and between staff and pupils! I think it is ridickulous that there is no actual lectures and now the whole unit is virtual and online! We are paying so much to be at uni, but in reality we are not actually there! I think the seminars online are a good idea (but yet again we are gineau pigs) as we are experiencing the online material we are researching BUT having the lectures virtual too! No way! I think it is a lazy idea and is not benifiting the students at all."
