LECTURERS WHO CAN'T TEAN'T TEACH SHOULD JUST DO RESEARCH & F
-
My sincerest opinions. I'm here for an education, not a difficult time entertaining people who *think* they can teach. Plus, those jokers who can't speak good English, should jolly well enrol in some English-speaking course. They don't know how we the students are frolicking in orgasmic laughter whenever they deliver their lectures in the LT with their stupefying accent. Or maybe they do know.. but are in chronic self-denial..

I AGREE MAN ... what the F**K are they doing here?!!

hello hello ! i'm new here....n mite be going in SOC.....dou u tink i've made a big mistake here ?
i heard abt the long lab stuff, boring programming lessons...blabla....
SO HOW ? -
Let me tell you something about SOC maxell.. it just SUCKS. Well it doesn't if you like to have tests on Saturdays almost every week, and spend your whole damn sunday trying to do some lab programs at home.
For the record, for our second semester, only one of the "core modules"'s lecture sucks. I won't delve into which one cos it's quite obvious.

Damn!!!
Are you serious bout spending your weekend stoning at the computer and programming all that shit all day.....can't imagine how me going through all that.
By the way,how's life at SOC???Do you guys gathered for a gaming session every now and then or is into researching new breed of computer virus.Cheer up guys..... -
hey theychosenone.......
DATS IT MAN !!!!!!
I'M !@#$%^ !!!!
I'm only praying dat i won't be admitted to SOC !
shite man.....THERE GOES THE SOCIAL LIFE !!! -
No lah... life is "not really" that bad lah... but close enuff.. *Grin*.. we do have regular gaming session lor... provided u buy ur own notebook. It also depends on how many "core" modules u try to take a sem. "core" modules are meant to be more taxing than the "essentials". There are also regular "chionging" sessions at pubs(Not Venom). It all depends on how u plan the rest of the miserable time left. Life will goes by more quickly than u think. So fast that u will gradually think back in time and ask urself "hey.. my yr 1 labs are so easy.. but why cun't I do it a yr ago?"

I BEG TO DIFFER MAN... SOC SUCKS ... and it still SUCKS.
The onli reason y anione would come to SOC is onli so that they can get an IT related job next time.
YES , MY DEAR FRESHIES , it IS that JIA LAT in SOC. If you get in(which is DAMN EASY ,like BCD can liao)
The yr 1 labs weren't exactly easy for us at that time.iN FACT I sometimes feel some 1102 labs are easier than 1101 labs.Aniwae the thing is get readi for a miserable life in SOC loh.
Aniwae SINCE WHEN WAS THERE PUBBING SESSIONS??!?!!?!?
Aiyah it all boils down to yourself lah , to have a miserable life or "better" life loh.
If you're in , TAKE IT LIKE A MAN lah..At most struggle 3 years onli mah..

Let me state my background: I was from DISCS, graduated in 1998.
I was around as the archer even then.Originally posted by BluEyEBoy:
I'm glad to know that you are around for an education. But if i'm not wrong, by the time you reach varsity level, you should be doing the bulk of your learning by yourself.
My sincerest opinions. I'm here for an education, not a difficult time entertaining people who *think* they can teach.
Your Lecturers are around to present the information and to clarify doubts, not to spoon feed.
I'm curious about your definition of "good english".
Plus, those jokers who can't speak good English, should jolly well enrol in some English-speaking course. They don't know how we the students are frolicking in orgasmic laughter whenever they deliver their lectures in the LT with their stupefying accent.
Or maybe they do know.. but are in chronic self-denial..
If you are refering to written grammer and such, It might come as a surprise to you, but your lecturers do have to write research papers that are presented to the various bodies who are interested in their areas of research. If the international bodies at large can understand the english used, i wouldn't think that there is a problem with their english.
If you are talking about their accent, well, I've been working for 2 years, and have had quite some chances to interact with computing staff of various nationalities. All of them find our accent unique.
So do you think we should enroll in a language course to rid ourselves of this accent?

but as i pointed out in an earlier post, university education is not about spoon feeding and regurgitation. you are expected to learn stuff by yourself. Your lecture notes serve as a source of information, but its still up to you to learn the information.
Sometimes i think the poly lecturers have a better life: they can teach in the University style, and they don't have to worry about their graduated-from-A'levels students bitching away at them.
SO WHAT IF YOU ARE AN HONOURS OR MASTERS STUDENT?
SO WHAT IF YOU ARE A PROFESSOR IN SOC?
Can't teach?F**K OFF!
Please realise that you are responsible for your own education: what you learn and how well you learn it. Your lecturers can play a part, but the amount of influence that they play is very limited: its always up to you how much you want to study and whether you want to clarify things with your lecturers and tutors instead of bitching away.

from the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
well, in the first place, no one forced you to enroll in computer science right?
YES , MY DEAR FRESHIES , it IS that JIA LAT in SOC. If you get in(which is DAMN EASY ,like BCD can liao)

secondly, school life is pretty much what you make of it. If you choose to be miserable, you will be.
thirdly, no one asked you to delay your lab projects and programming assignments till the last minute.

Jia lat.. now instead of having a forum for us to say something which we won't get "lectured" for , we have ARCHER...wat a wet blanket!
Can someone pls ask him to STOP LECTURING US?!
Things are different then and now.
Wat I said is purely out of my own experience. I don't expect you to agree but PURRRRLEEEESSSEE!!!!Don't gimme all those crap that I see from the comp sci BBS lah.
Archer first blabbered:

Firstly , how was I suppose to know how FUCKED UP the tutors and system here is?
Secondly , I'm pretty much adjusted to the way things work here , THANK YOU VERY MUCH , I'm NOT some "tortured" computer science students...life is wat you made of it ...yaya.. I noe that lah... Don give me this kind of counselling SHIT.
AND THIRDLY , cs1101 labs are done ON THE SPOT. And like I alreadi said , I sometimes find 1102 lab better to handle.SINCE WHEN DID I SAY THAT I DID MY LABS LAST MINUTE?YOU GOT MY POINT WRONG , ARCHER.

____________________________________________
ONCE AGAIN , you are missing the point here.
I did NOT say that CS stuffs are unimportant.
But one thing you brought up is wat some people think -- that jus becos they do some CS modules they can look down on IS modules.
They think that they are GOD ...well things cannot be compared this way.Just like some people they are great at Maths and poor at Art and vice-versa. -
Heyz.. i'd juz graduated from SOC too and i must say i do understand how u guys feel. Nutting beats being de 1st party yeah? Din like those PRC nor Indian lecturers where i had a hard time adjusting to their accents but we gotta learn to adjust to our environment sometimes too, no?
Frankly speaking, what Archer said has a point too. Itz part and parcel of life that we lament whenever we are unhappy abt something. Let it out; den, let it go. The more u choose to harp on it, de more miserable u're gonna make urself to be.
Frankly speaking, i aint much of de studious-type while i wuz still in SOC. In fact, i've had labels such as "Chiongster", "slacker", "eat-snake-queen" all tagged on me. SOC is not totally all work and no life. Your life is what u make it out to be. U choose to enjoy, juz be sure u know when to pace urself and catch up on ur work too. Itz all up to u. Have fun, Good luck and work hard
