Anyone else have a module that they absolutely hate?
I have one, its only on once a week as a double class at 4pm. The course itself isn't so bad but the lecturer is so very boring and dull. I am already tired by the time the class comes around and once I go in I hate it and learn nothing.
I think I only went 3-4 times so far this semester to it. Feel so guilty when I miss it as Im in my final year and really need to get a good result!
Nothing worse than a tedious module with a lecturer who just reads off the notes. (aka. most of my modules this semester
) 0 -

I've a module that's a triple class on a Friday from 2-5pm. It's a great module but the work that goes into it is extraordinary. It's 100% CA and group work based. There hasn't been a week since September that I've not spent 4-6 hours every week in meetings It's only for one semester so it's so bad. The module itself is really good but it just takes up so much time. 0

Tell them you have every intention of doing it

That's what nearly all of my modules are like. And then with all the other stuff I'm at, it feels like I'm doing loads but not doing anything at the same time.0 -

It's done! No sweat
Some weary, upset heads around the library today and why the fock have the library done nothing about people on FB. Line was nearly to the reception desk today and I must have seen a dozen people watching shît videos on YT or others on FB. The inconsiderate fockers.
SU I know you come here, is there nothing you can do? It's highly annoying.0 -
Theres Priority printing/work only Computers being sanctioned to solve the current problem which should be in full swing come exam time, which is when Facebooking will cause most rage. We only get two meeting with the Library staff and admin per semester but this has been our sole issue and is being tackled so watch this space.
Hope this brings ease to your annoyance BillyMitchel. I need you to Billy-eave. (forgive me)0 -

Cheers for the reply Mal, that's perfect! I hate to sound like a grumpy old so and so but it needed to be said.
Thanks for the heart, feel like I'm on Bebo all again! forgiven

Don't worry. This isn't the first time that this has come up and I'm sure that it won't be the last time! In fact I think it only came up a few weeks ago! The computers in the old part of the library have facebook blocked because of this very issue.
Am I the only one who keeps coming across people sitting on each others laps at those computers actually? Is it a secret flirting hub that I don't know about?0 -

Yeah it does but no one flirts with me so maybe ill start moaning about that once Facebook is blocked!!

I don't really understand why there are priority printing/work only computers being sanctioned.Theres Priority printing/work only Computers being sanctioned to solve the current problem which should be in full swing come exam time, which is when Facebooking will cause most rage.

They should ALL be priority printing/work only computers, not just some of them.
Why is Facebook in the library not banned completely? This is an easy block that can be sorted by the IT people. I've worked in IT. If they say it's not easy, they're lying.
I can just about barely understand that some courses ask their students to look at a rare video on youtube. But does that need to happen in the library rather than in any of the other computer rooms? No. I think youtube can be banned in the library too.0 -

Is it entertainment sites or just FB?
How big is the priority area going to be. At the moment if all the library computers banned entertainment sites there might just about be enough computers for everyone that wants to do work. Space is also an issue in the library, finding somewhere to sit can be an issue towards the end of the week. Would we not be better off if all entertainment sites were blocked from the library completely even over WiFi? I think the library needs to have a lot more focus on getting work done and not just being a place for people to hang out, if you want to go on FB or youtube or whatever there is always the common room, arts or the su.
I know I've wandered away from doing work plenty of times and I'd be grateful of not being able to, I think a few others would be too.0 -
