Help Lecturer. Not teaching

RachealB

Hi First year student and really cant sit in another lecture with this teacher. She stands for 2 hours each week and reads out over 120 slids, it was 150 last week. No interaction, wont allow questioning. At the tuturiols thought ok, now able to ask questions. She handed out journal article and told us read it. She stood there for one hour and did not help, at the end she just said ok go now. I was like what. Dont know what to do. Going through slides myself and able to read the past exam papers, any help with this would be great. Thanks

I'd suggest talking to your course leader or the SU Academic Officer, Paddy Rocket.

Like the previous poster said, take this up with the Course Director in the first instance, and if they don't help, go to the Head of Department. Talk to your classmates too about this - if this lecturer is truly as bad as you say, there will be others with similar complaints and many voices make much more impact than one.

I'd suggest using the SU as a last resort if you're getting nowhere with the department reporting structure.
