    And without the use of a calculator :p

    What maths module is that in?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,555 ✭✭✭Ave Sodalis


    Ouch! How does that even work?

    On an unrelated topic, is there anywhere you can go make a complaint about a lecturer and actually have something done about it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,277 ✭✭✭Chris Martin


    I don't know and don't want to find out hard way :/
    MA4103 btw.

    You'd be thinking the Course Director but if push comes to shove I'd say chance the Councillor. Should be able to push complaint through anonymously.
    Oddly, ended up going there to switch course but they led me in right direction.

    Depending on the course those slots are usually cancelled due to lack of attendance. Is it a science-y course you are doing?

    No its Law and Accounting. Its an Acc lab :(

    Give it a few weeks and it'll be gone I'd say,
    I'd one this year and it was gone before tutorials started.
    And if it does stay, request to be moved to a different slot saying you've to make a certain bus home... They're generally pretty okay about it with tutorials, but I reckon it'll be gone after 2 tutorials max. Literally no one goes to them.

    I hope so. I'm ragin bout it of all the times I could've got they decide to give me that time even tho I've nothing on a Thursday. I did Acc for the LC and everything so its utterly pointless for me to go :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,277 ✭✭✭Chris Martin


    A lab...
    If there's more than one I'd say try and change,
    Otherwise, if enough people complain about it, or attendance drops too low they'll have to move it really..
    Decent chance of it getting moved anyway I'd say,
    Shouldn't have 6 Friday anyway with bus schedules and the like :/

    I'd bet it'll be cancelled after a week or two to be honest. Most lecturers that say they're keeping that slot end up having to change it because the attendance is generally piss poor.

    We're timetabled for one at that time as well, but we've asked to move it to earlier in the day and he's working on it so hopefully...

    Yeah course director and faculty head have been complained to countless times including by all of last years fourth years and a few lecturers that work with him. Anyone else I know who had him have complained too, but not an iota has been done about him. I might try the Councillor but I wouldn't worry too much about anonymously considering everyone left fuming today.

    Out of curiosity now, what's actually wrong with him? :P

    If that's Data Mining, that's be moved to right after the lecture on Friday so it's 1 to 2 now. Same room.

    Ugh I need to learn to drive :( I want to go to Krav Maga two days a week, but it starts at 8:15 on a Monday and 7:00 on Wednesday and lasts for two hours so I have to get my mum to pick me up and she says she'll only bring me up on the Wednesday because it's too costly to be going up two days and it's late which I completely understand but ugh I wanna do two days wah! And any of the extra meet ups they have are on too late too! Being reliant on parents for lifts is frustrating and I'm doing alternative modules for Erasmus so I was really excited to do it as my grades aren't a huge concern for this semester so I could put in the time and effort for it! :( Wah!

    I've been in agony all week with back pain. Went to the medical centre today and the earliest I can get an appointment is Friday afternoon :mad:.

    It would take too long to go through it all here :pac:
    If you really want to know and have a few hours spare, I can sit you down in front of my class and ask them what he's like :P

    By then, I'm sure we'll need the whole week to get through everything :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,277 ✭✭✭Chris Martin


    Just a straight out bad lecturer then.. :P
    Had one a couple of years ago, just chronic, for Maths.
    No control of class but kept talking anyway..
    Probably knew her stuff, just lacked the skill to get it across. :/

    Nothing worse than it :/


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,812 ✭✭✭Precious flower


    Is it just me or does anyone else noticed how packed the library has been? Since I spend most of my time there :P I noticed that it's quite busy given that the semester has only begun. It's my library damn it no one else is allowed!:pac:

    I was in same positition Monday morning, dying with a pain in my stomach so went to make an app with doc and all they would give me was tuesday so I went to see a doc across beside Plassey Spar and next thing ya know I'm heading out to A&E with a letter from the doc.

    Not one bit impressed with the medical centre for that!!! They should have room each day for emergency apps like!
