Not Thinking University
You know, I'm beginning to detest school.Oh wait. Correction: I'm beginning to detest the university admin.
It's great that we don't have bidding, 'cos I'm pigging sure I'll never understand the system and get the modules that I want. The STARS seems like a perfect tool; simple to use and convenient.
But what happens when the system goes bonkers? Like registering good Year 2 kids as Year 3, and result in them risk forgoing registration?
Worse, after 'discovering' and correcting the mistake, they switched the number 2 back to 3? And happily denied these poor kids from their electives?
Pig-Off, you mad moo moo admin!
And if that's not enough, the mad moo moo admin (hereby referred to as MMMA) is not doing ANYTHING to help! So what if MMMA gives us an add/drop period? All the popular modules are taken up! We had better chance if we're still in the freaking waitlist!
Pig-Off, I say, PIG-OFF!
The next brainless thing that they do? The STARS appeal system. The guranteed us a reply in 3 working days. You know what that means?
IT MEANS, YOU WILL GET A MESSAGE READING "WE HAVE FORWARDED YOUR REQUEST TO THE RELEVANT SCHOOL AND THEY WILL SEE TO YOUR REQUEST."
Argh! Ultimate stupidity! They must have all failed comprehension in primary school. Perhaps they failed listening comprehension too, judging from the fact that they can absolutely miss the students' cries of help.
So what if many of us have less than the required 16AUs? So what if you are a double major student and your second major electives are registered as Unrestricted (meaning you have to queue along with others)? So what if you can't graduate in time? Good for Not Thinking University! 'Cos they can collect more school fees?
SCHOOL FEES! Another pigging issue! MMMA, if you still haven realise how difficult it is for POOR students to attend school (no, loans don't help), can you jolly well empty your pockets and help us?
And MONEY! It takes so many freaking documents and procedures to reimburse money. And yet it takes millions of years to get the money back. And I think they even lost some of the forms! Grr... Actually I think they are overworking the poor girl. Why can't they employ/transfer another person to help her? We can all be happier!
Back to STARS. What we really want and really need is our subjects. Does it even cost you anything to extend some classes by 3-4 places so we can take them? We understand class size needs to be small for some, but I don't see much difference between 15 and 18, do you?
*grunt* I've been resisting the urge to rant for ultra long ('cos hall server, for some reason, don't allow us to blog).
Now, for some ACTION.
Blog about Not Thinking University and it's MMMA if you are pissed too. We shall let them see how many dissatisfied students they are breeding. Hm... maybe if the numbers get large enough, we can start a petition to sack the MMMA! (Gah.. this is almost impossible.)
