Student Surveys
Feb. 3rd, 2006 07:30 amI just got a link to "The Student Survey". Apparently it#s to help the NUS and whatnot figure out what universities are good and which are Durham. Anyway, so I plod through the bugger, and get to this question:
Okay, that wasn't the one I copied a moment ago, but ah well. Anyway, it was full of things like that. "The course has taught me to discuss academic stuff with other students," "I have become more confident as a result of the course," "I have learned such and such" and such bollocks.
Confidence? If anything, Durham's killed whatever remained of my confidence, certainly the academic aspects.
Ah well. Bollocks to it. At least it means I don't need to worry about offending people now that I'm pretty sure I won't be here next year. So I've got some bridge-burning to do, I think... First off I might consider, for instance, asking the Master why he reckons he can tell what I can and can't wear. Or maybe why he went paranoid about the airsoft thing and felt the need to have my room searched. And I'll certainly be deducting at least half the cost of my extended let from my third and last invoice. After all, if I had less than half use of my room during the holiday - I had to clear it so they could redecorate, which negated the point of having it in the first place - then I reckon deducting that money is perfectly justified.
And I'll be giving the ITS the bollocking of a lifetime.
As a result of the course, I feel confident in tackling unfamiliar problems.
