Hey all,
Im just thinking aloud here. I have returned to uni after being absent for 4 years. Different uni and different course now. But I just find it incredibkly 'backwards' compared to the other learning colleges I've been too.
For one, it is extremely impersonal, the classes are massive, and the lecturer will probably never know your name. If youve got a question you must refer it to a forum where other students can help you answer it. This seems dumb, getting your answers from other students who are is the same position you are. They seem to cut costs using the BlackBoard (forum) application.
Anyway, the technology and buildings are not up-to-date and limited. Its impossible to get a computer to study with for example, and once I had a tutorial in a hallway because no classrooms were available - yet it is much more expensive then any other form of tertiary education, and receives far more funding.
Anyway, Im thinking about quiting and just getting a job in my field as it is.
I dunno, anyone had any positive experiences of uni?
