In my opinion besides the whose reality lecturer, the other two lecturers were really good, but too bad there was only 1.5 hour for each lecture.
It's all over now..

Whose reality was the worse, and they moved our rooms and we were stranded for like 20 mins. Um compensation for the time wasted and the bad lecturer who didn't even talk about the texts? :/ The look both ways lecturer was gooood, he was funny :)

I thought the lectures were okay. (went to AMFAS, Encountering Conflict and Language analysis)

I wasn't overly impressed by the context lecture for repetition (Ross Huggard - he'd given the exact same talk at my school, but was good the first time)

The AMFAS lecture was reasonable for interpretations and a general 'refresher'

Language analysis lecture...it was alright, but was fairly boring to sit through

Overall, worth the money but probably not the time

Language Analysis (A) was great. Cosi was good as well (but I sort of zoned out a bit since I was tired) and context was ok, I guess.

I thought it was all good. Maybe because i got the teachers that i wanted  :smitten:

Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me -- and there was no one left to speak for me.

I didn't think the toilets were that hard to find...they're like right where the lifts are...
And my lectueres were good, I'd say the scotch head of english guy was pretty awesome, Year of Wonders Text Response was good, context a bit vague but other than that, renumerated a few points I was sure to forget to revise over.

I too was surprised at the bunch of asians around, the ESLs pissed me off cause they kept chatting in chinese in the background. One girl ran out of the room randomly cause she felt really ill. the teacher was like
" So Anna Frith............................................................" and was just speechless.
