Not a Happy Bunny

TVU still haven’t got around to giving me the classification for my degree yet. One lecturer forgot to put my grade on the system and now the faculty office appears to have lost one of my projects, business as usual for TVU.

Read the full (updated) saga here (opens in new window).

They have now found my project and “I can now graduate”. Yay. Just have to wait and see what grade I get now.

I hope that it is as obvious to those reading this as it is to me after having spent three years dealing with the place that TVU’s main problem is communication.

  • The lecturers need to communicate when they aren’t going to be there to the students and/or their colleagues, so that either another lecturer can cover or students don’t waste time and money traveling in for nothing.
  • The University needs to listen to the students instead of continually putting barriers in front of them, we didn’t need plasma screens in all the labs, we needed a lecture theatre that worked, we told you, you didn’t listen.
  • Lastly the university needs to realise how powerful communication is, the students that leave their institution will communicate their experiences to others and eventually TVU will have no students.

    shit man, having read those emails it seems like they’re getting themselves in rather a mess over this.
    i’m sure it will all turn out good…

    Hey Ian, I won’t tell you my mark until you get yours (it’s kinda unfair if I do) I do sympathise with you as I’m sure most of the TVU alumni do. TVU’s lack of communication skills left a load of us with really good degrees but not much in the way of new skills - kinda sucks but as Jon said, I’m sure it will turn out good.

    Cheers guys. At least everything has been sorted out now just waiting on the grade. I think I’m still on for a 2.1 but it depends on wether the grade of the photography re-sit was capped at 40 or not. It shouldn’t have been but I wouldn’t be surprised.
