During this period of time, the lecturer,Julie Goncharov, ridiculously threw us 2 assignments without any previous notice. These two assignments account 12% of the total mark. It is true that we should do these two assignments because it is part of the course assignments, the lecturer was supposed to post it on portal in early March. The lecturer used strike as an excuse, but in fact she could post the assignment before the strike. Also, she refused negotiation and rejected all the suggestions brought out by the students without any consideration. What she said was that she could not sleep well if she cancelled the assignments. If that is the case, what about our sleep? We students are going to have a heavy workload during the exam period, and meanwhile, working on these two assignments. Therefore, we must sacrifice our sleep time.You know consequence -- a computer science student died this year because of lack of sleep. As for a teacher, why she is being so selfish and not caring about her students?!
So, hey my friends, let's work together against these unreasonable assignments!
She simply announced her decision on the assignment any refused doing a class vote on it. In one of my other courses which a lot more students were enrolled we were given the right to vote on any changes to the course. It is reasonable that she didn't want to give us free marks, but she even refused a redistribution of the 12%. She said if she had to gave up on the assignment she would doubt why she was there teaching the course, but indeed half of the course was not taught. This is simply UNFAIR to us. We didn't want the strike, why should we take this consequence brought by the strike? It is just unreasonable to have new assignment in April!
