Anger! Rant! Argh!

Really miffed with SMU right now... not a particular event perhaps, but a whole collection of things happening throughout the semester and holidays... Or maybe it's just my lack of sleep, and overall "Sian"ness today...

HOW CAN YOU CALL YOURSELF A MANAGEMENT UNIVERSITY WITH SUCH A LACK OF PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT????????????????????

1. COMM100 - no advance notice of such a class given... last minute decisions... ONLY changing their minds to allow foreign students to return home AFTER much outcry. Where's the planning? Ok fine, maybe one isn't so bad...

2. Statistics - What kind of classification is given. Why Stats A and B? Surely there has to be a reason? What is the reason behind splitting JC and poly students for this? As if poly students never took statistics during their course? Or as if the Maths paper had SOOO much stats within it. Gods. It just doesn't make sense. Shouldnt a wiser choice be to split Stats A and B according to those who NEED it more? Like, for example, accountancy students would need statistics? And what's with the timetable given, then last minute allowing poly students to change to stats A? That seems to me just pure laziness in coping with all the last minute pleas. I could be wrong, just a conjecture, but it totally does not make sense.

3. Timetables - Timetables were given out before holidays, ok that's great. But during holidays, many changes were made, most of them after christmas period.. 28th and 29th. Surely that's GREAT planning indeed! And it of course takes into account those people who are overseas on holidays and do not check their mail/boss everyday. Whooopie!! Impressive indeed.

This surely bodes well for me learning MANAGEMENT and business... I am overjoyed. YAY.
