    Northumbria Uni - Disgrace!

    Lecturers!
    How difficult is it to ask a question to these people and actually get a proper answer? They always take the time to reply sarcastically! When they could've just told me in a line or two what I was looking for!

    Foreign students
    Now I've no problem with them personally, but my problem is that I've twice done group work where I was the only English person and I'm also in a seminar class this year with 7 french people and a Norwegian tutor. I'm the only English person in the class! The group work past was a nightmare because they were all Chinese and could barely speak a word of English, so everything took ten times as long and I end up doing all the work. UNN need to stop filling their pockets with the huge fees these students pay. If I wanted to be the only English person in the class I'd of went to Uni abroad!


    Where are my results?
    ME: Where can I get my results?
    RECEPTION: Room 226
    ME: Where can I get my results?
    ROOM 226: Go see your tutor.
    ME: Where can I get my results?
    TUTOR: Go see reception

    Spot the problem!


    ROLL ON THE SUMMER!

    i once got burdened with a group that was all chinese except me

    they could bearly talk english, and made no effort to, and just sat drawing stupid pictures and talking chinese all the time and doing sod all work.

    I hate it when you get put into groups like, i like to work with people that I know and that I can actually talk to and work with and who I know will do the work!

    Nowt worse than someone else bringing your marks down like
