    Welcome! Switching from lurking to posting was one of the best decisions I ever made.

      I would type many a comment previously but discard it before posting haha but now I’m sorta like “why not?” I’m studying a bachelor of IT!

        Smart cookie. At what uni? A lot of my students are also in the FIT and they bemoan how difficult it is and how mean the faculty is

          I go to Deakin haha idk if it’s good or bad (and I guess it doesn’t matter), but I reckon it’s pretty alright. What school are you with? I say with, I’m assuming not a student? I find mean faculty super unnecessary and that’s a huge bummer for your students to have that experience

            I work at Monash. My STEM students are always so taken aback with how chill we are in humanities. You need an extension? Take a couple of days. Need a mental health day? I’ll send you the materials you missed out in. In my personal, professional opinion, I’m here to give people an education and help them learn. I want them to succeed, not fail. If you’re failing or not coping, then I’m not doing my job properly.

              I love your approach! If universities- no actually, if the world had more people like you it’d be a much better place. Your students are very lucky to have you.
