best people and planet units?

Its absolutely shit.

Matt has closed down a lot of "loopholes" that made it an easy D. I wish i found out before taking it as thats the whole reason I took this class. Oh well. And thats the thing. I absolutely loathe Matt because he's a pretentious arrogant old fuck that only talks about himself (I stopped going to his lectures and instead went to the one taken by the fillipino lady) , yet suddenly when he finds out people take his class just for an Easy D, he punishes everyone! How about next time you just go and write a syllabus thats fair from the start and doesn't attract perverse enrolments but anyways.

He also changed the HTML assignment ala nanny state where he decides he knows what do and don't want in our website and said you can't use this javascript or that one AND I want the table IN THE FIRST PAGE ONLY bla bla bla

Quizzes are garbage, okay, we had the first one a few weeks ago , and NO ONE PASSED, tutor said the average mark was 19/80... Why? Matt deliberately picks obscure and forgettable facts from lectures and now puts them as quiz questions, each worth 10 marks. Its a joke. There was about 95 slides in total to revise for one quiz! And now we've got another two coming, yay

Then for the first time ever (apparently), now with the stupid group blog and video (thankfully my group seems OKAY), there is a peer assessment at the end of it where basically you get to trash your teammates anonymously if they did nothing which is fair - but its also very subjective too..

I'm sorry, this unit is the biggest joke of an excuse ever to exist in the Australian education system. Matt makes jokes out everything (including himself), his quizzes are designed to make minced meat out of everyone because they are that unfair, the fact that he's forcing us to upload our group Videos to Youtube (um hello privacy?), you can be sure I'm taking mine down as soon as this stupid subject is over.
