Honestly, I'm disgusted and disillusioned with the students of IMU as of now. The recent SRC elections was the subject of much heated debate in the IMU online forum.
Holier/Smarter/More-experienced than thou individuals criticized and insulted, basically bombed the way the SRC handled the elections. Using a not-so-selected choice of words too at that. Really makes one wonder if they actually think before the talk...wait...rephrase that to whether they actually think or not.
Ultimately Eve, Cheok Soon and Kah Heng resigned from their posts. Not because of the criticisms, not because they failed at their jobs but because after all the bashing, they felt like the very thing they cared for turned around and stabbed them in the back.
Not a day passed when a certain lecturer told his PBL group about another idiotic incident. Lecturer X told a few students one day that Lecturer Y's lecture was a little advanced for our current level of required knowledge and hence would not be asked in the exams. Word passed around (our lovable batch rep did so as well) as friends would try to help one another and that was, in fact, a really heavy lecture.
Soon lecturer X heard from lecturer Y that a student came up to ask if the lecture was really not required for the exams.
Can you imagine what lecturer Y must have felt when that idiotic student asked that question? Can you imagine the implications on the batch rep (who probably felt partly responsible for it)?
To the idiot who asked the question to the lecturer:
How many enemies have you made in uni that made you disbelieve the word of your fellow students? Even so, surely you should know that our batch rep has done nothing but work for us M104 students? Surely his word is believable.
Normally if a lecturer does not hand out notes, Johan and Renee would ensure that the batch receives a copy eventually. However after lectures today Johan (finally) announced that from now on, lecture notes that aren't handed out by the lecturer will have to be printed by the students themselves as he had not the time to do that stuff anymore.
This was met with a resounding wail of despair and negative statements from a large part of the class.
To all the assholes who did that:
Go boil your head, fry your face and then smear salt over it!
Johan and Renee have worked their butts off for you and all you can do is feel upset that they consider their studies more important than you spending some 40 sen to print out your own notes.
Talk about kiasuism!
Curse you to suffer as they have in the very near future!
Eve, Johan, Cheok Soon, Kah Heng and Renee - you have all done wonderful jobs. Yes, you make occasional mistakes but you are human too. And it's perfectly understandable why you did the things you did. Sadly such things go unappreciated.
