Have your say with LEX

The Learning Experience Survey allows you to give feedback on all your units and teachers via an online survey. It is important to participate in this survey because your feedback helps the University improve the quality of its courses, and also helps your lecturers and tutors improve the way they deliver their classes.

The survey takes less than ten minutes to complete and can make a world of difference, both now and for future graduates.

The feedback you give is confidential. Teachers and other faculty staff receive no student names or student identifying information with survey results.

Complete the survey and go into the draw to win one of twenty gift vouchers for JB Hi-Fi valued at $200.

To complete the survey go to QUT Virtual at http://qutvirtual.qut.edu.au. In the student messages box, a Learning Experience Survey message will appear. Click on the link: “Complete the survey”

Once you have opened the survey in QUT Virtual, you can complete it in 3 easy steps:
1. Select one of your units.
2. Select teachers you wish to evaluate from the list provided on the screen.
3. Complete the survey questions.

Again, please take the time to complete the LEX survey – your teachers and the university appreciate your feedback.

A month of Lazy Sundays

wow… just handed in my 141 assignment and i feel very liberated to say the least. In fact, in celebration, my roommate and i are going out for a beer after work. She is also celebrating because i’ve been insufferable for the past 3 months and now she gets a slight break. So we are going out for a beer… and i don’t even drink beer. But there is some sense of achievement to be celebrated and its too early in the week for Champagne. Champagne gets opened on the 12th of June at 11am.

I do have to say i am slightly more impressed with my second (external) assignment effort for 142. Namely because i wasn’t feeling largely nauseated when i submitted it. However, now it’s time to put the blinkers on to help me try to concentrate on finishing the work and studying. But how can one study with so much distraction? All the ‘quality’ t.v that is on at the moment has actually intrigued me. I, like the other 500,000 idiots, tuned into the first night of big brother 08 and i would like to comment: “Different Show: I Don’t Think So” (Shakes head like peroxide jackie and Kyle ’sold out’ Sandilands). I’m wondering if the executives for BB get together in a conference room and say “ok, lets see if we can get the most annoying group of people yet”. The they proceed to stuff it with the visually annoying (blonde haired waif), Physically annoying (you feel an overwhelming desire to slap that Corey kids face off) and of course they abuse your ears with that voice that reminds me of homer simpson pretending to be marge. And if that isn’t enough, the insult all intelligent people by sticking in a law student who has the communication skills of a gnat and an 18 yr old top heavy fembot who think that because she wears glasses and reads she’s intelligent. Pfft…

So fascinating t.v aside, I have to try to regroup and prepare for the 2 big days in June. For now, im going to practice on my glass lifting skills at the local watering hole.
