ACCY 204
A potentially useful and interesting course completely destroyed by a total lack of interest in, or appreciation of, students' concerns. The first Terms Test was dominated by the output of a mathematics machine which could cover acres of blackboard with complicated formulae before you could say "Beta!". Thus we all scored poorly. The second Terms Test reflected a more practical segment and everyone did much better - or at least we think we did. What happened? After at least 2 (rumoured) attempts to meddle with the exam papers the bloody Accy Dept security was still so slack-that some obnoxious prick was able to flog half the scripts! Prof. Winiata didn't really give a stuff. After all, the bloody sweat and tears we'd put into trying to improve our grades he just calmly informed us that the test would be ignored and even those whose papers weren't stolen wouldn't get them back. Winiata's blase attitude and lack of recognition of the impact of all this on our morale is the biggest kick in the guts I've had since I started passing courses.
