well as you can tell the fun is over for a little but as i start my classes. i just want to check out how hard they will be this week and then next week maybe plan a trip somewhere. i had my first class today and the professor didnt even turn up, instead we had a history administrator give us an introduction to the course and also give out all the information that is need. well apparently for this course you dont need a text book, there is no test (which i actually like) as there is only a document analysis - a presentation and an essay (seems easy so far), the only thing i have a problem with is it seems like i have gone back to elementary school or high school as they take mandatory attendence which seems a bit harsh seeing how i payed for the class i should be able to turn up if i want to as it is my money. but what ever i plan to attend all my classes anyway.
one thing i picked up today that i will taking home with me is the idea of student power! student power is almost non-existent at kwantlen. the students dont have a say it is the students in the student union and the board of directors that have a say. that doesnt really repressent the masses. at uclan they do a bit different as the student union and the board of directors of the school and students that are elected to represent each division of studies at uclan all sit equally on a panel and discuss issues on every last detail of univerisity and student life. this gives the people that are not in the classes the insite into how the student body feels regarding the teaching, the courses, the time tables and any other issues that are prevellent to student life and in the whole - THE SUCCESS!
