To anyone who has ever been a student:
Dear University of Pretoria
I sometimes find it difficult to comprehend just the mixture of feelings I have for you, sometimes admiration..Sometimes surprise and even admittedly jealousy of some of your employees.
I admire the way that despite a lot of peoples best efforts I manage to still have no semester mark for an exam I write on Monday(Yes, this coming Monday, as in 6 days from our current date).
I am surprised at your ability to be the only university in the world whose employees by their own admittance refuse to respond to academic emails, despite an academic email account being created specifically for this purpose. I rather enjoy the fact that many a lecturer admits Clickup(new or old) is a total troll-up yet insist we use it, or equally funny, refuses to use it at all.
I also must honestly admit I wish to join your ranks of incompetent basterds who seem to piggy back on the very few who actually do care to see students pass and would find it terribly entertaining to join the ranks of assholes who seem to do nothing but play the blame game the last week before exams.
Sincerely yours, despite your best efforts.
2nd year
PS. I would like to compliment you on your Informatics department who did a stunning job of making your site incomprehensible.

Oops. They ended up fiddling with the marks. Of course I was one of the class representatives and the head of the department called us both in (the other one didn't pitch) and the first thing he said was "You can't say she is a bad lecturer" and I was
Of course, university lectures don't like giving classes as it interferes with their "research". Umm, hate to break to you, but outside of the physical sciences most of the research done contributes less than actually giving a damn about your teaching responsibilities.
