Just check my result for last semester. Overally it's good but the thing is my CGPA pulled down slightly because of the subject Game Foundation. I got a B from that, and I really dissapointed with this. I personally think I don't deserve this result with the work I submitted as the final project. What is this all about?
Game Foundation is a subject EXPECTED to be teaching the game basic knowledge, game design basic, game industry and game production. Teach all basic concept to fellow new game design students. Agree? So... What actually MMU's Game Foundation NEW GAME IDIOT lecturer teach then... At the very first day, the very first thing she told to us (a bunch of full passion, freak gamer and game developing dreamer) is, she not interest in game, she force to teach us by the university. Anyone see any problem here? The University offer the course, give out a subject named Game Foundation and elect a lecturer who don't know what actually is game and don't like game to teach? Who made that stupid decision? I think is someone never read some book, or some wire in the brain was short circuited will only do that....but wait...who can made that decision, someone got a Title as DEAD....sorry...is DEAN. *pssst pssst* "hey....this Malaysia's education...."
What can we do? Just suit yourself... So we carry on our class of game foundation. The class is pathetic, what we were doing is, go into class, fill some question, past it up and start talking crap with the lecturer. She start asking like, what is RPG? how to? why? wait...the she is refering to the lecturer, and lecturer means the people who suppose to tell answer, not ask question. Ok, after 3 classes of craps, she cannot stand it, and so do we, then suddenly at the 4th class, she gave us everyone a piece of paper with half page of text (in point form). That paper consist a question "Discuss 10 Genres with game example". This is the MARK for Game Foundation. YaY, cool? Idiot! Then she announce that this is the last lecture for this subject. No more lecture for the rest of semester. cool? Super Idiot!
Okay, I knew useless to keep complaining and talking bad thing about people. Lets see what I did for the report. I aimed a High grade for this subject so I put a lot of effort in doing this report. It is 100% coursework, c'mon! So i did these, some example of my pages from the report and I got 73 pages of this. I did this report for 5 days like that.
I compiled all these pages as PDF files. Burned to CD and submitted to her. At the day I submitting, Zaki and Azwan were trying to pull some mark, they asked for extended dead line and they will print the whole report out. She allowed. What i thought? WHAT?! extended with no penalty?! Then where is my effort to rush this report while at the same time I have another 3 assignments. This nevermind, I tried my best. But she meant that if we print the whole report out, we MAY BE score a higher mark. Why?? To print this report out, I need RM50 at least. She asking me to BUY mark anyway? And i got a B now.
Well....Frankly, I dont think i made a good report for this. Some people may be already flaming me that I did those rubbish and crying that I don't get an "A". Sorry but this really my Most Beutiful and Creative thing i ever made in my life. I put 100% confident in this, thats why I'd pissed off by the B. I not actually complaining I got a "B", but my anger grow when i figure out this subject pull my CGPA down. Others I wont say a word. Just because this subject's assignment is stupid and lecture is idiot! Thats why i am yelling here!
Picture of all?
We paid RM1k++ to attend this subject. End up? A lecturer who don't know a thing of game development. An idiot assignment which just 20% related to determine the mark for 100%. No Lecture, we learn nothing, really, nothing beside the fact that MMU eat the money and put us aside with pathetic assignment and lecture. Anger, frustration, confusion, dissaipointment for game education.
Go to MMU website are see, what they promised and what we can expected from Software Engineering and Game Design course. So we end up paying huge fee to learn bad emotion and sad fact of education. Who coordinate the course? Who promised everyone that they will put their effort in educating student, planing the best for students? People who got few K of salary, driving nice car, live in nice home and sleeping in the office? People who try so hard to figure out new way to trick new student to their university to pay the school fee? People who just care about the name and title? People doing dirty trick to hold their position and kill other's right?
Don't those people who having the power but not doing they job afraid some little kid go in front and ask "Uncle, why someone like you can have that position?" "Uncle, issint your job is to take care of us, why I just saw you trying to kill us off?" "Uncle, what you promised us?" "Uncle, why i am suffering while you still got pay?"
To all my fellow Coursemates, to all my fellow University mate, to all my Country mates. We're living in what? I knew its small case to imply to a large picture like this, but, how many people who actually facing the same situation and agree with me? how many people actually study happy ever after and disagree with me? Lets guess the ratio. Here my words.
Today feeling... forget it...
