The head of my course is a nasty bit of work and I don't say that just because we don't get along but I noticed with my class he picked 3 teachers pets and a few people hes ok with and treats others with varying levels of disregard.
I was speaking to people in other classes and years (I am only doing ND I even asked people doing degrees in same field) the verdict was very clear, if I mentioed one lecturer was bad they would say "is that X" and I would confirm and they would tell me the same things I already know, he picks a people who he treats like can do no wrong and treats the rest of the class badly.
Hes also a racist, I am Scottish and theres a few other Scots on the course and he says nasty things about Scotland, the education system, calling all Scots lazy etc he also doesn't like people from poor backgrounds again calling them lazy (maybe as I found out is because hes a self made millionaire!)
To get back to me again and what others have said the same stories the ones he dislikes he gives bad grades to no matter how much work you do or good grades you get from other lecturers.
I had 1000 words to write and design 5 posters for a mock advertising campaign, I spent at least a day on each picture (as in wake up 8am, and bar a few breaks was still doing them around 9pm at night) when I handed them in I was confident I would get a good grade.
He gave me 42% (needed 40 to pass) and comments were that "it is obvious that no thought or effort was put into the work and it was done a hour before it was due in"
A few weeks later we did a group presentation where we get marked as a group, despite me being the main person in the group (so did the most work) I was given the same mark as before 42% whilst the rest of the group got 96% and told it was excellent (lecturer claimed I did nothing and let them do all the work)
Other things are mad like we had messages on notice board about local tv station wanting people for audience and may even be asked questions on the show and I mentioned that I did some part time work in a tv station the previous year (its a Media course) as well as radio work and only lived 20 minutes walk from the station and he refused to let me sign up for it yet let people who lived 20 miles away go to it(his teachers pets to be precise and no one else from the course)
And just after Christmas had a bad chest infection where I couldn't leave the house for 2 weeks, doctor had to even come to my house and I was given a sick note and even told though the infection had passed to not go back to college for another 2 weeks as I was still fragile and can make myself worse.
When I handed it in to admin the next day he called me in and accused me of forging a doctors note! then told me he had witnessed me working in local supermarket and despite me denying this (actually I am desperate for work as only have £10 a week after rent paid to cover expenses and food) he told me I was lying even more.
And just recently now my grandfather died and my doctor prescribed me some medication for stress and I was honest with the lecturer to be outright told to grow up and again accused of lying.
How can someone like that not only be employed but head of section!
Sorry little vent but also wanted to know what to do?
