Why Does this QMUL not Care about the students (medicine)

•

Student from higher years have to TEACH the lower years modules for exams, this is on the timetable, upper year students must teach the lower years for their exam, this results in missing information, disadvantaging younger years. Also, if you are paying a ton per year, why are you being taught by an underqualified, power tripping student? Some of them are literal walking garbage in how they treat the students, yet they're supposed to be doctors? It's atrocious.

•

Some lecture content is extremely vague, or even incorrect but the exams require a depth of knowledge not given in lecture content (think going to a physics class and being told the sky is blue, moving on. Then in your exam they ask you about what effects refraction and wavelength in the atmosphere to make the sky blue). To make up for this, students are encouraged to pay an extra premium for extra classes and societies built on providing key information for exams. In my mind, this is predatory and does not help equality between hard working underprivileged people and the giga rich who splunk 5K in one week on drinks.

The exams are usually 40% taught content and 60% UNTAUGHT CONTENT. Why? The uni does not give any info on what topics to study, just throws a mountain at the students and says "Learn it all" and when students say theres too much to learn in too little time they're told "you should be able to learn the information the moment its given to you". In my mind the exams are genuinely unfair, if everyone is drowning under your tuition, you need to change your teaching, not leave the kids to drown. Also, how are you supposed to study for UNTAUGHT content, the info is not given to you, nor is it ever hinted at, you just have more than half your exam as alien questions you physically cannot prepair for, yet you can still get kicked off the course for doing badly in the untaught?

•

On top of this, the Y1 are doing placements? I have issues with PA (another topic), but a Y1 should not be doing placements, it should begin at Y3, but I'm not too concerned about this point.

My final problem is the student self segregation. All these privileged twits have decided that if you have a degree prior to starting, no matter if it is in art or science, you have an unfair advantage and will therefore refuse to help you. However, they expect you to help them. The hypocrisy is unbelievable and if any of you are reading this, if you have a problem with someone, grow a pair and talk to them directly, don't just jump up straight to the top management and try to get them fired over letting you go home early.
