NUS is definitely not a transparent place. Take for example, recently all the staff in NUS got to know that there will be no increments and little promotion due to budget constraints.

But what turns out is the new NUS president changed his car. A new black Mercedes Benz.

Got budget for new car no budget to reward staff ah!

Please check this out.

That being said, i don’t think we should assume all lecturers who are given bad feedback will mark you down, because in my case, that didn’t happen. I just wanted to point out how I felt the system wasn’t anonymous and it’s this lack of anonymity purportedly assured that is making me compromise what I write it.

haha omg so sorry didn’t get back to your questionaire! BUT…I do think the system is NOT anonmyous. I left a feedback for a certain lecturer in my first sem…I just felt sometimes he would murmur during lecture, tt’s all. Next sem, I took his small style seminar class and during the first-few lessons, he actually said,

“Somebody left a feedback for me last semester, saying that I murmur, you guys think that’s true?”

THEN HE LOOKS AT ME EXPLICITLY.

I know it’s a standalone case but the way my lecturer looked at me then made me really believe tthat it’s NOT anonmyous, and I actually think they can access ALL feedback received through each sem and even search for what CURRENT students in their class may have said about them. It’s a lesson…I don’t really give “negative” feedback anymore.

secondly, i believe if you do your work well and be able to give nearly impeccable answers, most likely your prefessor cant mark you down no matter what.
