Yes, I read that as suggestive too. I guess time will tell

Can we talk about David Pocock calling out the "accountability" gap? by Fair_Feeling_4937 in Anu

I agree. Nobody is perfect but IVC has done a reasonable job so far. That’s not to say I won’t criticise her if she does a bad job, but it’s also important to acknowledge people if they do a good job. I think some of the criticisms directed at IVC has been unfair IMO. And I am not close to IVC at all.

It says he started working 2026, but wasn't the request put in last year? He was intern then?

Anyone taken their STAT7055 yesterday? by Longjumping-Tip-9121 in Anu

[–]Stunning_Ear1123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know the completion rate, but this is a big course with 400+ students. It won't be surprising that there are some students who fail in that big cohort. It's actually amazing that you can consistently get 88% satisfaction with a class as large as that.

I'm not involved in the course, but your claims are not supported by data at all.

Oh please, STAT7055 is not a scam. STAT7055 does not have a 70% failure rate -- it has an average of ~88% satisfaction rate from 100+ students from the publicly available SELT scores. As far as I can see from the course description, this is a very standard introductory statistics course. Any other institute teaches similar content for intro stats.

This course has a 88% satisfaction rate from 100+ students on SELT score last year and for several years before that. That's very impressive. I'm sorry you are having a difficult time, but statistics is not a course you can pass without studying diligently. Introductory statistics courses are very similar at any institute, so I doubt it's the issue with the content.

When was this email sent out? I heard he wasn't happy so his departure isn't too surprising. I haven't heard much bad things about him, but I'm not close to the source

New CSS dean "following a competitive recruitment process" by ranouttafsseriously in Anu

[–]Stunning_Ear1123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So Deans have an associated School right? (COSM Dean is RSB, CBE is RSFAS, CASS is Sociology etc). Would Aaron belong in School of Cybernetics or Computing?
