The level of student course criticism?
The level of student course criticism?
Dear Roger,
Student behaviour in the campus hat gone from bad to worse. I refer to an incident on July 26 during the Com Law lecture in Lecture Theatre E006 between 2—3pm. Not satisfied with throwing paper aeroplanes, several students threw "rings" made from computer cards at the lecturer Mr Hercus. Many clapped when he "ducked". One student even went to the extent of throwing an empty fruit juice can at Mr Hercus. It would have caused him physical injury had it hit him. Also many students who left the lecture theatre during the lecture did so noisily thus disturbing those who stayed. Mr Hercus is good natured in the sense that he did not lose his temper even once during this "barrage" and "commotion" and indeed it is sickening to see "high spirited" students taking advantage of this. To those "high spirited" students — If you don't respect Mr Hercus as a lecturer, at least respect him as an old man!
