I had no idea that we were the first out of country university over there, but that might help to explain some of the issues. Whenever you are the first to do something, its hard to hit every detail, even if you have a solid structure in other areas. It seems like some of the critiques are a bit more acceptable, while others seem like the ball was just dropped. Sad.
Its upsetting to me that there are mixed views of the teaching here at the main campus, but generally excellent comments about the teaching at the Australian campus. Shouldn't we be excelling at the main campus before we decide to branch off to other countries?
how come we rarely hear about our other campuses? sure, we all know about the qatar campus, and some people know about the west-coast one, but adelaide and the new one in portugal are hardly ever mentioned.
seems like they're following the same unfortunate tradition of lack of integration between departments here
The list of actual complaints here seem serious, but not scandalous. Certainly school get away with much worse here and keep accreditation. From outside, it seems good that Australia keeps a closer eye on regulating schools it endorses, but I'd be interested to hear what the residents feel about the issue. Have there been a lot of problems with corrupt of ineffective universities? Does the government seem too involved in how or what the schools teach? Does anybody living at the Australian campus read this blog? Interesting issue.
