Disappointed in teaching quality

Tips: Teaching quality is the worst. Get linkdin learning and learn by yourself before entering class. Also, choose your tutor wisely. Some doesn't know anything and will be the reason for you to lose marks unnecessarily. Look for grants and student support they are good at this university. Don't rely on the employability sector of the university they will give you tips but not help you get the job in any way. Finish labs before labs and go through slides before lectures the teachers are useless mostly. Campus is great but education quality and customer service are the poorest.

Likes (Safety): There was a time when I was locked out and there was no campus security to help me out. I had to call security from another campus. Otherwise, security is quite good. Fire extinguishers are everywhere and it feels much safer knowing that any time you can call and there will be someone to help you out.

Dislikes (Part time work): I applied with the employability section of federation university but haven't got any job yet. They give you suggestions and stuff but when it comes to helping to find actual jobs they have literally no idea. It's all talk but no work. They will tell you to change your resume and stuff but not help you land an actual job even though you have plenty of experience and skills.
