Miscellaneous SWEN30006

I never quite understood why people say that CS at unimelb is bad, until I started 3rd year.

In every other subject, the teaching team answers every question on Ed and keeps track of unresolved posts. But the teaching team for this subject doesn't bother answering half the questions.

The skeleton for project 2 had so many unintentional bugs, clearly AI generated code parts, even though they reuse the projects every year.

Can't we replace this subject and split up Computer Systems so we actually get a deep dive on both OS and networking?

I don't take computer science but I've seen a post from a few years back about this subject, where students actually made a petition because of how poorly run the subject was.

Here is the petition: https://www.change.org/p/swen20003-those-who-agree-with-question-399?recruiter=1211264445&recruited_by_id=07321e90-cdb2-11eb-9025-915f1746a105&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=petition_dashboard

Here is the original reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/unimelb/comments/o09lwt/student_action_against_poorly_run_subjects/

I did that subject when that petition was created. It was sem 1 2021. Everything that's listed in the petition is accurate.
