- There are always good lecturers and bad lecturers. And this is not
- unique to NUS. Also I thought NUS have a year-end evaluation, where
- each student fills in a questionaire on each lecturer/subject. That's
- where you provide feedback (or vote :) if you prefer). And believe me
- these feedbacks work, that is if a significant proportion of students
- provide consistent feedback (positive or negative).
