13 Education Now SMH, Tuesday, July 16, 1991 for lect ouaiiets urer Overcrowding, funding cutbacks and burnt-out academics characterise modern university life, say students4. Stephen mcdonell and shoshana lenthen examine the results of last week's Education Now phone-in. sx iJlilfri'' tune of about $25,000 per student per annum should be asking themselves whether they were getting value for money, Shane said. Sydney University students' big gripe was overcrowding, a problem not apparently shared by David Elliott, a third-year BA student rather defensive of the University of Western Sydney. "I'm not sympathetic to those going to Sydney University where it is overcrowded.

I've got a course next semester with three in it. We've got plenty of room, I've never had an overcrowded class in my life. "I put it down to the old-tie system. The sooner the University of Western Sydney is given the credit it deserves, the sooner there will be a better distribution of students." Pam Johnston, who is working towards a Doctorate in Creative Arts at Wollongong University, said there were not enough fellowships for post-graduate research. "My basic thesis cost $8,000 and I had to find it myself, as well as try to survive and support children.

I have no idea what my doctorate will cost. You're adding knowledge, for the betterment of mankind, but the universities can't offer you financial backing. "I have found my supervisors to be fabulous but very tired and very stretched Pam complained of the "incredible academic emphasis" on the sciences, an approach which emphasised dollars and cents, leaving no room for knowledge for its own sake. Brian Phillips, a sixth-year (external) Bachelor of Legal Studies student at Macquarie University, said he liked his course's holistic approach to law. But external students had insufficient face-to-face contact with academics.

"I at Sydney University, said: "On the I have had tutors and lecturers who have been really interesting. "The tutorial groups are too big and so they are run on a lecture-style basis But even though lecturers are under stress, they keep in mind that they are there to help the students. "The services for students at Sydney Uni are excellent and all the clubs you can join are good; it makes uni!" Another Sydney University arts student, Maureen McKenzie, had "nothing but praise for the Lecturers went out of their way to make personal contact with students, she said. And Graciela Black, a first-year Bachelor of Arts student at Macquarie University, said: "The professors are very good. I like them because they are very demanding and they make us work quite hard and they transmit their love of the course to us." While their positive views were echoed by several others, Shane Brun, a third-year medical student at Sydney University, was not so gentle.

Acknowledging that academics were under great strain manifest particularly at exam time, with one person marking hundreds of papers Shane was still highly critical of the teaching skills of some of his lecturers. "Many academics see education as a necessary evil, rather than a prime responsibility," he said. "This is reflected in the way they teach. Most are totally unaware of basic educational skills, like how to use a board or projector or explain a concept. "Students have complained after class that the standard of teaching was so poor that they don't feel it's worth their while to attend." Taxpayers, who were subsidising the education of medical students to the only see an academic once a for a weekend residential school," Brian said.

"My degree has been: virtually a self-taught degree, with veryi little input from academics. "The long-term eflect of this is that the law firms will not employ us; they don't understand the difficult conditions that part-time students endure. "The solution is simple: the Federal Government has got to give the universities more funding to employ more staff." Craig Small, in his second year of Electrical Engineering at the University of Technology, Sydney, said it was difficult to find somewhere quiet to sit down and study. "The library is not satisfactory. It's too small; it's only so-so compared to Sydney Uni library.

Study areas are very small. "The faculty is quite user-helpful and the course itself allows for changes to take place to make it more relevant." Lindsay Went, in his third year of Arts at Sydney University, said the staff of the two departments he had been involved with History and Government had generally been prepared to listen to students' views. The History department had reacted with speed to recent changes in Eastern Europe. Lindsay complained about cutbacks in tutorials and over-sized courses which reduced the time lecturers could give individuals. For this he blamed the Hawke Government, during whose terms education funding per student had fallen significantly.

Cuts had affected the Fisher Library too, he said. In the light of this, it had been "very annoying" to learn that the university had paid several million dollars for a new vice-chancellor's residence after selling the old one. Other Sydney students were bitter about this, saying the money could have been put to better use. THE advice industry in higher education is growing. This month alone has seen the publication of two books for prospective students the Independent Monthls Good Universities Guide and, today, the Financial Review's Universities in Australia, both earnest attempts to decipher the higher education maze for prospective students.

In an increasingly complicated tertiary system, university applicants are obviously looking for guidance to try to find their way through the minefield of criticism to that perfect course. Comments made in last week's Education Now phone-in we asked students to tell us about their courses were surprising in that students did not, on the whole, want to have a go at their teachers. Frequently callers to phone-ins, as with writers to the Herald letters page, have chips on their shoulders. But these students were remarkably sympathetic towards their lecturers. The image of the stuffy academic floundering hopelessly in front of the class was dispelled, with several students praising their lecturers' valiant attempts to impart knowledge in the face of an increasingly rundown higher education system.

Kim Palmer, a first-year arts student A 'How to' on choosing a high school AT THE end of the year, The Sydney Morning Herald and Addendum Publishing will produce a comprehensive consumer guide to all secondary schools in NSW. The book, edited by the Herald's education writers, Anne Susskind and Paola Totaro, aims to provide parents with detailed information, tips and step-by-step advice on choosing a high school for their child. Public, independent and Catholic schools will be listed, together with curriculum choice, specialist programs, sporting activities and comments from school principals. A chapter designed to guide parents in choosing the right school for their child has been written by Professor Sam Ball, who until recently was Professor of Education at the University of Sydney. Almost 700 questionnaires which will form the basis of listings and entries have been mailed to NSW high schools.

So far, more than half have responded enthusiastically. The survey was designed to glean as much consumer information on schools as possible. The Herald and the book's authors have no plans to compare or judge schools, merely to provide parents with the information necessary to make a considered choice. There is no doubt that during the past three years, the State Government's changes to the public schooling system have created new opportunities and new doubts for parents. The book aims to explain these reforms in detail and give parents guidance on how curriculum changes have affected subject choice in all three schooling systems.

Principals have been asked to answer the survey as comprehensively as possible. If there are some questions they do not believe are relevant to their schools, or feel are invasive, they are free to leave them out; or conversely, to add information as they so choose. The survey has the full support of the Minister for Education, Mrs Chad-wick, and the Director-General, Dr Fenton Sharpe. Catholic authorities and the Association of Independent Schools have also been kept up-to-date on the book's progress. For principals who have not yet done so, there is still time to respond.

The deadline has been extended to the end of July, and principals with queries can ring 361 5244. Arts student Kim Palmer "even though lecturers are under stress, they keep in mind that they are there to help the VER the years, parents, teachers and students have complained to me about offensive and indecent novels in use Books which offend: Fred Nile puts his case The Rev fred nile, tired of being called names over his attempts to rid our schools of books he considers indecent, explains his crusade. build a better world by reducing and wherever possible eliminating hate and violence, fear and exploitation, cruelty and torture, drug and alcohol abuse, physical and sexual abuse, perversion and degradation. Students are already being overwhelmed by these themes in films, videos, magazines and the likes. Media classes can help students reject these negative As the Apostle Paul said: "Adapt yourselves no longer to the pattern of this present world, but let your minds be re-made and your whole nature transformed.

Then you will be able to discern the will of God, and to know what is good, acceptable and perfect." (Romans, in our schools. The Festival of Light has received numerous complaints about the novel Equus and the fact that students of under 18 were made to view the R-rated movie version, an action which was illegal. They objected to its anti-Christian message and its violence in the blinding of horses, etc. Many parents complained about Peter Kocan's The Treatment and The Cure, mainly because of its indecent language and perversions such as little Kocan has written to me apologising for the book's use in schools, saying it was intended for adult readers, not school students. David Williamson's plays, Don's Party and The Removalist have drawn complaints from female students too embarrassed to read excerpts aloud in class.

I am very annoyed that when I bring these complaints to the attention of Parliament, I am greeted with ridicule by ALP members. False screaming accusations are made such as "Hitler!" "Mussolini!" "The the text and analyse its themes. Those who object are sent to the library and receive no coaching and will probably fail their HSC. I object to the professor of English who selects these offensive novels and claims his role is to "remove the cottonwool from around the students' Another selector says their purpose is to "introduce students to the human In selecting novels, care must be taken so that no more social or emotional pressure is placed on some students already finding it difficult to cope and contemplating suicide. Therefore novels that are depressing or which present suicide as a way out should be avoided.

The selection of English novels should obviously include the world's finest English classics, providing inspiration, challenge, positive role models, heroes, hope for the future, motivation to go out and build a better world. To Most Dangerous Man in the World!" or "Trust Fred Nile to read all the dirty books!" I do not normally read these "dirty" books, but act on complaints from reliable witnesses parents, teachers and others. My objection concerning them is their inclusion in the official Government Reading Lists for examinations in State, Catholic and Christian schools.
