Mega Thread The Random Thoughts Thread Part 1

Geez, I must have struck it lucky at UniSA (20 years now) doing Engineering. Handful of times in a group with non-native English speakers they were understandable and tried. Might have been all the maths for the subjects made it harder to claim 'language' issues. We all just hated that regardless of race.

I had a mixed bag in my Masters at UniSA (completed last year) some overseas students were really lazy, uncommitted and entitled. Others were fantastic, dedicated students who taught me how our learning material was/could be applied back home, as well as an appreciation for what we have here. Humans unfortunately are a diverse bunch, full of both twats and legends; everyone's experience can differ. Overall I really enjoyed working with people from diverse cultures, it helped contextualise everything.

I forgot to mention the two sexy South American and Hungarian girls in many of my classes - they may also bias my opinion.

I'm another fortunate one with my UniSA post grad studies. My one group assignment, in IT Project Management, resulted in an HD. My fellow group partner was a Chinese national and he was very intelligent and extremely hard working.

Using ellipses this often is surely a sign of literacy.

I don't blame you though, the aforementioned lack of blackboards in your day (did they even have classroom desks back in the 1830s?) probably hindered the development of your English skills.

Ok thats too harsh, they are an ok band and its not like they completely rip AM's sound.

And not really particularly similar apart from both being British rock bands in the post Libertines era.
