David Tune of Boambee, NSW, was reminded of a particularly clever pair of IT Diploma
students who handed in a joint research assignment, complete with the required signed
statement that it was all their original work.
Tune recalls: "Upon reading the work for grading, I was incredibly impressed to find
three pages of the document written in perfect technical German, particularly given
that the students in question were none too articulate when I asked 'Sprechen sie Deutsch?'
THAT'S MY LECTURE
Anyone attending an IT lecture should expect that the lecturer knows the subject.
But IT lecturers are a funny lot.
Jun Li, a programmer, recalls working in IT support at a school.
"I was told to set up a projector in one of the meeting rooms for school staff,
as there was a presentation. Having done that, I hooked the presentation laptop
to the network and tried to help one of the speakers from the IT faculty update
the laptop to IE7. I logged off and asked her to log on with her account to try
IE7.
TUTORING THE TUTOR
Neil Meyers, library assistant from Gilles Plains in SA, recalls an incident
with a part-time computer lecturer a couple of years ago.
"I work in a vocational education library, and, on night shift, library staff are
the default computer technicians/troubleshooters. One night, this part-time
lecturer came to the counter, stating that she'd managed to get a CD-ROM disc
stuck in the drive. She also said she felt a bit foolish, because she was
instructing a class in basic computing and was unable to solve the problem in
front of a room full of students.
SECTION 3
Before I was able to ask out the obvious question, she piped up,
'That's the CD drive? I thought it was the other one!', pointing to an old 5.25in
floppy disc slot, which was there even though the drives themselves had long
since been decommissioned.
