worst feedback, ever.

"An interesting topic to look at. i think you could have defined the 2 groups more clearly with facts and references and talked about their origins and evolution through the 70s, 80s and 90s. and relate it strongly to the clothing + music. you need a lot more fact based information which is available in cultural studies such as DVDs like - dogtown and the zboys, style wars etc. the hiphop origins were unclear and some things you said were actually wrong. what year was flashdance made? skating was banned by the government? which government in 63? the presentation was a bit random and needed much more depth of research. you touched on the relationshops and crossovers between the subcultures, but you needed much more in terms of lifestyle and music. the personality profiles were very good and engaging. more observational comments from you about the clothing + shoes would have been great. more in depth analysis of the topic would have lifted your result" - rebecca

Rebecca who is my tute of "cultural explorations in fashions" told me she really liked my presentation and that i got a good mark.... and what was that mark? a P-

so reading that review got me a bit angry, because i had a crap load of references. i've seen the documentaries she listed for me at least 10 times and plus a crap load more. but according to her that "didn't show" in the presentation. what the hell am i supposed to do? say where i got the information every time i make a statement? jeez. i had a list of references at the end.

i asked her what part of my presentation about hiphop was wrong. she referred to when i said jokingly that mr.freeze from rocksteady crew "did the moonwalk like 20 years before michael jackson". apparently from her view an "academic" view, she has to take everything i said literally, which i think is ridiculous.

my presentation was 30 minutes, which was the maximum. there was absolutely no way to fit more content in without going over time.

she initially stated that i needed to focus on the music and lifestyle, but dude, this subject is cultural explorations in "FASHION" which was why i had alot more stuff about the fashion. i can rant to you all day about lifestyle and music.




so bottom line is, all the staff at RMIT fashion department are all a bunch of freaks. i did this presentation with no criteria supplied to me or anyone else thats doing it. and then she marks me with a crappy criteria of

1. content
2. research
3. presentation


and thats it. nothing more. a mark for one of those 3.
why did she give me low marks for research? i don't know.
was there somehow not enough content in that 30 minutes? i don't know
was the powerpoint really bad quality? at least i don't think so.


thats my angry rant. thankyou
