Unfortunately, not what I expected when I arrived here. I came to SFU engineering to get an education and learn something. Reality was that I got into a system where whomever had the answers got the best mark or passed at least. My courses were good at the beginning and engaging but as I got into my final years, professors stopped caring about whether I understand or not. They provided material, non-charismatically talked and went on about testing you with irrelevant material which you answered not by understanding but rather memorization and pattern recognition. There were a few good professors. They were even some promising young PHDs who were sessional lecturers. Guess where they ended up working at? UBC. I don't want to mention names but we lost a top lecturer recently. He LEFT THE COUNTRY? Yup. Sorry SFU, it seems like you're not listening to your students or your young promising staff. Get the students involved. Get feedback.
