You Can Tell It's Telford

Missed by bus and arrived at college a little later tonight, managed to get to the library though to return a few bits and bobs, which was good.

Got to class for 6pm, and there was no tutor. We were all sitting there for about 30mins before another lecturer came to tell us that our tutor was off ill.

So that was us, sent home, no other lecturer to cover our class. We have a deadline next week for our latest project - to promote celibacy to 14-16 year olds (answers on a postcard). We're only at the initial ideas stage and we could have done with some feedback on what we have done.

It would have been nice to have been emailed/phoned to let us know that our tutor was off, rather than trekking half way across Edinburgh and back for nothing.

We're unlikely to get an extra week added on at the end of the course to make up for tonight or extra time to complete this project.

It'd be fine if it was a one off, but it has happened a number of times over the past couple of years. It's just pretty crap - may I point out that this is a course that everyone is paying for.

You wouldn't go into a shop and accept this level of service - why should it be any different with a college course, because it's Telford that's why.

They really must change their strapline - 'You Can Tell It's Telford' - It's not doing them any justice whatsoever.

Rant over.
