Professional Communication MCC246/MCC546
..is one of the three units that I've been doing this semester. I had to do this unit because it is a core unit for my course. Judging from the title of the unit, I had initially thought that it would involve a heap of oral presentations and whatnot.
Of course, this is not the case. If it was, I wouldn't be ranting here. Professional Communication, also known as MCC246 (internal)/MCC546 (external) in Murdoch University, is the one unit that I honestly detest. The unit involves role-playing in tutorials. Heck, the tutorials ARE role-plays. There is no oral presentations or essays whatsoever. There are ten weekly assignments, where you have to go online to the crappy WebCT and complete the weekly exercises by Sunday, followed by a "comment" on another's exercise every Wednesday. They expect the students to attend tutorials to role-play, and to sit in groups of 3-4 every week, just role-playing. In case you don't know what role-play is, it is defined as
"a technique in training or psychotherapy in which participants assume and act out roles so as to resolve conflicts, practice appropriate behavior for various situations, etc." SourceIf the role-plays are fun and interesting, it's alright. It's acceptable. But NO, it's utter rubbish. I remember light years ago, when I attended one of the Professional Communication tutorials, the tutor asked our group to role-play based on this topic:
You are the producers for Greenday. Discuss what actions to take when the lead singer of the band embraces Buddhism and decides to base their next album as a Buddhist based album.Would anyone just explain to me what sort of question is that? Why can't they give a non-religious based question that does not appear as dumbfuck as that question? Heck, the tutor doesn't even seem to know that the question is stupid to begin with.
And don't get me started on the tutor
If you have landed here from Google after searching for more info on this unit, welcome to my blog. I hope you will never have to waste your money on this particular unit. Good luck.

Oh, so that's the truth behind it, huh? Payperpost clearly states that members should never use profane language in their blogs. However, you seem to be able to easily get off the hook by saying 'fuck!' Or could it be that the word 'fuck' is no longer considered as profanity, but an accepted, wholesome term for use in daily conversations? Do you use that word whenever you chit chat with your family?
Let Little Raymond correct you now. It's not the word 'fuck' that I got off the hook for, but FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.
Now tell me, how can you equate both words as the same?
Notwithstanding that, IZEA boards CLEARLY (as you said) state that the use of profanity in blog posts should not be EXCESSIVE.
Unless you have dropped out of primary school and landed yourself a job as a janitor, I guess you should already know what excessive means.
Have a good day and mind your own fucking business.
