Curious, on the word usage.

In section 2, you wrote,

“Have you tried asking the <lecturer> if you can get <marked> just for your section? Or if that person can be removed from the group?”

In my mind, I swapped those 2 words- Lecturer and Marked with Professor and Graded



Academic titles and usage obviously differ between countries. The lax usage of "professor" is pretty unique to the US, so I don't understand why you would presume that.


Author is probably Australian, I would use the same words.

Just checked linkedIn, yep they are from NSW.


My hunch on the author not from the west checks out.
