Background story: i'm an international student in Australia and i do bachelors of Business in IS, and I decided to take summer school to fasten up the process of getting rid of this shit. To make it easier, the story happens at only one subject (Project Quality and Management, or PQM) and sadly i'm the one that does not let shit slide without say something. Also, the lEcTuReR i'll be calling "R".

Dear oh dear, I do regret this term. OMFG.

the unit itself has been poorly managed, as miscommunication from the first lecturer telling us that we wouldn't have midterms and leaving the institute on the fourth week, a third on the term. The following lecturer that assume greet us with a beautiful "I don't know anything about this subject" and my first reaction was saying "then why are you here?".

Personally speaking I don't like this guy, yet I wish it was only me not liking him. but we have several problems:

* We had a major project coming up that we were meant to start at week 3. No information were given up until week 9, even though every class I was pretty much demanding info about it, in front of all students;
* R couldn't bother to do much but read the slides whilst sit on his chair, with the arms crossed. But we all knew he came from  UOW (a prestigious university in NSW) as he loved to brag about it;
* Students were deliberately coming late, or skipping classes, simply because we could read the slides ourselves. Mind you, Gov't will be on our asses and revoking our visas if we skip too many classes;
* He was not even reading his own material, as we found material from other subject on his subfolder. Yes, we were meant to submit that for grades;
* He was pretty much refusing using email to keep contact with students. 
* When questioned about the subject, answers were "I don't know", "\*insert 40 slides that don't answer the question\*" or "help yourselves";

Multiple times I took this to the Academic Dean, informally, and enough was said that even a third of the students were to complain about him. With my emotions I happened to respond one of his emails (out of 3 he sent) and all my complaints kinda were not considered anymore as they deemed I was being too emotional, with the Dean herself saying so. When I questioned her about the choice of him being in the position, her answer was "sadly we hadn't have a choice, but you should give him a chance, he sure feel leftover by you guys, specially by you".

Big project came in, with virtually no help me and my teammate did the work just to receive an "excellent idea but not what I wanted". And he didn't allowed us to see other presentations yet everyone saw ours, simply because we didn't submit before presenting. Note: there is no policy saying we have to submit before presenting, but we do have the right to fix before submitting. And he forced almost everyone to submit their work.

&amp;#x200B;

Even with my blood boilling, I asked nicely for the feedback that, between "you can't answer simple questions", learn how to do a presentation" and "I won't tell you", his final answer were "feel free to take to the Dean", even when I mentioned his unethical move. Needless to say, my teammate is fuming, yet we will submit the project as ask the Dean for the feedback on tuesday, four days after the submission.

Given all that, AITA to follow with formal complaints?

tl;dr: student can't cope with lazy lecturer, lecturer is petty.
