Two of the three tutors were published science fiction authors. I had one of them (the nice one who was also a non-crap writer haha) twice, so it was mostly nice. One of the units was even split into two streams -- autobiographical and spec fic. :D
The third one though, she was just so infuriating because she'd spent all that time saying she luuuurved genre fiction, read soooo much of it, and welcomed and encouraged people to write genre... And then when given a genre piece went "I don't do genre so I can't comment on this". Because characterisation and flow and stuff are done COMPLETELY differently in fantasy, right?
