The new speed option aims to stop the sudden surge of hyperpop lecture inspired soundcloud remixes and encourage engagement.
The university’s pilot program comes as the 2x lecture speed epidemic has been a recurring concern for both students and lecturers.
Some people like Law/Arts student Caroline Smith - who definitely chose her degree for her mathematical capabilities - defend the 2x speed option saying, "It’s basic maths, you’re cutting the time in half”
However, the super speed option has led to more major consequences, namely the sudden surge of hyperpop artists.
"They keep making shitty soundcloud mixes of my lectures," complains a disgruntled source who remains anonymous to protect his end-of-semester student feedback, which he is confident will actually be filled out this time.
But tensions are rising, "Now they're making crazy tiktok edits of my lectures".
Since the new speed introduction, 'pro-Nightcore' petitions seem to be circulating on campus, and a great divide now plagues UQ - mostly between the gaming society and everyone else.
UQ says they are currently in the process of making a ‘warm & dulcet tone’ speed option to help conquer any further Nightcore lecture remixes.
