What does ''s'' mean in this case? Thank you
The lecturing input'S pretty high standard, isn't it?

And another question:

What's the meaning of 'tipped' in following sentence?
No better than I expected.., though it's probably a bit tipped in favour of the theoretical side, I'd say.

Answer

The english in the question does not seem to be correct.  I expect it should read something like.... the lecturing input's a pretty high standard.....
if I am correct then:
input's = input is.  So 's  replaces "is".  This often done in English.  When a letter or letters are omitted they are replaced by an aposthrophe (').  Examples:
is not = isn't
cannot = can't
should not = shouldn't
