Go Niamh!! Whoo!
I'm well chuffed! :D I'm gonna have to redo my Cezanne part but i knew that when submitting it! :D
What course is that for, Niamh?
my AA100 Arts Past and Present level 1 course with the OU. :)
I got SCREWED OVER on a midterm today :(
oh no! :( ((((hug))))
Congratulations, Niamh!
Commiserations, Classic Charm - is there any way you can appeal or ask for a re-assessment?
I stayed up with a long translation till 3 am - waking up early to get to the class where we were supposed to hand it to the teacher after just 2.5 hours of sleep didn't result in one of my greatest mornings...
I hate group assignments. I don't like the pressure of other people relying on me, and I REALLY don't like having to rely on other people :(

It's just frustrating when you do well in the lab and you know your stuff until you're asked a question way out of the league of the course. :(Quote:

After all, sleeping is the vagabond's expertise :lol:Quote:

Or mention it to the fair professor and hint he might like to have a word with his collegue on the subject of fairness and even-handed nature of tests? Exams are supposed to test what you know, not what you don't know, after all. That kind of test is a different kind of animal and comes before you start on a course so the teacher knows where to start teaching you, not at the end - not much good him/her knowing that too late, is it?
And throw away hard work of two and a half years at the university and 12 years of schooling before that? I don't think so :D I should have made the decision years ago :lol: I must admit a life without obligations and deadlines sounds tempting. I doubt, however, that I'd be able to survive that long without regular income. I like having enough food and a roof upon my head :DQuote:

Tomorrow I have to do some Russian homework and write a formal letter in Swedish, but all in all I feel like I'm getting on with my homework load much better now than during the past couple of weeks.
