Brilliance, a mistake, or is my lecturer messing with me?

[EmperorAllspice]

I handed in a research paper which contained next to no evidence of actual research, which was below the minimum word count and I got a B. I'm in the top ranking uni in Wales btw.

 

I am honestly astounded. Can anyone hazard a guess as to how this happened?

[Netbattler11]

Teacher likes you personally, teacher was sleepy, teacher just doesn't care.

[EmperorAllspice]

I could buy the first 2. Probably the 2nd one if anything. I'm not all that likeable XD

[Elan Sedai]

do you usually do that? if not, the teacher probably just assumed you did the proper research

[Ithillian Turambar]

You're at Cardiff University?

[EmperorAllspice]

No, he clearly noted that I didn't do the research. and I got a really low mark for that segment of the assessmant. I got two As and a B for the other parts of the assesment.

 

and no, I'm at the University of Wales, Newport. It's one of the higher ranking ones, I know that. All the best students I knew were clamouring to get into it

[Ithillian Turambar]

Ah yes ... It is like a collegeate system there. So Cardiff would be The University of Wales - Cardiff.

 

I got bumped up from a 2.2 to a 2.1 thanks to a dissertation I finished at 8am on the morning I was due to hand it in - and in fact - had to hitch a ride on the Office Supplies van to even get it to uni on time.

 

Sometimes things just work out - it's best not to think too hard about it :)

[LedZepMan]

I didn't go to college. They said i was too smart to go

[dapianoplay3r]

Did they also tell you that the fountains flow with alcohol and F is thr best grade?

[Ithillian Turambar]

I only went to Uni cos I didn't want to get a job.

[dapianoplay3r]

Ive just quit my jobs to go to uni lol

[Ithillian Turambar]

[dapianoplay3r]

Ive always been drinking

[ruairidh7]

That great feeling when you wing it and it comes off perfectly.

 

You must be a seriously decent writer. Good writing covers up all manner of flaws

[LedZepMan]

I didnt have a choice. It was get a job or starve to death

[dapianoplay3r]

In NZ we have a good welfare system (too good. You can stay on it for years) and student loans are interest free

 

in america dont you get student loans or anythinf?

[LedZepMan]

Yeah, but you gotta pay that crap back with interest

[dapianoplay3r]

Ahh. Ours are interest free as long as we stay in NZ

[LedZepMan]

And our welfare system is teerible

[dapianoplay3r]

Atleast yours provides incentives to get a job. Ours has so many bludgers

[LedZepMan]

When you say bludgers i think of the weasley twins

[dapianoplay3r]

Haha i wish. These are genrally very lazy people that expect to be looked after

[LedZepMan]

Ahhh. Deadbeats

[dapianoplay3r]

Yea. Its not fair. Now NZ charities are askinbg for money to help those peoples kids because they just spend the money on booze and drugs. Atleast give them food stamps so they cant not spent it on food

[LedZepMan]

I agree. Thats bull
