Title: I may not be graduating this year after all...
Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, May 8, 2006, 15:25:44
Due to the bloody lecturers striking which I think is bloody disgraceful. That's like paying for something that will get delivered a year later  :roll:

Is this affecting any other people? Here's the story on the beeb:

Probally not. The bastards aren't recruiting at the moment.

We're losing another 2 rounds in our small delivery office 'to save money'.

What they don't realise is, they won't save any money because the rounds will be too large. Taking on extra from the rounds they get rid off will lead to us going over time everyday or bringing mail back undelivered.

i'm trying to get a coursework remarked and its fucking annoying because nobody wants to do any extra work. so i'm going to see the chinese bloke who marked it because he blatantly can't understand what i was trying to say in the essay. he's a prick though so i'm not hoping for much.

What coursework is it OF?

marketing.

i put at the start "....to investigate the prevelance of mass marketing"

the cunt underlined prevelance and put "do you mean relevance?" NO I FUCKING DON'T. If you can't understand English properly, at least don't try and make out that I can't.

I ended a paragraph with some stuff about Henry Ford and the Model T, and began the next one with "Henry Ford...." then talked about mass production (which Ford used). He's put "LINK?" between the two paragraphs. Doesn't make any sense to me.

Yep, i have one lecturer who hasnt submitted exam questions yet for an exam im supposed to have in 2.5 weeks.  Hes been pretty cool about it though as he said the uni would probably recycle previous years exam questions.  He then gave us worked solutions to the previous 3 years exams.  :beers:

i wish they told me my exam questions before i sat it, i like that as it tests your ability to learn rather than just memorise stuff.

:D  I thought exams were to 'test your knowledge' but there you go.

They get paid around £27k for lecturing which isn't bad considering the amount of work some of them do. If they do research and extra stuff they get paid more.
