Swindon doesn't exist on Google Maps, again. I'm going to report this problem to Google everyday until they fix it.

Are you a fellow pupil or the lecturer? Did you used to be someone else before König. |

i was the wholly unoriginal stfc_bath and so decided on a change... i'm a fellow pupil but it annoys me that they're moaning on about it and demanding the marks be standardised, some even want whole questions to be erased from the marking, ridiculous. I think it's because the exam required some actual thinking rather than just regurgitating equations, us university folk aren't used to doing much thinking. |

Absolutely. That's the British education system for you. Totally geared around teaching to pass exams rather than teaching skills that will be useful (like thinking!). In the ever spiralling rush for increasing grades, influenced by governments wanting measurements to give the illusion that they're improving the world, it does a total disservice to the kids who know nothing more than being spoon-fed how to provide model answers to questions that have appeared before and will do so again. Scares the life out of some of them when called upon to think outside the familiar formulaic approach. |

Sad state of affairs isn't it, lots were actually saying what you said, that the questions weren't like previous years and how were they supposed to know how to do them etc. And this is for a good course at a good uni too, but the fact they had to do some thinking has clearly outraged them! |

People who use "of" instead of "have" for example should of or would of. I'm not normally a pedant on forum spelling or grammar but this is just plain wrong and does my head in.

Just to clarify, it's not the ever increasing use of it, not the people who use it, that annoys me.

Lego. You spend all Christmas Day building it, within a month its back in its constituent parts with no chance of ever returning to its former glory.  |
