    The location of the comment is what made it look bitchy


    I can totally understand how it may have been picked up as bitchy. Perhaps it was, I don't know. But to me it just looks like a bit of banter.


    On a bitch note: Damn lecturer scheduling extra lectures to make up for bank holidays. :( So hungee but now won't get a chance to eat before 3..... might just skip it actually. :p

    Is anyone else hearing that the medical center is going to start charging per use now?

    IIRC it was mentioned during the election campaigns... can't remember too well tbh. But I have heard it mentioned before somewhere.

    Yeah. It's something that I'd heard in the last few days a few times... Not sure what to think about it to be honest.

    I could be wrong now but I have been hearing things about it starting to charge, from probably next year on, in the last few days. And you know what they say, no smoke without fire.

    I was talking to a the nurse at the start of the year and even then they had cut the services down a lot to keep it free as in now it only had one nurse and doctor. This is no big shock thb.

    Hates when you're trying to take notes and listen in a lecture because the lecturer is talking about stuff that's guaranteed to be on the exam but people behind you don't even bother to whisper, never mind the fact that they were talking and giggling in the first place...

    That's really poor form. Another thing that bugs me (maybe it shouldn't) is when people walk out of lectures if it's a guest lecture or if the material doesn't seem directly pertinent to whatever essays are up. I find those lectures a great help. You can get a pretty blinkered outlook when you're just focusing on one text or subject for ages.

    Never seen anyone walk out of my lectures before. Sometimes wish they would...

    Your module outline is supposed to declare all of that in advance.

    Not really seeing as the entire class believed the 30% was for the final lab exam, and not split 20:10. And I've attended all but 2 of them anyway.

    I know, but the lecturer is claiming that that was the structure all the time. He said in the first lecture that there was 30% for labs, and never split that up.
    I suppose it's only 6% I'm gonna lose, but still annoying. If I'd known there were attendance marks I would have attended at least one of the ones I missed.

    We were also told a few weeks ago that the lab exam was 30%.

    Also, a sign in sheet wasn't present at all the labs.

    Ah, the old post-hoc ante-hoc shuffle. Regardless of it being your own responsibility yadda yadda, it's something that shouldn't be allowed. A declaration of X% for Y, that's the purpose of the module outline in the first place. Anything else is changing the rules during the game and not notifying the players until the game is over or almost over (the possibility and implications of which are the reasons that the module outline was initially agreed and exists to avoid).

    If you are going in from main reception, take the lift to level 1, turn left when you get out off the lift, sharp left then then right then left and straight on through the canteen, once through the canteen you go straight through the stairwell into block A and the room is on you left of this corridor, called the fish tank, glass &wood box type effort.
