Have you got an exam or piece of coursework looming? Or have you just started a course? Making your surroudings all clutter-free does help with the motivation a bit, I find. Feng shui ftw.
No just started my modules. No exams, just TMAs and EMAs,
I keep meaning to tidy the room and read my notes. It's a maths education module and I have my first students for teaching sessions on Saturday morning and Sunday morning yikes. Also I need a Grade 1 in both my modules to get a 1:1 overall which is what I'm desperate for. Oh please I must do it!
What does % with results mean? Is that how many people were left for the exam? and 89.7% of them passed it?
I think % with results is how many people actually submitted/did all the necessary stuff for the module (e.g. TMAs, exam, whatever you have to do to be able to pass) - so anyone not included in that dropped out at some stage or another. And then % passed is what percentage of those people who got results got a passing grade. So for U213 I'd read it that 31.9% dropped out, and then 16.4% of the people who didn't drop out, failed.
S282 Astronomy is like that so I've read. People probably aren't always aware that it's not a casual course for amateurs but there's some tricky physics to get to grips with.
I agree with Nitebot. High drop out rates are usually due to unprepared and/or uninformed students. MST209 has a very reasonable pass rate, I wouldn't be put off by it.
I plan on taking S377 (Molecular and cell biology). 40% drop out, only 60% that complete the course pass. People have been complaining about it for a long time and it was to be discontinued and replaced, but they're extending it!
