Im starting in Durham this year. Just out of curiosity, when would we be sitting exams?
The exam period is usually around 15th May to 5th June. Resit period is around 17th to 30th August.
So mid May to the first few days of June. Results are then received in late June and registration takes place. Resits are in August with results of those given in September.

Hmm, for some reason 'My Maths Timetable' has changed back to my timetable for Michaelmas term last year...anyone else?
I'm hoooooooome!

When're you heading back to Durham?
Question - I recently bought something on ebay. Seller sent it to my old address (long story) but, before I realised this, already opened a case as it hadn't arrived (at proper address). Ebay have unexpectedly given me a refund once they realised it was sent to the incorrect address.
I still might get the item, as the agent at my previous Durham house has the Royal Mail card and gave me the details. So I arranged a redelivery for Monday (still mightn't turn up, as the Royal Mail place at Belmont frequently loses/misplaces items).
If it turns up, should I send the item back to him, or should I just keep it for free?

Ahh I haven't been on this thread for a while. How is everyone doing?
Gotta present my analysis results to my supervisor on Tuesday, and then the joys of paper writing (publication maybe)
(tl;dr I have been busy all summer)

Well, I got a free Xbox 360 today 
But I somehow cut my hand when going to answer the door to receive it

Has the timetable structure been changed this year so that afternoon lectures start on the hour rather than quarter past?

I'd be interested if anyone knows about this - the physics timetable talks about the hour rather than quarter past, and I assumed it was just being vague...

Surely they can't be changing the timetable? That 15 minutes is pretty important for lunch...
Has anyone been to Strasbourg? I'm thinking of getting the train there sometime next term, or over the Easter hols. If so, any tips for cheap accomodation? There's a museum over the border in Germany I'd like to visit for my dissertation, but will base myself at Strasbourg.
Second hand, the ebay delivery I mentioned earlier. I miss beating my previous housemate (who's now left Durham) at Fifa and, sorta, Tiger. So now I can do it on Live
*
Was sent to my old address in Durham instead of my parent's (sure I deleted the address) and seller has given me a refund because of this, or ebay have ordered him to. I was able to get my previous agent to scan the Royal Mail card and send it to me by email, then I arranged a redelivery. So, yeah, given a refund and it arrives.
I'll probably give the seller a cheque. It sinks of nicotine though.
*I do other things apart from play games and piss about on TSR. Honest.

I know, I hope not
The module timetable online still has the day down as 9.00-6.15, but on that timetable too when you put a module in they're down as starting on the hour.

Have you spoken to Sharon?

Have you spoken to Sharon?
Yeah so far shes been pretty useless. I tried ringing her all day on Thursday but there was no answer, she was responding to my emails on Friday and im working today so cant phone her but she never replied to any of the emails I sent over the weekend.
Its really annoying because shes probably doing f'all at the minute.
And no one will advise me on what to do, I want to know whether I should attempt to go through clearing or to hold out for the appeal but I really dont want a year out, if I have to do that I may as well resit some modules of my A levels and I wouldnt even bother applying to Durham again

Well, I need to be careful what I'm saying here....but I'm not surpised. It's a shame Barbara isn't available during the holidays any more.
Have you tried the DSU?

I don't have any experience of appeals (came close to needing to make one but fortunately I was able to ruffle some feathers an alternative way and sorted things out) so I can't really give any advice. But I believe a faculty appeal should take up to 6 weeks.

From what ive heard and seen im not the only one who has a problem with her. In fact, everyone I know whos dealt with her thinks shes useless whereas ive always quite liked her, shes fine when im in Durham but maybe thats cus she knows ill go to her office
But yeah, I did email Barbara cus I knew id get a quicker response, she did email me back on Friday night actually but she told me to get in touch with Sharon.
Would you mind expanding on that alternative method?
via PM if necessary?I was so close to passing all of them too, I think I passed 4 out of the 6 modules and failed the other 2 marginally
