Re: GOGSoc Episode V: The GOG Strikes BackMe too. It seems none of us (except Craggy?) would have known Corinna was being defamed if she hadn't told us(Original post by IlexAquifolium)
As did I. Although more people should defame their girlfriends in gogsoc, it's funny.

Re: GOGSoc Episode V: The GOG Strikes BackWhat do males secrete? Basically trying to explain my interview strategy to someone and I lack the technical vocabulary. I turn up commando so my scent overpowers whoever I'm interviewing and they know that I'm dominant and give me the job/scholarship. What am I secreting? pheromones?
Also have grown a beard especially for this interview. The combination should be overwhelming. If I can find a way to show off my chest hair I can probably get a fellowship out of it. -

Re: GOGSoc Episode V: The GOG Strikes BackSo here's something I'm curious about: are classicists who focus on Greek more likely to have beards than those who focus on Latin? I vaguely remember being told that the Romans themselves weren't so keen on beards, so...(Original post by The Lyceum)

Re: GOGSoc Episode V: The GOG Strikes BackI was told by a psychologist that you shouldn't wear perfume to job interviews (especially not if it's cheap) because they will then form a subconscious judgment of you based on whether or not they like your perfume. I don't know whether man-smell falls into that category, but I would be wary of trying to batter their noses with your crotch. This plan could backfire.

Re: GOGSoc Episode V: The GOG Strikes BackI have read this too - if nothing else, you run a risk that it might remind the interviewier of an ex they're not too fond of who used the same scent. Better to stick to the tried and tested methods.(Original post by IlexAquifolium)

Re: GOGSoc Episode V: The GOG Strikes Back****ing hell. Just read an essay through coursework.info - no idea what institution it's originally from - that I would barely have given a 2.2, which the submitter claims got a first. It's literally 50% quotes. All properly referenced and whatnot, but how can you give a first to an essay where half the words aren't the student's?? I mean, the stuff in it's really good, but you would expect it to be, given that it was written by some of the foremost names in the field.

Re: GOGSoc Episode V: The GOG Strikes BackI only got a first on one or two of my essays at UG so I distinctly remember it was for some original point that my caffeined mind had induced at 3am. Maybe its all getting easier now like gcse and a levels *feels old*(Original post by IlexAquifolium)

Re: GOGSoc Episode V: The GOG Strikes BackYeah all the essays I got 1sts on I remember sitting trawling through the original texts trying to think of something original/unusual to say. My favourite, and highest mark, was when I managed to somehow make large parts of a text seem like analogies for Jesus...(Original post by Socrates)

Re: GOGSoc Episode V: The GOG Strikes BackIn a film seminar I did some years ago, someone gave a presentation on 'Robocop as a Christ Figure'. And it was actually a pretty good presentation.(Original post by Becca)

Re: GOGSoc Episode V: The GOG Strikes BackThis piece of news is highly relevant to GOGSoc, methinks.

Re: GOGSoc Episode V: The GOG Strikes BackGetting firsts was consistently difficult during my UG and there were times I just wanted to give up...In second year Latin I kept on the cusp (67/8) even though I ended up getting 81 overall for it (highest ever in dept).
Third year Latin was also the same, but I think that was because the professor was just the way he was. He had a good approach though and I'll forever benefit from his tuition. In general in my third year I managed to get a few firsts: I just had to quit my sports and rarely see my friends. Not sure it's worth it in the long run....people are impressed with my mark sure, but for most programmes a 74 isn't any better than a 60 or, in Oxford's case, a 67. So...
Cambridge interview went ok btw guys.
