Unprofessional running of course

you can raise them with your head of course/department but in all honesty I wouldn't bother, it doesn't sound like there's much to complain about, except perhaps the late marking of a paper which was a shame but if you'd had only one essay wouldn't have made any difference anyway

for this guy who hands in coursework late and gets away with it, you do not have any idea why, it could be there are mitigating circumstances he has chosen not to share and to be honest if others aren't performing to a high enough standard to pass they need to look at themselves and their work rather than trying to get the university to fail someone else as well, because the fact he passed doesn't mean they deserve to at all

as for revision sessions, I'm sure your lecturers idea was to let you revise in the way that works best for you but be available should you get stuck or need an explanation... you're grown ups now so it's really your responsibility to sort out your own revision, not hers

it sounds very much like you or others are just trying to blame the course for the fact you are unable to manage the work you're being given

No mitigating circumstances... he admits he leaves everything until the last minute and lies to them. No evidence given. I had circumstances and they said no! The marking is just too slow. The lecturer really just thought of an east lesson - some of us really needed stronger help. It isn't a supportive environment at the best of times.

I dont see how its your problem if other people hand in their coursework late? How does that affect you?

It annoys everyone on the course (there are only eight people). They are basically making us look stupid for handing in on time.

Imagine spending days doing an assignment and handing when it os only 70percent done (it is maths so some get all answers on time) and some one walks in hands it in a day later passes with a higher mark also gathering information of off people who handed in on time.

Not only that we need to compare results occasionally. You cant went people are getting away with handing in late. The the group quality comes down slightly.

Also the people at the top of the class, end up not caring so much.

It personally doesn't bother me until I fail one by 2 points handed in on time. The other guy technically also had a fail but passed. A late is a fail as well. That is way it is annoying.

everyone or just you?
maybe he has reasons that he's not telling you about.

He does have a family, which I understand. But he uses that as an excuse and admits he works better under pressure at the last minute. But the problem is the course leaders keep letting him get away with it and he knows this now.

Nope alot of people are annoyed. It has almost become a known thing he will hand in late and everyone else will hand in on time. It's just the norm now... again I agree but there has to be sufficient evidence. We are paid a salary to study. We are paid a salary to concentrate on the course.

you get paid to study? how does that work?

when i was at uni i was allowed to extend my deadlines because i have dyslexia. i never told anyone about it and no one ever questioned it.

Teacher training you can get paid. I'm dyslexic as well. They said no to my extensions ;-)

I have evidence the other guy has no evidence.

Trainee teachers. In the professional year (next year), a late is an automatic fail (disabilities included).


This year we are allowed some late.

I only making the point for me they rejected my evidence (22 pages long) but for someone else they allowed lates just because he know he can at the last minute. Maybe you have never had that happen but I can tell you it is annoying for the whole class.

Subject1 you have no idea how a strict university works. Once yes... not every other assignment in late.

It is only a class of eight people.

22 pages of evidence?!
