The Uni Study Thread Mark IV

So I got an invite to Imperial Won't go though tbh

Whyyyy not?

I got a PhD offer from them today. I'm gonna be a ****ing doctor haaaaaaaa.

Well done!

Well I've fallen in love with Leeds and Imperial messed me around for a range of reasons


How are you?

Ahh nicee. Leeds is lovely tbf. You did your undergrad at imperal didn't you (or am I mistaking you for someone else?) - if you did, can understand why you'd want to go elsewhere...as much as I adore Exeter, I want a change of scenery.

We're gonna be doctors, aha go us

I'm pretty good thanks, finished uni for the term, two exams and a piece of coursework and then I'm done forever here, which is ****ing scary. You?

Did my undergrad at King's and I think I just need to get out of London tbh The thought of that scares me so much but we're gonna be awesome doctors

I know it's scary but at least you know what's happening in September which is good I'm fine however ...



You broke up with the boy right?

Ah, I was sure you were there haha, oops . Aha I can understand that tbh, it's nice to move around. Ahaha its so ****ing scary the idea of actually doing this - but we can, go us

Ah, don't feel like that! I've been though that kinda stage and found in the end that I wanted stability too - its nice for a short period, but sometimes you just want someone to rely on. Doesn't mean that it's bad, or that you should judge yourself for it either!

Yeah, I did. He's an idiot.

Does anyone have any tips on dealing with group work with a useless group?

I'm in a group of 5, 3 of us actually work but the other 2 are nightmares! One has completely ignored every email/text sent to him and the other has only replied once but hasn't actually done any work. Have no idea what to do. I still include those 2 people in emails about work, so I am trying to involve them and ask them to do some work but I am getting nothing back :/

Tell whoever is leading the unit for the group work.

Balance that with being fair though. When is the deadline? Maybe they've had **** going on. Don't immediately assume they're lazy. Try communicating with them again - chase them up!

Well the deadline was meant to be the thursday just gone but it got extended- even then they haven't done any work at all.
We've had this coursework brief since the start of March and I have communicated with them! I have sent at least 6 emails since then, asking them to think of ideas, to send the ideas they thought of, help with certain parts of the work and asking them to do bits of it and I am getting ignored. I understand they may have stuff to do or other deadlines but I don't think that allows them to not work

Then contact someone at uni, common sense no?

Then contact someone at uni, common sense no?

Haha it is but I feel mean doing it Not sure why as they piss me off so much haha

The only thing that would stop me is fear of the person saying something along the lines of "ur an adult now, sort it urself, teamwork in the real world hurr durr" (or something coherent, but you know this is what it would actually mean)

Don't feel mean doing it - they're affecting your degree! They're the ones being mean!

Thats what I think about too! Not sure how I can sort it myself though other than what I'm doing



Thanks I'll try and talk to someone from uni soon

Honestly it's fine. You can't force people to work. You've done everything you can do. Take along the emails or something to show them. At my uni they made it clear from the beginning if anyone messes about to let them know.. and at the end we all had to sign to say everyone contributed equally to the project (anyone who didn't contribute enough would get fewer marks or none at all and no credit points)

I hope you get it sorted soon, must be so frustrating.
