****, that doesn't sound like 'not the most severe of problems'! Hope he's feeling better. Also, work will always get done - you'll be fine!


Yeah, he's ok now :smile: He's gone home for a week.. He can't play sport or anything, obviously, which he hates because he's on the football team and normally plays 4 times a week. Bless him. His heart rate was about 180, it was quite horrible. I was on edge all day, and of course it's serious, I just know that some people have had worse illnesses and.. yeah.

Bloody hell though, I really really hate hospitals. They make me so panicky.

Oh poor guy, I've had that done to me before, it is really scary but hospitals are brilliant at sorting that kind of problem out.
Result from our meeting about the exam:

- "Your coursework and exam will be scaled separately, and the exam is likely to be scaled fairly significantly."

- "You will all receive special considerations with regard to this module come the end of the year."

Not a bad result. :h:
what does scaled mean?

Marks increased/decreased after they've been moderated - in this case it's going to be an increase.
Well, that's a good outcome. :smile:
Glad that worked out for you.

I'm currently burying my head in stats questions and fantasising between the horrible things I'd do to the person who invented statistics and how drunk I'm going to get tomorrow.

Last exam tomorrow? Already?

In other news I'm meant to be revising for my exam tomorrow but I'm terrified thinking about Fridays exam, not done any revision for it!
I'm writing an essay about British expats in Spain.

Nope. I've got my final one on Friday but it is an optional module that I could probably pass on CW alone. I also really hate stats so a bit of emotion focused coping will be needed will be needed tomorrow (i.e. getting pissed)
I'm currently alternating between panicking, doing last minute french revision and reading Das Muschelessen, the most ridiculous book every written (the first paragraph is 17 pages long and most sentences are 1-2 pages :frown: )

Also, good result Marcus!
I'm bored of this essay... 5000 words just seems so much to say. It would be much easier just to explain it all to someone without having all this writing ****ery to do.
Ditto that with my dissi.

About 2/3 through my final chapter I think, then conclusion, graphs and referencing to do, it's going to be up at around 40 pages (if not more) and this is only the 'half-way stage' we're handing in.

Yipes.

Helen Paul stats tomorrow? Only exam I'm stressing over tbh, did pretty **** in the CW so I'm still needing close to 40% to pass. Im not hopeful.

Yeah, I've got to start writing up my dissertation within the next 4 weeks once I've got my last set of results back from about 2 weeks worth of labs I still have to do. 16000 words... so unimpressed. About 3k of that is a lit review which I should probably have done by now but still, arg.

I thought Helen Paul was an Economics lecturer. You do economics? How I loathed stats from last year. I even thought I flunked the exam, and so did most people but I ended up getting like 50%.

Yeah she's doing Statistics with Economics which is just stats really, S1 & S2 from alevel mostly. She's not too bad, she's just not good at her job soo I do reserve some hate for her. I had to retake S1 like three times anyway during my alevels just to get a B so I'm just generally bad at stats, I'm just hoping the exam is forgiving.

Don't worry about it, I barely scraped a B in S1. Even if you think the exam has gone horribly, you may be surprised like I was. Good luck! Have you had ECON1003 yet?

Nope. Psychology stats with Tammy Meneer. Our exam is worth 70% of the module :s-smilie:

Yeah, according to Word mine is currently 8.5k-9k words so that sounds about right for where I am now then.

I've got to ask for a load of books to be sent to Hartley from the National Oceanography Library (Liverpool) next term, a whole series of books I need to read. :lol:
