People don't like smart people.

I tend to avoid telling people how well I think I've done in exams (or just outright lie) because people don't like people being smarter than them.

Think about it, it's more acceptable to say "i think i got every question wrong" than "i think i got 100%"

crazy world.

Negged again?

What's wrong with you people?

Most people in my year (4th) would say Numerical Methods. The subject had a 66% fail rate in my year.

I got 120% though (yes, that's right, more than 100%).

However, back then it was taught by a different lecturer who was considerably more expectant of his pupils than the new lecturer teaching it, so I'm sure things will be different now.

Apart from that I'd say that Dynamics and Control was the most challenging for me (my worst grade that year - A4!). Just because there's quite a lot of content (20 credits, taught across both semesters), and partly because I left studying for it until very, very late unfortunately.

Then again, both structures courses are difficult simply because York is quite a bad lecturer, his notes and solutions are terrible and fraught with errors, and your entire study time is spent trying to work out where he got random numbers from.

I think quite a few things about 3rd year have changed already, even though it was only last year I done it. Different lecturer for Numerical Methods, different lecturer for Flight Mechanics (I think), you will no doubt have a different lecturer for Fluids since Prof. Galbraith is retiring this year, etc. So might not be fair to compare what you'll experience to what we experienced.

why are you getting negged for getting high grades?

last exam tomorrow
....and then going straight to work....

Have fun Last exam tomorrow morning, then back home to chill and I have work at night

In other news, LA Noire is coming out the day after my last exam, talk about perfect timing.

Good luck to both of yous. I finished my last exam and then nearly fell asleep in my first pint, fair takes it out of you. Some of us had the sense to book a few days off

And LA Noire looks cracking, my mate is getting it for me with his discount the sly gent that he is, does mean waiting a few days. G-Force it town will sell it early if you're interested in getting it straightaway.

why are you getting negged for getting high grades?

He's not. He's being negged because he's quite obviously PerigeeApogee. I have no idea if I spelled that right and I'm not the negger either, but I suspect that may be at least part of the reason...

Anyone who stayed in halls in the first year, do we have to return the bedding pack that we were given?

Yup. Gotta be clean too!

Where do we return them to? Or do they pick them up from accommodation? So annoying they haven't told us anything about this...

I just left mine in my room. I think that is what the email from residential services told us to do. Have they not emailed you moving out stuff? That's annoying.

Last exam over .

Absolutely over the moon with how they went given the ridiculous imbalance of credits this semester compared to last semester and given the little time I had to study because of project work!

I might just have myself a nice wee first class degree in Aeronautical Engineering .
