Does anybody else have one lecturer who you never seem to score well with? I swear my highest assessment grade with him has been about a 58 across like 4 units, while my total average is like a 65 and I'm usually scoring easily above that recently. Very suspicious...

Update: got a 50 on the last assessment to bring my final grade for the unit to a 52. What rubbish, I know that assignment deserved at the very least a 60. Luckily I'm doing well in my other units to keep my average at a solid mid-60s.

What degree do you do?

Some lecturers are looking for very specific writing styles etc.... I once got a fail in a draft report because I wasn't using standard paragraph structures.

Sport Management, it isn't anything super technical and just normal report styles - have never had any comments on any assessments about anything technical.

First VCE exam down, received my most recent Sac result 70 minutes before, got 98% which was a nice confidence booster before the exam today.

Got this 1500 word organisational change plan to write. Told myself I'd start it on Wednesday but that didn't happen. Then told myself I'd start it yesterday, that didn't happen either. Been up for like 3 hours and it's nearly midday and I still haven't created a word doc for it yet. Knowing me, I'll prioritise watching footy over the weekend. It's due Monday.

But seriously, who the flower decides it's a good idea to have an assignment due like two weeks after we finish semester?

Those who think organisational change is a structured management methodology that will impact on their students learning   :o

Slacker Nige :P. I had something due today but submitted it on Wednesday after starting it on Wednesday, just so I can focus on other stuff this weekend, like Essendon's 2nd win ;).

Awesome FTC :D. How many more left for these half-year ones? I thought they were gone a year or two back (The Year 2 ones, unless these are Year 11 exams) :-X.

Yeah I'd imagine it's for year 11, think they scrapped the mid years after 2012/2013 (I had my Physics one in 2012 so was definitely after then)

Have an exam in 6 hours  :(
And like a good uni student, you were awake at 2:30am to complain about it.  ;D

So, on the back of a 73 and an 80 on my most recent assignments, I need 23% and 9% in my two exams to pass each unit. Pretty confident I'll get there :3

No hurdle requirement?
