Kudos, that's much better than what I got in my first year; I just had the "all I need to do is pass!" mantra

Actually, I'm worried about my results now. I need at least a 2:1 this year in order to be considered for a study abroad place in my third year. According to the Code of Practice on Assessment for my faculty, a 2:1 is 59% (though that might just be for the degree overall). My first semester marks were 63, 60, 58, 44 and 43. Despite knowing that I need at least a 2:1, I only ever realise that I haven't put enough effort in after the fact.

I need to do some serious work over the next couple of months. I don't want to scrape a 2:1 and end up somewhere shite for my year abroad. Fortunately, my second semester modules are actually interesting.

Surely 59% can't be difficult to achieve?

Absolutely piss easy to achieve.

We need 50% just to pass any given test, or if the test/exam is an even number of marks, 50%+1 mark.

Most of the courses at Loughborough are minimum pass mark of 30%; but after that 40% is a 3rd, 50% a 2.2, 60% a 2.1 and 70% a first

We need 90% for a first, 75% for a 2.


All important finals are vivas though, which has its ups and downs.

And like I said, I don't want to scrape a 2:1 and be left with the poor choices for my placement. Ideally, I'll average around 75% for my remaining modules - I managed 80 in a midterm last Thursday, so there's no reason why I can't do it, other than not putting in enough effort.

We needed 50% in medical school in everything to pass, which always seemed hideously low to me.

Started an OU continuing professional development course, whoop. Something to distract me from work.

Same at Cambridge. Sounded awesome when I first got there, but getting 70% turned out to be hard work.

Congrats Clarky

Well played dude. How have you gone about the AHRC funding application? I'm doing one at the moment.

It wasn't nearly as complicated as I had anticipated. It was essentially one form with a statement of purpose that needed to be sent along with an Academic Transcript and the same references that your application was done with. They need you to resend them because it's usually done by an internal admin office, where only one person from your department gets any say. Probably best to bear that in mind within the statement of purpose; I was advised to write about more qualities and accomplishments than would have been immediately relevant to my course.

Anyways, many thanks A big weight off my shoulders.

Have you accomplished more in the last week than most people have yadda yadda etc?

Semester 1 provisional results made me a happy person today...

2 Firsts, a 2:1 and a 2:2 result in happy times, especially since I actually failed the coursework part of the 2:2 module... Silly uni
