how many people have i offended?

[Big Sledge]

he seemed to take even more offense when I suggested such a thing. If I get a shit mark I'll just appeal it to the head lecturer, but if it's a high 70s (even though it may have deserved more) I'll probably just have to be content with that.

I got 97% for the exam (topped the subject, fuck yeah) and 87% for my presentation - that leaves me at roughly 92%. I want to try and keep this average up so I can really buffer my grades whilst my Law isn't going as well. It sounds like a classic case of "sooky kid gets 80%, is disappointed", but I'm not one to be content with doing 'averagely' - I want to eventually do a Ph. D in History, so the marks are really pertinent.

Is this your last piece for the topic? Will you likely get him again for different classes?

I'd run the gauntlet to piss him off via getting it marked by someone else. Especially with a HD on the line.

Gonna fuck the shit outta these exams.

Yepp, last piece for the topic. However, his friend is running the core for our Honours program. Normally it's only to be taken by 3rd years, but my tutor has nominated me as someone who could apply for special consideration to complete it in 2nd year, I was the only one in our entire class of 25 offered the subject, let alone a year early; he reckons if he talks to his friend (who I've also had as a tutor) that I should get in. The guy likes me and has gone out on a limb for me here, that's what I mean, he's not a bad guy who I would want to piss off, so a lot of what I would normally do is out of the question. If I get a shit mark, I'm going to go speak to the head lecturer and get it re-marked. It's all I can do.

Does nothing for me sitting here knocking up a 2500 word essay tho haha.

lel I don't really care.

Without trying I would be averaging mid 70's for my Arts subjects anyway. (inb4flunkingthissemester)

Considering going back to do a grad diploma in Project Management.

Good or bad idea?

One or two years?

But it can't hurt to have at least something else on your resume. Just a standard 3yr degree doesn't make you stand out that much.

Effort is the only thing that's keeping me from doing as well as I should.

[Ball So Hard]

Apparently my Arts subjects are competitive and only a few students get H1.



dat bell curve.

My understanding was Project Management was the sort of postgrad degree you do after years of experience in a relevant field?

It's a one year thing. Could also do a 1.5 year Masters which I guess is better again?

My dad works in the construction field and he thinks he can get me a job at a construction company whilst studying it.

If not Project Management - what other sort of management related post-grad course could I benefit from? A three year Bachelor degree, particularly in Commerce, doesn't really help me stand out from anybody (particularly with only a 4.9 GPA).

[Ball So Hard]

My Dad is a project manager. If you want to be one then in addition to that course, you'd want to do a whole lot of other courses like PMI and the like.

=/=

It just looks and sounds better though. "I've got a masters in ..." gives off a better impression than "I've got a diploma in ..." if you know what I mean. Hence my Masters of Teaching looking better than a DipEd even though the only difference is I do an extra semester (for teaching specialisations).

[TakingthePapiss]

Other option is doing Applied Finance which is relevant to what I studied and looks quite good - but then I'm not sure I'd be able to get a job out of it.
