    Its not how it was always marked, nor is it consistent in all the modules, as you can get more marks in some of the listening exams.


    but the class was not told, and the worst part is that you could get more than 72/72 by writing "extra information" which of course not many people tried to do because the class wasnt told.

    We're not allowed name lecturers on here are we? I'd be interested to know who's in charge of that module...

    Thats crazy, its bad enough losing the 28% but the fact that you could of made it up and werent told is just a bit too far now.

    The worst is about an hour and a half before the exam where you know you should be cramming but you just can't be aaaaarsed.

    Normally I have oxegen.ie articles going into my spam folder but I thought this was funny:
    University student , Melvin, 19, has deceived peers by joining in the pre-exam panic by stating that he didn’t do any study, and instead stayed up all night using Facebook and watching funny videos on Youtube rather than studying for his second year Business exam.

    While panic ensued just minutes before the exam, worried students swapped tall tales of how little work they’d done, and how they were definitely going to fail the exam and have to do repeats. The exam hall was turned into a house of lies as one student after another claimed to be “so ****ed for this it’s not even funny” and “going on the beer straight afterwards to drown me sorrows”

    Rather unfunny jokes were also doing the rounds, such as “Sure the real exams are in August anyway!” and “Ah I’ll just drop out and become a prostitute”.

    When the exam finally began, Melvin proceeded to write furiously for three hours, asking on two occasions for more paper and at one stage engaging in a discussion with the lecturer. Other students looked on in despair at a man who had evidently studied his arse off and then lied about it.

    It’s thought that most of the students did actually study for the exam, and probably did just fine and will pass comfortably, despite the worried glances exchanged across the exam hall and the negative reports afterwards.

    Nobody went on the beer afterwards either.

    Bunch of dorks.

    You will pass all of your exams!

    I've a vague memory of an email (since deleted) saying parking permits weren't required during exams... anyone know if that was me imagining things?

    Benefit to tourism eh? I wonder when her aides tell her about these bomb threats will she spare a thought for the poor kids she sends of to Afghanistan every year who have to deal with IEDs on a daily basis? Nah, lolz, course she won't.
