Re: Just 4 more days to go
My last day/assessment is on Thursday.
Then I'm free.
My biggest worry of the week will be Wednesday night at 7:45pm though.

Re: Just 4 more days to go
I have my final presentation for work on friday, and a report to finish by next thursday.
I have a horrible feeling I'm going to upset a lot of people by pointing out their complete lack of logic, and the lack of a clear path forward due to absence of basic research.
I do hate being the bearer of bad news

My cancer treatment is hopefully going to finish on 23rd June (plus 2 days for chemo hangover). Fingers crossed I'm fighting it hard enough! Hoooo yeah

2 weeks until Equity. Then Ethics, then Employment Law a week later. And International Law to cap it all off a week after that.

Re: Just 4 more days to go
I've got exams on Monday, Tuesday and Saturday next week. Thanks to the AUT strike I'm not sure if any are cancelled, the Monday one has been confirmed, but god knows for the other 2.

Christ that is an absoloutely shit timetable, would have been gutted if that had been mine. I don't think I've ever known anyway to get 2 in 1 day in Cardiff.
I had my first exam yesterday which went surprisingly well, another Saturday, then 30th May, 1st, 6th and 10th of June. Worked out almost perfectly for me.

Re: Just 4 more days to go
My exams finished last Thursday, yet I'm still here in Hell. I'm only a first year, so my exams obviously aren't as important as you guys.

At the time of doing them they are important and a stepping stone to the next stage.
Good luck to anyone who has any kind of exams .

They're the only national exam(s) that everyone has to take. Your English, Maths and Science are especially important, as are any languages you can stick on your CV.

Which modules? The thing I hated about psychology was that I loved some of the modules (abnormal + social psychology mainly) but some were so goddamn boring (statistics + biological).
My sister's got her psychology too - she did quite well in her statistical and courseworky one, but isn't looking forward to these ones.

Re: Just 4 more days to go
Employers actually expect to see as much of your academic history as possible.
I doubt it's that difficult to work out why ...

Re: Just 4 more days to go
My CV just says:
"Studied at GCSE:
English Literature, English Language, Mathematics, Science, Design & Technology (Electronic Products), Geography, History, Latin, French."
Where I think it might be useful, I note my grades in English/Maths/Science (A/A*, A*, AA). It almost never is though, unless I'm running out of places to work and need a job in retail.

What nonsense. Do you realise how many numpties are given out degrees? Many emloyees want to see a detailed history of your academic achievements, I'd wonder why if they didn't...
Also, extending the 'logic' you presented above, I suppose when a post-doc publishes some new research, this makes all his previous (including that possibly carried out at undergraduate, masters and phd level) useless?

abnormal, social, research methods and physiological. abnormal and social are interesting, yes but i've pretty much missed half the lessons on these 4 units due to well sleeping in lessons, illnesses etc.. so this is more learning the first time than revision

Got Criminal Law out of the way today. I might put up some of the questions at some point. It went fairly well, only one really bad question on deception offences.
