1st year wasn't so bad, coz if we did had what im going through now, there will be millions of emails sent round saying lectures cancelled lol, it sucks everytime i see the two words now >.< coz this year counts and next year :( i did buinkj off too much till after xmas then started to be good-ish hahaha but sitll passed woo! im nto too sure about grade boundaries, coz the classifciations is kinda fixed on my uni one... 70%+ = 1st class honour, 60 - 70% = 2:1, 50 - 60% = 2:2, 40 - 50% = 3rd, less than 40 is fail..... i need 2:1 thats the problem for what I wanna do >.<
^ the grade boundaries are fixed everywhere....but like people say rules are dead people aren't so if the tutors see lots of students doing ubbbbber bad they will lower it... are ya sure you didnt get them emails but you were bunking so muchy ya didnt checy ya emails... hahaha jk...but yesh ive had my fair share of cancelled lectures...and its worst coz i commute and by the time i get to uni check my emails and its cancelled....them im ubbbbe :rant:...
^ lol the uni won't move the grade boundaries that's the thing tho, the Head of Law said that we will only get examined for what we have been taught, but being honest for this module that i'm affecterd the most with is that I have not learnt ANYTHING! :( i'm just happy i only live 5 minute drive away from uni and takes 10 minutes to bloody park! lol so i can easily check my emails before i go out
^ 5min drive..?...but 10mins to park...is it worth you driving then..?..quit taking up all the bays im usually in too muchy of a rush to check emails before i leave in the mornings =.=" i dunno if the big guys @ the top say its whut you've been taught then surely it wont matter as muchy right..?...coz they've not done their part it then ya wouldnt be examined on it then..? and most of the time if ya get them crappy lecturers ya wont learn anything in the lectures anyways so no diff. them standing there reading you stuff and you just reading it yourself.. well thas how i felt in some lectures....
^ haha driving is a lot quicker! and parking takes so long coz my routine is to go up the free parkings and if there's none then im forced to go to pay parking but sometimes that's full too so i need to go to park at the residential parking next to the uni but itso nly 2 hour parking =,= swucks really needs to expand the car park bigger lol i have got 2 lectures that im like wtf i might as well stay at home or go to the library and read it up myself which im doing for this Property assignment co the lecturer SUCKS!
lol you take university too seriously. From my perspective - cancelled lectures and bad profs = the best. But I'm pursuing a great deal of professional development and other education via work and other organizations. University to me is not a place to learn, its a place to sit in class and browse reddit, study 1-2 days prior to midterms and finals, pass, and ultimately get a couple of letters tacked on to the end of my name so i can improve my upward mobility and earning capacity at a job in the future. I rarely attend lectures regardless... i suspect i have maybe a 60% attendence rate and im still maintaining a 75% GPA. also, law in canada is a secondary entry program. You generally need 2 years of required undergraduate classes and a high GPA, then you need to write an LSAT exam to gain entry into a law school. The other option would be to get an undergrad degree in something like business first, then take your LSAT and get into an LLB or JD program. I'm generally quite curious about the difference in titles. JD = juris doctor, which makes me wonder if you could legitimately tack on 'dr.' before your name as a title. I've been debating about the merits of doing an LSAT after I graduate next year and going to add a law degree to my acumen, or else going the MBA - management route. I suppose we'll see in a year.
Well I'm a person that can learn when I listen rather than read and write. So having a lecturer attending would help me so much! Thing is though for my law degree in order to get to do my next course I have to get 2:1, and if we were to resit any modules, we only have 2 chances and if we don't pass after the 2nd.. we will fail... Last year my attendance was about 40%? Maybe less? It was appalling and somehow passed.. But it was hard work... It's different in every country so yeah lol. + of course I am taking it half seriously... I'm paying £3k per year and I will owe the Government £21k + interest.... so of course I want my moneys worth If it was my parents that had paid it, maybe it would have been a different story.. I wouldn't care less but it's gonna be down to me to repay that loan
just get a nice part time job. My university tuition costs me roughly the same in CND per year and i can pay it off in 3 months of working 3 days a week or 1 1/2 months full time in the summer. Money is easy to make, people just like to bitch about working for it. I don't really care about tuition at this point, after almost 4 years attending university my main concern is time. I just need to gtfo of school so i can start making some serious money and buy a nice house. Granted, this would be totally different if i were living in the US. Luckily most of Europe and all of Canada have government subsidized tuition, so costs aren't too excessive. My brother on the otherhand wants to go to Berklee School of Music in the US and tuition there for international students every year is almost 40 thousand dollars. If i was racking up a 160 thousand dollar debt after 4 years I would be taking my shit way more seriously.
It's HARD to get a nicely paid part time job here! I work for my dad's in the holiday seasons when I'm back at home and instead of money I get things like petrol and what not to help me pay for stuff. Here at uni I work for my landlord at £6 p/h which isn't bad at all for being under 21 as we have the stupid minimum wage system on age brackets >.< That's why I want the best for what I'm doing now so I can get on the next course that my parents or my sponsor will have to pay £8k for so I can earn hopefully at least 30k+ on my first job so I can get whatever I want and save up quicker for whatever I want.... TBH boarding schools and universities to take in international students than home students as they earn a BOMB from them.. It's kinda like a rip off for them :sp_ike_d:
^ £8k law course...?..thas the college of law thingy aint it...ive got a few friends doing that too...^^
^ yes yes it is .. not necessarily going to the college of law but i might go Anglia Ruskin seems like it's local, I'll probs go into college of law if I'm doing part-time coz I can't afford to commute to LDN all the time lol that £8k I can;t get it from Gov, either get sponsorship from law firm or get rents to pay it lol
ARU is one of the good uni's to do Legal Practice Course.. better than the uni than i am.. 2/6 for my uni and 5/6 for ARU i have done my research and lots of law magazines recommend there ARU is known for law i think
^ lol... i go ARU but cambridge campus, the uni is shit, they just interested in money, everyone i know says the same thing about the uni. theyre not organized at all. ive had trouble with my timetable three years in a row - all three times it was their fault. they fail at pretty much everything. i remember last yr or yr before some bird posted a video on youtube sayin how shit uni was and she went through point by point - everything she said was actually true, then uni found out kicked her out, made its way on the news and i dont remember the rest...but its was amusing. anyway, i thought the chelmsford campus was mainly for the IT, gaming etc courses
^ Well I guess each uni is the same with their timetbale issues but teaching wise it was reviewed that ARU > Uni. Glamorgan by miles Chelmsford one is known for nursing, teaching, Law and English from what I have heard I got quite a few friends that goes to Chelmsford and they have no problem and some goesd to Cambo and doesn't have aproblem too
^ maybe because back in the day it only costs £1k per year maybe for the whole course further back uni. of glamorgan and other unis too
