How prepared are you for January exams?

dont have any exams, but got a 6k word report in for jan 17th, worth 90% of 1 of my last year modules, at least i dont have any dissertation to do :D
 
Just the one exam for me, but plenty of project work for me to be getting on with too.

Exam's just the simple matter of Masters level Quantum Information Processing :rolleyes:

It's just a pity when there are people who potentially really wanted to study on your course who didn't get a place because a dropout lawyer/medic decided to pick it as second best.

Part of the reason I want to get a first is to differentiate myself from the raft of people who'll be getting seconds and don't care about the degree.

Hi five fellow "getting a first to separate himself from the dreck" buddy! Although a first from W^HLancaster separates you from the dreck somewhat less effectively :o

My creepy stalker memory seems to recall your wanting to go into print journalism, oui? Are you doing any postgraduate stuff, or are you hoping to hop into a trainee reporter type position and get trained that way?

Cheers :) Things have changed a bit now and I'm hoping to use my degree for *shock horror* something actually politically motivated lol. I'd like to go into actual policy direction and maybe do something for a big foreign policy think-tank or maybe something with the FCO.

I'm still keeping the journalism up though, doing bits and bobs writing wise and helping edit the uni paper. I'm hoping to do a Masters somewhere - ideally the USA if I can manage to get a scholarship or funding or maybe mainland Europe. I want to get a change of scene and some international experience if possible. If not, it'll probably be Warwick or somewhere else in England.

For getting into journalism it really does seem to be a case of who you know rather than what you know and I'd rather try and do something a bit more substantial if I can!
 
a2 exams, core3 + 4 + mechanics 2 math modules, + physics, fields forces n stuff.

gotta just practice every day (except crimbo) , 6 months on I'll think these exams were ridiculously easy, strange really.

Was in the same position last year but add an oral in... It was a complete nightmare. Best advice I can give you is bone up on your particles.

Had my oral the other week... didn't do so well. Totally forgot some vocab.

The particles don't bother me - it is the bloody Kanji! ARGH!
 
I'll probably be invigilating a couple of exams thanks to new work duties. One of the bad things about being a university technician doing that boring work. :(

Ah Kanji... they were not my friend either. We only had to use Hiragana so afair bit easier!

That through the language centre? I took Italian as one of my subsids, but left after a couple of weeks. Means I have to pick up another ten credits in semester 2... busy time of year though is semester 2 :(

Had I got in to Spanish or Portuguese then I might have stuck at it.

Yeah it was. I wanted to do Arabic as it'd be a lot more useful for my degree and life in general, but it clashed with one of our compulsory lectures. By that point everything else was full so had to get the ten credits somewhere and so did Japanese.

I'm so pleased to be out of the whole subsid side of things this year - I'm doing all politics modules. I wish you could do a language without having to be assessed on it without having to pay a bomb.
