It's that time of year again, when people's results start coming in, be they for school, college or university. It'll be interesting to hear what people have been getting.
For me, my degree hangs on these results as it is my final year at University. We do 4 double modules each year and my grades for those this year are: B, C+, C+, C
Given how difficult it was to get the work done, I can at least appreciate those, I wasn't aiming for spectacular grades, because I destroyed my sanity enough as it is. Though I know I ought to have done better...but who cares of that? I am actually pleased.
The 'B' was actually for my dissertation, which was probably the hardest piece of work and I enjoyed doing it, even if my sanity broke. Reading the tutor's comments, they were very positive - the only things I really ought to have done: collate my data into a chart instead of a table, proofread better, and because 2,000 words of the dissertation was meant to be an article aimed at a national newspaper, to basically have written it like the reader knew nothing about the subject area. Everything else seem to be really good, so me be happy.
Previous years results for Uni were:
Year 1: B-, C, C-, D+
Year 2: A-, C, D-, C- (or ACDC if you prefer)
I think overall I might be in for a Desmond (a 2:2) - but I won't know for sure for a couple of weeks. It's very average, but to me, my University experience was a lot more than just the final grade, after all, a degree is a foot in the door, but experience (in my case, volunteering and extra curricular activities) is what helps you get a job. Now, I have to find myself a job and earn meself some money and join the real world. But, once I have more financial stability, the first thing I'm going to do, is to fully move out and share a house with some friends.
So, what have other people been getting?
