OT: Bugger

Appeal.

Tell them I said you have always been an exemplary student.

Might work?

When I were a lad, my course didn't have honours. You either got a degree or you didn't.

For which I am eternally gratefull.....

R Sherunckle BSc. (not Hons)

IIRC I too could have got a first if I hadn't missed a mid-term exam due to being engrossed in Diagnosis Murder. Meh, 2:1 is still good though. I'm told employees prefer it anyway because it shows you're not a total nerd, but might have some personality too. Sounds like crap made up from someone who was bitter about not getting a first TBH, but it's something to tell the guys down the pub!

Anyways, well done you!

Of course a first nowdays from a former polytechnic is worth ooohhh about what a 2:2 was worth in my day.

Honest.

Umm well done Depresion BTW.

If you just miss a first, (ie, get an average of 69), a lot of unis award still award a first. DAMHIKIJD. Read your unis paperwork on grades.

Ask for a recount?

As my boss puts it. A 2:1 is a thinking mans degree. A 2:2 is a drinking mans degree.

Did you keep any of the slates or bone scratchers from then?

I think I still have the original mammoth-hide parchment with my degree charcoaled into the surface, somewhere.

Well this thread has finally shown up on my news server, I haven't been ignoring you lot. The final classification is based on a numerical score that we don't actually see so it's still all in the air but the suggestion in the course handbook is that I need 6 A- or above to get a first. I could just do with them pulling there fingers out.

It seems like I can't even add up right as I've had the classification through as a 1st.

Well done matey! What are you qualified to do then?

Bugger all, it's an engineering degree.
