bliumchikGuys, guys! Guess who just got back a distinction on an assignment I wrote in a couple of hours on the morning it was due? Under the word count, lacking two of the three in-text references we were asked for, somewhat less than objective, and wrapped in the finest quality formal academic BS language: Distinction and a fairly nice illegible teacher comment.
Who the hell told me universities fail people?
Okay, I'm thinking this is a subject-specific fluke because my teacher is... shall we say, not the most interesting person in the universe. I would go so far as to use the word "bland." I wouldn't be surprised if she's been there for ever and ever and by now just marks based on whether something "feels" like it's worth a distinction. Because a Journalism kid who'd already gotten an assignment back reckons there have been a couple of fails in his class. And I don't see how those people could possibly have put in less effort than I did.
No, I need more data! I'll have to wait till my last two assignments are marked. Then I'll have three minimum-effort info points, which ought to be enough for an instinctive benchmark. And yes, I do intend to try a bit harder on the next batch, if only to avoid the stress of last-minute frenzies.
