It's like anonymous twitter for your local area, and you can comment, up vote and down vote, so the Sheff area's full of uni stuff, makes it good procrastination material anyway.

So in our course one of our modules was to produce two magazines. i was editor and out of a group of about 12 only about 4 people put in the work. Now the people who did fuck all have been deducted marks and have now come to me to tell the module leader that they did more.
Put me in a fucking shit position as I don't want them to get marks they don't deserve but I know and like them.
Fucking cunts at uni. Fuck off.

Only tin pot degrees do group projects or have people who don't put in the correct amount of work.

Software Engineering / Computer Science is close to being all group projects nowadays. It's to prepare you for industry apparently. Always hate that reason cause you can't compare lazy fucking students not pulling their weight to people who's pay packet depends on them putting the work in.

So handed in a report 3 weeks ago. Majority of our class got their results back last Friday with the rest on Monday. Still yet to get my result. E-mailed the tutor for the module and she is out of office till the 19th. Looks like i'll have to continue being patient...

Finished today, awful exam but heard everyone complain about how hard a few questions were so hopefully grade boundaries are lowered or something. Gotta look for a job now

Had the worst exam ever today. So bad that a ton of people on the module has emailed to complain about it. The lecturer 100% fucked everyone over tbh. Stuff that was covered in weeks worth of lectures was skipped from the exam in favour of stuff that was covered 2-3 times and barely explained. Going on the 7-8 past papers available, they all covered the big topics that covered a few weeks lectures, but not this one.
Also tells you that you'll need a scientific calculator which would suggest there would be Hill Cipher or RSA Encryption on the paper but nope, neither was on it and there was no need for the scientific calculator at all. To make it worse, the encryption question covered an encryption that he spent so little time going over compared to the 3 others he actually spent time on.
And to top it off says that you have to remember certain constants of certain encryption standards like S-DES, which is basically 78 or so numbers in a certain position. Wasn't even on the exam. Fucking hate university, especially this module. There was sooooooooo much you had to learn from the module, but he picked the most nit-picky, vague, and less covered material from lectures for the exam worth 70%. I also hate how exams ask you the definition of something that is a single bullet point in 150+ slides.
They'll just look at the emails and lick their lips at the £££ coming in for resits. No idea why I bothered going to uni tbh. Regret not going straight into work cause uni is nothing but a money making scheme.

also @will I'm in a very similar situation
our 2 core modules are taught by the same guy who has told some of his "favourite students" that he is "moving on to bigger things" at the end of the year and that this Uni is "just a stepping stone" for him which is literally unbelievable lol he's acting like he's fucking Sterling the fat Bulgarian chain-smoking cunt
had 1 of his exams already and about 90% of people have said they failed it
thing is, they can't fail everyone so if the test is that bad then they will likely boost everyone's grades up because it'll look bad on them ultimately
but he's literally changed the entire exam so every single past paper from the past 10 years is useless, it's truly remarkable how cuntish Uni's are

Yeah, I heard sometimes they boost your grades in a situation like this. I won't hold my breath though. I haven't had an ounce of luck the whole way through university tbh. I take it PHD students do the marking? Cause I always seem to get a ballbag marking my stuff. There was times were I'd have identical work to a friend and he'd get 5-6 marks higher than me. Such bullshit.
