  1. UC have just told me they are back paying me because they were wrong about what I was entitled to due to "removal of student income" and I have no idea wtf that means.
    I did get student loans. They seemed really convinced when I applied that I would get next to nothing or nothing at all simply because I get student loans.

    Very confused and very concerned that they're gonna pay me and then go "psych, give it back"

  5. Submitted both final assignments for my first year of uni.

    Onwards and upwards to hopefully a better uni that encourages actual critical thinking and research next year... (anyone been to Essex uni?)

  9. Right, one final assignment submitted. One more to knock out before 21st.

    Speaking of university - has anyone got any experience of Essex's online courses?

  13. So even if I don't submit my final assessment, I have still passed one module with 59.64%. So maybe I can chill a teeny bit about getting this final assignment right.

  17. Fuck it, I've submitted my assignment. It's trash and probably not what they want, but it is not gonna matter how many times I re-read their instructions and ask other people about them, because the problem is the instructions.

  21. OMFG. DSA are going to reassess me but are still rejecting my fibro and POTS diagnoses, they're only allowing hypermobility... which famously gives you extreme fatigue and pain and leaves you unable to sit up even in bed often...

    My first year finishes next month and I still won't have the support I need to actually access education properly.

  25. omfg, for the final assignment of this year you are still explicitly not allowed any external sources. Only the module materials, i.e. the books and website info they provide. No actual studies.

    How is this possibly a uni degree?

  29. so it wasn't great but in good news she went through some feedback with me and confirmed my "this is bullshit" opinion of it.
    So I have just emailed my tutor with basically a take down of their feedback and a bunch of questions given my next assignment for that module is the same thing so I need to know WTF they are marking for.

  33. Goal for today to, hopefully, get me closer to finishing this assignment without crushing me with stress:
    - write methods section (which is just a copy paste thing basically).
    - write discussion section (which should help me feel better cos I can tear down how bad and pointless this study is).

    Will have to wait for a reply from someone after the weekend on what the rationale for doing a study that's been done better in all ways multiple times is...

  37. Question for the Toot Wales folks - if I was to run a community here for students in Wales, how would you like that to work?

    I'm thinking a hashtag, #StudentsInWales, and then maybe a weekly chat hour.

    Very open to ideas and suggestions!

    p.s. Folks outside of Toot Wales but studying in Wales would of course be welcome!
