I feel like crap at the mo. I'm very ill and it started from Thursday afternoon. I think it's most likely the flu, a really bad case of it and so I was not able to go to work yesterday and meet

Thanks, I'm feeling a lot better now, through I still have some symptoms but they're not as bad as they were.

Also thanks for the congratulations. I totally agree with you. I understand exams are important but they really shouldn't contribute so much. They don't allow a student to show her full potential.

Agreed.

I have two subjects this coming semester that are all essay based. I have not written an essay since the year 2000. Oh dear!

[dr_weir_uk]

Wow that's 6 yrs ago. That's so unfair! Hopefully you'll get guidance.

Your grade system there confuses the heck outta me. :P

[dr_weir_uk]

I don't quite understand your GPA grade system as I never read an explanation. Out of interest how does it work? :)

1st = A
2:1 = B
2:2 = C
3rd = D (I assume).

Oopsy. I was applying for a job and put down my GPA as 4.00. Is that good or bad? Because I average a high destinction and I *thought* that was 4.00.

Ah, okay, I see how that is.

Ours is on a "GPA" (Grade Point Average) scale.
A = 4.0
B = 3.0
C = 2.0
D = 1.0
F = No Credit

You add .3 for a "+" or subtect .3 for a "-". Eg. an A- would be a 3.7, a B+ would be a 3.3, etc.

To calculate the overall GPA, you just average all the point values of your classes. Say you got an A and a C, each in classes that are three credits:
(4.0*3 + 2.0*3)/6 = 3.0 overall GPA

We haven;t had season 10 of stargate yet...

And I hope your better soon!

[dr_weir_uk]

Oops I meant season 9. Through I'm not looking forward to season 10 because of it...

Thanks, I'm almost better. :)

I just got a sore throat and a suspected temperature. I hope I didn't catch it from you, lol.

[dr_weir_uk]

Well...I did cough quite a bit on my computer. ;)
