LTK:
Fucking students can't even fill out a questionnaire right, how the hell am I supposed to analyse this when half the subjects didn't even provide an answer? BLANK does not mean ZERO.

StaedlerMars:
god damnit I am so bored of this assignment.

So fucking bored of it.

I have been sat in the library all afternoon, convincing myself that I am working hard when in reality all I have achieved is a list of things I have not done, a list of topic areas we have covered in supervisions, a list of supervisions which I haven't done any work for and a very small amount of substantive work towards those supervisions.

Basically here is the thing: I am utterly screwed, because we haven't covered everything in supervisions and I missed far too many lectures. Even if I had actually done all the work set, I would still be missing some topics.

On the plus side, I can probably still catch up on the work I didn't do in the past two terms. Hopefully the missing topics won't be critical for the exams.

A bit of a worry is that my criminal law supervisor isn't actually a criminal law specialist at all, so she isn't a lot of use when you have problems or need to ask a question. I've been defending her against this accusation all year but I have to face the fact that it's true. So I've got no way of knowing whether I've got things right or not.

ARGH why am I doing this degree? I like having measurable, achievable targets so that I can track my progress. How can I quantify whether or not I know everything that I'm supposed to know?

kemon:
remember that you're paying for the education.  if you don't feel you're getting out of it what you pay for, then you should talk to someone about it.  see your department academic advisor or another supervisor.  even just another professor in your field can help you make some sense of it if necessary.

i've always found that it's better to tell someone when there's a problem.  they can't help until they know something needs to be done.

Barmymoo:
Yeah, I know that really but I like our criminal supervisor and she isn't completely inept, she's just a bit wishywashy. If I'd actually gone to lectures, which are technically compulsory, I wouldn't be having a problem so it is really my own fault.

Not sure I'm really cut out for academia but I am definitely cut out for university life.
