In keeping people up to date - apparently it is valuable information for people to know how I’m doing in life - this is how I did at university in first semester.
JOUR3802 - Newsroom Operations - 6
JOUR2221 - International Journalism - 7
FREN3010 - Advanced Intermediate French A - W
As mentioned before, in the Newsroom Operations course “I missed out on a 7 by 3%. I lost 10% of my overall grade (91%) by handing in the two assignments late, but had I handed them in on time I wouldn’t have got the grades I did”. In International Journalism we got 48/50 in the group assignment and then a minimum of 37/50 in the final exam to get that 7.
In a sometimes frustrating but never-ending attempt at self-deprecation, I will prove that posting these marks is not an attempt to garner praise by providing the following comments:
W is for withdrawn without academic penalty, or, ran for dem dar hills before failing miserably.
In second semester last year I received a 2 (fail), two 4s, and a 5. Both 4s were borderline passes thanks to the consideration of two long-suffering lecturers.
And so, armed with a semester GPA of 6.5, I boldly stride forward to drop French, pick up European Studies and take on five subjects this semester! Blow the bugle Tom, we ride out on Monday.
