I did mine on a Martin Millar story - Ruby and the Stone Age Diet. Wrote to him telling him what I was doing, (some wibbly postmodern analysis of it) and he wrote back to me, being very nice and encouraging :)

Did send Ewan a final copy but alas, no reply. I guess he's just far too busy being lovely :(

I did my degree in cultural studies and my diss compared two documentaries about women in South America which included some very wobbly postmodern analysis and deconstruction bollocks. It's so earnest and worthy it makes me cringe :D
 
What is so bad about getting a 2.1? :mad:

Obviously a 1st is better, but the way everyone who got a 2.1 on this thread has to say, well, i would have got a 1st if it wasn't for blahblahblah, well, it makes me feel rather thick. I'm pretty certain that even if it wasn't for blahblahblah, I still wouldn't have got a 1st, but I was still very pleased and proud to get a 2.1 thank you very much.

I knew you'd take the piss. It was English social history from the 16th century on and studying mass media.

But I'm sure you have to be much cleverer to do a degree in IT :p
 
:(

I wish there was an option for those of us with professional qualifications which take just as long as degrees... </feels really thick compared to you lot>

I'm going to Uni in April though! :)

You did cultural studies? We really must have a chat sometime. :)
 
I wonder how reflective of the general population these results are? Not very I reckon, probably due to the self-selecting nature of the vote. I'm pretty sure that in the general population the First Class percentage would be lower and the Lower Second higher.

Well there's at least 2 Northern votes...don't know where everyone else is...
 
I got a 2:1. I feel common now.


There were no firsts on my course and most peoples results were split quite evenly between 2:1 and 2:2 actually I think there were more 2:2's




But of course I did it when degrees were hard mwuhahahaha

Out of interest, what degree was it, and were there many mature students on it?

It's just that I remember a lecturer telling me that most firsts are gained by mature students.

When I was doing my finals we had to contend with trained monkeys rampaging round the exam hall, stabbing people in the eyes with frozen slices of lemon.

And you didn't actually get given your degree certificate, you had crawl naked over broken glass to collect it from a sadistic gibbon who'd pretend to give it you, then stab you in the eye with a frozen slice of lemon instead.

And you think you had it hard....:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
