Another thing was that I later found out that one of my examiners was a lecturer who'd failed me <I>twice</I> for essays at undergraduate level (admittedly, it was during my "I hate my Arts degree" phase). Yet another thing was that they both favoured my final chapter as the strongest of the three. It was written in the two days before the paper was due - I spent about three months on my first, a month on my second, and two days on the third. What gives?<BR/><BR/>Marks don't mean all that much. It's nice to get first class honours and all... but as I learnt, that's not the be all and end all. I got first class and still missed out on a scholarship the first time round. Also, I'm not sure what Curtin is like compared to UWA at honours level, but it seems like getting a really, REALLY good mark for your thesis is quite easy - which makes up for not-so-good marks earlier on in the honours year :)Erinhttp://erinstudies.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
