Assessment Marking

I’m usually pretty good with any comments I get back for any Assessment at Uni, I’m not a brilliant person, I get pretty average marks, and I accept that. And I always try to take on board any comments that I get back and try to apply any suggestions in my next assessment.

This is the first time I’ve ever had to complain!

I got a Pass- one column above a FAIL on the criteria sheet…

For starters, the marker was not any staff I know, and it was a prety big surprise to get a random marking my work.

He marked 5 errors in my essay. One of which was incorrect on his behalf, as I had referenced a website and he said I needed a page number, which, by the university referencing guide says you dont do, AND there is no page number on a website!

So make that 4 errors.

He said that I should try proof reading my work…. He wrote 7 sentances of comments and he had eveidently not proof read! He had words wrong, and he wasnt using malapropism!!

He also said I need to use a referencing system- which I did, Harvard system to the letter, and Harvard is the course requirement. And I’ve been using Harvard since year 8, and I did social study subjects- so all I’ve really ever done is research and essays and reports- which is my strength and so that’s why Im upset with this mark.

I’ve emailed my actually lecturer…

Just really annoyed. And he could have given me better feedback.

With his whole 5 errors he told me that didn’t sound formal enough, I have to proof read, that I shouldnt use wikipedia (okay guilty I know they aren’t reliable-my bad), that I need a referencing system and that he couldnt understand my quotes - hello its the sentances in quotation marks, indented at exactly 2cm left and right and justified! with the publication details!!!- and that it was satisfactory.

 

I’m just not impressed with his marking. 5 errors gets me a pass?

 

Wedding Dancing

All the wedding talk of late, and no one reminded me about dancing!

This is a problem, as i haven’t partner danced in about 4 years….AND, i pointed out to my boyfriend, he has two left feet. So we’re still discussing sacrificing the dance and staying together at the table…OR….slow dancing, its just rocking really, and risk crushing eachothers feet…..i think we’re going to risk broken feet….=P

 When’s the last time you partner danced? Was it a good memory or an embarrassing story? Do share!….

Bridal Party!

Im heading off to my friends wedding next weekend, I’ve known the date since she got engaged, I have myoutfit planned, (yet to get shoes-wil ldo next week there are on hold) my hairs been cut and my boyfriend has booked his time off so he can come up for it =)

I’ve been so prepared for the wedding I forgot the Bridal Party for tonight! Normally I’d probably jump up and pull out all my stuff, because i have a lot of clothes, but still nothign to wear =P but im so exhausted from study this week im just sitting on the bed listening to some music…

My mother and sister are of course flapping around, but I have about 7 hours till I have to be there…so plenty of time!

Anyway, I know I’m going in jeans (against mums wishes, because that’s all i really wear), but I can dress them up =)

Upper Ear Piercing?

Hey All,

Okay I’ve decided to get an upper ear stud in my left ear..

Who knows what I should do to make sure i get a good one?

 I’m terrified of shattering my cartiledge or getting badly infected, or goign through alot of pain. I have two sets or earrings in my lobes, I felt no pain whatsoever with them. The firsts got infected whenever i put cheap earrings in, i can only wear nickle free earrings. The seconds took about 3 months to heal, i took them out for soccer 2 months after getting them and they started pouring blood. So i know i have to give any of my peircings heaps of time and good quality earrings.

Now i’ve heard you can get it done with a gun or a needle, i know the gun is quick easy and so far pain free…but will it shatter my ear? i’m slightly anxious with the whole needle in, needle out, earring in episode…especially as i dont deal with lasting pain to well, so maybe i should take something before hand?

and do i go to a hairdresser? chemist? tatooist?

i hear cosmetics plus is good if in a busy area, but i do want Quality!!

If anythign goes wrong (califlower ear, realy bad infections etc) im going to get the ‘I told you so’ form dad =S

 

So any comments would be awesome!

Hullo

Hullo….

my nook is really just about me getting some opinions and ideas and sharing my thoughts online to randoms… so should be fun ..
