Ad Lib Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Glasgow has been shut. The only building on campus still open is the GUU. Bizarre decision as it's just a stiff gale. Nothing out of the ordinary. We have a group report due in... tomorrow. So we have no access to the library to get it done/printed out. Bit of a pain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Strathclyde's closed today I should say, I believe the uni's still open it's just the classes that are cancelled. Cancelled on the only day I'm in at 9am and thus didn't have enough time to check facebook/email which would've told me it was cancelled 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a definate extension if ever there was one. In these situations don't they have a saying "No student shall be disadvantaged...."? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraser_smfc Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I'm doing Human Resource Management. It's quite interesting, especially with variety from the classes within the course. I quite like the organisational psychology part and my Higher in psychology has certainly made it a lot easier to grasp than I expected. Next semester it looks like we will be applying it to actual business examples rather than just the theory of it and the papers from psychologists. It's got a mix of pretty much everything in it. Politics, economics, psychology and obviously general management science theory. That sounds quite a good course actually. Learning about the modern business environment whilst not having to take a Business Management degree. Hope you're enjoying it. I'm feeling nothing but relief just now. The hardest out of my 4 exams is over with. I was genuinely thinking last night it was a write-off but the questions were quite kind so I'm hoping it's at least a pass, which is all I'm after. But we'll see. 2 down, next one's not til Tuesday so I've got a bit of time to get the next 2 studied. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd hope so. We've tried to contact the course co-ordinator but nothing yet. I don't know if you know Jim Murdoch but essentially he could be out of the country for all we know. He's not the most organised of people... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrysnotter Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Is there such a thing as an organised academic? Send an e-mail, not asking for an extension, but stating that you are taking an extension. Any problems, a cheeky wee e-mail to the head of department will sort things out. And, you'll get the added bonus of upsetting your course co-ordinator. To be honest, at undergrad that isn't the approach I would have taken. But, at post grad I took great pleasure in pissing folk off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone already asked if an extension would be given, and the reply from the course co-ordinator was essentially "dunno. I might hear from my superiors" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 First essay returned, which is worth 40% of the particular module. Got a mark of 75 which means I need only to turn up and engage with the seen paper next Friday to claim a first class mark from the module. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
