Degree classification

2i

Final marks

My last semester grades were:
59, 62 and 64

So overall:
Project:61
First year average: 67
Second year average: 65
Third year average: 64

My tutor didn't tell me my classification over email but its obvious I guess. I think I'm at least pleased with my consistency in my results, though year 3 should have been better.

Looking forward to July 20!
Starting work tomorrow. WoO!

Job Offer

Hey.

Well I've been in Reading for 10 days- I don't think that's too bad going.

The company is Cirrus Software based in Marlow, Buckinghamshire. A very nice part of the world.

They're paying 18.5 and they are offering training, bonuses and the opportunity to go to Sydney for 2-3 weeks in the next year and a half!

I'll put up my classification next week.

Enjoy the weekend!

Exams are over. Uni is over.

Good morning.

This morning I woke up to the (extremely) weird feeling of not feeling guilty for taking the night off after a few cheeky ones in the faversham followed by spending the evening in the terrace. It was good to relax after my last exam.

As for my project I am going to try and get more extensive feedback from Kevin and Derek. However, my grades were mainly 11s and 12s with a 15 for the quality of report write up/reflection.

Mainly marks were lost for evaluation which apparently didn't flow to recommendations. The other problem was not investigating a complex range of solutions as I apparently selected what was convenient (I think was the comment), which is disappointing because I felt I was very restricted in choice. The evaluation consisted of three elements and I had to go and interview about 7-8 different people followed by hours of analysis and write up trying to contain it in 6-8 pages (so 11 is slightly annoying not even reaching the 2.1 bracket).

Anyway- I needed 50 on the remaining exams to score 60.7 for the year. I hope I've done that.

I'm going to catch up with family for the rest of this week then the job hunt starts next Monday when I get to Reading.

Have a good week and enjoy the weather!
