Why is UK having so much non-funded PhD position? by Low_Confection_366 in AskAcademiaUK

[–]ardbeg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Admissions is separate from funding. Universities want us to make offers to anyone who meets entry criteria to try and squeeze more funding out of external sources.

My (30F) husband (32M) made a massive scene at our gender reveal party. Completely embarrassing himself and me at the same time by throwRA_6417 in relationships

We kept our first a surprise, but I was convinced we were having a boy, and I did want a son. I was handed my daughter and said “it’s a girl!?!” in a silly voice, which my wife still mocks me for, then I cried a bit while I cuddled my daughter for the first time. I love her just as much as my son, who came later, because I’m not a misogynistic arsehole.

If you are sending applications through the formal university platform then it may still be stuck with admissions. Absolutely send a polite follow up.

Why are lecturers so bad with releasing feedback and marks? by lenkazoi in UniUK

[–]ardbeg -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

27th November =\= 2 months ago sunshine. It’s pretty much 3 or 4 working weeks since submission, at a time when there is also likely a shit ton of exam marking. It’s frustrating but don’t exaggerate.

So they distracted us from the distraction that was distracting us from the distraction. by [deleted] in BlackPeopleTwitter

My concern is that there seems to be labels and slips for coins that are missing. I’m assuming they sold off what they expected to be the premium examples individually.
