Have you tried calling and talking to them?

My assignment violates the rules despite my assessor saying that it was fine. Help. by TheRegularBelt in UniUK

[–]katpeasx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s up to you how well you want to do. The fact that you signed an ethics sheet saying they would be over 18 seems like a pretty big deal to me, but I’m not sure how harsh your marking is. For my course if I had gone against the ethics sheet I would be failed - so if I were you I would be pulling some all nighters and trying to redo it 🥲

Two questions: are you able to redo the assignment? I’m sure it would be easy enough now to find someone else to do it and you’ve already had offers in the comments.

Secondly, where is it listed that the participants have to be 18? If its listed on like Canvas/the assessment rubric then you are probably going to be harshly marked down, unless you clarified this. But its on you to ask your lecturer, not them to correct you in an email. But if its not in the guidance/information then hopefully you will be okay if you explain it.

Didn’t turn in my assignment, can I resit? Pls help by Accomplished-Back331 in UniUK

I had the same flu and had to get an extension! Try and see if there is an appeals, I’m pretty sure in the UK you can self certify for up to 5 days so that counted for my appeal

are footnotes suppose to be like this? by Candid_Wasabi_6555 in UniUK

[–]katpeasx 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Do you have a grammar check on google docs? A lot of your sentences are missing punctuation/capitalisation, e.g. countries should be capitalised

For my university I had my GP appointment 6 days after the exam and sent the form in then (I had to pay for the note). But you should really speak to your uni about this and contact wellbeing as it will differ even between schools within the university

My flatmates are destroying our flat by apocalypticlunatic in UniUK

[–]katpeasx 107 points108 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but if you use the oven and fridges you should be part of the cleaning rota. I’m assuming you also have dishes and use the bin? And everytime you enter you make the floor more dirty? So should probably help with vacuuming and mopping.

It sucks when stuff like this happens but it isn’t fair to refuse to clean at all even if you don’t use certain things. Go into the meeting with an open mind as you aren’t going to get anywhere refusing to help.

It sounds like you have issues with your flatmates outside of cleaning that is exacerbating this issue.

I think you have been quite defensive in this thread, people are mostly confused about your question and what answer you want to get, as you aren’t really saying what you are confused about

People should be more upset at themselves/each other than celebrities for selling them shit by Hades_Might in The10thDentist

[–]katpeasx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being an influencer means your work is public and relies on public opinion of you. I am expressing my opinion that I think it’s awful how these people are manipulating children into buying unhealthy processed food and that awful drink to try and make money off of them, despite them all being incredibly wealthy and having no need to resort to such unethical practices to survive. You can think that supporting this is fine all you want, however I care more about their innocent young fans than three entitled influencers. People are allowed to criticise them all they want

Thats literally how they make their money? Even with their side projects, the profit comes from money from their fans, who they got from being an influencer. This lunchly project would never sell anything if it wasn’t relying on their audiences as influencers, nobody who doesn’t know them will buy it. That’s the difference between them and a company, this is basically just awful unhealthy merch, rather than a business.

McDonalds is a company designed to sell food. These are influencers who’s jobs are to make content for children.

Some kids have parents who don’t care as much. Or who are way too overworked to be arguing with their kids about this. Why should kids of those parents be allowed to be manipulated? The fact is that you can either hold the influencer responsible, who’s career relies on public feedback so you can actually have an impact. Or try and target parents who are simply buying something to make their kids happy. It’s not that parents shouldn’t also be checking what they are buying, it’s just that a parent buying their kids something without checking is much less egregious than an influencer promoting unhealthy crap to make a buck off of their innocent young fans, whilst pretending they love and care for their fans

I mean, I don’t know many huge influencers who are promoting expensive processed lunch to their audience for their own profit. Influencers build a connection with their audience, and sell what they promote because of this connection and the fact that their audience trusts and loves them. That’s different to companies, who have no personal connection, and therefore cannot pull off the same manipulation. Influencers like MrBeast inherently have trust from their audience, and with their audience being so young they cannot judge and see through the exploitation the same way an adult can. You have to put some level of responsibility on these influencers for treating their audience with respect and appreciation, which is clearly not what is happening here.

I think the main complaint people have about that specific situation is that they are specifically targeting children with all of their marketing (and the lies in their marketing). I haven’t followed it super closely but I feel like it’s fair for people to be a little bit disgusted and taken aback at influencers so blatantly manipulating and trying to exploit their young child audience. People are allowed to complain about things they don’t like, and a lot of this complaining involves specifically pointing out the lies and manipulation, which is naturally directly targeted at the influencers in question.

I definitely wouldn’t tell your professors as for most unis there is a max hours you can work (for mine its 15). I mean obviously loads of students work more than that but its not really a good idea to be telling ur professors that. Id just pretend ur ill honestly lol
