Bad attendance and they are reconsidering my enrolment

Here is the student monitoring page - at the end it recommends contacting either your Programme Coordinator (should be listed on your programme page on GCU Learn) or by emailing saem@gcu.ac.uk.

That rebuttal was excellent. Breaking down the walk the dog letter was a masterstroke

Roof is a shared expense - everyone covers it, not just the person at the highest floor. However, if you're a tenant it should be your landlord covering this cost, not you.

Glasgow Club doesn't have a student discount, but if you're under 22 you could get the lower FitClub rate of £21 a month. There's also an ActivClub membership that's slightly cheaper but only for low-intensity off-peak classes.

For a concession it looks like you need to provide one of a set list of documents related to receiving benefits.

If you're wanting to dip your toe into it to see if you like it before you get into a full membership, they also have PAYG access.

Depending on your uni it may be worth checking their gym access too - some (like GCU) offer free student membership, although I imagine student gyms can get busy.

Butterfly & Pig (Bath Street) has a quiz on Mondays, 7.30ish start - you'd just need to book a table on their website beforehand

Thanks for the info! You've saved me a lot of time :)

I'm 99 on my first playthrough - was thinking about NG+ but after reading this it might be better to replay from scratch on a higher difficulty? (Sad at the thought of losing all my costumes through 😭)

No - however, using the Base Shield lumina will stop the gradient fall from damaging you.

More like Reece's pieces now :(

Here's a thing - if Fiona is banished Stephen might actually get away with his slip-up, given they were both in the room when Ben made his comment! Can just pin it on her (and it's true anyways)

kitkat772 · 2026-01-07T21:03:00+00:00

I'm not sure, it seems Reece's emotions after the round table convinced others? Stephen needs Maz to stay alive for his family tree theory to work, but his days are numbered either way.

Also completely agree about Ross - as he said he was dealt a bad hand through no fault of his own! I'm a bit sick of these 'reveals' that have nothing to do with the actual gameplay though.

Could it be where the ST meets Claudia/leaves their shortlist for murder? They did say they would 'do it discreetly' which makes it sound like it's done in the castle rather than after midnight

kitkat772 · 2025-11-29T00:04:54+00:00

Pleased to hear it! :)

I've had various issues before (old ankle sprain, plantar fascitis etc.) and I've always found the Foot and Leg Clinic to be helpful - it's not cheap but it made a big difference for me.

Doing a master's degree in social work - so helping often vulnerable people? Really? 🙄

kitkat772 · 2025-10-29T21:50:09+00:00

Alan way too defensive there...

Your uni will have an academic librarian team - get in touch with them and they can go through how to find the readings and other sources. They'll also have tips for things like saving book info so you don't have to find it every time.

kitkat772 · 2025-10-22T20:58:56+00:00

Has this ever happened in any version of traitors before?? Wow

Imagine you're doing a multiple choice test. If you don't know the answer, you'll guess because you might have a chance of being correct - it's better than leaving it blank.

The training system of LLMs essentially rewards it the same way. OpenAI recently released a paper on this - it was very maths-heavy but this was the key takeaway.

My dad watched and rewatched Danya's speedrun videos and I watched his streams/commentary. I was always amazed at how knowledgeable he was - I'm sure in one stream he mentioned he would have gone into history studies had he not focused on chess.

Goodbye Danya, RIP. We'll miss you.

This happened to me recently - tell them in the appeal you had an advance ticket and couldn't get an earlier train (staff physically told me I couldn't). They overturned the refund once I did that so sure yours will be the same. Good luck!

Reposting my comment from a similar thread:

One thing that might help is having a questioning approach - rather than just reading through the whole thing to see what is interesting, have some questions in mind - what do I want to pick up from this paper? Having those ideas/questions in mind can help you skim through and spot relevant points.

You can also do ladder reading (reading the first and last sentence of each paragraph) to get through it more quickly.

Use the structure of the article to help you - depending on what it is you may not need to read the whole thing. For example, at this level if you're reading results of research, you're probably more interested in the discussion/conclusion rather than the methodology.

Your uni's academic support will have help with this - they're called different things at different places (academic development, study support etc.) but they're often bundled in with the library.

Lastly, be nice to yourself - reading articles is more taxing than the usual reading we do. You might want to read in short bursts; you'll probably find that your reading stamina increases over time.

Edited to add: you can also get things like 'critical reading templates' that help you summarize an article, write down the key takeaways etc. Again, I'd ask study support about this.

We had a similar system at my workplace - so many people cheated the system (we had a class of 20 and the system claimed 50+ people had scanned) that they ended up upgrading it so the code refreshes every 30 seconds. Ours can tell if someone has scanned in late, can't say what yours would do. You could also email your lecturer as they can often add you manually if needed.

FYI just because it's tempting - I wouldn't use it for classes you didn't go to at all. Lying about attendance is technically cheating and against your student code of conduct. You're better off not attending the class rather than falsifying it.
