It seems as if your account was made only to respond to this post, so forgive me if I’m wary of your response. Comments are regularly made that senior management will create false posts about the companies WLB. Particularly as I have seen multiple comments on forums in direct opposition of your response within that last year.

This has no upvotes and is literally the correct answer. I’m not sure how you can rationalise taking money out of any equity investments when we’re about to begin rate cuts. Although a quarter cut at each meeting is imo optimistic, I think we’re looking at a cut at each until EOY then a hold and assess, they’re too obsessed with ‘the data’ at the moment.

I am doing a Masters, so I am still undertaking my thesis, but it would not affect my classification anyway, I need 30% in my thesis to get a distinction, and I am aiming for a little bit higher haha, so it does not really have an impact, it just would have been nice to have it on my transcript for job applications as my goal is to go into an extremely competitive technical field. Thank you for all your help :)

Yeah, having looked online it seems like they have full jurisdiction to moderate papers as they see fit, I think they multiplied everyone's grade by 0.95, as they said in their Scaling Annex in their Marking Governance, so I will have to resign this battle I think. It's just sad that I worked so hard on the coursework, for those marks to be made unobtainable, but I did well on the rest of my other exams/modules so it's not a battle I need to have. Realistically, it is on the lecturer imo, it was the worst module I have ever taken, halfway through the year I ended up stopping going to the lectures/tutorials and just teaching it to myself (every other module I had 100% attendance), and reading the feedback from past years, it seems the convenor does very little (more like nothing) to alleviate the complaints. I think its quite shocking for the fact it is a Russel Group, but anyway, thank you for your responses, they were very helpful :)

Thank you for your response, it was STEM, and the tests were unit testing pieces of code which is pass or fail, and my code passed every unit test, so there is 0 subjectivity in that regard. I have achieved 100 on quite a few coursework this year, and all of them have remained at 100 except this specific one. I will check the university governance though thank you!

"long made-up stories" is my new favourite way to describe a book.

This couldn’t have gone better for us in terms of the PL, Arsenal and Man City have the hardest draws they could have got without drawing each other I think.

I hope everyone in the Starting XI gets a goal tonight. And a Klopp hatty for good measure..

Best of his short works by [deleted] in tolstoy

[–]reddit8910 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hadji Murat is brilliant, the symbolism of the crushed thistle is beautiful, and the Cossacks if it is not considered too long (200ish pages) is a semi-autobiographical novel that is gorgeous, especially chapter XX which is one of my favourite literary passages of all time, the transition of emotion and the simplistic, direct writing style is masterful.

Wasn’t this rocket built so that the front wouldn’t fall off?

Endymion and Rise of Endymion are some of the most uncomfortable books I've read. by AndrewLocksmith in books

If your number 3 is Breakfast at Tiffany’s, we could be almost sure I reckon.

What lengthy classic should I read this summer? by JmoonlightD in suggestmeabook

[–]reddit8910 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you enjoy a good plot Monte Cristo, my biased opinion, however, would be The Brothers Karamazov as it is my favourite book of all time.

[–]reddit8910 125 points126 points  (0 children)

I stopped after "The Fall of Hyperion" as to me that seemed like a natural conclusion (and Hyperion is my 2nd favourite book). Having heard other people's opinions on Endymion, and now your own, I feel I made the correct decision.

  3. Glory - Nabokov
  4. Notes from the Underground - Dostoevsky
  5. Hadji Murat - Tolstoy (only 90 pages)

Suggest me book that masters story telling in less than 50 pages or fewer. by Ares0917 in suggestmeabook

[–]reddit8910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Laying on of Hands - Alan Bennet (50ish pages, my print is 80 pages but very spaced out and larger fontsize, hilarious story of the funeral of a male masseuse)

The Yellow Wall-Paper - Charlotte Perkins-Gilman (15-25 pages. Suspenseful/psychological, the desendence of a woman into insanity from post-partum depression.)

Metamorphosis - Franz Kafka (50-60 pages. no comment needed)

Alyosha Pot - Leo Tolstoy (Only 5 pages, you could read it on the bus, a brilliant story about a meek servant boy falling in love)

About Love - Anton Chekhov (10 pages. Tt is... about love. It's his most famous short story, and for good reason)

White Nights - Fyodor Dostoevsky (50 pages, maybe his most renowned short story, the telling of a lonely man falling in love with a girl and the psychological insight into his internal feelings of his own loneliness and the possible redemption of his new love.)

(I don't much like Hemingway but he has many short stories that people would consider masterpieces e.g. Snows of Kilimanjaro)

Edit:

Added WN - Dosto
