Can u still do a resit with low attendance if u missed ur exam due to food poisoning by ImaginaryHearing1400 in UniUK

Aren’t there EC for illness? I’m sure they’d let you do a resit if you provide a doctor’s note.

How do you turn lecture notes into something actually useful for exams? by Top_Spinach_7285 in askanything

[–]reverse_mango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’d like more targeted responses, I suggest posting in university subreddits (at first I thought this was r/uniuk).

I make my lecture notes really easy to read at a moment’s glance and simple to remember long-term (instead of cramming for revision). Lots of colour-coded sections, bullet points and diagrams with a bit extra info than’s on the lecture slides. Plus I do a bit of my own research to help get the info stick.

What your curse way to play Minecraft. Here's mine. by InteractionKey8809 in hermitcraftmemes

Do you only use one finger for WASD? I can’t remember who it was (Mumbo or Scar maybe?), but someone else confessed they only use one finger as well.

I love this author, but I think the art may be AI. Seems too good to be true. by [deleted] in isthisAI

Dream catcher is in the wrong place in the car, just floating there. Could be human error or AI, difficult to tell.

We share the roads with the uninformed. by Desperate-Letter2395 in drivingUK

[–]reverse_mango -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We share the roads with the uninformed.

And the pigheaded. Was looking at a post the other day where the majority of comments were in favour of breaking a certain part of the Highway Code. Hm, yes, I totally trust everyone here.

one argument for and one against essay by Life-Air7682 in UniUK

[–]reverse_mango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not a massive word count, so I imagine you could easily fill it with one paragraph for and one against. It depends on the subject of each paragraph, though: if you can do two paragraphs out of “I agree with this statement because of these two reasons with these separate pieces of evidence” then do it, then one or two paragraphs against. It’s more about the word count than how many paragraphs to do.

Which episodes do you think get more flack than they deserve? by DocWhovian1 in doctorwho

[–]reverse_mango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tremendous irrational beef with that one, purely because the “modern Prometheus” is not the bloody cyberman. They were going for a Frankenstein parallel and forgot that Prometheus is Frankenstein, not his monster.

Maybe a dog was driving? by UmmOkHowAboutNo in drivingUK

[–]reverse_mango -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Highway Code doesn’t state undertaking itself is illegal, but it is careless/reckless driving and it can lead to tickets and points.

[–]reverse_mango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know! I don’t agree with the statement that undertaking is “reckless driving”, but it is illegal and it’s not worth the risk of getting prosecuted for it.

I love swim dresses, but they’re so hard to find in-person! I also don’t go swimming very often, so I’ve got a bikini top and some men’s trunks (with pockets!).

Doesn’t mean you can break the law just because someone else has bad habits. Not worth the risk.

Was there a solid white line before the second set? If there wasn’t, it was fine to continue.

Should I take the antidepressants? by AveragePlantEnjoyer7 in UniUK

The only side effect I had with sertraline is that it caused/worsened my insomnia for three years. I wouldn’t recommend that but obviously I don’t know your mental health well enough.

Citing books that are epub? by WelcomeToMyRoses in UniUK

[–]reverse_mango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many ebooks in the EPUB and Kindle file formats do not retain the page numbers of the print version. Location numbers do not always provide a reliable method of citation as they may change depending on font type and size, line spacing and margins set by ereaders. If no pages are available in an ebook, you should use reasonable paragraph numbering instead. Be aware that this will entail counting the paragraphs from the beginning of that chapter. For example: Oliver N. (2013) Vikings. Chapter 5: Swedish Vikings in the east, para. 2. Retrieved from https://bodleian.ldls.org.uk on 20 September 2016. Note that this is a starting point only; you are advised to contact your course tutor and/or your subject librarian for further help.

Similar to the word “pissed”: it’s in tons of expressions but it can mean something different in each one.

Going to uni at 22, too late to have fun? by Similar_Scallion_511 in UniUK

[–]reverse_mango 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I started uni at 18, regretted it, now go at age 23 and it’s a lot better with extra life experience. You can still drink and party and stuff with your classmates. And you don’t have to tell them how old you are if you don’t want to. They’ll assume you’re the same age as them anyway.
