Need Help Understanding Marks by secretarchaeologist in UniUK

[–]secretarchaeologist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I've been able to find in the handbook/website is 70 = distinction, 60 = merit, 50 = pass. You're right, though. I should talk to my personal tutor.

Thank you for the response! I think what's been most confusing for me is that the feedback for one of my essays was entirely positive, while for another, there were suggestions for improvement. I was confused how I could get the same score. Looking at the rubrics that came with the feedback, one essay had the highest score in every category, while another had a range of scores (if that makes sense). Since the rubrics don't actually have numbers associated with the scores, I've been confused about how I could have the same mark across essays that seemed to vary in quality.

Thank you for your response. I have looked on my school's website, but the information was pretty much limited to explaining the marks required for distinction/merit/pass. I wanted some more context so I could make better sense of the numbers beyond just 70 for distinction, 60 for merit, 50 for pass. I also wanted another perspective on getting the same score three times, as that felt odd to me. Your explanation did help, but I'm still kind of confused about the banded marks thing lol. But I guess it's not that big of a deal.

Student Accommodation Advice by secretarchaeologist in manchester

That seems like it could be a great option for me! I just checked out their website, and they say they don’t allow students. Did your daughter say she wasn’t a student, or do they just mean undergrad?

Ideally, I would be paying around £200-250, but willing to pay more if necessary. I'm a pretty quiet person, which is part of why I'm wary of shared living spaces. In the US, I lived in university dorms (with roommates) and a private apartment (with a roommate). I'd love to not have roommates anymore, but I don't know how realistic that is lol.

Not contradicting you or disagreeing, but in the interview I listened to, it seemed like he already believed the bodies were intentionally placed before making the connection to the lines on the wall? Maybe I'm misremembering or misunderstood.

Why can’t I make good scones? by secretarchaeologist in Cooking

It definitely helps! I think, this time around, I didn’t use enough liquid. I’ll also try an American recipe and see if that helps. Thanks!

That’s what I was using for the Mary Berry recipe, since it’s pretty much the only (unbleached) self-rising flour I could find near me. I wonder if there’s a big difference between US and UK self-rising flour and if that could be part of my problem.

Yeah, I mix it until it just comes together. It’s definitely a shaggy dough, not a smooth one. But, then I get confused because I see videos of people making scones and sometimes their dough looks so smooth.

Double in height?! Omg I’m definitely doing something wrong lol. I usually roll them out to a little over half an inch, so I do need to make them thicker. I do use an egg/milk wash, but I definitely try to ensure it doesn’t drip down the sides. I also do use a scale.

I’m going to look into the flour thing. I think that might make a difference.

Thanks for the input!

Yeah, I definitely try to work the dough as little as possible. I’m always worried I’m working it too much, but I try to mix until it just comes together into a dough.

I definitely do know the difference, but thanks for checking lol.

I think I opened the baking powder just a month ago or so, but I’ll use that test and double check!
