There's been this massive hooha about our drug comparison essay marks. Every one's suddenly wanting to complain because they've gotten low marks, which they feel they didn't deserve. The basis of their complaints come in the form of, ''we disagree with your harsh marking and think that you should have given us more guidance as to what you were expecting''
Now, with all due respect students with low marks, it was made quite clear (in my opinion) what he wanted from this essay. We spent THREE WHOLE LECTURES discussing what to include, how to include it and what to do if data wasn't available. Has everyone suddenly forgotten about this? It irritates me when people who expect to get high marks get low marks and then turn around and say ''why did YOU get a higher mark than me?'' OH WELL BITCH, MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE I ACTUALLY FOLLOWED THE CRITERIA AND DIDN'T INSERT IRRELEVANT BOLLOCKS INTO MY ESSAY, LIKE YOU.
Jeez. They just don't let up. I should probably mention here that it was actually one of my friends who I was having this argument with. I don't know why she always thinks she's more deserving of marks than me. Just because I spend like a day writing an essay and come out with 75% and she spends a month on it and comes out with 50%, doesn't make her more worthy of marks. Regardless of how much effort I put into my work, the point is, I don't fuck about. I just write what I need to write, i.e. what they can actually award marks for. I don't digress into meaningless shit like she does. I know because I've read her essay.
Sometimes I don't even know how I became friends with someone so full of themselves. She doesn't rule the fucking world, not everyone has to succumb to her taunts. Perhaps it'd be a good idea for her to look at her own mistakes before blindly exclaiming that she is always right.
RANT OVER.
