I'm seriously looking forward to my master's year

60/120 credits is one full time 10 week project investigating some gamma ray observations that my supervisor has

i agree, thinking about how great grad school will be makes my dick hard. going right into a phd program at some prestigious school for neuroscience and getting paid omg

[QUOTE=AG;17982406]Just finished a degree in Media, Communication and Cultural studies. That I hated with a passion.


What do you want to do as a masters?[/QUOTE]

Shame about that. See it through for the sake of it?


Sort of the problem - I'm not sure.

Audio Tech - Probably too technical.
Performing and Composition - Not an appealing prospect.
Composing for Television and Film - Rather appealing, but I'm not sure I'd be up to it.
Music Management - Interesting, but not something I'd want to do a Masters in.

In short, it seems as though I like the idea more than anything else. I'll probably discuss my options with someone at the university.

Yeah, I finished it because I didn't want to come out of 2-3 years with nothing. I'd rather have a 3rd than nothing.

I doubt any employers will see much difference

are you a physicist?

yes I am

music therapy bro

that would be hilarious

**** yeah.

But no.

Maybe do a PhD in ethnomusicology by doing a paper examining the musical tastes of the four cultures is my surrounding area.

For everyone else, sorry, that's something of an in-joke.

House, Techno, Grime and Dubstep?

[QUOTE=Bruce E Kinesis;17983342]House, Techno, Grime and Dubstep?[/QUOTE]

Could probably lump House and Techno together and then include Modern R&B.

Also, House M.D. could stand more 303.

What with all your experience in the field?

I was extrapolating from friends with maths degrees that have trouble getting job [I]interviews [/I]because they only have 2.2s

That's awesome; far too awesome for my own health.

reminds me of a shirt I have

I just applied for a Carpentry apprenticeship starting in October. Fingers crossed.

They'll be impressed by your dedication to your previous studies

I think they may be inpressed that I've not been out of employment for longer than 2 months (whilst gaining qualifications) since I was 16.

Do you work, moaner?

I work summers, physics degrees are pretty full time tbh

We don't get 'holidays' at christmas or easter we get revision time and during the week it ends up the equivalent of 9-5 once you do your homework

Same here in electronic engineering. Except our hours ARE 9-5 all year aside from wednesdays....

And we're expected to do nearly as many hours work when we're at home. A mate of mine calculated how many hours that would be left free if we did exactly the amount of hours we 'should' do and it turned out we'd get 3 hours free a month or something ridiculous like that.

Considering how badly our department is organised it's pretty much impossible to get that many hours work done anyway.

I'm sure it does all add up.

Truth is, a lot of the time the lecturers refuse/are so retarded at teaching and won't put examples on Blackboard ( you used that AG?), this kinda place for uploading course info + documents.

It's kinda funny considering we're in a department full of engineers and computer scientists, and they're the LEAST willing to provide course materials digitally.

Even the fu[SIZE=2]ck[/SIZE]ing language students are ahead of us with that, what with them RECORDING LECTURES and putting them on blackboard. The bastards don't even need to go into uni.

It's an absolute pisstake.

/is particularly pissed off because of an exam in 3 days that, for half of it, NO-ONE knows what we're supposed to do because of a particuarly terrible lecturer.

Oh man, the physicists are so on the ball when it comes to blackboard. Of my last three courses, two put up all their notes and all their slides and all their problem sheets and answers, and one, a nearly retired guy who works only on the blackboard, went round with a digital camera after every lecture, took photos of every board and uploaded those.

I will Never hesistate to recommend my department to people, even if the uni itself is run by a bunch of ****ing idiots.

Lucky. We've onlygot one guy who keeps things in order on blackboard, and even then there's things missing. Last year was ridiculous, one lecturer starting uploading notes for a different course run bysomeone else o.O

All we seem to get is feedback forms at the end of the year, and the complaints from students are always the same - assignments too clumped together and too many, teachers are crap, no-one uses blackboard enough...

Truth is they get ignored massively. I seriously hope next year when it's all optional modules, they get their act together.

Blackboard is an OK system - what really vexed me was when a lecturer wanted an online hand in [I]and[/I] a physical.

Most of my lecturers were crap, they would just read the slides with little/no elaboration and then upload the slides to BB. In the end I stopped going to lectures and just read the slides in my own time.

Blackboard saved my life, well, my degree at least.

We had one asshole of a lecturer though, he was an absolute cunt, he was so bad they've taken him out of lecturing. They got too many complains and the results from his classes were so bad.

I agree they should just deal with it, but for us at least there was a reason for this: the physical was for marking, and the digital was for a plagiarism check.

MOP: they take our questionairres pretty seriously tbh, and they let us know what they're changing based on our feedback.

I just ordered a carvin ct6 in tigers eye

I don't like those stripey finishes at the best of times but why oh why do they think it's ok to have such a clear seam?

I agree, it's ugly when the sides don't match.
