lol. Had a funny experience, got D for a project. The course ended with the project and had two lecturers for the course. One lecturer and one prof. Wrote to the lecturer copying the professor about possible error in my grade. She replied with my score for each section. Thanked her and told her something seems off as I still don’t accept the mark from the prof section. Prof was planning vacation so wasn’t replying mail. Lecturer replied and said the reason I got a low score was cos I submitted an empty file.

I replied her apologizing for wasting her time when i submitted an empty file. Prof replied and said he was impressed with how I handled the situation citing “student of this age don’t address issue in that manner”. He said he will remark my project if I could prove that it’s the same file I submitted. I agreed and he set up a zoom meeting.

He called, I shared my screen, opened file, we matched date and time I submitted the first file. Everything was same. Went thru file location and when we confirmed it was same. He watched me move that file to him. We chatted for over 30mins, he talked about how students were well behaved during his time (I believe he’s in his 80’s or 90’s). Long story short: Man marked script and I got a B.

I believe the context for contesting and how you present your contest will determine the outcome . Not forgetting that there are also lecturers here (like in Naij) who thinks no one should get an A (except God) 😂🤣😅

They say A is for them, while the rest can be battled for! Imagine

Prof. Elueze (RIP)

He was a genius but the man tough die.

Looks like Australia wants to reduce student population (the restrictions they put in place arent that stringent compared to our Ogas at the top) but increase numbers for skilled workers

Skills in demand visa, processing time rumoured to be 1 week

1. I don’t think so, lately (in the last 1yr), I have not been using binance daily. I believe maybe once or twice in a month. I just transfer USDT there to buy coins to hold for long or to do Naira P2P. I use Gate.io for daily trading and not as UK resident. Opened it with Naija details and document so I left it that way, when they prompted to confirm location I ignored.

2. If I am being honest, I don’t know anyone who gets taxed for crypto as at right now. There’s always been lots of talk around it, but I don’t think it’s been implemented. That said, I believe you will only be taxed if there are evidence to proof that you are into trading coins. Hence, why I avoid UK P2P or selling coins for pounds in any form.

3. Uphold is an exchange site that buys crypto for pounds and offer different forms to using your crypto for daily expenses ( like crypto master cards). I have never used them, but someone introduced them on here some years back and recently @abuhusna1 suggested it again.

Thanks

Application for school placement is open. Try to apply early so as to stand a high chance of your child getting placement. Also you can apply even if you don’t live in the council right now, but have plans to live there before August 2024.

If you apply before March, you will get your response by the end of March. If you apply later, then you don enter battle of the earliest.

Don’t know who need to hear this, but I don do the lords work this morning be that. 😀

Well, you can. I did not go through the SU, tried to do it myself

In my own case, I followed the assistant lecturer's verbal advice and removed a part of my writeup. A friend who had a similar topic with me used what I removed and had a sexy A (I gave him an outline of what I was planning to write).

Sent them a mail pointing out that I was advised to remove some parts which would have helped me but "No evidence, I explain tire". They just told me the exams board would look into it blah blah. The board did not look into it or change their decision so I just let it go

Schools are different and yours may turn out in your favor. No harm in trying wink

MSc in Uk na your monay dem need.

Please do you people really pay £10.99 per month for Apple Music in this country? 😭

I switched my location from Nigeria to the UK and I couldn’t believe my eyes. Now to take it back to where I come from is stressing me out. 🥲

I used to use my MTN sim to pay for my Apple Music back home when all cards were failing, but will that method work here now? 🥲

You earn in pounds.

This may not necessarily affect a lot of folks on this thread.
Reason: Most on this thread may not already hold British citizenship, or infact ILR.
