Tutor Meeting
As some of you may be aware, I had a meeting with my tutor yesterday to discuss
my future following my terrible degree performance this year. The discussion
basically broke down in to two categories:
- My third year
- An intercalated year/year out next year
Third Year
Following my performance this year, I have been moved from the four-year MEng course to the three-year BSc course. Furthermore, I have been moved to the pass degree and so will only be required to do 90 CATS in my third (and now final) year, which is three-quarters of the honours degree load. My understanding is that I can still receive an honours degree by doing 120 CATS, but I'm not absolutely clear on this, so need to check.Year Out
There was initially some confusion as to my eligibility to take an intercalated year, as my tutor believed that pass degree students were unable to do so. Thankfully, this proved to be false. As such, provided both the Intercalated Year coordinator and the Director of Undergraduate Studies sign off, I will be taking an intercalated year next year, working for credativ Ltd. in Rugby. All paperwork on my end has been handed in, so I simply await confirmation from the department.Posted: Fri, 25 Jul 2008 20:19 | | Comments: 0
