Useless degrees

old speccy cunt Woodhead

Oi! I'm wearing my specs today and Clefty says they make me look bookish, and that's good enough for me.

Markyboy's experience of higher education is markedly different to mine (and I'm guessing yours, Ross), because there was a clear line drawn. If you don't pass this, you fail. This works well for Bsc/Msc degrees, but it's much much harder to implement on BAs, because of their subjective nature.

Alex - actually I did a BA, but would have been kicked out simply for non-attendance, which isn't a bad starting place - but I benefitted from a tutorial system, which was quite intensive. I also had to pass first year exams, to progress to second and third years, so I guess I could have got booted for non-attendance, non-performance or just being dim. Amazingly I survived.
