Seems like an excuse to me, London doesn't stop because there's a tube strike, it just gets stroppy!
What I think the problem is that she wants time to settle into college before she has to do loads of coursework to do? am I right?
I'd see this as a blessing to be honest!
But may mean she has less time to do her coursework in.
you dont get long at colleges, so you got to make the most of them
We're not all like that.
Fuck sake Sofie lighten up, you really can be so uptight sometimes.
i really need to get stuck in this year though cos if i don't get my DDM i'm fucked....
So the deadlines will be extended then. You never have to hand in coursework on the last day of term, it's usually a couple of weeks before that. They'll just extend it to then, I'd only start worrying if it was only you who missed 3 weeks but everyone is, the college will recognise this and make changes to fit everything in.
For quite a few courses, the moderator is someone from outside the school and it's them who set the deadlines that they have to have coursework by. Or something like that anyway.
Is this college as in uni, or college as in school college?
Still don't get it, how can your course be delayed for 3 weeks but others not?
As for missing work, that's outside the schools control. I thought you were starting uni.
(sorry!)
it's cos we had people having to transfer from other colleges onto our course because other colleges are dropping the course and they had to make 2 groups instead of 1 and thus create new timetables and find extra tutors...and aparently the tube strikes made this a longer process...fucking lame excuse really...
At university all the American affilates called the university "School" anyway!!
