How long ago did you do your class? We submit papers to this thing called DropBox and it always sends us a confirmation email whenever our document is successfully uploaded. Our take-home quizzes are on ExamSoft and that also sends us a confirmation email whenever it is successfully uploaded. The only way a professor would not get our work is if they never bother to look.
 
My university has also made us transition to online learning. It is way too easy to procrastinate, especially when it comes to memorizing paradigms.
What are you studying?

Here, we don’t have an A-F marking system. We have:
  1. Excellence (highest grade)
  2. Merit
  3. Achieved.
  4. Not Achieved

Not gonna lie, I dont see a difference between the Excellence through Not Avhieved scale and A through F other than you dont have an F. You essentially just have A through D. What’s the though process behind the system? Was it originally A through F and they changed it or was that was from the beginning?
 
I don’t know 2013, doesn’t matter if I wasn’t told about it. I did have a syllabus, and there was nothing in it about it. I know what you’re talking about, and I did use something like that for other classes
 
Yeah, I did not use DropBox back then. I was in high school and the only thing we really submitted electronically were our English research papers through Turnitin. But, that was only a plagiarism checker and we still needed to give the teacher a hard copy.

So far, in graduate school, there is only one professor that I have had that insisted on hard copies of anything.
 
Well, at my secondary school you have to take 5-6 subjects.

I am studying Economics, English, Latin, Classical Studies, History, and Geography.
 
Yes, it is a very similar system to the ‘A-D’ one.

I don’t know the thought process behind it. It’s a strange system, so in all honesty I don’t think most people do!

Staring at screens is hard on the eyes. If I had to read hundreds of papers, I would insist on hard copies as well.

Back in undergrad, when I was still writing essays, I would always print out my initial draft and mark them up as I was proof-reading. You tend to catch things that you might not have noticed when you were looking at it on the screen.
 
You only have to do maths and science in the first 3 years of secondary [high] school. This is my first year doing neither of those subjects.

I found them both a bit boring. I am hoping to study Law at University, so it’s not like I’ll need science.
 
How long does it last to finish law at the university you’re planning to go? And, what type of job interests you? 😀
 
I am hoping to do a post graduate degree as well, probably overseas.

I may have a Gap year after Year 13. Haven’t decided yet.
 
Triple major? Huh. I don’t hear that in my place. There is a maximum of two studies at our university. Doing a triple major for me is like…
What are the three majors you chose?
 
Well, I got to know something about some users, soo, that’s nice, haha.
But, I think this thread can be more active, because it is wonderful for meeting oyhers, talking, joking, learning something new and so.

I still have four more weeks left to this school year. After that, I plan on spending a lot more time here.
