my knowledge of chemistry is up to year 12

how would you define it, nebz? (im curious)

1. not nebz
2. like you said basically m8. the valence electrons are the electrons in the outer shell of an atom. they bond to other elements to fill their outer shell.

5.5. when john mcgee transferred from unsw a few units didnt transfer over. to make matters worse, he failed a few bio units here and there.

fortunately, to qualify for honours in chem you need only a credit average in 48 units of "relevant" intermediate or senior units of study. so my chem marks will be sufficient to get me in, i believe.

if not, straight to teaching.

why the sad face?

okay so guys if i have a online submission that was due on 2pm friday
if i hand it in between 2pm and 11:59 pm on saturday
do i lose 1% or 2%
halp halp

 

[bio_nut]

I'd say 2% as it has been over 24 hours since the deadline. That's how it is for the essay I have to submit on Monday at least. (argh!)

 

[kokodamonkey]

i think whether it is 1% or 2% you should be happy your not doing a subject that is 10%/day

omg so true. like psych

 

[MissedThePoint]

I'm pretty sure in my subjects "late assessment will not be marked".

woah really? :O what subjects are they if you dont mind me asking?

 

[JohnMcGee]

why the sad face?

idk. going straight to teaching seems like a bit of a bummer.

 

[scarybunny]

This assessment is so fiddly. It's all little tiny text boxes.

 

[kokodamonkey]

omg so true. like psych

in my finc assignment that was due monday,

we lost 10% if it was a minute late.
we lost 10% if we went over the 8page limit.
We lost 10% if we didn't do double spacing, 11 arial etc.

 

[JohnMcGee]

johnmcgee! graffiti is happening on monday 1pm

cool i have a doctors appointment

 

[spence]

lol spence guess what (what?) i was on the train into uni to hand in psych, and i'm reading over discussion and realise all my references to graph were completely not corresponding to actual graph so when i got to uni i'm all 'oh hey psych submissions people can i borrow a piece of paper and a ruler?' 'um why?' 'hehe fail graph that needs to be redone'

edit: psych isn't 10%/day it's 10% off from 1 min after the deadline, to an entire week later. so if you're not going to hand it in on time, may as well use the extra week to make it perfect.

lol nice work

wowwwww. thats harsh. one of my subjects was 5% if we didnt double space but wow 10%

 

[kokodamonkey]

i know. so i find it absolutely hilarious when people complain about 1-2%/day

 

[jayadore]

Who's complaining about 1 - 2% off a day? :/

 

[kokodamonkey]

people were stressing over whether they lose 1 or 2

 

[Lord Farquad]

i was not stressing

i was querying for clarity's sake
