Reality Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Don't universities usually do the dissertation module in the second semester of the year? =/ I was flicking through my unis module catalogue and it says for my year of entry that it would be in the first semester...starting September. I find that odd as other year of entry, for the exact same course it starts in the second. It has me a bit worried as I always assumed it was the second semester and I based my timeline for my dissertation proposal on the second semester and never thought much of it... o_0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted June 3, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted June 3, 2010 My dissertation was effectively a double module, lasted all year and worth the same amount of credits as 2 normal modules. Sure yours isn't similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Nah, mine is just worth 20 credit points, similar to any other module. Only way to find out is to email the module co-ordinater to ask her and make her aware of what I've done if it is infact scheduled for semester 1. I just hope some clearing in the woods hasn't marked me down for that dissertation proposal if I have scheduled the timeline for researching and writing incorrectly. It should be fairly obvious though that I have thought it was in semester 2 though, if it is based around that semester. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobler Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Dunno if anyone can help me out with this. Does anyone remember a childrens bbc series from the late 80's where some guy had a t-shirt with a tiger on it and the tiger came alive? That's about as much as my memory serves me. I have no idea what the tiger did, whether it gave him special powers or not, it's just something that's bugging me and I dunno where to start my search.

leviramsey Posted June 3, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted June 3, 2010 RIP Chris Haney, co-inventor of Trivial Pursuit Chris Haney, the co-creator of Trivial Pursuit, one of Canada’s most successful cultural exports, has died at the age of 59, according to reports. According to legend, Haney, along with Scott Abbott, invented the game in 1979 during a game of Scrabble. At the time of their eureka moment, both men were working as journalists: Haney at the Montreal Gazette and Abbott at the Canadian Press. With the help of a lawyer named Ed Werner, and Chris’ brother John Haney, the game hit stores in 1982, and within two years became a sensation. Over 20 million copies of the knowledge-testing board game were sold in 1984, and according to Wikipedia over 88 million copies of the game – in 26 countries and 17 languages - have been sold around the world. In 2008, the game was sold to U.S. toymaker and board games manufacturer Hasbro for a reported $80 million (U.S.). There may not be a cottage or cabin in Canada without a copy of Trivial Pursuit gathering dust on the bookcase; the multi-coloured wedges, representing different categories – such as Geography, History, or Sports & Leisure, depending on the edition you’re playing – have become as ubiquitous as the tokens in Monopoly or the the miniature weapons in Clue. Haney and his co-inventors were the targets of several lawsuits over the years, namely Fred L. Worth – who argued that the men had stolen questions from his trivia books – and Cape Breton native David Wall, who said he told Haney about his plans for a similar game in 1979, when he was hitchhiking in Nova Scotia. Both men lost their respective lawsuits. In one memorable episode of Seinfeld, George Costanza fought the “Bubble Boy” over a game of Trivial Pursuit after posing the question: “Who invade Spain in the 8th century?” The Bubble Boy (correctly) responded the Moors, though a typo on the answer card said “the Moops.” “The card says ‘Moops,’” responded George, smugly. Trivial Pursuit was also-turned into a short-lived TV game show on several occasions (you can check out Trivial Pursuit: America Plays here.) Hasbro released the following statement: “We were saddened to hear of the passing of Chris Haney. The Trivial Pursuit game brand is a global icon and has been enjoyed by millions of consumers around the world. When it was introduced in the 1980s, the game both redefined and rejuvenated the entire adult game category. Chris will be missed — and his contributions will never be forgotten. Hasbro extends its condolences to the Haney family.” Haney, who passed away in a Toronto hospital on Monday, is survived by his wife and three children.

Yup They've been drip-feeding us the counties individually as they've been completing them. But now it appears they're all done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems that no matter what I do....1.5 miles or 3.2 miles or 5 miles I still feel like I am going to die afterwards! But I am finishing every run so thats something. Tomorrow is my rough day.

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 No revision all week. Balls. Start tommorow fully though. Argh. 26th June. I can't wait. All over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltenham_villa Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 No revision all week. Balls. Start tommorow fully though. Argh. 26th June. I can't wait. All over. my tip, get out of the house, hit the library/dads office anywhere you cant get distracted where others are also working. Also makes you feel like you've got an appointment and you'll be more committed to doing this. I used to find a couple of hours revision in somewhere like that was much greater benefit than a days revision at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
