Quoting Toy from 19:20, 14th Oct 2007 I need to convert the 20-point scale to percentages for some job applications, however I have absolutely no idea what the equivalants would be. I know that 17+ is First, etc, but is that a 70% or 80%? What's a 14? Anyone know where I can find such a % scale? Ch...

Quoting pedant from 23:56, 13th Mar 2007 The term RA (Residence Assistant) is used to describe members of staff who aren't part of the wardenial system (such as wardens/subwardens) but perform a similar role in regard to supervising the hall. It may have originated in America, but it's being used b...

Quoting nymphomanic from 21:21, 12th Mar 2007 But spot checks are not expected in Albany - and there is no rule saying they can lock my door [hr] I read most of the night and go south in winter - wasteland They can do spot checks (it's in the contract) and they are legally obliged to lock your door...

exnihilo - why is all state education crap?

ah.... the old chance to better oneself arguement. Excellent. Obviously, those without the chance, should be excluded. Go read Marx.

Quoting BeccaLydia from 10:44, 28th Feb 2007 Surely this would be discriminatory against privately educated students as they would never have the chance to prove themselves in this way? In the end all the students should be working to the same level, so their previous background shouldn't matter at...

.... It wasn't my teacher's fault - he'd just never coached a candidate for oxbridge before.

... should coaching be necessary? Not wishing to point at you specifically, just asking a question?

Clearly private results are better. But then, if you only enter thse students who are going to do well into exams it's kinda hard not too. As with all things, some state schools are excellent, some not. The same goes in the private sector as well. Also, if you do very well coming from a "less educat...

Quoting Dom from 13:09, 27th Nov 2006 Yes, as a result of your bad wording. Read your post again: "Should we request apologies..." You were going off at a tangent, as this thread is not about requesting an apology. Final digression – if nations should apologize, then we *should* request nations who...

Quoting Dom from 12:24, 27th Nov 2006 Quoting blimey from 11:58, 27th Nov 2006 Should we request apologies for WW1 or WW2? Who the hell is REQUESTING an apology? Have you been following this thread? Take a chill pill. Yes, I'm following the thread.... REQUESTING, or REQUIRING... is not the focus......

Should we request apologies for WW1 or WW2? What about the persecution of the Jewishpopulation in Europe? Any need for an apology?

The ability to reflect on society and previous 'mistakes' is crucial - those who are not willing to appreciate this are on a slippery slope...

Crucially, the funding bodies (ESRC, NERC etc) state that a 2:1 is required to secure their funding. Thus, as long as you achieve that, and can prove your abiltiy you'll have no problem....

Crucially - a point which seems to have passed everybody by - there arguement wasn't actually about the supply of heroin (an illegal substance). Rather, it was about the supply of methodone etc for control and substitution .... thus enabling said prisoners to wean themselves off the "hard drug" and ...

Quoting Nick82 from 00:12, 10th May 2006 Now it has occured to me in all the fuss about contract negotiations between the university and its staff that the norm for academic contracts was that they were to be negotiated privatley. In addition to this they were meant to be confidential and it was an...

Quoting exnihilo from 10:55, 4th May 2006 Why is it anachronistic? And why should it be unnaceptable? Is there no right to free association any more? If they were doing women down in some way, attacking their liberties, then it should be closed down forthwith, but they're doing nothing of the sort....

Erm... while it is all great and good debating what we think about the people in the KK no one seems to address the real question:

What do we think about a male only exclusive club? Is it acceptable in the 21st century that such an anachronistic group still exists?

tg - it's all down to the way you phrase your question. Ask it nicely, then ppl respond nicely. Ask it like this, with no info and then respond as you did ... and you get what you deserve!
