@RoyalMail I'm meant to be getting a "guaranteed before 1pm signed for delivery" today. Seems to be after 1pm to me... Not like it's our wedding bands or anything important.

@AkenLulus @DSCoremans @StrathclydeUCU Seriously? What a heartless thing to say. The universities are taking the students and staff hostage, the lecturers have been warning this for months and been fighting for YEARS for fair treatment. Source: am a graduate with no classification

@DSCoremans @StrathclydeUCU If you thinks that taking students hostage is ok - than the problems you may face because of never getting your degree are very well deserved.

This! I’m one of the students who spent four years working toward a degree only to graduate with a blank bit of paper and no degree. This is NOT the lecturer’s fault. They are doing everything right and are given no respect by management or media. #UCURising @StrathclydeUCU

Tory MP Bill Wiggin has just attacked us in Parliament, calling the marking boycott “cruel and disgusting.” Our members are fighting for fair pay and for the future of universities. We won’t take any lectures from an Old Etonian who makes £200k+ from his second job.

@ucuatdurham I wore a badge saying “not graduating thanks to Karen” and was blacked out from the screens. So along with not actually graduating, my family didn’t even get to see me in this faux ceremony.

We've been told that at this morning's completion ceremony one student refused to shake hands with the VC, saying  "no degree, no handshake!". Our students Get It.

@i_decked_it @AliciaForsberg I cannot believe that many of us pay a ton of tuition fee only to be affected by strikes and getting our assignments graded by AI! Very demoralising 😔

I HAVE FEEDBACK ON MY 8 THOUSAND WORD DISSERTATION! Oh, wait. No, I have 100 words of vague waffle. Whoever marked this didn't approve of the title that my supervisor told me not to change. This is an insult to me and my supervisor and I am in shock

@drjordankistler Many people mentioning AI. Well, this has just been sent to me. Obviously is not proof, but highly entertaining even if it is wrong and shows how impersonal the feedback is

I know that this was not marked by my supervisor @drjordankistler and do not know who has given me this grade and feedback

@i_decked_it I totally sympathise. Definitely appeal it. It's really not fair on you and other students who have put all the work in, especially after three such difficult years what with Corona and strikes.

@maregan_le_fay This would make absolute sense, I genuinely would prefer no feedback to rushed work from someone over-worked who doesn't know the field

@i_decked_it What I suspect may have happened (though ofc I don't know) is that both OG markers were MABing; your uni couldn't find a replacement for marker 1, and whoever they got to replace marker 2 was probs given v little notice (less than a week) to return their mark, hence crap feedback

@i_decked_it @BurmanPhD “Reader, should she have married him?” is the🪝 and a good indication of the narrative focus. What actually is the subtitle and can I read the diss 🤔
