something sparkly

Great post guys, you've really cheered me up.

I'll make sure that thesis sparkles!

Hi sylvester, thankns for the info.

To answer your question --- i rationalise it like this: My previous degree was primarily focused on mathematical equations and electronic principles; i am finding the switch to essay writing and critical thinking more difficult than i earlier suspected.

However i should of mentioned that i am only 1/3 into my MSc; i hope i'll eventually pick up at least a 2i (distinction is probably unfeasible).

Hi smart people,

I wondered if any of you out there could help me out with my question.

My situation is that i have already got a 2i in engineering and am currently doing an MSc in climate change and sustainable development; however i am bombing big time in this MSc; my average mark being around 45% (3rd class territory). I was wondering if this would effect my PhD changes as definitley want to apply this year.

So guys and gals; is it feasible to apply for a phD with a rubbish third class MSc??

yours in angst
