Been away from this forum for quite some time. Nice to see it's still so very active and helpful. Got my first interim assessment tomorrow - just finished preparing for it now. Probably under-prepared, but totally demotivated at the moment anyway :-( Will let you know what they ask and how it goes when it's over tomorrow, if anyone is interested. I think the outcome is: continue, resit or get outa my uni you lazy thicko (terminate candidature).
