Yeah I understand and accept the reasons for it starting off fairly basic, some people have never done anything like this and it is new to them - fair enough. But from a personal point of view that doesn’t make it any easier for me to sit through virtually the same lectures I did last year, hence why I am now lacking motivation and regretting starting the course!

The fact I got a 2:1 suggests less about my critical evaluation skills than it does about a Second year consisting of far too much drinking and not enough working! I actually averaged 76% in my third year when I actually knuckled down and put in months of hard work. The problem is I am struggling to find that motivation again, and this is not helped by the courses being so similar! I wish I had done it at another institution, or taken a different course but its too late for that now and I am just desperate to get motivated!!

okay so i did a three year degree, graduated with a very good 2:1.

most of my friends from uni were on 4 year courses so I decided to stay on and do a masters in the same institution as an extention to my degree.

5 weeks into the course I am really really regretting it. It started off very very basic and hasnt got much better. Most courses are almost identical to undergraduate courses, same lecturers, same units, same readings - one lecturer even presented the EXACT SAME lecture he had for an undergraduate module! All this has led to me being really really bored and unmotivated to put the work in. IN a way its almost like as the course is so basic and not challenging me, and just a repeat of degree its 'too easy' and I just cant bring myself to put the hours in that I did for similar courses at undergraduate.

I want to drop out but my parents have lent me £6000 to pay for it and I feel I would be letting them down. I just dont know what to do for the best. I have to carry on but cant get motivated, even though I know how much money it has cost both me and my parents.

Has anyone else been in a similar boat or has any advice as to how I can get motivated or anything?
