Everybody loves vague instructions and unis are the best at those. What incompetence :mcangry: I'm sure you'll make it tho. Is anyone else in your group having similar problems as you do? Because if that's the case, you could always make a group complaint or something like that.

My favourite one at uni was when we had to build our own website. I had already done mine before so I showed it to the professor and he said yep, that's fine, nothing more you need to do. So I submitted it... and got like a C grade. I was furious. Basically, because of that module I got a 2.1 instead of a 1st, and since it was an end of year module there was no chance of retaking it.

Mh, I was thinking about just writing a mail asking for clarification to their mailing list. Since it was just in an exercise session, so maybe someone else will be more reasonable about it than our specific TA. And if they say it's ok to do as I did it in a mail, then they can't just go nooo on me afterwards.

jacob, that sounds incredibly frustrating :(

In my head, they can change their mind anytime they want, but maybe it's just me xD Of course it would make me furious, but I would still be helpless, so yeah.

Well, if I have it written from them I can take that and go complain to the professor if they end up grading me worse for it. So I think they probably wouldn't. But then again, one is pretty helpless in a lot of this, yeah...

Then anyways, I wish you luck with this T^T I hope they will allow the way you did it.

Thank you :) I hope so, too... Because I don't really understand how they want it done, the way I imagine it it would introduce some nasty issues or a bottleneck... I really think my way makes more sense...

What's a bottleneck? (I mean, literally I think I get it, but I suppose this is slang?)

Like as in issues get stuck at this one point and it just backs up behind that. And it's like kind of literal?


Hope that makes sense.
