Robert Kennedy College - The final countdown...

63 days more - and I have barely begun !  The dissertation is becoming a true challenge - and I am all in knots !  I have all of the ingredients I need - but the cake seems to not want to bake !  Somethings missing - and I don't know what - and I can't seem to write !  I have done the research, I have the outlines done - but no matter what I do, I ma finding it so hard to sit down and piece it all together !

63 days more !!!!

Back to work !!!

Robert Kennedy College - A bug and a heart attack !

Bugs - oh my - they truly DO give you heart attacks !!

Imagine my horror in getting a mail stating I have failed my Dissertation Proposal.  Came two days back and I am still reeling !

Apparently it was a bug in the system - rather than saying I am to go check my marks, it said I had failed - and oh my did I panic !  I had already started on my dissertation work based on the feedback given, and I must admit, for all my optimism and positivity, I sank really low - not for a moment did I think that it was a bug in the system !!!

Here's the reply I got for my inquiry - and I must admit, it is a GREAT example of being able to turn a mistake into a moment of inspiration !

Dear Vidusha,

An erroneous email about failure in this module was sent a few minutes ago. Please disregard that information, which was caused by a system bug.

What the system really meant to tell you is that your proposal grade and feedback is accessible through the Gradebook.

Thank you for your understanding and we hope this short lived scare will only give you a spike of adrenaline towards completing the dissertation!

Best regards,
RKC Studentcare
