Aww no one has congratulated you yet.
Congratulations ILMV! And with honours too! Nicely done!
Congratumalations!
Now for the fun part of going in to the work force :eek:
Already been working as a web developer for a year now, full time here I come!
What's the 2:1 bit? Are they giving you odds on your degree, or odds on your chance of ever using it?
The latter. ;)
The way degrees gets graded over here is 1st is the best, 2:1 next, then 2:2, then 3rd, followed by failure.
But 2:2 = 1. I hold no faith in this 'edumacational' system of yours, sir.
So I guess a failure Honors Degree wouldn't be too good.Quote:

You seem to have slipped, 2:2 = Desmond.Quote:

Maybe it means you should all honor me by sending a donation towards my celebration fund? I only accept Zimbabwe dollar.
Historically an ordinary degree was the standard and an honours degree was an advanced classification - so it was better. These days everywhere does honours degrees and I think you'd be hard pressed to find somewhere that would offer an honours degree so it's pretty meaningless to be honest. I do remember one of my lecturers muttering something about our third year project having to have a real world application in order to qualify for an honours degree but that's certainly not true of other honours degree syllabi I've seen.
I got a 2:1 hons, by the way. All the best people do. Anything less you're a loser and a 1st means you're a girly swot. That's what I think anyway.
Phew, good job I got the result I got then, I certainly don't want to be a girly swot.
My final year project was in fact a real world solution, in fact, 9 months on I am working full time for the company that I did it for :)

I think Honours means that you have passed every single module in every year that you took your module. Well done! *cough*My son!*cough*
