Re: Is Academia really a Meritocracy?
I have not been failing in my academic life at all.
I passed all my GCSES, in my A levels i got top marks and im passing now at uni second year psychology.
I'm just annoyed that when i make a report that i, and my friends know is best, i can get worse marks on.
Im not some big headed idiot, im actually very critical of myself, but when i see what i deem to be rubbish get better marks than me for stupid reasons its annoying.
I could write 'worse' assignments pandering to the markers convenience, but i dont think i should get into that habit.
I mean, when i read a professional report it sounds NOTHING like the amateur work we're instructed to write.
The subjects full of contradictions and subjective opinions, and that surprises me given its supposed status as a regulated science.
BTW thankyou bav, great examples of what i mean.
