Mod post

This post is for people who want to play more general roleplays, I'm leaving this unstructured, to play please comment with who you play (even if you think it should be obvious from your icon/username) and what sort of interaction you're looking for.

If someone wants more structure/to take over handling general roleplays please ask and I'll be happy to add at least one mod for this.

Re: Where Matt has a real identical twin named Mike who is sighted and is Daredevil

You're right, I doubt he's examined it. (It's funny how we do that sometimes with certain things.) I could see Foggy as having the perspective to figure it out, eventually.

The Latin terms mean nothing to a lot of people here, too, really, unless they have reason to want to know. *shrugs* Summa cum laude is with highest honor (of 3 degrees of praise). It's generally near perfect grades. (3.9 out of 4.0) In the show they mention a few times that Matt graduated with that. :) (I tried googling the UK university system of grading and... it does sound really confusing.)

Thanks. I gave the presentation. I actually dressed in a suit to give it. I was the only one who did... LOL Omg total nerd fail. But the prof had said we could dress up as if we were actually giving it to the audience in his scenario. It feels good to be done with it. Definitely don't want to tempt fate!

Yes, I noticed it being mentioned in the show, and I was meaning to look it up but I never got around to it. I just assumed it means he did really really well, which it does, I suppose :-)

Dressing up might have helped you, put you in the business-y free of mind and affected your demeanor. If you'd done it in, say jeans and a t-shirt you might not have felt as confident.

The system here isn't so bad, mostly. You get a first, which is the highest, then there's a 2:1, then a 2:2, then a third. That's the final grade of degree you come out with, so that's the grade you'd put on your resume or whatever. Within each module, you're generally graded by percentage point. I just never understood what's wrong wit A B C etc. Must be some weird random historical thing!

Yeah, I like that he's a bit of a nerd. :)

I figured better to be over-dressed than under-dressed. That and I bet the prof liked the extra effort, maybe. I was a little embarrassed when I walked in the room and was the only one who did it, but yeah, wasn't a bad thing. (It's not unusual for me to show up in business casual to school, anyway. Most of the time I don't have time to stop home and change. So I was a tad more overdressed than usual...) It was pretty interesting to watch the presentations.

LOL. Cool. I was trying to reason it out (I was pretty wiped at the time) - my heart would go in my throat if I had a 70%, but that's supposed to be good? Confused...

70% is good, and pretty hard to achieve. Not too many students come out of uni with a 1st. I'd assume it depends on the subject though, like if it's something like math where the answer is either right or wrong, I'd say if you know your stuff you could get much higher. If it's something more subjective, if you're writing essays and dissertations for everything, it's probably different.

I'd assume it must be a different marking system there to here though too, from the sounds of it.
