This is a story we discussed before the festive break which prompted a flurry of comments at the time.


Correct decision?

  1. I still feel the same and feel that the University are correct, although there may have been less staff I am pretty sure the course work would have been covered and he was able to achieve a 2:1 which is pretty good. I still feel he set the bar too high for himself and this is all very personal to him as he didn't achieve his own goals and looking for someone to blame. I agree depression and insomnia are not nice feelings and this must have been awful for him but the report states that he did not suffer from this at exam time and that other factors where contributors to his depression.

  3. He set his own goals too high and blamed others for his failure to reach them. The correct decision was made.
