Soo this came up in my recommendations, I also went to Southampton (didn’t do psychology). I *personally* found my faculty & department) helpful w my ASD/adhd/mental health and my PAT and faculty senior tutor were amazing and helped me put in place great systems to ensure deadlines never clustered. but jeezus Christ it took like 2 years for enabling (to do absolutely anything) to properly amend my support report, only after 3 hospital crisis admissions, so the faculty just did it themselves. Will say the complaints process is dogshite 100%, enough it scared me too much to actually complain about anything again…. because it was all ‘mediation’ well if my claim is because of an event in a society to stop a person from being allowed to come to the society.. I don’t want to sit in a room w them, & trawl over the trauma of the event. Altho, those of us on our department SSLC managed to informal complain about a lot of things to half stop a module to run (it was reworked) bc it was shit & pointless to make us do a future learning course (mooc) for a weighted module. sorry to hear you had a shit time at soton, I’ve heard mixed reviews abour psychology :/. I do think on a whole the wider university has a shit Ton of problems and its luck of the draw. I did my final BSc yr in 2020 and the flip flopping around classifications was terrible, and the no detriment policy. The wider spec cons process, was luck of the draw (I was vvv lucky I sense) but I know other ppl who got denied resits for like MAJOR reasons, to the point they just dropped out it was too stressful…. I didn’t know though, that psychology did bell curve when marking - that’s bizzare & very unhelpful. So yeah, all good and valid points in this video but I do think thay is really really varies. Also, a lot of favouritism, some of the students would go to the pub on the reg w some of the lecturers while undergrads like 👀 - obvs not impartial then. 🙄
its deffo a luck of the draw. some ppl really enjoyed my course and had no issues with lecturers, diss or tutors, then i seemed to get a bad bunch for all of them lol! and yes the curve grading is AWFUL
grading on a curve is literally ridiculous. why make an enemy of the people who are guaranteed to make it through the course and actually pay the full 3 years of fees
It’s so weird when uni’s have a “the lecturer is always right” mentality. Hun, your students are your *customers*, they are paying to be there. And paying hell of a lot, and will be in debt for the majority of their lives! Lecturers should do *everything* they can to support you and help you. At the end of the day, university’s are a business, they need students and money to thrive and for lecturers to have jobs, otherwise they’d all be sacked! Glad you stood up for yourself tho and congrats on your 1st! ❤🎉
