My uni (Teesside) has put in place a ‘no detriment policy’, where you are guaranteed your average grade from the previous semester, so long as you pass. So iv actually had the luckiest escape from organic chemistry in the history of organic chemistry.

Questions to the VC (who apparently has an ‘account’ -with no photo- that posts in the group sometimes) about how precarious staff and workers could be helped in during the pandemic are also deemed to be violating the rules of the group. https://twitter.com/tomcutterham/status/1244687813590777858?s=21 …
