Humans aren't robots. This is why momentum exists.

Also another way momentum exists is when Bolt is at 60 meters and he's running faster than when the gun was fired and he started running.

Yeah, I was going to post something like this, too. Anybody who has played poker (or any game/sport for that matter) knows that they play like AIDS when things haven't been going well, and that it's way easier to play at the top of your abilities when things have been working out.

Are you now going to make this a debate about semantics? If so, yes, momentum has something to do with confidence based on recent performances.

so you are playing bad when losing range-wars and having 0%+ equity turn into 0% realised equity for a longer than mentally comfortable period?

Football Manager 2016. Worth $40 or wait until it goes on sale? I have a new, faster laptop than this time last year -- kind of got an itch to play something.

I've got a Master's and I'd agree with cashy's statement. very easy.

if anything, the momentum from getting my **** together towards the end of my bachelor's took me over the Master's finishing line with room to spare.

It's like when, in your weekend kickabouts, you don't Busquets it up for a week or two, you're not confident enough to post about them on 2p2.

Multicollinearity though.

WRT Masters difficulty, mine was tough compared to my undergrad, which I found easy but both depend your level of achievement.

I agree most ppl can get a 2:2 at undergrad and a pass at masters and say it was easy.

Anyone who gets a desmond should not be looking to go forward in academia.

Even the laziest lecture dodging drug and alcohol binging reprobate should get a 2:1 if they half a brain.

this. I went to something like max 15 lectures in 3 years, think it would be under 10. and managed to get 2.1 in compsci. Just do average at best (failing quite a few) at coursework ,and then just binge/cram few days before exams and youre good to go. Really is not difficult to get a semi-decent grade for your degree

although it helps that im 95% sure they gave me my dissertation mark to bump to a 2.1

Not true regarding the PhD in my experience. Masters are wank now but getting a 1:1 is still legit.

I think it's worth the investment now. I'm in the year 2050 cos I'm trying to get the Invincibles achievement on Steam.

Definitely in terms of employability, but they still dont hand out firsts at bad Universities like confetti.

Its probably harder to get the first at BU.

I wouldn't employ anyone with less than a 2:1. The college/IT system gets a lot of hate but in general is a great litmus test. Anyone from any college who has done 4 years of 3rd level education and getting over 2:+ shows to me they can function as a human in a work place environment.

Assume employers should take into account what degree people do. There's like a chasm in effort required to achieve even a Desmond when comparing subjects. My experience is once you're in 'real world' whatever that is, your degree classification isn't really important.

+1. Don't think phds are something you can just decide to do. Funding, subject, ability etc
