Bioc is out

 

[Ben]

It's finally over, grats everyone!

 

[Bamboozle]

Such a relief... no more refreshing.

 

[Cathay]

Wait, why don't I have a BIOC result yet... And it's not like I can call up and ask "Hi, today's 3 days from the official results release date, why isn't my grade up yet?"

EDIT: I have (unconfirmed) reports that everyone's bioc result has now disappeared? Did they pull a "HEAL 2009"?

 

[bignose]

Please be aware that there has been a problem with the results from BIOC192 this year. A gremlin has crept into the system and there appears to have been a random assortment of marks. We regret this most sincerely as we are aware of the stress of waiting for results and the importance of them to you and your future. We are racing around the Department trying to fix the situation but with Tony Zaharic in Wellington we are a trifle hadicapped. Please wait as patiently as you can and we will inform you when the results have been uploaded to Registry.

 

[Cathay]

Whoa, when the bioc office says "a random assortment of marks" in the email, do they mean "the marks you were looking at was definitely not yours"?

Suddenly I'm glad I didn't see anything before it went offline

 

[kaixian0011]

OH FARK, I hope its higher for me when it comes out =[

 

[Hebros]

Me too. I had 86.
I wonder how long we have to wait now...

 

[greenglacier]

Judging by the past example of HEAL 2009, you'd probably know if your mark was wrong. That is unless the error is them forgetting to scale or something like that. Hang in there guys!

 

[Hebros]

Also 'unconfirmed' disappeared beside all the other papers including HUBS, which was just released. Is this suspicious?

No, it just means the marks have been confirmed...

They must be focussing on confirming the marks this afternoon - the "unconfirmed" just disappeared from my med 3 exam result as well.

 

[Cathay]

Not really, in first semester, minutes after physics results came out, all of them stopped being unconfirmed.

 

[Hebros]

Oh, ok. I was overseas when first semester results came out and I only got them by the time they were all confirmed. Somehow then I wasn't so anxious back then.:mellow:

How long did it take until HEAL was back on in 2009 [MENTION=5161]greenglacier[/MENTION]? Is there any hope for today?

 

[greenglacier]

In 2009 HEAL went up just before lunch on the Wednesday, was taken down again first thing on Thursday morning, and went back up a couple of hours after it was taken down.

It's not sounding hopeful for you guys getting BIOC results today - might have to wait until Monday

Really? >.>

 

[papermoth]

Guys I know why the results were really pulled down.... it's my destiny to announce the release of the correct bioc results. My destiny.

Really, it makes prefect sense...

Anyway.... this sucks, I was actually OK with my bioc mark... aw. (here's to improving?)

 

[Doodle]

I don't know what I hope anymore...

I really hope the Bioc result I saw today was wrong because it was so low I couldnt believe it. I mean, I'm not expecting an A here but that wasn't even a pass and I don't think it's possible I screwed up THAT bad . But then again... you never know... maybe everything I wrote down was wrong.

I'm kind of relieved there's a problem with Bioc otherwise... well...

 

[papermoth]

Doodle I truly hope you're one of those people whose mark they really muddled up and you get something infinitely better!!

Just sit tight, and hopefully we'll find out soon.

 

[frootloop]

You'll be ok, Doodle, they just screwed up the results release, I'm sure you did just fine
Personally I'm just hoping I got >70% in BIOC, because I'm quite happy with HUBS.

 

[Doodle]

Thanks frootloop and papermoth

Yeah me too... like please PLEASE let me have managed a B+ in Bioc at least! Fingers crossed. I really hope that first grade wasn't mine.
