The double standards at work.

Maybe I am too demanding hoping for a bit of readable feedback but I doubt it

Right. I will decipher the comments for you.

This work would have benefited with more in depth research.
Avoid making sweeping comments that you can't support with adequate reference.
Also try to present both sides of the argument in equal light.
Last point: re-read your work for spelling, grammar and syntax.
Happy now?

Why is it that every time Phil posts a thread, the same people flock to it like a pack of hyenas? (Rather unkind to hyenas, I know, but it's all I can think of at the moment.)

If I find a thread boring or irritating, I ignore it. Why can't others do the same?

Perhaps if you went to see one of your tutors you may get some help deciphering the comments. Also, you will be giving feedback to the tutors and then they may take this into consideration and write more clearly. If no one ever tells them that their writing is illegible then they will carry on writing like that.

It's perfectly acceptable to want to be able to read it, but you are making it into way too much of a big deal.

THe marker was probably very busy, writing quickly, perhaps they didn;t realise it was illegible? They will undoubtedly be happy to tell you what they wrote, on their return from holiday.

Now get over it! You don;t NEED to know right now. It may be frustrating, but as you can;t ask them until they get back just let it go.

It isn;t a 'double standard', not is it a 'flaw', it's just a minor issue of handwriting that will be easily sorted when the marker returns.

Well done on your good grade, keep it up, and please try and see the silver lining rather than a cloud in life!

Oh those who find them unbearably irritating do stay out. The rest of us fall into one of these three categories:

1. Those who still beleve phil is open to receive advice
2. Those who have nothing better to do (that's me at the moment)
3. Those who like a bit of phil bashing (me sometimes)

Be as it may, we all have our reasons. I doubt any of us here lose much sleep over all this though...

I live in hope that one day he will listen to comments posted on his threads and take the appropriate action.
