Do you still have your coursework?

[ComeTheMoment]

This question is really for older Mumsnetters, as I am close to retiring. I am clearing out a cupboard that I need for other things now. My coursework has been occupying it for decades. And truthfully, I haven't looked at it in decades but it feels like I am throwing away some part of myself. But I need the house room for other things. Do you still have your coursework, especially if it is vocational? If so why? Do you still look at it from time to time or do you think you will need it again someday?

Good Lord no, mine all went in the bin as soon as I got my exam results

Nope! I'm in my mid 40s, have moved a lot so chucked out school and uni stuff years ago.

No way. I have my degree certificate and that's it. I don't even have my GCSE or A level certificates. Don't remember chucking them but must have done at some point.

I think I still have a copy of my undergraduate and masters dissertations somewhere. I also am fairly sure I kept the composition work I did for A Level Music, especially one I won a competition for.

Everything else has been binned over the years.

Yes. And some of my father's and grandfather's and a great-great... ancestor's from the late 18th century.

I did look at a piece of A-level work recently, and a uni essay as it was relevant to something, even though I was st school/uni 1980s-"90s.

No!!

Ive a thread about hoarding but even I'm not that bad.

Yes... Graduated 1993 😂

God no
and as soon as gcse results come out we won’t have any of our teen’s school work either
dead weight
dead space

if you want a stepping stone photograph or scan the pages, keep digitally in a separate folder, create a back up or put it in the cloud and get rid of physical copy

I completed my HND in 1995 and my degree in 1996. I do still have a copy of a piece of work I'm particularly proud of from my HND, and a copy of my degree dissertation, but that's it.

Interestingly enough, the HND work was a marketing piece on providing meal plans for dieters, similar to Jane Plan or many others we have now. I was obviously quite good at predicting future marketing trends.
