Ds is just coming to the end of 1st year. He specifically chose this course and Uni because the majority of the assessments are course work/essays rather than exams, as he always does much better on essay type stuff than exams.
So, he's been getting mainly 2:1s with a few 1sts and one 3rd all year, so far so good.
Just called him now to tentatively ask how revision is going for the 3 exams he has and he did one yesterday, did "a bit" of revision and is currently in the pub. Is not showing any signs of doing any significant revision as he reckons that as long as he gets 40% overall, which he's already exceeded, it doesn't matter what he gets in the exams.
Can this be right or do I need to stick a rocket up his ass (hypothetical question, he stopped taking advice/instructions from me a long time ago!)
