    @BSang:

    TBH the questions were quite straightforward. I only flubbed a couple. But that was because I didn't mess up on the thesis and I answered all the others quite well. :teeth:

    @p51dray:

    You know, I've only heard like anecdotal stories.

    One anecdotal story is that someone somewhere was failed because it was obvious they'd plagiarized someone else's work. But no details.

    It's probably one of those urban legends that gets better in the retelling.

    Sooo, would you happen to have any advice for how to prepare for a NUSC 341 final?? :P Haha.

    Study your book and make sure you at least know the basics of decay modes. :teeth: A lot of the subsequent material assumes that you at least know how radioactive decay works. :p

    So, yeah. My thesis has been submitted to the library and I am Officially Complete. It's all downhill from here. :teeth:

    To whoever was asking about a copy of my thesis, I sent the PDF to the library, but it's anyone's guess as to when it'll get a call number and be officially in the records. I'll go stick it on a website somewhere for downloading purposes.

    Ok, since it's going to take ages to go to the library you can read it here (~2.5 meg PDF, formatted for ebook readability)
