in the states, it's frequently said that having a car, being able to go wherever you want whenever you want, is like the essence of freedom.

question to the void: is grading in british master's programmes just extra harsh? because I'm getting whiplash from a comment on a course's final paper of "all in all very good" but then marked as a 71% with no written demerits
