    Hm the answer to this question was posted quite recently so I shall try to relay to you from the depths of my memory the answers that were given...

    Apparently, the exam results wont be out until we get back to port, and no amount of head shaking or dil-dallying is going to change that unless you go into a room in the admin building and perform sexual favours on some dude called Dr John or someone and then sign a form to say twas all legal and above board...

    or words to that effect

    Why would you start a thread with "Exam Results" as its title? Are you trying to give us all heart attacks? I nearly inhaled my fcuking computer when I saw it.

    Yeah, so I thought it was asking "What are your exam results?"

    I freaked, which means that when I actually get my results, there's a good chance I won't survive.

    I'm actually in college at the moment, researching for a 5,000-word essay. Obviously it's not going great.

    I'll say one thing though, UCD is very busy today. It seems I'm not the sneaky nerd I thought I was.

    Pfft, I was in college up til December 21st, and have been back since last thursday, and I'm as far from being a sneaky nerd as you can get!

    But yeah, it's been gradually getting busier.

    Damn, I liked having the place to myself. And maybe 5 other people. Any more than that and the campus is overcrowded IMO!

    No one has a notion. I'm getting my Arch results handed back to me Wednesday week but that's an exception since it was all coursework. If I was to guess it would be end of month before you get them back....... and hopefully Seb will have his work done by then.... I wouldn't bet on that one! :v:

    the not knowing is pissing me off. i had to take geology (shudders) this semester because im doing cs and the make you take one science subject. im kinda crap at physics and never done biology or chemistry at leaving cert so i thought geology would be a safe bet because nobody could have done it before...... but oh how i was wrong it was the most stupidly marked crapiest subject i had last year... and it was unbelievably boring... i messed up my continuous assessment and both that and the final exam were negatively marked mcq's!! grrr

    Depends on the subject. In Quinn, AFAIK, if you fail twice, you'll be allowed into the next year and do all those subjects like normal. You'll just have to take the subject you failed again too. Ie attend the classes with the year below you in that subject.
    Of course this will cost money.

    It's like that for science too from what i know. Arts? No because they hate Arts students.

    In quinn, you can fail winter, repeat in may, and should you need to repeat next winter and may and so on. However you can only carry one major subject at a time.
    You do not need to attend lectures with the class below you unless the course has changed significantly.

    Thats the "old" Quinn. First years in the new horizons module thingy will be much the same in Quinn as everywhere else.
