Got em, wa-hey, 2nd year here I come.

K TOTALLY hard done by in my practicals, but whatever, I passed

Dave!

Did the threads get merged? I woulda thought it would be better to have a seperate thread for the results, and one for the pre-results discussion.

ball ox

for some reason my 2 E's from last semester were not compensated for and got 2 F's this semester - all god damn elective's. 40 out of 60 credits. Think I better join the dole qeue........

failsafe

Still no results... UCD, why do you hate me!?

I guess the do i/don't i have a degree curiousity will remain unanswered until next week...

How come everyone else in Quinn 2nd Year was timetabled with mine for next Wednesday, and they all got them yesterday?! And even though I contented myself with 'hey, I'm fully modular and have 30 Arts credits, It'll show up with the other modular results at 5pm', and I come back at 7pm, and nothing!

Curses. Ah well, it's only second year, not like it counts or anything.

Pythia

Second year counts for me.
The results become official on the day of the board meeting, most of Quinn school's were on Tuesday. So i think they give themselves a week to put em up, to be safe, when in fact it only takes a day.

Economaniac!

Any word about 2nd Arts results? anybody?

beanyb

no sign of them yet economaniac.

My brother got two PC grades in his exams, he goes to WIT. That's a fail down there. Hope all is ok Dave, and that the same system doesn't apply.

ball ox

does anyone know what the craic is if you fail an elective from a faculty other than arts which is mainly graded on continuous assessment? I assume you cant just sit a repeat exam and pass it. Someone mentioned something about doing extra electives next year to compensate but it's all a bit unclear. Anyone here in the same situation?

TheVan

First for the year, 50% of my degree! Roll on 4th year!

This is what it says here
http://www.ucd.ie/registrar/

A+ 4.2 Excellent
A 4
A- 3.8
B+ 3.6 Very Good
B 3.4
B- 3.2
C+ 3 Good
C 2.8
C- 2.6
D+ 2.4 Pass
D 2.2
D- 2
E 1.8 Marginal Fail, may compensate *
PCM 2.0 Pass with Compensation
F 0 Fail **

It says 'PC' on the SIS, as opposed to 'PCM'... I assume it's the same, but am afraid to relax too much I f*cking hate exams...

The_Minister

What does PC mean?

Passed everything but managed a D in Psycology. How dumb must I be?:rolleyes:

EDIT: Just read above post but still don't understand PC

ehh... cheers for that, horse...!

It was a D+ so my retardation is minor.
Why am I a horse?

Scraggs

Firespinner I have to say thats not very nice!
I got a big fat E in that Psych module and I've never failed anything in my life [well til this year anyway:(]

The_Minister

Thats different, you only failed because Grimes kept distracting you.

Ah, yes, but I didn't steal mine from a 600 year dead play-write and (mediocre) poet

He could probably spell playwright despite his alleged mediocrity though

Thank you. I had to sell my body for cigarettes to the prison warden but I made it.

Oh and originally, I spelt it playright.

Waltons

Intro to Programming II: A+
Software Engineering: C+
Quantitative Economics: A+
Information Design: C+
Information and Society: C-
History of Psychology: A-

Programming was pretty much as expected. Dunno if I expected quite so high though.
Wasn't really happy with the SEP until reading Blowfish's post :eek: After seeing that, I guess it's really not bad considering we were running a two-man team.

Quantitative Economics I was, obviously very pleased with.

The Information Studies stuff was a load of arse anyway, and I never really put much effort into it. Guess I'm just glad that I won't have to go back in August to do them again or anything. Certainly won't be touching them next year!

History of Psychology....What can I say? Hated this module, put in below minimum amounts of effort bar the day before the exam, and skipped most of the lectures. In conclusion, what the hell?! Happy though, obviously.

Bkdzr, that was really unlucky with the project. You should definitely talk to Joe or the TAs!

BKtje

If you only got a C+ m8 then i think i should be happy i didnt get a ng :P

Okay... I can't leave this unsaid: Either way you spelt it playWRONG.

I did all good apart from the Software Engineering Project. My team got straigh F's. A fair amount of work went into it too. I got two other E's bumped up to PC's, but thanks to the project, I'm gonna have to repeat the whole year!:mad:
I just hope an appeal/recheck will help

Liber8or

Intro To Programming II : B+
Intro To Computer Architecture : C
Formal Foundations : A-
Software Engineering Project : B-
Calculus and Statistics : PC
History, Ireland: Union and Disunion : PC

History, became boring after the first couple of lectures so that went down the tube.. :P

Calculus and Statistics simply annoyed me. I should have put more effort in but i put my time into the Project instead.

From what i have heard about the Project, i consider myself lucky. I just dont understand how a module that had an 80% failure rate can be considered valid...

Macka

Intro to Canadian studies II - B
Roman hist and arch - B
High middle ages 1000-1500 - B
Expanding horizons AD800 - 1800 - B-
Ireland union and disunion - B-
Roman lit and culture - C+

oooooooooo yeah, those results far outdid my own meagre expectations for myself so I'm tres tres happy. Especially with Archaeology, my mates had had difficulties passing the 1st semester module and I'd thought my general lack of lecture attendence was gonna cost me dearly but thankfully not. To reiterate, oooooooooo yeah!:cool:

darth insidiari

Still no results for 2nd or 3rd years. Has anyone heard anything? It's looking like they'll acually wait until the official date this year. Arg...I wanna know if I'm doing a masters or not. Difficult to make plans when I've no idea what I'm doing for the next year. Sorry bout the moanin but it's really making me nervous. I check SIS abot 10 times a day. It's just not healthy.

Chinafoot

Be sure to post here if 3rd years are out because I'm refusing to look until I know they're up.

snickerpuss

Yeah i'm leaving for cork later and i was praying they'd be up before i left. Don't make me wait til saturday when i get back.
*sob*

Dave!

I posted on the SEP moodle about the results (as nobody has done that yet), let's see if Joe replies..... It's just ridiculous if there's actually an 80% failure rate.

Chakar

I'm a VERY happy man.

Chinafoot
