Looking Forward to the year

Baggly

So does anyone have any particular plans for their college lives beyond passing xmass and summer exams?

Anyone planning to get involved with the union perhaps, or planning on grasping the reins of power of a soc?

Also, on the eve of the results, any hopeful DIT students planning on taking over DIT from the inside?

Please do share!:p

It is actually really hard not to pass, according to some of my lecturers.

If you fail an exam, you do repeats

If you fail repeats, they look at cont assessment(if applicable) and decide if you made the effort.

If you didnt do cont assessment, they look at any exams during the year.

Apparently...

nope in DIT if you fail repeats you fail the year, simple as that, but you can resit the next year and then repeat again if necessary

you mean i can do the next year and just repeat the repeat i failed this year?
or i cann repeat the same year twice

There is ways around that.

Unless its a very minor subject + special circumstances, you cannot carry a failed repeat exam into the next year. You would have to repeat the year doing only the failed subject(s).

Good luck to All doing repeats. Put some serious hard work into them, and you should pass. The lecturers want you to pass (seriously). Voice of experience here.

is there anyone here doing culinary arts?? i got that as my first choice, and not very sure what it will involve.. but i just decided to go for it anyways!!

shoutman

I do not do it but I strongly suggest you do some searching on the DIT website before you accept that offer, diving head first into something you know nothing about is not the way to go.

Its how aids started if i remember correctly....

The School of Culinary Arts and Food Technology embraces Culinary Arts, Baking Technology, Meat Technology and Bar Management. The expertise and research strengths in the School reflect these areas. Specialist interests include the technology/human interface in the culinary arts; innovative and novel foods; value added food products; meat science and technology; food safety in catering, developing new food delivery systems; purchasing and packaging of food; enterprise and technology; the development of transformer foods for the Irish market; and the application of food science, health and safety, nutrition and sociology in the culinary arts. The School is particularly interested in new models in education in the Culinary Arts and to that extent pioneered the development of the BA in Culinary Arts. The first graduates from this course emerged in 2003 and were targeted by industry.

The School has a distinguished national and international record in culinary arts performance with consistent success in the World Skills competitions, World Association of Cooks Societies (WACS) Culinary Olympics, Euroskills, Hotel Olympia, American Culinary Classic, Eurotoque Young Chef of the Year, the Department of Education and Science National Skills Competition in Food Service, Cookery and Pastry confectioner. The Coupe du Monde de la Boulangerie, National Bakery Competitions, The International Bartenders Association World Cocktail Competitions and the Association Sommellier Internationale World Wine Competitions. The expertise of staff in incorporating innovation, recipe design and product development is a significant factor in these successes.

The School is currently collaborating with the National Food Centre and UCD in a research project on the assessment of organic flours. This project is funded under the Food Industry Research Measure by the Department of Agriculture, Food and Rural Development.

Staff expertise is highly sought by commercial companies and the private sector and is accessed through the Food Product Development Centre.
