Found a cheat note...

Jeapy

So come on...own up now whoever you were. yes you, who had an exam in the gym in Kevin street sometime before 4pm yesterday and sat down at the back on the right.
the little piece of paper had what looked like maths formulae on, cos 0 (theta or whatever) kinda stuff! it was on the side of my chair. didnt pick it up or anything. what would ya'll have done?

smartypants

its hardly the crime of the century

Jeapy

i know ya, i just thought it was funny. it wasnt very well hidden at all! was just wondering what course it was.

smartypants

at least he/she was generous enough to leave it for some else to use (p.s. check the exam hall timetable )

thats it ya, a considerate cheater! never thought of that. couldnt really have been bothered trekkin back to the Gleeson Hall to check even if id thought!

smartypants

sure theres probably still some formulae etched into the desks from my day lol

Sir Molle

As I stated in the other thread, they were mine! I was over near the climbing wall. Ha ha, I thought the notes were well placed.

I'm in final year and i have to say i;m disgusted with the ammount of cheating that goes on.

most of the class are at it.


really is unfair on the honest students.

This is exactly why I hate the way exams are done. It's just memorising stuff and regurgitating it onto the exam book. It doesn't mean you know your stuff, it means you can brain dump.

Trampas

I think exams should be open book.

As it is very unfair for years work (finals) be all down to a few hours. We can all have a bad day.

If exams were open books you still wouldn't have time to search your book for information, read and write it down.

Some people might use it to reference items or to make sure they are on the right lines.

open book? jesus i'd do no study. i've had open book exams in the past and while great to do, there's really no point.

american style multiple-choice exams with some sort of short interview would weed out who knows their stuff and who doesn't fairly quick, but an interview process could be long and difficult... an interesting way of going about it though methinks

this is the way that the ACA(Professional accounting exams) are done the final sets of exams are open book. When my sister was taking them they were bringing mini suitcases into the exam but had everything referenced so they could find the pages no problem. As someone once told me its not knowing the stuff that makes you good but knowing where to find it

Hay scheister,

yea for our formal Elements, we are allowed to use open books, but this then becomes a whole class attempt at passing the exam.

i know its a pain but i think good ol studying will pay off, altho august in Kevin St Exams is a LOVELY time of year.

Altho i must object, to a certain course on the ground floor who are handed formula Tables... if this is not available to every engineering course, then it should not be available at all..

Sure enough the tables depend on the course you are studing fish. Sure people doing business and child care only have to know where the figure can be got while the emgineering courses may have to know the actual idea behyind then and how to get them

Nemothefish

Yes but within

a faculty, say engineering and more specialised, if one course DT010 is allowd to have a course specific set of log tables then why cannot other engineering courses say DT008 can thay not have a symerlar set? i know the courses are different

but in bussiness i assume there are common formulas, deffionitions that could be given to everyone is a certain disipline??

thats i could not say with out thinking for a while. of course there are formula in the maths and topics like ratio's that we have to learn off but what ya can do

If you have picked up the note then your fingerprints will be on it and it will be really hard for the CSI team to nail down the real criminal.

unless you have studied EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION in DIT then don't make reference to it as childcare as i take it that was a smart comment about it. If you studied the bloody thing and seen all the psychology and the millions of ideas behind every little detail you would soon change your tune....and since your so under educated about childcare its an HONOURS degree you can't get one of them for nothing.:mad:

Hahahahahahaha!!

Plenty of honours degrees can be gotten for nothing. Yours included. I'm sure it was tough studying Art, Drama, ICT in the early years (How to play gameboy!!)...3 whole years of it. :pac::pac::pac::pac: 3 whole modules of psychology over 3 years... Jaysus, must be like living in Sweden, you mustn't know what daylights' like!

i haven got a clue about gameboy, shows what you know......di you forget the whole every step by step detail of how child develops exactly all the ages every little detail emerges at....oh and law oh and sociology.........you mentioned the easier subjects earlier but if you seen what the continuous assessment for them are like and the amount of work that has to in you would soon stop......if it's so easy why don't you do it and see how far you get........if you sen the stuff we do and have to go through on placement and like th place or get on with the people we are put with we are stuck in the placement for an entire year....nobody's degree involves them getting it for nothing and if you think so then your the under educated one.

Now there is a bit too many Spelling/Grammer mistakes there than there should be.

Unless your talking like a pirate or an old man from Avoca then I'm in the wrong.

Surely English was part of the matriculation for DIT?! Or was txtspk nccessry 2b abul 2 communic8 w d lytl kiDz!!

Placement for what? Babysitting? Montessori?

Seriously though, I'm just ripping it out of you. Don't take me seriously, I'm a wind up merchant on these here message boards every now and again!

Onto more important matters

Cheating in tests

I had an exam yesterday in 102. 1 of the tests being taken was 'Network Programming'. I'd be lying if the auditor of the exam wasn't a senile nutbag. 1 blokes phone went of. He takes it out of his pocket (2m from herself) and puts it under the table. Fiddles around, and puts it back into his pocket. She said nada.... **** me!

Then she caught some other bloke with one out - and he says "I'm just turning it off". Lets him off like that.

Seriously, that's so odd.... Are they always so lenient?!

sorry if ya took it i was trying to rip the piss out of your course. i was not i knew a girl who was going that course and know well there is a lot of work to do on it. The point i was making was that business studies like the childcare dont have to know how the therom of pietagous (**** spelling sorry) we just have to know hope to apply it so to speak. while the engereners have to know how it was gotton.

Doctor DooM

There were cheat notes on the floor of the 1st floor toilets in Bolton Street last night too...

sunnyjim

No, that was engineer porn. They get off on that stuff

why would a man want to attempt this course? its seems like a silly and pointless course to me. kids have been growing up fine for millions of years without all this silly pyschology stuff. i'll see how a child develops when i have one, no need to study it for 4years when i'm gonna have to study it for 18years per kid later on in life. now engineering is a different matter entirely, its completely necessary as you will surely be aware that buildings, roads, bridges and all those other important things that men are responsible for, have not been building themselves for years!

Legend_DIT

Roads and bridges and buildings were probably built before there were college courses about how to do such things...

I would also assume that studying a subject like this is because someone wants to work in the related field, not just so that they'll understand why their kid is crying/throwing a strop...

jiltloop - why do you say 'a man' rather than somebody in your first sentence? Just curious as to whether that was a mistake or you genuinely believe in complete gender sterotyping - thst children are women's work?
