    Awkward, I'm actually one of the few girls that will be in the course, but thanks :P

    Congratulations female :D

    You're the only one? :eek: Usually there's a few, and then unfortunately the numbers dwindle down (both blokes and girls). In my year there is only two remaining girls.

    Excited about college? :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5 Ele92


    One of few I'm presuming, I don't know how many other girls there are but I've heard computing isnt the most popular course regarding girls! Yes very, hearing nothing but positive comments about ITT so I cant wait :) Just gotta get myself a job now so I can move closer to the college!

    You're gonna love it, some of the lecturers are very good, especially Howell who will be your software development lecturer for the first year.

    Are you hoping to continue on doing Computing or go onto IT?

    Welcome to ITT :)

    Probably continue with computing but I'm not 100% yet, gonna wait and see! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 148 ✭✭theGavin


    Here's a program you'll become familiar with in a few weeks http://scratch.mit.edu/ . Even thought I hated it, it's really good to get your mind wrapped around certain programming concepts.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 176 ✭✭ElectroJazz

    Hey

    My name is Del (mature student) starting Computing - had to rely leaving cert points as I just missed out as a mature student because of the huge numbers applying I was told, Im hoping I made the best choice as I also got offered the hons degree in Blanch.

    Dying to start the course - 4years seems long but its gonna fly I've been told :

    A wee bit nervous too :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 348 ✭✭tkd93

    Hey Del. Yeah, 4 years does seem long, but in all honesty it flies by, especially if you enjoy the course.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 348 ✭✭tkd93

    Very easy class sizes were always small , lectures very helpful. Good support network and laods of clubs and societies.

    Very good college cant fault it.

    Yeah I think it's a great college. Only thing they could improve would be the size. I wouldn't mind it being a bit bigger. Computer labs can get a bit cramped.

    It's just as well we never once had a full class last semester. One of our computer classes was in a room that held about 24. There were supposed to be 36 in the class!

    Not doing computing, doing Engineering so we probably got dumped with the smallest class rooms and the Windows 95 computers. :pac:

    I am curious about how many will be back this year. We had four groups of 16 last September but between 8-12 in each group by January. Mine was down to 5 and another down to 2 by the time the exams came around.

    Looking at the Moodle timetable for computing class 1A, it's harsh! Wont be able to work on Wednesdays anymore because I'm not off til six. Doesn't seem to be any breaks/lunch in there either so hopefully it's just a draft. 1B have a great timetable on the other hand..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,478 ✭✭✭✭gnfnrhead


    At least you got a timetable on Moodle. No sign of one from the Engineering Dept. :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 176 ✭✭ElectroJazz


    Oh that does look crap, glad I'm in 1b :) Only starting at 2pm on Friday? That is a bit harsh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 148 ✭✭theGavin


    As always, 1B are a bastard.

    Back in the morning and I'm still WIDE awake :(

    Not all bad as I forgot to stick my phone on charge earlier so wouldn't have been going asleep straight away anyway, but that was two hours ago now!

    9am start every day! :( I was having nightmares of double maths first thing on Monday, that would be incredibly cruel. Thankfully it didn't happen. Half day on Friday is great news :D

    Your brain can't function that early. It's impossible. Unless you're filled with caffeine. And crack cocaine.

    Got a Window's 7 computer today. Someone must have screwed up and put them in the wrong class :pac:

    54 people across four classes this time last year. Down to 18 and one class now. Expect another couple to drop off after Christmas. Thats when the numbers took a nosedive last year. Only starting second year too. There'll be hardly anyone by the time fourth year comes around!

    Unless I was drinking the night before I tend to be wide awake within ten minutes of getting out of bed so I was grand this morning, but the afternoon screwed me up. An hour for lunch, then an hour in class, then an hour and a half of nothing, then another half hour of class. I was already switched off and gone home mentally by the time the last class started! Only a couple of hours ago and I havent a clue what the class was about :o

    How was your first day back?

    Was grand. We were informed that we will be trying some different stuff this year, to keep up with industry standards or something or other.

    Was thrown straight into lab work, which is always nice :p A few Erasmus students are in my class, they seem sound enough.

    All those young people today, who were smiling and filled with hope...were they first years?
