Is that double weighting in every course?

What do you mean by double weighting?

Double weighting means that your grades count double when it comes to determining you final QCA, and thus your graduating degree (1.1, 2.1, etc.). Normally 2nd year counts for 25% of your degree, 3rd year 25% (bearing in mind that there is only 1 semester, due to co-op), and 4th year 50%.

I'm pretty sure for the teaching courses (like science ed, metalwork, etc) that they only count 3rd and 4th year, with an equal weighting to each year.

A month out of UL and have a job nailed, what it's all about I guess! Get in...

Didn't know that there was hot showers in the Jim Kemmy Business School?

Had to go back six pages to find this! We are a miserable lot :P

Fairly sure I passed this repeat though and if it wasn't capped, I'd say I did quite well. We'll see friday!

Repeats passed, happy days

I R back in Limerick!

certifiedcrepe

I have to repeat 3 modules
The reason I'm happy about this is because I was so worried I'd have to repeat the whole year! It'll be money taken away from the car fund but I am delighted I can stay in UL!

Fireball07

Well...I passed, at least I get to go back :P

Sitting in a lecture in Schumann, window open, silence descends as we work on a problem.

Guy in carpark: "I'm gonna take a girl back to my room and f*ck the **** out of her!"

Entire room burst into laughter for about a minute.

Laughter dies down.

Guy in carpark: [laughter]"I was wondering if anyone could hear me..."

Ah sitting here this morning in the library in a lovely quiet listening to a bit of music while looking out and listening to the rain outside (love to sit by the window so I can be nosey and look outside :pac:). Lovely!:) Love when it's quiet like this!

Same thing happened to me today, for some reason I thought it was Wednesday so I thought the lecture I had was on at 10 but when I realised it wasn't Wednesday, I realised that the lecture I have on Tuesday from 9-12 (European Cinema) and now I'm waiting around until three for a tutorial. Back in the library again, my home!:pac: I hate college, I wanna go home! Making me wait around for a tutorial that won't tell me anything new! Blah I say! And I lost my comfy lovely quiet spot and now there are people around! People in my library! How dare they!

Ooo three hour lecture... :Z
About cinema? :P
Just explaining notes in this lecture,
Don't really need to go in, but I've quite a lot to do,
And I'll get a lot more done in your library than my residence.. :P
Gna go to second floor when I come in, meant to come in earlier but fell asleep... :P Near my books and hopefully pretty quiet... Shouldn't be too hard to find a seat
Ah not as bad as study week though... A carbon copy of going to mass at Christmas. Don't go all year bar this one day (week) to repent all in one go, leaving the regulars to stand at the back... :mad:

Yeah last week was a silent black and white German film! 3 hour film! I thought I'd shoot myself but it was actually surprisingly good!:) How dare you think you can study here! Not only that but you choose my floor as well! Disgrace. I know I hate those people! Wish this tutorial would just happen so I can go home. Being stuck in the library means I've to do work which I actually need to do but don't want to!:p I feel bad getting distracted by boards and Facebook! People are probably glaring at me for taking a seat they want!

Neil McCauleys Cooler Brother

What was the film? Fritz lang? M? Metropolis? Bet it was M (which is nowhere near 3 hours).

Awh you have to watch films for 3 hours? :O My heart goes out.. :P
That's where my Economics books are
Will be in myself til late tonight, laying ownership of top floor Ah it surely wasn't that packed at 12 on a Tuesday, plus that's what everyone does! :P


Also in response to other comment, Metropolis (1927) - Run Time: (210 mins) - 3 1/2 hours...

That's the name of it, I'd forgotten!:o:o I still liked it though! Suppose I can't be guarding it all the time! If I didn't travel in no one would get in!:p
Also: There are different versions of the film, some longer than others. Think we watched the one that wasn't the longest version but also wasn't the shortest version!

I can haz interview?

So apparently my CV wasn't completely hopeless (or else it was and I'm being put there to make the others look good)...



Anyone know where EO013a is? I'm assuming near the Co-Op office, but it wouldn't be the first time the Main Building has fu*ked with my brain...

I think it could be the interview room across from the Co-Op office, but I could be wrong.

Would anyone be able to tell me where the tourism section is in the library? Thank you!:)

Two guys held doors open for me today and stood back to let me go through ahead of them! Damn, but I love men who do that! Always puts a smile on my face!

When it happen it makes me what to take the door off the hinges and hold in front of them for the rest of the day. There is nothing nicer than someone saying thanks.

Same thing happened last year but they caught on quickly and blocked them before i could have a look. try not to tell everybody :rolleyes: but then again you have posted it already so prepare for them to be blocked again

If they're as quick to block it as they are to fix the email system we'll probably be safe for the foreseeable future. :P

My QCA jumped by .16 this morning because a grade went from a C3 to an A2 on recheck... I'm now within realistic touching distance of the discretionary band for a 1.1, and could potentially get it outright if modules go my way...


Let this be a lesson to you all, if there's ANY niggling doubt about a grade, talk to your lecturer and get it rechecked.

Data Mining? Few people had a good few queries about that alright.

Nope, Distributed Systems. I think there was a mix-up and the lecturer didn't actually get my final exam paper (I type exams) so didn't add that to the result.

Seriously though, I was so close to not following up on it. I was sitting in work with the email open going "Well, if I'm brutally honest with myself, that C3 could be fair... Maybe I'll just leave it..."

I'm still well chuffed over it.
