    the cards were handed out at reception last year.

    they gave one of the guys in my class the whole lot of the cards for our group and he just gave them to us... he must have been the first one up from our class!! doubt they'll be out wednesday tho think we were waiting about a week for them last year if i remember rightly!!

    i went to reception last year and asked for mine. the dude at reception asked if i would take them all and give them out since no one had asked about them yet.

    i said id take the forensics group, but he said take the entire computing department ones.....

    was a great day... :mad::mad::mad:

    In case anyone is confused about groups all your names are in the computing board upstairs divided into the groups you are meant to be in.

    In front door, straight up stairs and turn right.
    Keep walking and the bulletin board thingy is on the left with all the timetables for all years of computers.

    Never bought any book in first year. You really do not have to, plenty stuff in library.

    If you have Mister P.C for Discrete Maths ....well you won't be allowed calculators for the first semester :p:p:p:p

    Actually a good thing though. Gets the ole brain working again :pac:

    We had our first D.Maths class today, with P.C.
    It was a good, easy start to base 16, and base conversion. I think he's a fairly good teacher, and must say, I enjoyed the class! He's giving us our first test next Monday, but that's fine.

    Also had our first General Computing class, with L.M.
    He seems alright, even if the subject sounds zzzzzzzzzz! :o
    He suggested getting a book, "Computer Science" by Glenn Brookshear.
    Checked it out in Easons, and it's €62! :eek:
    I don't think so!
    There's bound to be one in the library.
