    My friend is able to check his weekly timetable on SISWeb, and says it is in the "Information for Students" tab, but I can't find it!

    Has it disappeared or am I looking in the wrong place? I know I can view the timetable in the Student Life tab of UCDConnect, but I want to be able to see the whole week. I'm sure I did it for exams in Semester 1.

    ^^

    Google is great like that, it can capture what is said on boards minutes after it was posted! Often I'd ask my dad (for example) a question about why a certain part of my computer is not working, he wouldn't be sure, I'd post it on boards. A few hours later, he'd walk in saying he googled the problem that I am having and found somebody on boards with the same problem, and a printout of the thread that I started that day :p

    Conor108, you didn't take Intro to Programming 2 this semester, did you? If you didn't, you're lucky - our exam is 6-8pm on the very last day (Saturday 14th). :mad:

    No, we have Damian Dalton. He's quite good, but the module is still tough enough, and has the worst possible exam time! I still think we should have tutorials or something though - looking at powerpoint slides isn't a great way to learn programming!

    Does he still put all his notes into one big messy powerpoint presentation?

    Having the same issues myself. I'm having to go into the SIS module registration to view my timetable . . . bother. I have been saying to myself that I should print it off since September. :rolleyes:

    No, they're usually laid out so you're only seeing small snippets of the program at a time (we're doing C and C++), but sometimes (rarely) he'd put a long program in small writing on a powerpoint slide, which is a bit awkward to read.

    I don't like powerpoint slides anyway. Everything should be like my maths modules - pen and paper. :p

    Well I suppose for programming it's acceptable, but flashing up slides of sample codes isn't an effective way of teaching programming. There are no tutorials or labs. Just two lectures. :p

    And as for hand-written code - in the final exam we have to handwrite the code. Was very annoying at Christmas when I didn't leave enough room between lines and I had to insert extra things. Debugging with a tippex mouse is a strange experience :p

    No labs? Feh, that's ****ty. I did Intro to Programming a few years ago before they split it into non-CS and CS flavours, so I got the proper course. The handwritten code in exams thing is a pain though.

    The handwritten code is annoying, but at least the examiner mightn't be able to notice small mistakes, such as syntax, that easily (because he is not actually running the program!)

    CS is now completely denominated so they do their own Programming modules - we don't mix with them! They're also doing C this year, but obviously at a more advanced level than we are!

    Fantastic! However, I have two Saturday exams and neither of them appear up. I just used the 'Student Life' tab of UCD connect to get the individual Saturday times, but it's a bit limited seeing as lots of people have Saturday exams!
