I was not impressed that there wasn't a physical roll taking at critical nonsense today, an hour that should have been spent on the computing project !

The Wednesday is very tough going at it there'll be a revolution yet!

I drew a line at licking coins and waving my hands in the air! :rolleyes:

I will need a course in anger management after this semester!

Yep. To prove a point that there is 2 sides to every story or something. It's seriously baffling that this module is taken seriously by administration.

I can see why it was made mandatory and not just an elective!

P.S As in not many would take it up

siblers · 22-02-2013 12:53am

Ironically for a module about creative thinking, all its doing is leaving me annoyed and deflated. Today's class was an absolute mockery. One of our classes should be recorded and sent off to the head of department.

Critical Thinking... we have more than five senses, a ball of paper is technically a paper plane... what next?!
Trying to argue against these facts is like arguing to a priest that there is no god. There is just no giving in...
You're classed as a person who doesn't think outside of the box if you can't solve a brain teaser within a few mins...

Any guesses for what next weeks exercises may be? Lick the desk? Stand on our heads? Oh the life of a computer student

siblers · 22-02-2013 11:10pm

The 5 senses really took the biscuit. How is hunger a sense. It's science for **** sake. If we get asked to do any of the bull**** like we did this week we should do what the third years did and refuse.

JFlah · 26-02-2013 12:26pm

C Project 1 is beginning to really irritate me!!! Grrrrrrr

siblers · 26-02-2013 2:06pm

Yeah, thought I was making great progress, showed a SQL query problem with catherine and now have to change around one of my modules. Mighty craic

JFlah · 26-02-2013 9:52pm

Dear god I'm just writing reflective journal ! I' ve basically managed to disagree with every theory put forward so far

:)

siblers · 01-03-2013 7:37pm

Anyone know if the labs are open tomorrow?

I have no idea sorry. I came back today at 3pm and when into a lab. At 3.30pm all the computers just turned off without warning! No shut down at all, just switched off. I went around to a couple of labs and they were all switched off which was strange as it was only half 3

Someone mentioned to me that it's 3.30 every Friday lately

siblers · 01-03-2013 11:37pm

That's happened to me a couple of times antirip, its highly annoying. Wish they'd make it a bit clearer about lab opening times.

namenotavailablE · 02-03-2013 3:37pm

It would be definitely worth notifying this request to the computer Help Desk- I'm not a techy but I'd have thought it should be very straightforward to have a popup message appear at a scheduled time each Friday alerting users to the imminent shutdown on an active computer.

An app or link to a page with opening times of labs and times when labs are free would be very handy. I must have miles walked up and down each corridor checking for free labs. Sometimes when you do find a free lab, it doesn't have the software you want installed. Very frustrating at times.

Had 2 machines randomly power off on me today in the middle of work. Was ready to put my fist through the monitor the 2nd time round.

Did you get your database connected to your VS on your laptop at all?

I didn't but I didn't really try properly either. Will get it done next week hopefully, been spent wed-friday doing my flash project. Took a lot more time than I expected it to.

Hi all,

For anyone doing 2d Animation this semester ...CA results are on x drive/my docs .

enjoy

I only found it by accident bit secretive otherwise.

Cool, sound for that.

Is our routing exam gonna be like our network fundamentals one from last semester? Just based off question one on the exam paper?

I will hazard a guess and say yes. He usually follows the CCNA type of multiple choice questions.

Didn't think we'd have 50 or 60 questions though

JFlah · 09-04-2013 9:58pm

Network still down ... must be serious

siblers · 09-04-2013 11:28pm

Yeah, if they aren't back up tomorrow morning I'm gonna have to stay at home.

A horrible dilema alright, I just hope they are back up so i'll have no choice but to come in for it.

Just spent the last 5 hours doing critical thinking. How every Sunday should be spent :pac:

Had to redo my journal, but in doing so gave me a good idea of what to do for the report and presentation. :cool:

Not much really, my brain goes into standby mode when doing critical nonsense.

JFlah · 02-05-2013 9:59am

Finally the end of a tough semester is near , it has been hard going !
Feeling a bit strange having no pressure - you get used to it.

Best of luck everyone with exams etc.

Man, its a great feeling to have that year over with. Today was a tough one with the CT presentation and having the chat with JW over the labs, although it wasn't that bad at all in the end.

Going to take a well deserved break for a few days now and start the revision for OOP and Routing Monday.

Same as; doing f all for the weekend it's been a tiring few weeks

gbro800 · 03-05-2013 2:32pm

siblers · 03-05-2013 7:17pm

Yeah, definitly taking the weekend off. Had a 14 hour sleep thursday night. It was glorious.

I wonder was that one of the projects from our web design project from last year? Nice site in fairness.

AntiRip · 04-05-2013 8:31am

14 hours! Man that's 2 nights sleeps for me

Thought I could get a sleep in this morning but I'm so used of getting up around 6.30-7.00am that I wake up this time every morning.

That site looks crap on safari on tablet so can't judge it properly. Definitely not the winner either.

I had to do an all nighter wednesday night and was only getting 5-6 hrs the other nights so it was thoroughly deserved!

siblers · 15-05-2013 9:15pm

Really didn't like q1 today. I thought there was no way we'd get asked the same question from the CA we had this year. Questions ones from previous years were a lot easier as well. Can't hand write code to save my life, had to do out my q1 constructor 3 fecking times.

probably a bit tricky in places alright paper overall was good though imo

Got through them anyway, bit disapointed with my computing project (65%) thought I would have done a bit better, my documentation was atrocious so maybe not :pac:. Need to get stuck in with some java and OOA over the summer now though.

very happy with mine did best in the 2 i wanted to do best in , project and oop .

gbro800 · 07-06-2013 6:12pm

Happy with mine overall, also the Project and OOP were my best modules, might do some Java/coding over the summer but time to enjoy the Sun for now

Opinicus · 08-06-2013 3:30pm

Well I'm out of here! I can now officially put B.Sc. (Hons) on the CV! I thought this year would never end.:D

Thanks to everyone here for the chat and banter, wish ye all the best in the future.
