if you are looking for any solutions to those labs then hit me up (if they haven't changed).

News from 4th year: I'm ****ed

Seems to be summed up pretty perfectly. If we're allowed do OOAD in java it might not be as bad as the guys who had to learn it in C#, its just the complete lack of direction of the module is making it impossible

Sent you a PM there CoderDozer

I messaged you as well but I don't think the image of the screenshot appeared, it'd be the same as AntiRip if you can post on to me, thanks.

I don't have timing one (too trivial or couldn't be arsed, cant remember) but I have the employee one if that's any good.

I assume its the doubly linkedlist lab ?? that one looks a tough one , I,ve only glanced at it so far though

Encrypted Pigeon

no the screeny was for lab 2 where you time the different operations

ah we did that one last week ... bit tricky initially but ok once you get idea of it.

Encrypted Pigeon

ah ok, I was a bit lax on the first two as there was no report required, but should have all the rest, so offer still stands.

Are you stuck on the timing of ArrayLists and LinkedLists?

Anything I have on that wont be of much use to you as it changes every year.

Yeah, it's very off the cuff delivered module as we all know

Pretty much, Its more trying to implement the code than anything else. Gonna try it again now and see if i get anywhere.

If you still have problems just add the code to our Media Presentation dropbox folder and I'll have a look at it for you and give you some pointers

siblers

Cool, thanks.

Any of ye done that strategy document for Interactive Web Media? Not really sure what i'm supposed to put in it.

Very basic 'vision' for your personal end of term portfolio site.. pretty basic from what I gathered

3 weeks down, pretty much how I feel so far

Lads in here: Seriously, just look back to the very beginning of this thread. When this forum was set up this one thread was the strongest because of all who built it up, you guys!

Look back to where you all started in our IT in Tralee and how, just look at how far you have all come with your education in Tralee.

I'm proud of you all & I know you all have it in you to complete this year also with flying colours

Just keep believing in yourselves,

Yeah, I was looking back at this thread a few weeks back and while time flies in college, looking back at some of the stuff we did in first semester seems a lifetime ago. Pretty good going the way this thread has kept going considering so few of us actually use it!

Any first years would probably run for the hills if they saw some of the stuff in here :pac:

AntiRip

I posted a rant...

We'll soldier on

Couple more weeks we'll be half way there

The software crowd definitely have the better exposure with having more "relevant" modules unlike MM and games where there are some questionable ones. I reckon if the option was available to me I would have gone the software route as well. As for workload, it just gets progressively worse year by year, in fourth year now and its already a juggling act with assignments and study, not to mention that thesis which always manages to get sidelined, pure ****ing circus stuff.

Edit: aww, you deleted your rant, my post has no context now

siblers

Wish I had done interactive multimedia myself, . I never felt so lost in my life as that OOAD project last week and that was probably a fairly easy one.

Sorry CoderDozer. Had second thoughts about the rant
I'm also getting a little paranoid about the thread and afraid lecturers may be viewing it also. 3rd year is a big change.

That was fairly wreckless alright for us MM. They were going through that TFS above at the computer like they were doing it since 1st year. I hadn't a clue what was going on. If we didn't have SD guys in our groups it would be 0 for all of us.

We should remember this I think

The moral is very low at the moment alright. Today was a stinker for all of us I think.

CoderDozer, how are the 4th years getting on with job placement? Have you any idea what kinda jobs (if any) the 4th year multimedia students have signed up for.

Encrypted Pigeon

We were basically being told if we have connections, try and leverage those if we can. The guy handling us said he will try and set up interviews with some of his connections or interested companies but beyond that its pretty much up to yourself.

Obviously this year is allot different than in previous years in that the max that had been placed was ~30, this year is what? 100+ so its untested water. But I think the line that is being peddled is be "creative" i.e. offer services to build a website or some sort. If they don't want tell them their getting one anyway

Third's years have been told this too but being creative and doing random websites and all that is more like free-lancing. I'd be hoping to get valuable work experience with a team of software developers and experience how they go about their work and get trained into it some bit. But it looks like we'd have to leave Kerry to get something like this... despite what we've been told about the great IT sector. Free-lancing is something you do the at the weekends if you've got time, I've done some of that myself. But I don't see doing random things on your own as part of a proper 12wk work experience.

Encrypted Pigeon

No argument here, shadowing someone in a company is the best way to learn.

siblers

I'm tempted by that thing of teaching transition year students some web design but it only makes up part of the work placement, I don't kno what else I can do beside some free lance stuff.

Yeah, still not started the java assigment, I have the weekend put aside to do that and IWM. Fun times. I can see myself spending 4/5 hours at java and having 2 lines of code written
