    Got 17 in maths calculus, does this mean there is no hope of compensation? On the other hand got 51 in linear algebra delighted with that..

    Less than 25 and you have to repeat the module as far as I know. Work hard in second semester and use every possible resource you have at your disposal or 2nd semester and it should go a lot better.

    There's absolutely hope. I got 13 in Calculus and 47 in Linear Algebra. In semester 2 you need to work hard at statistics because it will really bring up your average. To pass by compensation you need 25%, but that's 25% across the 4 modules in first year maths (i.e. a combined average of 25% from 4 modules). If you're keeping on maths next year you have to get 35% to compensate as far as I know. But, don't be defeated! There's loads of hope yet! PM me anytime for more details if you want!

    "Expected out during the week" - so by my powers of deduction I predict that it will be either today (Tuesday), Wednesday, Thursday or Friday :P

    Its cold , I can't feel my nose or my toes. Also earlier the oil light came on in my car but my hands were too cold to get the engine oil cap open so I had to call security like a silly person 'cos there was no one else around :(

    Did I mention the cold.... :(

    Actually now that I'm all moany and ranty....

    What actually can be done about people talking in lectures / who should I complain to ?

    One of my lectures has a SERIOUS amount of talking/messing/general ignorance/disruption and I don't mean annoying loud whispering or the like but instead at least 1/2 the class having full blown conversations at a normal talking level as if they were in a coffee shop , laughing in the lecturers face when they answer a question asked (when the answer wasn't funny) and quite a lot of really irritating things like highlighter "fights" , snap chatting, general messing. It also always seems to be the same people :mad:

    Its starting to really get on my nerves as even if you sit up the front it can be really difficult to hear the lecturer because of all the noise around the hall. So I'd really like for it to STOP and not have this be a precedent for the year.

    I have also checked and disturbing lectures etc is against the university code of conduct with a possible fine of up to €150 / 12hrs university service. Which it would be amazing if that happened these people ( I've a serious vendetta at this stage- similar (but not as bad) problem last semester ! Though this lecturer doesn't seem to be as assertive as last semester , hence the increasing severity, which I expect to get even worse as people get more familiar with this lecturer etc. )

    So anyway what I'm saying is ; Is there anything that can be done , since it is mentioned in the code of conduct ?

    Secondly who can I say this to (with exception of the lecturer as they're obviously aware of it but don't seem to be doing anything about it, except for the odd be quiet, any questions etc. ) ?

    Haven't heard anything. I don't do Computer Science myself so I wouldn't know. Maths & Physics seem to be the only science departments that have released results so far that I know of.

    "2nd and 3rd years" - by my powers of deduction, you have excluded the final years from your prediction of 'this week'.

    Same here JB92. :( The nervous wait continues...

    Also, the weather was fucking horrible around lunchtime. Try walking from the Callan Building to Londis on Main St, you'll want to go into hibernation under a few duvets afterwards.

    Why cant the departments just post the results on Moodle?

    We got an email to say that the results where now on the notice board on Friday evening, and also informed us that the building would now be locked until Monday morning... It would take a whole of 10 seconds to upload the results to moodle, or even wait until we can actually go see them before telling us about them.
