I know, I don't like wasting time on this issue as well, it's just we're all annoyed, obviously!

I know, and that's very understandable.

I'm just saying to you and to all the previous people arguing about how the examiners will deal with it: let them at it, it's not their first time dealing with such issues, and while there may not be any perfect solution without time-travel, they will come up with the fairest one they can.

Bit harsh, but I can see where you're coming from :P There were only like 5 people who talked at all!
Good times :')

Did you make it past the first test? I remember half the class disappearing after that.

Nope :P I didn't even look at any of the notes we were given apart from at the lectures (not even the night before the test). Went in on the day, managed about three questions, didn't have a clue about the rest :L kinda regret it now cause feel I probably coulda done a lot better :P how'd you get on with it?

Q5 does, in fact, have two answers. It's called the ambiguous case as one possible angle is acute while the other possible angle is obtuse.

Ah well. Back to school for me! :mad:

Ego's taking a bit of a bruising There was a group of us, and we weren't actually that loud in fairness. We had the craic anyway, which was the main thing.

Hmmm.. Maybe. I'm getting the impression from others that the 30 marks will b awarded to everyone which will cancel the question out, basically, and in turn will lead to changes in the marking scheme. i.e. making it stricter/harder , so as to maintain the normal distribution of grades. But maybe not. It doesn't really matter I don't think , They'll get the marks back of us somehow.. We love you SEC...

Poor old CP when he logs in tomorrow! :pac:

Mind you, given his comments elsewhere in the forum, Prod can't be saying much about what anyone chooses to watch in bed!



Edit: Oh, wait, you meant mine?

You should have been around when last year's smutty lot were in residence! :pac:

Can we just take a moment to stop whinging and realise that said mistake may be the one thing that means people like me pass the exam and do not have to repeat next year...(hopefully)

Amen.
seriously, if this gets me enough marks to let me pass it might just make me believe in a higher power after all. i don't mean ^3 either

No you weren't. Afaik most people left them out and I don't think the SEC wanted you to include them either as there's no clear way of finding out how many of them were or were not satisfied with the service.

What was the stats question

Edit yea I see it now
You had to include them .
The questions were if somebody was selected a random what is the prob that he was satisfied

If you picked somebody out they may not know

Is this what you's mean
I'm only droping in and out of these covos

Hmm Perhaps I misinterpreted Alan56's post. It is true you had to include them for the total number of people surveyed but you didn't include them in the number of people who were dissatisfied with the service.

I love how the SEC are saying students will not be disadvantaged by the screw up. It's a tad late now.

Anyway, Joe duffy will be going on about the mistake today apparently (Mammy says so) so shtick on the radio if you're at home !
