Csm3 Project Demos

car · 25-04-2005 3:31pm #1

I am just wondering if any of ye out there, have presented you CSM3 Project demo last year. What did they ask you, was it hard, what should I look out for !!
Any tips, would be apreciated, As I am dreading doin mine.

I'm not in csm, but I was in programming 3rd year last year, and the demo's were probably similar. If there's anything special about your project, make sure you point it out, and make sure you avoid bug's to your best ability.
You don't need to worry really, all you have to do is show that you know your project works. Be calm and you should be fine, the lecturers aren't out to get you. Also don't get defensive about your project, they won't like that at all, if something isn't working, or one of them suggests you should have done something differently, keep your cool. Someone in my class was metaphorically assraped because of his reaction to the questions/comments from the lecturers.

Again be calm and you should be fine, and don't swear if something goes wrong, some lecturers might get offended.....that's something you're better off not learning from experience.

curtis, the CSM demos are a bit different as far as i know. they make you go through your whole project then ask you a few questions bout the code. last year all they asked us was to show them our projects in action. nothing bout the code.

Peter Lowe. if your program takes input, expect him to put in extreme numbers like 40 trillion.

done mine today and it was fine.

they asked alot about validation. asked to see a tiny piece of code. basically they just asked me go throught the main functions.

its different to the cw019 interview where the lecturers had already gone though your project and pointed out the errors to you. they hadnt seen the site before and didnt search rigorously for errors, just wanted to see if one popped up under normal circumstance.

Hello... I think it depends on you to be honest like if they think you've got all the code from the internet they'll ask you to explain it.. or if u have wicked graphics they'll ask how u made them etc.

They do ask about validation... I think they fancy validation wit woooooh!
SO eh if u havent PUT VALIDATION IN!!!!!!

yeah i suppose it will vary from person to person.

but it wasnt as bad as i thought it was going to be. has anyone got on really badly?

It was straightforward for me, I didn't have ?????????????????? for a interviewer though. From what I've heard she savages projects like a .. savage

elvis2002 · 28-04-2005 4:54pm

modest as ever laguna!

ah no in fairness it was a sinch, they could have made it so much more difficult but were happy to just discover how well you understood what you had done.

any sign of class party laguna?

kegan5 · 29-04-2005 8:44am

forget about the csm3 project think about the csm4 work experience... what time is it? I can't even see the clock is so god darn early aaaargh!!!!
It's actually painfully early, meh anyway!

Hope all your projects went well, have they all finished now?
