TheBoss11 · 19-08-2014 9:19am #1

Just wondering if anyone knows what the time table is like for DT315 (level 6 in business)

Cheers.

I think most of the timetables are up on the website (If you're starting in September)

Yes I'm starting in September and just trying see find out how the weeks would go. Would it be similar to a secondary school timetable? Can't seem to find it on the website unfortunately

AlabamaWorley · 19-08-2014 10:59am

I'd say the average day would be 9-5

sniffmybutt · 19-08-2014 12:47pm

Starting this course myself in September and I can't find the timetable either.

No, I tried the website with the login details but it says there not available. I'm assuming it's the same as secondary school timetables.

gauchesnell · 19-08-2014 6:31pm

hey

I cant post links sorry but there but if you look under the thread called Masters Timetable there is useful information there.

The timetabling website is useless though so dont forget you can get timetables at induction/through he school

Rachxo · 19-08-2014 6:34pm

This guide will show you how to find your timetables

Nope not yet, access students are due in early September.

sniffmybutt · 19-08-2014 6:53pm

Nope still havnt heard from SUSI but I expect too in the next 2-3 weeks

sniffmybutt · 19-08-2014 7:06pm

Ye I'm waiting for SUSI to get back on to me too

TheBoss11 · 19-08-2014 7:24pm

Nobody has heard from them yet. Not that I've heard of anyway. You doing DT315?

sniffmybutt · 19-08-2014 7:25pm

Ye accepted it with the round zero offer a few weeks ago

BonkeyDonker · 19-08-2014 7:31pm

PDf of DT315 timetabe for Semester 1 can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/sdlzjyw1cvw6nwh/DT315.pdf

sniffmybutt · 19-08-2014 7:42pm

that timetable looks confusing as **** to follow and looks like a long week.

gauchesnell · 19-08-2014 7:56pm

hey ya

DIT doesnt require you to pay fees upfront if you are waiting on SUSI. Make sure you register once you get your letter from DIT. If you havent received anything yet from DIT check out the dit.ie/studentservices website or contact them with any questions.

Induction dates etc are on the website except for the induction dates for the College of Business. The all generally happen the week of the 8th and normally you are contacted directly

Any queries call them...dont worry. You can call into the colleges aswell.

Hope this helps

Register contact details? What do you mean?

gauchesnell · 19-08-2014 8:42pm

my bad ...apologies writing on a ipad

Once you get your letter regarding registration (only if you are a new student) you register online.

Part of the registration process is either paying fees or providing your grant application details.

I will edit my post

TheBoss11 · 19-08-2014 8:46pm

Oh right. I just got accepted into my course Monday, when should I expect to get my letter?

gauchesnell · 19-08-2014 8:51pm

Direct from the site is as follows - remember offers are open for a week

What is the schedule for DIT issuing Invitations to Register?

The following is a guideline to the schedule of issuing the Invitations to Register:

For programmes commencing in September 2014:

CAO 1st Year Applicants

Round A and 0 - 13th August 2014

Round 1 - 29th, 30th August & 1st September 2014

Round 2 - 4th and 5th September 2014

Round 3 - 12th September 2014

Thereafter, weekly offers until places filled.

TheBoss11 · 19-08-2014 8:55pm

Yes I accepted my offer through CAO but haven't heard from DIT yet?

gauchesnell · 19-08-2014 8:58pm

perfectly normal.....dont worry.People are still accepting offers and will be for a while

If you are worried make sure to phone/email or call into the college.

Your in for around 15h per week, the timetable has had for the last two years 1 day off, usually a Wednesday.

The Link above is for both first and second years. Look at all the info and it says 1A and 1B, use this and you surname to work out the hours. A-O is 1A and M-Z is 1B.

The year is boring but make sure you don't fail any exams and best to do make a effort in Accounting and Quants as you will have them again in 2nd year.

Induction will take place the week beginning the 8 September. Access or Dare students are usually the Thursday/Friday.

Also just an example from the link above Information Technology 1 is listed 4 times, 2 for class A and 2 for class B. This is because each class will be split in half as the labs won't be big enough so attend the first classes to get your preferred choice as it can be the difference of going home or hanging around for hours waiting.

sniffmybutt · 20-08-2014 2:13am

Is the course all exam based or is there assignments aswell

TheBoss11 · 20-08-2014 9:42am

Got an email for the orientation course today. It starts on September 1st for 5 days. Can't wait!

Jamie2k9 · 20-08-2014 5:36pm

Both, exams are usually 60 or 70% and the rest is class exams/assignments. Try and do well in the class tests and assignments, it will be a big help.

sniffmybutt · 20-08-2014 7:04pm

Also will I need to get many books

Jamie2k9 · 20-08-2014 7:15pm

sniffmybutt wrote: »

No books, just take some notes and most material is on web courses or you will be given it in class.

sniffmybutt · 20-08-2014 7:37pm

Thanks for replying to my questions.

TheBoss11 · 20-08-2014 9:24pm

Do we need a laptop or iPad? Seems as there are no books

BonkeyDonker · 20-08-2014 11:36pm

There are books - and a small number of them should be avaiable through the library - it may just be a case that you do not require one all the time.

A tablet will pay for itself over the duration of the course purely through savings in not printing out lecture notes. But a laptop or tablet would be a great help, but not necessary as you can use the library computers for alot of that stuff.

However, and this is based upon my experience, if you are getting one or the other for the first time get a laptop, ideally a smallish netbook. I say this as the screen, while large enough to work on, is too small to really get stuck in a vicious youtube loop

Personal choice but I don't see a need as there was not a lot of note taking needed. Accounting and Quats will require the Maths notes and for other subject's they will say if you need to take it down as 90% is online.

There are books - and a small number of them should be avaiable through the library - it may just be a case that you do not require one all the time.

I didn't need a single book during first year in 2012/13.

How will I know if I'm in 1A or 1B? My surname is M and it says that 1A is A-O (and M is there) and 1B is M-Z ?? I don't get it??

Sorry meant A-L and M-Z. My name was with an M and I was 1B so expect your the same.

TheBoss11 · 21-08-2014 6:20pm

Genuinely can't wait to start!! Bring on September!

TheBoss11 · 21-08-2014 6:23pm

Has anyone registered yet?

Did you get in through CAO this year? Or are you a mature applicant

sniffmybutt · 21-08-2014 9:08pm

through CAO what about you

TheBoss11 · 22-08-2014 12:21am

sniffmybutt wrote: »

CAO. I done the LC this year. I accepted the course online but havnt registered with the college yet. Did they send you out a letter?

Ciaran511 · 22-08-2014 1:23am

I read online that letters should be received on the 28th and 29th of this month! Also the school of business will contact you directly about induction times or something (all of this is on the website somewhere)

Doing the same course and I was worried they never sent me out a letter and that I wouldn't be getting in at all!

sniffmybutt · 22-08-2014 1:38am

Ye last Friday they sent out a letter with my student ID and pin to register as well as my DIT email address and username. Yesterday I also got a blue welcome pack with a lot of crap in it like a student diary, a DIT pen, a lollipop and a couple of other things.

gauchesnell · 22-08-2014 9:43pm

hey ya

once you accept your place in the CAO the place is yours

So registration isn't a problem? Also when do I hear back from SUSI

sniffmybutt · 23-08-2014 1:11pm

Is anyone here going to go to that Orientation programme for the first week of September?

TheBoss11 · 23-08-2014 1:25pm

Yeah I'm going to go. You don't need to though, it's just to try settle you
