Sorry, when I said yesterday that it'd be open I forgot it was a bank holiday and only open to those with keycard access.

When are the exams actually over completely?

jamo2oo9 · 02-05-2015 3:30pm

Exams are over on the 18th afaik

onethreefive · 02-05-2015 3:34pm

Is anyone here really good at economics and able to give me grinds for 2 hours? I basically just have a few things I need made clearer.

VanishingActs · 03-05-2015 2:55pm

Why did I decide to study a language in college. Why. :mad:

Anyone in the library? Is there seats?

From what I can see, not that many. I didn't really look around me though

Pete123456 · 04-05-2015 11:56am

Very few... met a few others walking around looking. Queue for the bigger computer room, the other is full too

onethreefive · 04-05-2015 2:20pm

Ran out of paper and I'm in the library and can't go home to get more

Spar by the butchers sells refill pads and stuff. I had to get some there yesterday. I can give you some paper either if you'd like?

Midkemia · 04-05-2015 2:34pm

So wait everyone is in the library and i'm here chilling at home drinking tea and watching tv :P

Sorry only saw this now! I ran down to the spar cos I needed to get a 2B pencil aswell haha.. They are running low on 2B pencils from what I could see :P

You're grand :P I don't think that I've ever actually used a 2B pencil for an MCQ exam. I just use whatevers in the pencil case and lean hard on it :P

Chris Martin · 04-05-2015 6:39pm

Sometimes use pen... :cool:

As long as you don't use like H5 you should be alright.. :P

We should really have a "LIBRARY WATCH!" thread tbh. :pac:

I see what this is... a competitor for my amazing app idea...
I'm a man who at the moment is very savvy with his business terms so perhaps you'd fancy a merger... That's the only one I can really use but I've a backlog more if things are a go :P

Can I buy shares in the company? I'll buy ye both a Freddo or sausage rolls. In fact, I'd give ye 1.5 sausage rolls each!

onethreefive · 05-05-2015 7:22am

Is the library only open at half 8?

Never mind I was looking at the wrong timetable

wnolan1992 · 05-05-2015 10:31am

Not gonna lie Chris, I'm legitimately thinking of making that app for my FYP now... :P

I'm the same, I can't motivate myself to care about this exam. And even though I'm really bored as I've no essays to do, and there's nothing on FB or boards.ie, I still won't look at my notes. But at the same time I'm convincing myself I can't go anywhere because I have an exam to study for! :pac:

onethreefive · 05-05-2015 1:54pm

If I get between 30% and 35% in a module but my QCA is over 2 can I compensatory pass the module?

Assuming that an F isn't either of those grades, yep!

If I got an F in the exam but it brought me to over 40% overall when you count assignments can I pass? I hope I was nowhere near an F but I'm just trying to reassure myself I passed :P The lecturer said that you don't have to pass the final exam to pass overall so I'm wondering if I could still pass even if I got an F in the exam?

Yeah that's fine

Yup, not ideal (especially if this years QCA counts towards co-op), but it'll still be a pass.

I should have got more than that but I'm keeping my estimates low to avoid disappointment haha :P

onethreefive · 05-05-2015 3:11pm

I could really do with that library seat checker app right now! Is there many free seats?

North of 32 · 06-05-2015 8:09am

I remember someone giving a speech in first year saying UL was the best university in Ireland.

That has since been proven wrong again, and again, and again. Sulis is down (every year without fail), the administration is lazy and feckless, and the library is fit for about a handful of students.

And I hope one of you prowlers read this. I cannot wait to leave.

Edit: Now that's what I call a bitch! :pac:

onethreefive · 06-05-2015 9:24am

I'm stressed enough as it is without Sulis not working. WHY???!!!

wnolan1992 · 06-05-2015 9:45am

It amuses me that people never learn the "SULIS WILL GO DOWN" lesson. You need to learn how to work around ITD in UL, not rely on it!

Submitted an assignment on SULIS back in April. Got an email yesterday saying "Oi! You haven't submitted the assignment. If you don't submit today, you'll have to repeat in August."... :rolleyes:

It should end up being fine, but it's annoying not knowing what grade I got in that assignment before the exam, since there's the potential for the exam to have 2 questions relating to it...

onethreefive · 06-05-2015 9:56am

It worked

It stopped working

Now you know that when its back working that you should download everything on SULIS for the rest of your exams :P

Every time it goes down I say that, next time, I will definitely do this.

Do I? Course not :pac:

Yes, imagine relying on the key services of an institute that declares itself the best in Ireland and makes sure we know about every award it has won.

A university whose IT structure has declined every year since I arrived in 2011.

It hasn't got better but it hasn't been declining every year either.

iLaura · 06-05-2015 11:15am

Haha, yer wan beside me in the library has no paper left so she went into the room with printers and took peoples pink sheets with the ID numbers. Its actually really clever.

phish · 06-05-2015 1:05pm

You know what's more annoying than people leaving their stuff at a desk in the library and going off somewhere?

People who come into the library when its busy and take up a desk to play games on their laptops with a really loud computer mouse, especially when it is some sort of shooter game that involves clicking a lot!

Seriously this guy beside me has been at it for an hour now and its sooo annoying, especially as I've no headphones and there are people looking for seats to study in!

I know back in 1st year that for a virtual worlds module one of my friends was advised by her lecturer to start playing World of Warcraft to get an idea of how the world was set up and stuff :P So 'technically' he could be studying. Incredibly unlikely, especially since that project was due in like week 8 of first semester. But hey, he could use that as an excuse :P

I suppose that *could* be a reason but seeing as he's no books or anything with him cept his phone and laptop he could surely do it somewhere else and let someone else use the table.

I actually think the mouse annoys me most, really wish I hadn't left my headphones at home now

Just here for the quick wired internet :P

You can buy a pair of headphones in Spar for a fiver. The sound quality from them isnt the best though

I've a spare pair with me if you want them?

phish · 06-05-2015 1:31pm

Thanks guys went to spar and bought a pair seeing I didn't just leave them at home in Limerick I left them at home in Galway so needed the pair

I was sitting near him aswell and left (had to leave soon anyway but still!). It was so annoying. Constant clicking for over an hour. Alot of people were getting annoyed.

I'm getting annoyed by the people who have taken it upon themselves to run around on the second floor -.-

He's still here. Went downstairs to print something and couldn't see him when I was walking back to my seat, got so excited because he has started breathing really heavily as well (SOO glad I got those headphones!!!) but his stuff is still here
