Grinds and such

BKtje

..Soooo i got down to doing some Calculus & stats study this weekend before my MCQ on monday to realise that i have absolutely no idea wtf anything means or why it does what it does.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a place on campus thats good for giving advice about grinds and such as i desperately need them for this module (my only blessing is that tomorrows exam isnt negatively marked so im bound to get a few right from random rickage ). Obviossly this means im gonna need a very good mark in my summer exams (or auguest repeats) so thought i'd better bite the bullet and look for some grinds.
Im gonna email the CS advisor (Owen Fallon?) tommorrow to see what he suggests but thought i'd ask the experienced peeps here as well.

Cheers for any info/suggestions.

Well if you've got any particular questions post them up here, there's a few people on here who would probably be able to help you.

What year are you in?

you can post any calculus here and i can certainly help you, stats i can have a go at but there's probably a few ppl here better than me at it.

there's also a Maths and Engineering forums under the 'Sci' section - you could also try there.

cheers for offer folks but its really not any one thing..more the whole bloody course. I just need someone to sit down with me and go through it step by step. I was able to muddle through last semester but this lecturers notes aren't as good as last semesters (imo) and am having major problems.

I'll see what Owen Fallon suggests (am in 1st year btw).

did you stick a sign up looking for grinds in the eng building today? there was one up looking for calculus grinds.

I saw a similar sign in the Quinn School too.

BKtje

lol nope, no signs.
Never even been in the engineering building if im honest.

If it's any help, Owen, I saw a notice offering Stats grinds on the notice board in the restaurant today!

BKtje

ah cheers ill look into that.
BTW, you ever get a response to that programming "page" that we could get into but probably shouldnt have been able to? You know the one im talking about

Checked a while ago and they'd locked it. Checked it last night again and it's back to being wide open :rolleyes:

yeah rainbow-kirby, you're in eng, aren't you? Wanna give me grinds on my second year probability + mechanics?
....anyone?

rainbow kirby

Me = Comp Sci. But I've passed courses in probability and mechanics back in the dim and (relatively) recent past so if you've got questions post them up here and I'll see what I can do.

Which page is this now...?

BKtje

Super secret cool page which gives you 100% marks if you so wish... ITS TRUE!

Unfortunately, it is true. I told two of the postgrads about it and they closed it for a while, but now it's back open. There's really not much else I can do bar emailing Fintan, which I might at some stage if I'm arsed.

BKtje

arsed ... as in at the end of the semester after we somehow get 100% in all our practicals?

Waltons

Of course

BKtje

sounds good to me

Dave!

I hate you both :mad:

PaulDoh

:mad:

Less of the talk and more of the linkage to said page.

If it isn't just some fantastic myth borne out of a desperation to pass Intro to Prog 2. Which the case may be.

We demand evidence!

(Please?)

Waltons found it one day. We promised not to tell and since we are goody goody's we stick by it

Besides i'd never cheat, only cheating yourself*








* yeah that should hold
