The hows the exams going thread

Baggly

so how are we all doing?

need to vent?

my first exam was a pain in the john dole, but the rest have been marginally easy. last two on thurs and fri, so we ll see how they go

Creamy Goodness

had three so far,

programming - fair paper
management - lol how much is summer repeats???
maths - good topics came up but questions were a tad different than last year.

to go i got...

problem solving and algorithmic design - i hope there's like a snow day on monday

computer technology - should be alright.

mine start tuesday...yay

Ah sure, they've all been a laugh so far...

German Culture - Not too bad, though one whole question was based on a topic that most of the class seemed to be absent for.
German Literature - Went ok I reckon... exam time was an hour shorter then previous years, yet the paper was nearly the exact same length.
History and Issues of Irish Journalism - Complete joke. Exam was exactly the same as previous years, but our lecturer was not. Anything we put down on paper came from our own heads, not from anything the lecturer told us. Ick.

3 more to go. Joy.

i can't see any reason why computer scientists will ever have the need to whip out the oul calculatron 2000 and work out the t-ledger accounts or whatever.

so far exams seem to be going ok, i suppose. i should pass everything (bar one dodgy looking exam) but this week ends in maths, which i am royally screwed for.

Dude... if you're not in first year, how did you win Fresher 05/06 ?

Baggly

excuse 1: it took alot but i managed it

excuse 2: what are you talking about, it obviously says 05

excuse 3:as this years fresher of the year was awarded to 3 people, the award is negated and i retain the title until ONE fresher of the year is announced.

take your pick
