Clubby, if you're interested in coming, there's still tickets left! There's only 4 of us going so far but if anyone is interested they're welcome to come. It should be a good gig.

WHo's heading out 2nyt i cant get thru to my friemd i was meant to be heading in with hahah good alll des..i have my bits and women don't... basically i have a penis!

Nah its Stephen, but close enough! I'll be there in the Hub from round 8 onwards with hopefully a good few others. I'd say a few people will be heading straight out to the Purty for later on, but we said we'd head to the Hub first just for us staying on campus so we can head in together, or if anyone else just wanted to head there instead. Either way, you're welcome to come along (and that includes all your fellow CS'ers reading the topic but aren't posting )

Catuohy

No headache for me, just getting up at 11am missing most of my lectures >_>


Twas a great night

Clubby

bit confused..do we have media technology tomorrow or no?

Daysha

Nah we don't. Workshops for that don't start till next week.

Its the LCI module that's confusing everyone!

Diarmsquid

A success indeed, although I'm never touching Fizz again.
Roll on Fresher's Ball!

mehfesto2

What time we in tomorrow?
The timetables gone gammy online and I've no printed version!

ModFox

anyone up for a class night out this week coming?

bigger. better. (even though last weeks one will be hard to beat)

Daysha

In all fairness, do you even need to ask?!

ModFox

No... not really

Let me rephrase...

WHEN would everyone like to go out for a bigger and better commie night?

(better?!:rolleyes:)

Heya lads,

I hope you don't mind me intruding on your thread here.

I was wondering if someone could give me the low down on this course. I'm really considering going on to do it next year, but I'm terribly confused at the moment.

I just want to know what the course is like, what exactly you do etc. Because I have read the about it on the DCU website, but it's not the same as getting a personal opinion from people who do it.

They say it opens loads of opportunities in the working world, but sure....they all say that.


Thanks

Im considering doing this course after my leaving cert( In 6th year) and id just like to know a few things:

• Is it an enjoyable course?
• What subjects would you need to be strong in to do well?
• Is there a lot of learning?
• Any other things youd add about the course?

Daysha

To the two posters above, I'm sure there's someone with more time than I do at the moment that'll run through all those questions, but one thing I'll recommend is read back on the rest of this topic. Me and all the other CS1ers were asking the exact same questions as you guys and they were all answered really well, so you'd do yourself no harm looking back on it all.

ModFox

• Is it an enjoyable course?
• What subjects would you need to be strong in to do well?
• Is there a lot of learning?

Even though I've only been doing this course for a month.. it's sooo class!! If you pick it you'll have so much fun.
In 1st year anyways there isn't that much "learning" to do.. by learning i mean swallowing a paragraph of info and then producing it on a page a week later. It's all to do with group presentations and assignments... CRITICAL THINKING GUYS.
I'm not so sure about the whole being "strong" in a subject.. there is so many different types of modules it's hard to say. There is def something for everyone here though.. whether you want to be behind a camera or in front of a camera.

Good luck in choosing!
And in the Leaving ...*shiver*

Yup. Check it out:

And I dunno, it's a bit hard to predict points. Stick it down sure. Who knows what you'll get in the LC

Im torn between this course and anonther in DCU, What kind of career can you be looking into getting into after the course or what masters are available?

That's the great thing about CS. It really leads into so many different options of media related employment. You'll choose between video, radio and photo in 2nd year, but you still get to experience all 3 in 1st year to help make up your mind. Fancy a career in photography, choose photo. Prefer more of the video aspects of media, go for that.

As for the masters, there is Journalism (one I hope to do myself one day) but apparantly it's quite difficult to get in. Only 40 chosen out of 200 or so the last time I was told.

I hope you don't mind me intruding here, but I'm hoping to do this course next year. Just wondering about competition for places. I mean there's only 80 places, right? So aiming for 440 mightn't be enough? Anyway how many points did you students get in your leaving cert? Just need to know in terms of target setting.
