Do you like your course in ITC?

SanNJay

Obviously first years won't know yet but they will when they get going at it in September?

But for those of you who have done the college thing and are maybe going back did you like the course?

Forget the college life, I'm talking about the course itself, the lectures and the time put in...

I'll go first

Course?: Computer Systems Management
Year?: 4
Like it?: Not at all.

BSc. Computer Networking (No longer exists)
Year 4 (again)
I loved about 51% of the course and found the rest pretty pointless.

my friends wanted to do the networking part and the lectures brought them into a room and told them there wouldn't be any jobs for them afterwards! think they just didn't want the hassle of running the course because there were only 5 students interested.

I really loved the Telecomms part of the course and there are telecomms job out there but I can't apply for them yet as I have no qualification. I'm 95% finished college but I keep failing my Final Year Project. I'd give up but if I do that I leave with nothing. Its a straight degree course. No cert, no diploma, nothing. Just the degree so until I pass the FYP I have no piece of paper.

SanNJay

i know i'm lucky that way, i got my cert, then ordinary degree now honors degree is next.

Well done you for sticking at it though. Alot of people would just drop out. Are you going back this year then?

doing ITsupport, going into 2nd year next year.
On work experience atm in dublin.
Im doing this course to work me up to a 3rd+4rd year mainly in programming.

Course is alright, altho i found Interpersonal communications a boring and awkward waste of time, especially in a IT course.

SanNJay

I know exactly what you mean. Some of the subjects you are literally sitting there asking yourself what on earth it has to do with what you've chosen to study.

unfortunately I got the choice of study wrong!

The lecturers actually did everything they could to persuade us to do networking, they told us we would be 100% certain to find a good job.:)

Eventually, 13 of us did it and most are now going into 3rd year of CSM because they dont have a third year Networking. The course itself was fairly easy except for Fibre Optics and Electronics

SanNJay

must of had a change of hear the following year so..
