Anyone else sick of it

Webmonkey

Hi There,

Hows the exams going for everybody. I'm living in college now, so much work to do. I'm quite sick of it to be honest, the class has gone mental. We no longer function normal anymore. On top of this I've got a awful cold, FYP report due Friday, presentation friday, over due assignment Monday simply because it was un realistic to get it done as being going straight assignment after assignment for that last month or two.

Anyone else in a similar boat? - I need to talk to the outside world before I lose it. Chistmas is out the door also as all our exams in January simply because it was our fault that we came back 2 weeks later than rest of college because of work placement.

We are the guinea pigs for this modularisation system, lets hope after some evalulation they will relise that such a work load on students is far from realistic.

Sorry about the rant but had to leave it out.

I think everyones fed up. Iv lost interest over the last month and have'nt been putting in the effort. I can't wait for the month off in january.

I was semesterised last year and didn't find it that bad. But this year it's been an actual joke. I haven't had five minutes to myself in months. Handed in my last assignment last friday and currently doing exams. Can't wait until friday when it's all over. Not back til end of march then as i am on work experience. Really greatful for the break from the place

+1 to everything above. Workload is an absolute joke. And a lot of repetition. I've to build like 3 websites next semester!! And I'm doing ITS!!

Lads, its prob cos the lecturers aren't used to this semesterisation stuff that they do so much work. I know quite a few people in CIT, they are doing crazy amounts of work, same as me in UCD really, but its just when you're not used to it, it seems like madness. My mates say they normally do very little work in first half of the year, as they are used to doing it all closer to end of year. It will get better though when modules are revised to suit the time constraints of one semester.

I'm sure modularisation is good if done properly. It isn't done properly CIT currently though as it will take years of evaluation to get the swing of things.

This year is dodgy out, no choices of modules which goes against whole reason of modularisation.
Hopefully the second semester will be easier though I'm dreading it with the monster of a FYP i chose to do! My own fault though.

On plus side, got all doucmentation for FYP done today and delivered and done my presentation. All went well. No for that assignment....

Haha, yeah, my mates down there were saying the same. Unfortunately ye are experiencing modularisation there in its early years. It'll eventually work out, but not for ye to experience.

Would it not have worked fto allow final years stick with the old regime, while 1st years do modularisation?

Webmonkey

1st years had it last year so they started with it. Then this year 2/3/4 got it. To be honest, if it was gradually brought in 4 years, where only lastyear's first years experienced it, it may have being ok. But providing this flexibility might have being hard.

I'm in first year and don't find it too bad but assignments are a pain in the ass for me like too many at once but i juggle it

We were the first course in Cit to try it electronic eng 3 yrs ago, and it was completely mental up to xmas alright, we had 8 end of year exams in December.. But the 2nd term was more relaxing with a big project taking alot of our time, and we didnt get any month off. So basically im saying stick with it cause your nothing without a qualification in this world.

Lads don't listen to this fella.

He's a noted belly-acher and was run out of Intel last year for moaning.

Great dancer though...

I wouldnt mind but ive never talked to them and i keep to myself in college so it wasnt something i liked reading....

That's not very nice and especially in public. Wouldn't worry about it, you get all sorts in CIT.

Who's this lady lecturer? You'd never know who could be reading this. Be careful.

I don't think there should be any talk of lectuers what so ever at all in this forum or their quality as it could cause this forum to close down. Think it happened the CITSU forums before.

You can say that again evil-monkey. I did second year ITS last year what a pain in the ****** the networking projects was absolutly ridiculous 3 weeks to do a project on making a huge network. let alone that nobody knew what was going on except people that had done the physical side of networking before which was about 3 in the class. there was so much crammed into the whole year in 2nd year that I failed my exams at the end of the year and then when came back after work experience to try and repeat the exams again after studying all summer long I fail them again. The board in CIt and the lecturers are really tough in there and dont cut you some slack at all. Its a bit manic to be honest and I definetly wont be going doing any courses in CIt again. Tried talking to the Head of Computing Department and it was like talking to the wall. So even though cit has the tools the lecturers can't properly deliver the course material in a class environment.

Phroah that was a long rant but has to be done. Wont be going back there for IT courses:mad:
