Timetables won't work!

LollyAnn · 14-09-2010 4:34pm #1

Hi, I'm trying to log into see the timetables but I keep getting a message saying there's a problem with the server? Is anyone else getting this?

kirving · 14-09-2010 4:37pm

Yeah, there's a problem alright. I haven't been able to log in for the past week or so.

(Just make sure that you're using the generic user names and passwords as opposed to your student number)

Me too. I'm sure terrible service will be resumed shortly eventually.

I'd say that they are probally updating the system or changing timetables!

Well, I suppose the best advice is don't go on the piss too much during the year and try pass the exams

. I found first year to be heavy going workload wise but not that difficult. Certainly manageable to pass if you put a bit of work in.
Second year is a good bit harder, it seems to throw people (me included!) when the workloads start piling up, but again its manageable.
I didnt find 3rd year too bad, first year in the course with no repeats, found C++ the hardest in second year, but I hear theres been changes since I did it and there may be a more lets say supportive lecturer teaching it!

I think you need to enter the weeknumbers in the first semester or something like that, I never really got my head around that thing and I'm going into 4th year!

You'll probably be split into 2 classes and you'll find out which one you're in on the day

Not everyone does work experience in 3rd year, I didn't do it and did the subjects instead, I suppose there is a chance a company that hires you could offer you a job in the future, but more than likely they have it setup so they will just take on new students to do the work instead as their in the programme
