    and possibly have your student number and password saved by some third party.

    The site originates from a Computer Science MINDS society member that includes his full name in the site header.

    Not saying it's completely safe. But at least you know who might have a decrypted version of your log in details :D

    I read 'Giraffes' instead of 'Graphs' and immediately thought: I need a holiday. Someday I will go to http://www.giraffemanor.com/ - obviously when I get rich with my incredibly useful ancient history qualifications.

    Yeah didn't put my student no. and password into that thing, too much info about me can be accessed with those details. Would be easier to put in year of study and subjects surely?

    What does it do ? Just show exam papers?

    It aggregates the exam papers by subject & year, also how many days until your next exam, when it's on and how many days between exams you have.

    That looks pretty cool. If it could be made properly secure I think it'd be a much better alternative to the current set up... everything in one place, no multiple clicks and two websites.

    Just wondering anyone who has done 1st year English in the past, how difficult are they to pass (EN153: Fiction) and (EN154: Drama). I haven't gotten my EN153 Essay back, it's worth 50% but probably got 50-60% in it i'd imagine (or hope)

    Not looking forward to Evo Biology. Sucks even worse that you have calculus afterwards. :pac::pac:

    You'll be fine. I've ODEs on Monday, which is calculus on steroids.

    Ah well, there goes August. Integration again, most likely.

    There's always compensation.

    I'm thinking I might be relying on that for integration meself :(.

    I thought I was prepared. Nothing fancy. But equiped to tackle one or two of the problems with ease. Then I turned the paper over. It was like Detta knew all of my weaknesses and designed the paper around them :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 101 ✭✭peacock169


    Feck it. Taking a break. A few Stella, Pink Floyd live at Pompeii. Start again tomorrow.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 965 ✭✭✭Doctor Strange


    This time one week all my exams will be done. Sorta makes 6 in 6 days worth it.

    PS105 tomorrow.. I know i'll pass it, but the actual effort involved in having to re-read my notes on Ethics, theories, pseudoscience..

    Any person who has/is studying Psychology will realise what i'm talking about.. The lectures for this module were so, so interesting (because the lecturers were amazing) but the content itself... ugh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,989 ✭✭✭PictureFrame


    OK

    IF I pass EN153 tomorrow I will be able to compensate my failed module (by 3% cry) from last semester and never have to do English ever again, ever (assuming I passed EN154 Friday)

    PLZ GOD BE GOOD TO ME..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 965 ✭✭✭Doctor Strange


    Calculus is bad enough. Calculus with a migraine is next to impossible.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,009 ✭✭✭WhiskeyGoblin


    After tomorrow, I'm pretty much home free. Last 3 exams for me will be simple.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,086 ✭✭✭Fbjm


    Going well so far, no disasters yet! Got a week's break between now and my final two, and they're both half based on in class assignments which I did well on. Friday and Monday, then freedom... get in :D

    Hey, I did them last year. They're not too bad, honestly just know the novels etc. back to front would be my advice. Best of luck :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,469 ✭✭✭Kiwi_knock


    I had an exam today, never more than 10 people turned up to the lectures but there was over 30 at the exam. Final year as well. :pac:

    I know they won't read this, but the invigilator in the Iontas shouting through the microphone at people to be quiet as they leave the exam hall should realise that he is making more noise than anyone else.
