There is one of the canteen staff thats as tight as 2p. She always works at the till and nearly goes poking your food to see if you've got anything hidden there.

She's really mean. I remember this guy in front of me got a big portion from the chef and she wanted to charge double. She even went up with his plate and gave out to the chef. Come on woman .... Get a life. Your ownly a pawn over there. Stop over charging students ..... You not getting any bonus's for that!!!

a guy known as egg, he's bit of a legend.. people who were at a res party 2 or 3 years ago, in front of the canteen, might remember him as the guy who tore off his own underwear to win some random prize in a contest he wasnt even in.

A certain maths lecturer for sencond year engineering.

He is the Funniest F**ker i have ever met.
You learn cause if you don't know the answer he will ridicule you

He picks names from the roll and asks them a questions, One day this Guy was absent and he asked his friends where the guy was. They told them he was off buying a present for his girlfriend so jerry got his mobile number and rang him then and there in the class. He didn't answer but it would have been hilarious.

I was in that lecture too, what was even better was that I failed maths that year and had to have him all over again for another year. :rolleyes:

The next lecture was even better, because the guy was there and he remembered to ask if he was present. He spent about 10 minutes talking about his girlfriend, and proceeded to slag the **** out of the present the guy bought.

That lecturer hasn't a clue. he's anything but a legend! if he stopped making so many jokes he might have time to actually lecture. and he's a crap lecturer anyway. also keeping the class in until the hour is bad too. i failed maths cos of that idiot and his "jokes" :mad:

No, you failed Maths because when it comes to the test, he never tells you anything that "might" even come up, and then marks it pretty toughly.

The way to pass that test is nail the first half of the paper (when I did it we had two seperate lecturers for the two sections, dunno if its still the same). The first half is the easier anyway, less chance of choosing the wrong method when you're just asked to find the partial derivatives of a function.

just saw this thread now

i think Mags would have to be a DCU legend. she used to work in the SU offices beside the old pool room

stuffing the pool tables with paper was often the only way poor stundents could get a few games of pool in - seeing her coming at you, knowing that you're caught was one scary experience!

hes good if you know how to deal with him! he actually breaks down all the maths to its simplest form. hes better than the two lecturers we had before him anyway!

One bit of advice to 2nd year maths people, learn your Laplace and definately Z-Transforms. Knowing them well makes Signals in 3rd year a fair bit easier. If you know Fourier stuff well as well, you'll fly through signals.

Most peoples problem is that they dont, they're just happy to get past 2nd year Maths and think "thank god.....no more stand alone maths modules anymore".

steveland?

He's an awful lecturer but he does HUNDREDS of examples and at least shows you how to do the exam...

He screwed us over this year by COMPLETLY changing the exam, left off nearly all the Laplace Transforms he put on all the other exams since 2003... the exam was very similar to 2002 which was different to the others...

He lives beside where I work now so I get to see him all the time... Yay for me...
