angry_fox

Hows everyone getting on cramming for the exams??
Anyone else wish they done some work over the year, instead of leaving it to the last minute, again?

Rollo Tamasi

MacGyver

Rollo Tamasi

i like your style MacGyver!! i have the early exam at 9.00 tomorrow so its all go until midnight and then a early moring, lets say 6.AM!!! Bring it On!!!

I luv Exams

Legend_Killer

exams are not fun at all......... ive never tried to force so much into my head in one day before and now i know why..... it doesnt work!

angry_fox

One exam out of the way. Tanx to Rollo and Will to da T for there help with Drucker, Porter and all them other bitches.
Must forget everything i learnt over the past two days and learn networks.

Rollo Tamasi

no problem my little fox, opps, i mean angry fox. Ah yes networks! the subject i hate to be tought and hate even futher my distinct lack of networking knowledge!

Should be grand thou, it'll be like Christmas & Easter Exams mashed together like dodgy spuds! Yummie Yum Yum

angry_fox

Mmmmm spuds, mash spuds.

Dont even have the Christmas or Easter exams. You have them by any chance?

MacGyver

let me guess 3rd year multimedia with colm dunphy (happiest man on earth NOT)

angry_fox

Yes, third year multimedia possibly the biggest let down since whole Star Wars: The Phantom Menace thing.

Colm aint to bad. He puts a lot of effort in and tries his best to help. But some assignments he has given us over the years brought to the edge of my sanity.

Anyway back to exams, arent they some waste of time? We should be judged on what we can create and what tools we use for the job. Not by learning off pages of s**te that we will never use again.

Rollo Tamasi

didn't you say you left the glamour of WIT to make a proper go of fullfilling your desires to appear on the new series of Ally McBeal???

Or am i wrong?

LanceStorm

I have a fantastic study regime involving cramming all night before each exam while drowning in red bull and watching rocky movies to keep my sanity!!

worked so far!!

MR LIF

I think im screwed. I failed miserably yesterday and I also failed the ca. Am I doomed? I could probably pass the repeat exam if I did some study over the summer but what about the ca? I doubt I could bring the score up to balance it

bp_me

2 down....3 to go

roll on monday so I can fail maths (thats the natural passimist in me...I'l probably pass lol)

they usually give out a small assignment for ya to do over the summer which will be easy and you can get whoever is best in yer class o do it for money or whatever!

angry_fox

The assignment will be handy enough to do.
So thats how Legend Killer got to third year. Paying people to do his work.....
Is Dunphy going to be asking us much on Gestalt Theory?

Legend_Killer

No i was actually the one who was paid!!!!

yeah gestalt is a cert!!!

angry_fox

Just had the worst exam. Software Engineering. F**kin hate configuration management

daveffrench

yay exams, well thats 4 down and 2 to go. Just imaging and programming left. And well first year imaging and programming don't really require much thinking

angry_fox

Wait tell you do java in second year. It will be like learning new programming language.

bp_me

3 down...2 to go......I love subjects that are all continous assessment...w00t

LanceStorm

For the IT students, how come we learned Java in 2nd yr, then when we got to 3rd yr it comepletely changed, none of what we learned for the whole yr was allowed, so what was the point!!

angry_fox

Did ye start using JBuilder in third year, cause thats what happend to us in second year.

bp_me

Woohooo...just finished a German exam in 55 minutes.....say I got some odd looks walking out of the exam hall dead on the hour, with a smile on my face.....lol....only 1 exam left now on friday...thank fcuk they are nearly over.

swiss

Almost finished. This has been one tough year.

Incidentally, if I actually pass everything, I will owe it all to caffeine. That one molecule can acheive so much *sniffles*.

bribren2001

still tryin to learn new stuff and also go back the other 1000 pages(not an exageration unfortunately)

bp_me

Forget about the new stuff......learn the stuff you should know......assuming thats enough to pass you.

angry_fox

Have one exam left. Database, and im trying to to Normalization. Load of ****e

LanceStorm

haha 1NF/2NF/3NF!!!!!

angry_fox

Its not as bad as de-normalization, its all a load of crap to me anyway. Least the SQL is handy enough.

angry_fox

yes without a mic, therefore the people down the back couldnt hear it :rolleyes:

LanceStorm

there's such thing as de-normalization?!?!?!?!?!?

Denormalisation is the process of transforming normalised relations into un-normalised physical record specifications. This process can generate errors and inconsistencies and can force reprogramming of systems if business rules are changed.

Some load of tom cats p*ss

bp_me

w00t................last exam in less than 2 hours!!!!!

glad to be finished, but might be doing this one again in August .......

Wow! You can quote directly from notes! Are you a Scientist?

angry_fox

Just on the weekends.

Rollo Tamasi

Ohh really! Are you working on any projects at the moment? Any genetic research? I tried to fuse a mars bar with a ham sandwich before, with disastrous consequences I might add.

What methodolgy did you use.....a microwave would have fused them quiet well....of course I wouldn't recommed eating the result

Rollo Tamasi

Firstly I boiled a some water in a pot, then placed the mars bar over the rising steam to gently smoothen the outer chocolate region, I have used a microwave before, but I use my microwave for mixing cocaine with glucose, so that comes first to any culinary exploits!

Anyway I then toast the ham sandwich, and using a bread knife I gently rub on some of the mars bar chocolate! It's a work in progress at the moment!
I can send you out a sample if you would like?

bp_me

I dont think a sample would survive the post somehow....where abouts in waterford are you staying....rofl....just so I know where to avoid.

Rollo Tamasi

do you know the bus shelter on the mall?

There.

bp_me

I'll avoid that one so.....lol.

Ur just a newbie. Ive discovered the secret to the merging off mars bar dna and ham sandwich dna. The results were shunned by the scientific community, i was laughed at, but i shall have my revenge, you shall all feel the force of the angry fox "evil genius laugh"

angry_fox

Anyway, back on topic. Everyone finished their exams? Howd everyone get on?
