Nah it was like that in my years, I don't think the percentage is right but you where given your best possible grade. If counting Christmas and Easter examinations helped you grade, they where counter. Otherwise it all based on the end of year.

devinejay · 05-03-2009 09:40PM

Yeah for us it's 100% end of year or 60% end of year, 20% mid year exams and 20% assignments.

+1 for the 'doing all of the AutoCAD after Maths' list.

Just thought I'd ask, how are any other JFs doing with the autocad? I've yet to start mine and I should be devoting time to the maths test until tuesday, so it'll be a bit of a rush in the end.

I've done it. Having a bit of a problem with making the hatch for the insulation in thw walls, can't find the one she used. probably get it eventually. Oh and after drawing my entire drawing i realised that i hadn't done it in A4 limits, so scaled it down but now my work view, (ie the printout thing) has disappeared.
ugh

Did you put in a door to the kitchen??

Jonathan · 06-03-2009 07:33PM

Tell your year to keep it down when autocadding in those ict huts..

One muppet had music blaring on his laptop for all his buddys to listen to..

Everything or just after Christmas? :rolleyes:

When we had to do the house I completely faked it.We'ed been given a print out of what the house should look like, so I scanned it in, re traced the lines, added the features which where requested and handed it up. This meant that the relative proportions of all the objects where the same. Printed it out and handed it up. Best reproduction in the class.

When someone gives you something retarded to do, find a way to work around it.

devinejay · 07-03-2009 01:48PM

Unfortunately we have to e-mail them the actual file this time, but I'm sure there is other ways around that.

Boston · 07-03-2009 01:55PM

So did I. I had an actual autocad drawing without the hassle of ensuring the dimensions of every object where consistent.

Funny story.

Pavia sent around the assignment via email and asked people to submit it to the email address above.

A guy in our class sent his to g0701list.....

Peleus · 08-03-2009 09:51PM

ha, what a fool.

TheAmateur · 09-03-2009 07:51PM

Eh, where/when is this exam thing tomorrow? I've been waiting on an email all day in the naive hope that someone would tell us. Checked the engineering undergrad page too, but I can't get in to "examination timetables" cause I'm not on the local network...

Brian · 09-03-2009 07:56PM

I'm not going to do very well in this. Did about .. an hour's study today.

Thanks man, deja vu from me asking the exact same question about the first exam and you answering with one of those things:D... I'm guessing that's the "examination timetables" link I couldn't follow? You on the local network in halls or something?

devinejay · 09-03-2009 08:34PM

+1 Baza, + a very dejected, unprepared 1

Cravo · 09-03-2009 08:57PM

I wasnt in last weeks lectures. Did he give any clues to what might appear on the exam pecifically?

google returned only 17,400 results but did return something. uuuhhhh my head hurts. I should stop typing :pac:

I got it from http://www.tcd.ie/Examinations/Timetables/
You need to use your college login, not sure if it's location specific.. (I am in Halls, yes)

devinejay- I'm assuming you did some study the last two days though. I didn't.

devinejay · 09-03-2009 10:01PM

I really haven't done much at all. I had intended on doing the huge backlog of Wileyplus as study, but I left it too late and the backlog was too great so I resorted to browsing the book from time to time.:o

I have however been in the library a lot this last week which is hopefully a sign of things to come for next term, if I spend enough time there I must eventually get around to doing maths :P

Brian · 09-03-2009 10:24PM

I started doing a few questions on Wiley, and was being very productive. I was then informed that the server hosting my session was in the process of being restarted, and would I kindly restart my browser and renavigate to their website. At this point, I though "Well, fuck you Wiley", and gave up.

godtabh · 10-03-2009 09:36AM

Less then an hour to go!

Jonathan · 10-03-2009 10:31AM

I wonder do they realise that this test determines who does honours and pass maths next year?
