Anyone know what we have to do with that module registration stuff?

I don't think we have to worry about that because we have set subjects.

Comp architecture tomorrow doesn't seem hard but theres a lot of stuff to learn...

Firstly a question: Where are we for these exams?

Secondly, how is everyone set? Comp arch doesn't seem too hard, same with databases. I just hope problem solving is postponed for a decent length of time!

I think it said in the letter that we go to the foyer to see where the exams are.

I think I'll be alright for these exams. Hopefully anyways. Comp arch isn't hard, just means a lot of learning. Haskell will be ok for me. Databases I'll need to study for.

We're in the gym tomorrow in case you didn't know.

Cheeky monkey · 12-01-2010 01:25PM

So......... Hows about that comp architecture?

Wasn't too bad. I didn't expect it to be so similar to last years paper so I figured that the example paper he gave us would be what it was modelled on. Unfortunately not entirely. But I think I managed to pull through it pretty well.

Question 4.

Briefly explain six internal interface standards.

Briefly explain six external interface standards.

did this mean explain internal devices like RAM and external like USBs?

falipo · 12-01-2010 08:07PM

Was pretty happy with it. Very similar to the pass paper that was up so cant really ask for much more.

And problem solvings now on the 25th Hoorah!

Yeah I heard about that. To be honest I would rather it was on this Monday rather than next because I was looking forward to a nice long break after finishing the exams.

But I suppose 5 days off after the haskell exam won't be too bad.

D.Q · 13-01-2010 02:13PM

databases should be ok tomorrow. Although, its a bit strange, i have 2008/09 and 2007/08 papers, and the past paper she put up, which says 2008, isn't either of them.

Joebits · 13-01-2010 05:46PM

The Exam is at 4 OR 4:30 tommorrow?

And it ends when?

Tis not a very well used langauge, but it does give you some
grounding in functional programming. I would have like to do
some in my course in year one:p

Beats learning JSP:cool:

Joebits · 27-01-2010 04:34PM

So. who else failed problem solving?

D.Q · 28-01-2010 09:47PM

i think I did anyway. Anyone know where to get our Semester 2 Timetable...

also...has anyone heard anything about what is happening with those who failed communications? i know it was addressed at the meeting, but I havent heard anything since.

I fully endorse this comment

goreyguy · 24-08-2010 03:54AM

this should be interesting, hopefully freshers doesn't distract me too much.

also i presume you guys will have a laptop for the course?

by the way my names stephen

Cheeky monkey · 24-08-2010 10:50AM

You can get away with not having one. In some classes your better off without one I know on more then one occassion I've gotten really bored during a class and put in my headphones and watched a movie

Joebits · 24-08-2010 12:16PM

340 points now. Hate that...;)

Peadar06 · 24-08-2010 12:33PM

I remember when it was 230 points:p

Yup! Good times! Thats when I got in.

Its only going to climb from now on. Computers are the future. I see it being 400+ Next year.

Joebits · 24-08-2010 12:45PM

Anyone doing computer science this year, with a laptop, you're gonna need this!

goreyguy · 24-08-2010 03:39PM

what's the hardest module in 1st year?

orangeparrot · 24-08-2010 05:13PM

I'm going away on friday 17th sep and I'll be gone for a week. Think I'll miss anything that important?

Cheeky monkey · 24-08-2010 05:59PM

The hardest subject is probably problem solving because if you phase out for a few seconds your lost.

You might miss orientation where you register and get our student ID but I could be wrong your going to have to wait till you get your pack from DIT
