    Found out today I was successful at interview and have got a place on the research team and a bursary too! Back to UL as a research postgrad from next week :D

    Congrats. May I ask what your researching?

    Had to go hunting to find this,
    Almost 2 months back!
    Sad times...
    Good day though :)
    Due to a mix up with exam papers,
    We never started exam til 55 minutes after we were due to.
    Some people had to leave at 6 though (should've been 4-6 exam) so she said we only had to answer 50, she said we may as well answer 100 as she'll be taking best 50 out of them...
    100 MCQ's, majority a, b or c.
    Almost a guaranteed A1 :)

    always appears bad you have to go so far back for the Woo Hoo tread and the bitching one is always at the top. But results are out for the exams and i have a 2:1 for for the taught part of my M.A


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60 ✭✭scruffystack


    Buzzing with results, A2 in FYP a great boost!
    Whats the story with graduation? Dates? Tickets? Ball? And all that..

    I'm going to post this here, even though I'm not 100% thrilled.

    I got an A2 in my module! Took me two years, but I've finally passed 2nd year! :D:D:D:D:D


    Only disappointing thing is that my QCA only went up from 3.11 to 3.16, but I've got two years to try and scrape it up to 3.31 or higher to try and get the 1st class honours. :)

    Years 3 and 4 have double weighting so you should be fine. I went from 2.48 to 3.61 in 3rd year CompSys. It was a lot of work though (6 A1, 2 A2 and 2 B1) but very doable and you've learned the hard way, like myself, it's easier to put the work in at the time!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,300 ✭✭✭freyners


    1.1 degree, roll on the masters next year:D

    Indeed. Lesson most definitely learned! :)

    And I got a letter the other day saying that I don't have to do the Data Structures module next semester, I get to do Data Mining instead. Given that I failed DS but couldn't repeat it this year due to course changes, I'm = :D

    Is that double weighting in every course?

    I don't know. From what I've seen 4th year, at least, has double weighting in most courses. I know CompSys (and I assume Computer Games also) have double weighting in both 3rd and 4th year.

    What do you mean by double weighting?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 308 ✭✭PunkFreud


    What do you mean by double weighting?
    Double weighting means that your grades count double when it comes to determining you final QCA, and thus your graduating degree (1.1, 2.1, etc.). Normally 2nd year counts for 25% of your degree, 3rd year 25% (bearing in mind that there is only 1 semester, due to co-op), and 4th year 50%.

    I'm pretty sure for the teaching courses (like science ed, metalwork, etc) that they only count 3rd and 4th year, with an equal weighting to each year.

    Didn't know that there was hot showers in the Jim Kemmy Business School?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,555 ✭✭✭Ave Sodalis


    Had to go back six pages to find this! We are a miserable lot :P

    Fairly sure I passed this repeat though :D and if it wasn't capped, I'd say I did quite well. We'll see friday!

    Repeats passed, happy days :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,009 ✭✭✭✭wnolan1992


    I R back in Limerick! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 408 ✭✭certifiedcrepe


    I have to repeat 3 modules :)
    The reason I'm happy about this is because I was so worried I'd have to repeat the whole year! It'll be money taken away from the car fund but I am delighted I can stay in UL! :)
