jmothecat Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 And with that I am finished. Seven years of university education and I've finally made my final submission and am highly qualified in nothing useful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest honestrae95 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Got my first exam tomorrow of Forensic Medicine, which is my easiest subject. A nice start before the two b*****ds of Contract Law and Constitutional Law. Lovely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddie06smfc Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Only the 7 exams left for me. 2 of which are on Wednesday. I have an interview for a job down South after my exams and if I don't get that then I will probably go back for a masters in some sort of Business related postgrad. Not at Glasgow though, I'm looking forward to leaving there in just over a weeks time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR96 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I'm pulling a disgusting amount of all-nighters in the Library to get coursework in on time considering I'm only in 1st year. I don't think I'm cut out for this Uni carry on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man of Aran Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Looking for a wee bit of advice from anyone who has done/ is doing a Masters in Electronic & Electrical Engineering at either Glasgow or Strathclyde. My daughter has unconditionals for both of them, but is not really sure which one would suit her best. She is currently veering towards Strathclyde after an invite to spend a day there. Any information that might help her make a decision would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. If she still hasn't made her mind up..... I done Electronic Engineering with Music at Glasgow, although I ended up not doing the Master's year and graduating with a Bachelors. Would thoroughly recommend. First three years is generally a balanced mix of various areas of electronics, circuit design, power, software, physics etc. so you get a flavour of everything. Year 4 you choose specific courses with a mind of taking that into your dissertation/ further education, I done acoustics for example. The final Masters year involves 6 months (I think) working in industry and pretty much everyone I know secured a full time job from that. Glasgow do know their stuff on microchips if she plans to go down the research/PhD route, but up until that point it is, generally speaking, the same education you will get at any top uni. I'd recommend just going to as many open days as possible and seeing what place she likes the feel of the best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1875 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Currently have a conditional for RGU in Aberdeen to study Multimedia Development for 2 years Providing I get no less than a B on my 2nd year Interactive Media graded unit. Which is to design & build a website for Netball Scotland. Bit of a challenge considering they have given us absolutely nothing in regards to material or information about what they want the site to look like or the content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widge Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Well my final ever exam was a disaster from start to finish. The paper was rock solid, the questions didn't make sense in parts and to top it off my calculator ran out of battery halfway through the one set of calcs in it, so wasted a lot of time doing then in my head. I'm going to get a 2:1 at the end of the day, all I need is 50% in both this exam and my dissertation. Which I should achieve, at least I hope so. Still never got over the fact, my group module screwed me over for a first. It's amazing doing work knowing you've got no chance and just coasting it!! Still haven't fully decided if I go into full time employment and work towards my APC's or do a post-grade in something else. No point in a masters, anyone got any suggestions for a good course to do in a year. I haven't really thought about it, but it doesn't have to be linked in a my way, since my course is practical and has a designated job at the end? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-r-cfc Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 First exam today for me. Politics 2b. One of those ones I wont be certain of how ready I am til I'm actually writing. Got a B last semester and sitting on a B3/C1 this semester so looking fairly solid to get the D I need to make it into honours next year! History on Monday is my mire important one - need a C overall for honours and again probably sitting on a B3/C1 Public policy 1b a week after and that's my joke subject Not been to a lecture sincevthe.first week but a.b1 in the essay means I'll have a week to get myself to D standard! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Found some plagiarism today. Raging. Utterly raging. Can someone please put that Jim Jeffries 'Seething' gif up for me to show how utterly raging I am at this fuckwit who thinks he can take a dissertation from 2011, re-write it line by line and not get caught. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) First of my final three uni exams today. Went reasonably well, I think; was on dynamical systems, which is probably my easiest module. Quite a few folk left after about half an hour, so they presumably found it a piece of piss.To round it off nicely, an exquisite Russian girl in a white t-shirt was being soaked with water as I left the exam. Pleasing. Edited May 14, 2014 by FifeSons 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR96 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Finished my 2nd and final exam for the semester today. Utterly horrifying. Absolute guaranteed fail, hope my coursework can pull me up to a pass but I doubt that. Exam yesterday was a piece of piss so not too concerned about that in all honesty. Can't believe that's me finished my 1st year at Uni . I'm loving the lifestyle and met a few brilliant folk, but I haven't managed to juggle it with actually doing the work, if I've gotten away with it this year I'll seriously need to get the finger out next semester. I was actually embarrassed this morning in that exam. Felt utterly disgusting staying up all night trying to cram a full module in a few hours then knowing absolutely f**k all when it mattered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweeperDee Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 One more exam and that's me finished 2nd year. Passed first year with distinction and on route to pass 2nd year with distinction with a current grade haul of 9 A's and 3 B's. Let's hope I can do the business in 3rd and 4th year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Exam on Monday was a bit of a disaster, think I did two methods the wrong way around. The one I just sat should've went a lot better, but the two topics that I knew very well didn't come up and I was kinda banking on at least one of them coming up. Hopefully should get a pass in that, even more so that my coursework mark was good so I was already sitting on like 15% for the class. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Toboggan Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Have a conditional from Abertay to do Web design and communication. The condition is that I pass the college course I'm currently doing. If that doesn't happen then I have a unconditional for Caledonian but I'm not expecting to go there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
