Exams approaching

Next week I will be starting my final exams of this year in college and they are also my last exams in this degree!

That's not to say that I am finished with college, definitely not. I intend on continuing on into fourth year to do an add on degree in IT Management.

In total I have four exams to do, two of these exams are next week and two the following week. The exams are fairly spaced out, which is good because it gives me time to prepare for the next one instead of being rushed. Each exam is two hours long, and the majority of my exams begin early in the morning also which is great, I like to get them out of the way as quick as possible :).

This week is my week off from college to prepare for the exams, this week is a study week.

So within two weeks I will be finished with college and I get to enjoy my summer :D .

New Multi-Million Euro IT Department

Today I got my first look at the new multi-million Euro department that has been built on the DKIT campus. My first impressions of the building is that it is massive, the map you can get when you first go in will definitely be needed to find your classes!

Here are a few pics of what the place looks like at the moment.

As you can see it is looking well, there is no hardware as of yet, but that will all be getting installed during the coming summer and will be ready for the start of the next academic year, September 2010.

This is an amazing transformation for this building, it used to be an old cigarette factory (Carrolls), but DKIT bought it a few years ago.

This new department definitely puts our current IT department to shame! This building will not only be home for the computing department, but also the multimedia and music departments will also be in this building too!

I am definitely looking forward to seeing this place come September when I return for my final year!

You can see more pictures of Carrolls in my photo album.

Another one bites the dust

Today I had my second Christmas exam. Today’s exam was in Web Applications Development, and I have to say I found it really easy. Now I do not usually like to say that because I always think once I become too confident in an exam I will probably fail it. But that is just not the case here, since this exam is 50% CA ( Continuous Assessment) and 50% exam, I have already got 35% out of the 50% CA so I only really need 5% out of today’s exam to pass the subject since a 40% grade is a pass :D .

So I have no doubt that I have sailed through this exam, and after leaving the 2 hour exam after just one hour, I had actually written a lot and couldn’t believe how much time I had left! I was not alone in leaving the exam after the hour was up, most of my classmates left too!

In our exams we have to stay for the first hour then we can leave, but I had just finished after the first hour. So that is two of my exams done so far, now there is only two left then I can enjoy my break from college :D . Tomorrow I have organised that I am off work as I really need the full day to prepare for Fridays exam.

The exam on Friday is going to be the most difficult and I expect to be sitting there right up to the last second of the exam. The next exam is in Broadband Technologies.
