Hmm, Manning chips are sooo nice!

So I have full marks for everything so far this semester, and have completed the only two assignments I've been handed 2.5 weeks and a month ahead of their due dates.

Hooray for not fucking around anymore.

whats the maths one about waffy?

 

[kokodamonkey]

for those that don't know what i look like for tomorrow:

 

[spence]

Just realised I actually have another week till my german test

 

[withoutaface]

whats the maths one about waffy?

It's basically about constructing sets with various operations on them, and rules for those operations (variants of these rules forming the difference between rings, fields, groups, etc), exploring the properties of these sets and eventually using those properties to prove that you can't write down a formula to solve any polynomial equation of order n>4.

Better than Metric Spaces and Complex Analysis by a long stretch, though I think I enjoyed the Measure Theory subject more.

Sounds fun.

In my class, I get to write about the role the internet plays in democratising the modern public sphere.

I'm doing info3402...the management thing. Pretty easy hogswash at the moment hey. Apparently most of the examinable material is done before the easter break. After that it's all accenture seminars or something.

i had to postpone info3220 for next year, tell us how that goes. I did comp3520 last year though. That was really badly organized (is bing bing still taking it?), the only interesting things were the assignments. The exam was pretty much memorising textbook stuff.

Yeah Bing Bing's a twit. The first assignment is a java client/server thing which can be (and has been) done in half an hour by copy pasting code from the book and isn't due til the end of April.

The Accenture lectures afaik cover examinable content as well (XP, among other things) but do so while adding industry anecdotes.

INFO3220 is solid, mostly because Michael Charleston's lecturing.

do you fail your course if you dont hand in an assignment?

i couldnt find anything in the handbook

I'm pretty sure you absent fail if its a compulsory assessment

Not usually, they figure that the lost marks will be enough disincentive. Some courses set a minimum of 40% of the available marks in the semester assessments and exams respectively (and 50% overall) as the minimum standard for passing though.

in reponse to one of my posts

i feel so blessed

complicated maths subjects sound like ma lot of fun - if only i could actually do em
