Ad Lib Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 December exam results back. A4 for Jurisprudence and B2 for Criminal Law and Evidence. Considering the latter was a bloody awful paper I'm happy with that. Also got an A4 for our group report for my Honours course which will prove handy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo Stu Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I imagine you'll be invited along for an interview within the next couple of months. Best of luck bud! I received a conditional offer to study Management (third year point of entry) at Caley. Fairly certain I'll get the grades required in my HND, so I'm pretty happy as I never expected to go to university. Cheers man, best of luck to you. Sure you'll do just fine 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKee Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Could be wrong here but I think it's just an opportunity to learn a bit more about the Uni and your course itself, which was pretty useful IMO. They also take you a tour of the campus and let you see inside the halls and are helpful when answering any questions you have. Also on a side note - first year computer science is a piece of piss. What's the programming like? I always found the written side of Computing and Info Systems to be extremely easy, but I was poor when it came to programming. Although that was when using Basic and Prolog, and knowledge of those 2 is redundant at uni. Or so I've been told. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#Gary Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 You know what pisses me off? You've had 3 previous years to piss about giving us your pathetic group work stuff .. when I'm in my Hons year I do not want to be relying on the work of someone else when it really matters! This pisses me off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde 1877 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Ive got an interview for Sports Journalism soon. Should i take some English essays on top of my blog articles? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supras Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) Ive got an interview for Sports Journalism soon. Should i take some English essays on top of my blog articles? Yeah, probably. Given the quality of sports journalism I really don't think you can fail. It's coming to the time where I have to pick dissertation topics and I'm trying to choose something that is at least semi interesting. I might look at stress and work something but I'm not even doing HRM at the moment. Any decent ideas for business management? Something football manager related would be welcome.

Coooombe Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 What's the programming like? I always found the written side of Computing and Info Systems to be extremely easy, but I was poor when it came to programming. Although that was when using Basic and Prolog, and knowledge of those 2 is redundant at uni. Or so I've been told. I only done the first Computing module as my degree is marketing, but the programming part was easy. It was split into 4 sections worth 25% each; a programming test, a group wiki, a series of 'checkpoints' in which you gain by attending 2 practicals a week, and the final exam. The programming is on an application called Alice and is very well explained in the course and is easy to understand unless you are completely computer illiterate (which I assume you're not). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Got an interview next Wednesday at Strathclyde for Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Anyone know what I should expect? I had that interview almost 10 years ago. Couldn't tell you anything about it though, sorry! A vague hazy memory from the back of mind sees some guy going through my personal statement with me, but that could be bullshit. I'd imagine the term 'interview' would be a bit strong though. I certainly don't ever remember going down to Glasgow in a suit and tie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKee Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Got my first response, an unconditional from Robert Gordon for Computer Science. They've asked my to send them my educational certificates, I'm guessing this is par for the course for everyone, or at least for everyone applying independently. Are they only interested in the summary of attainment first page, or do they want to see every piece of paper I've been sent by SQA? I think i've lost all the pages about core skills n' shit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they'll give a f**k about the core skills part. As long as you show them the results you got subject wise you should be fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde 1877 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Got 1 of the 20 available places for sports journalism at UWS not bad considering 150 were interviewed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 So, who has seen all the uni specific memes invading facebook. Some are quite funny, to be fair. I made one that has got over 100 likes so far. I'm considering putting the achievement on my CV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) I knocked one up that's sitting on 300+ likes at the moment and it didn't even take any imagination. Edinburgh's ones are the best I've seen so far. Edited February 7, 2012 by NotThePars 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supras Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Who started it? I naively assumed it was us but Glasgow Uni people suck so I doubt it. Some are incredibly shit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure they don't mean send them your certificates if you actually go on to accept their offer? Once I'd got an offer from Edinburgh, they said I'd only have to send them after you confirm their offer. Didn't have to do this with Dundee until I actually matriculated. As for the core skills thing, they count for f**k all so I wouldn't bother. Edited February 7, 2012 by Just a bairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 The worst part of the "uni memes" is that some people don't quite grasp the concept of the "Y U NO?!" meme. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
