Exam CIS109

Introduction to Java and Object Oriented Programming

Java was the easiest of the two exams, and certainly the quickest (I was in and out in 1 hour!) Still, I made sure I spent ten minutes at the beginning choosing the best four out of six questions to write about, and then I wrote it nice and slowly, checking for errors as I went along and then I read back through again checking for more errors.

I am aiming for full marks, but you always know there is a chance to lose marks everywhere, so I am probably not going to get full marks. We shall see though!

Anyway, it's the summer holidays!! So no more exams and all fun!! Yipeee!

Exam CIS102

Mathematics for Computing

The exam yesterday was maths (yuk!). Overall, this was the exam I revised the least for on the two day's running up to the exam, due to the fact that I was mostly occupied doing other stuff on the weekend before the exam.

The exam went very well (I have definately passed) and although I didn't manage to complete all of the last question, I attempted every other question on the paper and I think I managed to get nearly all of them correct.

I'm just waiting to see how many minor and stupid mistakes I've made that'll bring down my results... lol

Exam CIS108

Information Systems: Foundations of E-Business

Yo, forgot to mention here about my E-Business Exam that happened two days ago (Friday). Oops.

Well, usual time usual place, except that I mucked up the start by leaving my Student Card in the cloakroom. So I arrived late after waiting around outside for the exam to start, because of having to retrieve it.

None-the-less, the exam went OK. There were some parts of the questions I didn't quite get right and I think I chose a harder question over an easier one (you can choose 4 out of 6 available questions), but overall I think I'm going to pass it.

Just glad that ones over...

Exam CIS110

Introduction to Computing and the Internet

The exam was comprised of two parts. Part A was to do with Computing (how memory works, what the CPU does, etc). Part B was to do with the Internet (how IP addresses work, how webpages are made, etc).

Overall the exam went extremely well. There were a couple of parts that I didn't quite get, although they didn't take up too many marks (4 or 5) so overall I'm looking to get quite high in the results.

Something amusing I found on Flickr, pointed out by my Dad...

If you are ever in New York and want to travel back to London, don't ask Google Maps. Check out step 24. lol...

Exams

Over two weeks since my last blog post, and a lot has happened. For one thing, I'm back at Uni, and the next two weeks will be filled up with exams.

I have exams on the 8th May, 11th May, 14th May and the 17th May (one each day listed) so it's nicely spread out with days in between for intense revision.

The past two weeks have been filled with revision, as well as playing my new game Need for Speed: Underground 2, during my breaks (wicked game that).

After my exams, I have a lot planned also. For starters, Zarrain wants me to go out somewhere with him to celebrate, then I have my younger brother Byron's birthday on the weekend (19th May), and a wonderful opportunity to tidy my room free from family and uni obligations the following week.

Longer term, I will go back to Java Programming, releasing Version 1.1 of my Jarada's Time Keepers (see Programs area after following that link) that has some unannounced added features to the features listed there, as well as continuing my work on my main Java Game, and other Java program. I might also find a job to work at over my four month summer hols...

Anyway, I need to get back to revising, so just a short update there. I will keep you all posted as to how my exams go!
