RPL for Languages

When I spoke about RPL I said that student who just came from the leaving cert probably didn't have any experience that they could use for recognition for prior learning. However students who speak a language other than English many be able to apply for PRL for a module in that language.

You can look for language modules in the modules database at modules.cit.ie

There are modules for Irish, French, German, & Spanish.

New Year New Beginning

Welcome welcome welcome

This semester I am teaching CMOD6001 Creativity, Innovation, and Teamwork to all Computing first years. That's going to be interesting. It'll certainly be efficient, because I can invest a bit more knowing that any preparation work I do will be used three times.

I'm also teaching SOFT7001 Advanced Web Development, which is basically CSS. That's good because I've putting off becoming a CSS guru for a while. Now I have no choice but to master the tricky bits.

I am also minding WEBD1 students again this year. But there are a few more than last year. So that will be a bit more work.

All in all it's shaping up to be an interesting semester. And interesting in a good way.

COMP6021 Final Exam Repeat August 2011

A copy of the repeat exam and marking scheme is now available. I have also included some comments and statistical information.


The next repeat will be in May/June 2012 unless the module is offered this semester. To date there are no plans to offer this module in semester.
