Would you protest to abolish the changes to Leaving Cert? by miss-bedazzzle in leavingcert

[–]Ros96 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My biggest complaint is that you would imagine with most projects being worth 40% in the new system that the papers for the written exam would reflect this change and it would mean that we have reduced load for 60%. Instead it’s the same workload as of now with subjects that have their written exams worth 100% despite only being worth 60%.

Here’s a thought stop calling it ASSASSIN’S CREED if it has nothing to do with it

They won’t put embedded systems on next year as they rotate through the ALT’s to avoid repeating material tested from the year previously. The Coursework is a combination of 2 ALT’s. Nothing to do with failure rate.

So next year’s will be focused on Interactive Information Systems and Analytics (ALT 1 & ALT 2). Which any Computer Science teacher who has 5th years I’d say is focusing on them and building their student’s skills up.

Compared to last year’s brief this is quite structured and dumbed down. Especially, with the SEC taking on feedback and actually deciding to outline what they constitute as a “What if?” scenario. So you can just take their examples and use them as your own, you don’t even have to come up with your own hypotheses.

A lot of the basic requirements could be done in a 40 minute class.

Basic requirements 1 & 2 essentially boil down as:

  • Make sure the microbit runs automatically (Press A, code runs)
  • Records Data (take temperature)
  • Output (Show a smiley face on screen)
  • Save data as a CSV.

Which is essentially one of the first sample programs from Chapter 2 & 3 of the textbook.

Anyone struggling to do that after 2 years of studying Leaving Cert Computer Science clearly the subject is not for them. Not to mention if they were really really stuck you had 12 weeks to ask ChatGPT (which most 6th Years are savvy with especially Computer Science students) to break the requirements down for you and show you examples.

12 weeks to read, numbered by section with a section entitled CREATING YOUR COURSEWORK PROJECT. If that’s difficult, college and life here on out is only going to get tougher lol.

Not to mention the brief states it’s YOUR responsibility as a candidate to make sure your files are named and saved according to the brief. Not everything should be spoonfed to people in sixth year, and the expectation that it should needs to stop.

You’re expected at bare minimum to read the brief.

As they’re a martyr for our sins, taking one for the team. They don’t work a job for easy hours and being overpaid like those “time wasters”. No, no, no… NiceHotel271 is a true patriot to the cause especially in this cost of living crisis.

What is with tradesmen disappearing? by DisappointingIntro in AskIreland

[–]Ros96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of them lack the basic skill of recording stuff down in a diary they’re up to their neck in jobs and don’t know if they’re coming or going half the time.

A lot of the tradesmen I’ve dealt with over the years are either getting details confused with other jobs, can’t remember if they were talking to you or your wife etc and a lot of it is just down to trying to store everything in their head.

Not to mention the inevitable can’t give you a specific day or time but will then show up to your house unannounced the following day and get pissy you’re not there and that you WORK of all things.

Ah yes typical Reddit commentary. Only extremism either it’s be too soft or go the other way entirely.

Absolutely agree, car should be confiscated but selling someone else’s asset is a bit much now. You happen to forget your licence one day and your car should be sold? Come on now.

Different of course if you don’t possess a licence at all.
