Choosing my semester(s)

March 8, 2006 on 4:40 pm | In Life, School |

Argh! I was typing quite a nice post but then I accidentally pressed CTRL+W and lost it all :(

Anyways: Today I received information about the various semesters I get to choose from. Managed to pick a few which I like (of the 14 available semesters!), of which I’ll probably have to choose three:

  • Develop an OO application
  • Game creation (in my case, programming the 3D engine and the AI)
  • Network programming (on a relatively low level)
  • Information System Development

So now I’m not sure which semester to drop, because both Network Programming and Information System Development seemed very interesting, also because the speaker said that both subjects were rather important in the business world. And that means a higher chance for me to make some cash :)

Clearly I’m going for the Software Engineer ‘function’ :) Especially the first and second semester seem quite cool, because they were defined as ‘the hardcore programming’ - which I hope to be doing later - and because both semesters are given by cool teachers :)

  1. I assume your use of the word “semester” is a bit different to ours, here in St Andrews we have two semesters (terms, if you like) per year, during which we pick from a variety of modules.

    Ah well, hope you enjoy them, anyway. :)

  2. Nope, it means just about the exact same thing: a half year period.
    But we pick a specific specialization to focus on during such a semester.

  3. Ah. Well, we basically do the same thing, we pick modules to study during the semester, although yours sounds like a single module rather than multiple modules. In 1st year, 3 20-credit modules per semester usually. In 2nd year, 2 30-credit modules, I think.
