A Day In The Life Of A King's College CompSci #86 (ADITLOAKCCS)

As Salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh World!

9-11am Internet Systems lecture
These lectures seem to be getting shorter and shorter every week. I can’t remember a single lecture ever finishing half an hour early let alone 3 in a row. The content for this whole module can easily be covered by reading week but for some reason it was deemed that it should last the whole semester. Anyway, at least that makes it easier revising for the exam given how little content there is.

11am-12pm Internet Systems tutorial
There were only 2 questions on the tutorial sheet and the tutorial is supposed to last an hour. Need I say more? Either the lecturer is giving the false impression that this module’s content is very "crammable" or maybe this module shouldn’t even be a module, at least not by itself.

12-1pm Foundations of Computing 2 tutorial
This is where things escalated quickly indeed. Apparently, the topic being covered now; the Halting Problem, is the hardest one in this module. The tutor also gave some additional solace to us by revealing that not only does the course get significantly easier from here but that in the exam you choose which questions you want to do therefore eliminating any chance of encountering this horrible topic altogether.

Don’t get me wrong, FC2 is an interesting module. However, when things get really vague and abstract, you honestly don’t see the reason to learn it. Anyway, I have to get back to my coursework so that’s all for now.

Hope this helps!
