So it is the start of week 5. I feel like I am really settling into uni life and I finally feel like I made a really great decision when I applied for Forensic Computing. Like pretty much everyone I have spoken to so far I feel like I am struggling a bit in one major area.
..... You guessed it, systems programming. Judging by the mumber of people fervently working on their log books this afternoon and listening to some of the comments being made it struck me that i'm not all that far behind on it. So why do I feel as though I am at the bottom of a very long very steep mountain?
My solution to this problem? I set up a meeting with my tutor to go over what I have so far. I hope that it goes one of two ways.
He either says "no thats not what I am looking for", or "yes you are on the right track, but..."
I don't want a pat on the back for job well done I really want to know where I am going wrong, so I can do better.

Good idea booking appointment, I mite do the same next week , like I said in my blog think this will be the hardest module this year. I'm sure you will do fine though dom, keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteAs Anthony said that's a really good idea. He is going to be really sick of us by then end of this term I can feel it - But saying that I guess if its the only way we feel we can get a greater understanding of what's going on then its the right thing to do.
ReplyDeleteI just hope he has enough spare time to see all of us. Mind you, I have the added bonus of living right by the Perry Barr Campus so if need be I can go see him there.
I just felt the need to comment.
ReplyDeleteI know I comment enough in person but I read this, understand very little of it, thanks to my complete inability to work a computer, but read it nonetheless.
Glad you finally got your tutorial and "yay" that it went well for you. (See the dropping of blatant inside knowledge there?)
P.S.
ReplyDeleteI know you'll do great on your course because you are geeky to a scary level, you take to this sort of thing like a duck to water and you put the effort in.
