Has anybody recieved their updated timetables yet, I handed in the option form on friday and was told it would be done over the weekend. I have checked my online timetable but it hasn't been updated so i have no idea on new class times and places. Is anybody else having the same problem with this?

Option Form

The option form is on the website here:

You need to complete it and take it to the student advice centre in N-Block.

Dariusz Harpula - just briefly

Hello,

A few words about me and my interests:

I come from southern Poland. To the UK I arrived as soon as Poland became a member of EU that was almost 2 years ago. For approx. 2 years I was preoccupied with English language studying at City of Bristol College. Along with my gradually (and slowly) improving English I worked as a network administrator. Not too long ago I've decided to go for a degree in Internet area, which I found particularly interesting nowadays.

As far as my education is concerned, I have graduated in Poland after 3 long years of intensive studying. As a result, I achieved BSc degree with specialization in CAD/CAM.

My three major interests and passions are Computer Science, Maths and Graphics, and I believe that there is a creative fusion between all these disciplines. Apart from that I am really into Philosophy, Sociology of culture, Religious studies, Astronomy and of course billiards and volleyball.


Kindest regards
Darius

Introducing

Hello,

My name is Alexandre Capecci, I'm 20 years old and I'm a french student.
I came from Grenoble, France with Malik, where we have studied Computer Sciences for two years and got a diploma called DUT (University Technological Diploma)

This year, we've decided to improve our english and try a new experience so we came to Bristol for a Internet Applications year, and I hope that this will be a good experience.

My hobbies are Scubadiving, listening music, skiing and mountain hiking

Yours,

Alexandre Capecci

Denis Uskov - Brief Profile

I am Russian student who has left his home 3 years ago. I spent  2 years in Dublin (Ireland) doing HND in Computing at Portobello College,now struggling to obtain degree at UWE,Bristol.
I have mostly high level marks in diploma (merits and distinctions only), which doesn't mean I'm a nerd :-)) 

I was born in Omsk,Russia. This is west part of Siberia where the climate is inclement, +30C in summer and -30C during winter times are average temperatures. So I can easily stand cold
and winds, hate fogs and rain though...

I have been graduated from Omsk State Academy of Ministry of Internal Affairs in 2004 (degree in Law). Then I suddenly decided to study abroad and obtain another degree in Computer Science or related discipline,which I believe Internet Applications
would be.

My hobbies are Icehockey due to climate conditions, Soccer due to the fact Chelsea belongs to Abramovich and IT due to my education programme.

Kind regards
Denis Uskov

P.S.  Direct enry to final year is a good thing and a bit scary at the same time.

Option 1

Option 1 provides a choice between between a dissertation module and the programming module. The choice really depends on your interests - do you want to do an individual programming project or produce a written research dissertation on a wider subject of your choosing. It depends perhaps on your strengths and weaknesses - perhaps you think that you need to develop your report writing skills or maybe you want to play to your strengths as a programmer.

You will have an individual tutor assigned to you for either module. I know more about the IS dissertation than the programming project so I will try to find out more about it.

There are introductory sessions which will go into more detail on Friday. Since neither are timetabled, you dont have to decide until after the sessions.

Brief History - Daniel Clarke

As asked here is a brief history of my self

I was born in St Albans, Hertfordshire, and later moved to tring (nr watford). After completing my GCSE, the family then moved to Salisbury, Wiltshire. I enrolled at Salisbury college, on the BTEC National diploma for IT practitioners. I Passed the course with a Merit, Pass, Pass (pretty bad marks). I stayed on at Salisbury college to complete a HND in Computing. The course ran for two years full time. I finished the course this year with three distinctions in system analysis and design, Programming concepts and visual programming. I also managed to achieve 9 merits in Database Concepts, Data Analysis and Design, Computer Platforms, Information Systems, Multimedia, Information Systems Project, Personal Skills Development, Network Technology and e-Business Strategy. Last but not least I got four passes in Network Concepts, Quality Systems, Web Development and Work Experience. (I blame my northern tutor for the pass in network concepts and Web Development. Let half way through the unit, spent most of his time playing space invaders, and running his escort website)

My hobbies include films (cinema etc) Bowling (haven't been in ages though). I also like Japanese animation and Manga. My favorites include Dragonball z, Fullmetal Alchemist, Naruto, One Piece and Zone of the Enders. There are more, I also have and run my own website (although it never gets updated and is half in complete) http://www.demonhunter.co.uk were I have a guestbook, livejournal. I also host my own stories that I write (although they are heavily influenced by Japanese animation)

I recently moved to Bristol at the 1st of August, when I decided (constantly told to) go to university. I joined the UWE because of the internet applications course. As it was more focused around a particular area that I was interested in, I believed it would be more interesting then constantly doing databases. Although I am a little worried about the exams, (why can't it all be coursework based.) I still think that it should be fun

Well wasn't exactly brief but there you go.

Thank you for reading
Daniel Clarke

Induction Programme

After enrollment and the talks on Monday, your next induction events in the Faculty are on Friday. However this is a good time to get acquainted with the UWE facilities such as the library, the computing facilities and the students union. Alos you can make sure that you can log in to the machines in the labs you will be using so that we can be up and running in labs in the first week of term.

Of course the main thing is to get your options sorted out.

Options

I've checked out the timetables for the options and here is the picture:

Option 1 - neither have any timetabled hours

Option 2
Running in Teaching Block 1
UFCE4S-10-3 Requirements Engineering
UFCEKQ-10-3 Internet Security
UFIE9H-10-3 Computing and Law

Running in Teaching Block 2
UFCE4P-10-3 Object Oriented Databases
UFIE86-10-3 E-Business Special Interest Groups
UFIEKV-10-3 Digital Stories
UFEEJ6-10-3 Advanced Distributed Systems

Running in Both
UFCE4Y-20-3 Component Based Development
UFIE9S-20-3 Multimedia Systems: Contexts & Applications

Not Running
UFIEKH-20-3 Information Services

As far as I can see, you should be able to choose any options and there should be at least the lecture and one tutorial that you can attend.
