What's made you grumpy today?

I'm doing a BTEC National Diploma for IT Practitioners at Chesterfield College.

The deadlines are stupid, they give us 4-6 assignments at a time giving us two weeks to finish them.

I've got 5 outstanding at the moment, all needing to be finished and handed in next week!

I did that course...well started it, never handed an assignment in :LOL:.
 
Why would it be completely worthless?

It is equivelent to 3 full A-Levels.

Exactly my point completely worthless unless your going to University. As you said yourself your too rushed to learn anything so the course mostly focusses on material to prepare you for the exam rather than teaching the subject and theory into coming to the answers yourself.

I am intending to go to University... After Zenos IT Academy because that is fully funded by the government for other courses.

No exams in this course... Only assignments.

It's dependant on the college when they give the assignments out, they have taught it, and taught it quite good.

How can it be completely worthless in any way? I would have a much better chance of getting a job with 3 full A-Levels than GCSEs!

I got triple distinction in that course but cant say how useful it is coz i went straight to uni and not tried getting a job with that qualification yet so :shrug:

the only reason i got swamped with work is because we had class tournaments on various stupid flash games instead of doing the work haha

May have been caught speeding but im not really sure. Overtook 2 cars doing 50 and must of only got upto about 65-70 on the speedo, which is about 2-2mph out, and as I was level with the second car I saw a policeman with a speed gun and he was either aiming it towards the traffic or just lowering it. :bang:

Edit: Just did a quick insurance check for 2 years NCB and 3 points and it only goes up £50 so not that bad.

Unlucky if you do get caught for speeding, my friend was following me yesterday and he said his speedo said 90mph when I was reaching 65mph on the bypass :rolleyes: Most Fiat speedometers are out anyway. :( Let's just hope yours is also.

£50 extra that isn't too bad... If I got 3 points now, well it would almost double my insurance policy without a doubt.

Chances are if it was a speed gun, he would have pulled you over at the time, unless they got your reg.
