I haven't seen one course which teaches or does anything at all with PHP; available in the UK :(

Just an update: I completed my Economics exams, and I think they went really well:D

Apparently our single internet course does it, I've seen people trying and failing to do the most simple PHP/HTML things. One of my modules did JSP & Servlets which I hated, I'd have got a top mark if we could have chosen the language to do the assignment in.

Well in my computing coursework we're doing something that would take me a day in PHP + HTML/JS but my tutors insist that those who do it via programming find it harder to answer questions in the exam and normally drop by a grade below the others so i'm having to do it in access which I hate. The fact is they make the exam questions suited to those who use ms access so that the people who have the ability to program can't answer as easily. Are you referring to the comp science course at bristol Lee?

Component Based Software (which was the JSP/Servlet stuff) was part of my Comp Sci degree. The only other web stuff I did in it was very, very, very basic HTML and perl in the first year, however there is apparently a really easy module where all you do is install Apache and do some more basic HTML in the final year, and going by what I heard I could have done it in a week *lol*

They started a new Internet based degree this year which I would have liked to have done as it seemed fairly usefull in comparision with what I've studied during the last three years.

So drop out, and start over :p

My course will give me skills in most areas of computing (1st year), then I am specialising in Internet Computing (2nd & 3rd years), which will mean I get to do more useful stuff;)

I've one more exam to take to get my Honor's, if I drop out now then I'm just stuck with a plain BSc which makes you look lazy and incapable. Besides I don't want to and can't really afford to stay at Uni for another 2-3 years.

Especially considering this new crap they are planning on bringing in in 2006 to increase fees... it's ridiculous ... :(

NTLDR 01-19-2004 03:44 PM

Its stupid, its already ~?1,150 for a full-time student a year, so a typical 3 year course, with a work placement year that you have to pay for costs ~?3,600. They already increase the fees by ?25-?50 every year and yet you never get anything more for your money :rolleyes:

Chris M 01-22-2004 09:21 PM

They've already given universities the power to charge what they want - Not sure if it is in effect yet, but it definately is soon...

It sucks - Students get punished for the Government's inadequacies ;)
