..now I feel fragged.
What I'm describing is the coursework for the artificial intelligence module I took this year, and frankly wish I'd never taken.
I could have taken an ecommerce module, which I'd definitely have flown through without any problems, without a doubt. I chose AI however for both it's relevance to my main chosen area of work, and because I thought I'd choose something I'd actually learn something from, rather than just coasting.
What a big mistake that was; frankly the problems I've had with AI have mainly been due to a fuck up during the semester which left us without a lecturer and switching over to another lecturer, which while being my preference, was possible not best half way through the damn module, but however this was probably unavoidable due to circumstance.
The ACW is another beast entirely; over complicated, badly laid out, and to be rather frank, a little pointless considering the range of possible exercises.
It all just left me feeling rather empty, and frayed at the edges.
Having said that, there many people on my contact list only just getting over the code (which was in Prolog just for reference), and onto the report.
I wish they weren't in that position, I really do, I wasn't in a much better position considering my many screw ups, but I have also warned people time and time again that certain parts of the report are worth more than wasting your time trying to write code that you'll either never write, or would take the next week to get into an editor window.
I'm of course having a wonderful time, just like everyone else, when it comes to coursework, as having printed off ~70 (yes, that's right, seventy) pages of diagrams the other night for one particular hand-in, having spent hours and hours coding and writing for this coursework, you would be excused in mistakenly thinking I'd have a nice break before the exams next week.
Nah.
That would just be sensible. No, there's yet another complicated coursework hand-in due this Thursday to now get working on, before it's straight into exams head first.
I don't think it's needed of me to say anything regards this minute detail, but the next lecturer to talk about how we should be preparing for exams or that we should have put all our effort into the coursework so we could quickly move onto revision may just force my hand..just maybe.
