Uni students - have you been studying over summer?

Nothing, wasn't even told to!

Here's me thinking going to University is about using your own initiative

Of course not!

Only for my resit.

If I didn't have it then I would have gone nowhere near a textbook.

Been doing reading and been practising CAD stuff. Last year spent most of my time doing my dissertation(Architecture)

what do you think

r3loaded · 6 Sep 2009 at 20:07

Yep, failed one module. Resit is in summer, but I'm revising now to get it out of the way cos 3rd year is gonna be a toughie.

Planned to study... but the typical "I can do it tomorrow" has been happening for the duration of the summer

Yup, unfortunately for me I start on Tuesday! :eek:

Do you have to ask.?

Mattus · 6 Sep 2009 at 20:48

Not much, unfortunately. I have an essay which counts for 10% of my degree and which is intended as a project for my year abroad, which I've just finished. You can guess what kind of state it's in

gam3r · 6 Sep 2009 at 21:19

Well indirectly - Yes...

I've been working as a Java dev over summer, learned so much, not only java but other languages/technologies...

If I didn't get the internship however, I probably would have done jack all!

Well I'm going into first year this October, and have read one book, and reviewed all my A level notes over the break.
Also, my course stated that an online assessment had to be taken too, so I worked towards that a bit, and took that exam too.

So I have done a little, but not much.
Still had a refreshing break, but I think it's important to keep the work ticking over.

No. The summer 'break' is for earning money. Any holiday you have should be kept as holiday.

Besides, I start work at a intermediate date and I work very hard to compromise, so studying over the summer doesn't fit my working routine.

p4radox · 6 Sep 2009 at 21:44

Not studying, no. But I consider my job to be pretty good experience.
