Phew. Now I have Two Whole Days without exams. Yay. (Must revise for MMS, due to actually having to know stuff rather than being to answer most questions on instinct, but still. Can do things like Actually Go To Sainsburies And Get Some Food Which Isn't Out Of Date. Again, think it went quite well (2.1 kind of quite well, not 1st kind of quite well).
Entirely screwed up the multi-part question, as expected. 'Deontology, consequentialism, social contract and utilitarianism' is probably not 'at least four different types of ethical theory' - I think there are more words in the same vein as the first two (which I saw whilst skimming PPE notes this morning) but I paid even less attention in that course than Discrete Maths, which is quite difficult. There was much waffling, and then I completely failed to answer the last two questions due to going away to do more interesting questions later in the paper and never getting back to them. Which is annoying because the RL/FA one at least looked entirely trivial.
Did the second of the digital electronics questions, because the first one looked dull and numbery (it contained the phrase 'calculate resistor values', which I get lost on) and the second one looked fun, if inadequately specified. Spent most of the time drawing the circuit diagram, which I enjoyed immensely. Word is *still* my favourite vector drawing package. Also, there was No Waffle At All included in that question, which was a refreshing break.
The first probability question was Majorly Straightforward Statistics. And I got to do ascii art for the tree. And I forgot what the formula for V(X) was. Doh. Oh well, it was probably only about three marks. I guessed unconvincingly at various things squared minus various functions of E(X), and picked the formula which gave me a positive answer.
The Software Engineering II question was an absolute gift: 'waffle about four marks worth about these five subjects, with clearly defined words-to-mention'. I like waffling, especially waffling in well-defined manners.
I almost gave up on the RL/FA question and did the Software Engineering I one (which was also waffle, but much less focussed, and I couldn't work out how to write eight marks' worth of stuff about the Spiral Model), but decided I could get more marks by waffling at the RL/FA question, so waffled at it. Did the proof the easier way round (writing down the NFAe's for various elements of a regular expression) and said I was defining regular language so I only had to use that one, as I had run out of time to do the other. Probably should have done the RL/FA bit in the multi-part question instead of bothering with the proofs at all, and just used the phrase 'Kleene's Theorum' excessively.
I did actually read through the PPE question, but they were asking for specific points rather than general random waffle; the SHD question was tempting because it looked like fun, but I didn't have the energy to do another massive drawing. It also looked much harder and more time-consuming.
Were in the right place this time, which looks like it has the potential to be even more baking if the sun is shining. Thankfully it was nice and rainy and cool. Very glad when I came out that I wasn't walking back from town, because it was Raining Very Lots.
