Anyone programmed with C++?

Hah, sweet man! I thought you would be older than me :p

Watch out for WTW114 it's probably the hardest 1st year IT modules unless you a math genius ;)

No way dude, BSc(CS) does the same amount of math!

Everybody seems to assume I'm in my 30s :D

WTW114? Which module is that? :o

I thought they did 2 years of calculus? :confused:

WTW114 is calculus first year. If you have your registration form, on page 2 (well at least on mine) it says what modules you must do this year.

You can exempt EOT110 & EOT120 and CIL111 if you take the exemption exams.

As for BSc(CS) you only need the same amount of math as B(IT) except you don't have to do the honours year.

I just want to pass calculus then I'm happy :D One of my friends is doing 3rd year BSc.IT so I'll ask him to help me with my calculus :D

Yeah we write the tests in a week's time I believe.

Sweet maybe I'll see around there somewhere :D , doing BSc(CS) btw.

EDIT: @Acidrain: Erm, sry for hijacking the thread :D
 
Shot :)

CIL111 is computer literacy, right? Too lazy to go check :p

Yeah, the test is p*ss easy, so you better pass it ;)
You can't exempt CIL112 unfortunately.

Also if your Afrikaans and your English is also very good, take the EOT exemption in English, rumor has it it's far easier (did mine in English even though I'm Afrikaans)

I ought to pass :) I'm also doing mine in English.
 
Lol you guys are complaining about being scared for a math module - try doing engineering and having to do algebra and calculus until 3rd year :p

Hehe, I'm not scared just not looking forward to it... :D

But that's one of the main reasons why I didn't want to be an engineer :eek: :D

True but the engineers at least focus more on practical rather than theoretical (well at least at Tuks, they do other math modules than Actuary/IT students) but yeah thank goodness for only 4 math modules :p

Some of my friends took Calculus further, needles to say they've decided to do go other modules for the extra credit ;)

:D

I think B.IT only has 1 year's worth of math :confused:
 
:D

No you'll be doing WTW285 also, Discrete structures second year :p
WTW114 - Calculus
WTW115 - Discrete Structures
WTW126 - Linear Algebra
WTW285 - Discrete Strucures

All IT students do those.

Only way around it is to do Multimedia (no math) but I think it's a BA degree so yeah :D

Oh well, what can you do? :p

I'm quite looking forward to it :) Need to make buddies with the guys in charge of the internet cap per student :D

Every year some hacks appear, sure some will appear this year, but you will learn young padawon ;)
