COS112 Results

I notice the solutions to assignment 2 are up already, but I'm still waiting on results... I haven't even received my results for assignment 1 yet!

Is anyone else in the same boat?

Hi Velvet,

I've not receieved any results for COS112 either. Both assignments were handed in well before the time.
Patience is a virtue I guess.

Yes.

I haven't got anything back. This is not the 2 weeks I expected when reading the tutorials.

I read on a discussion forum somewhere students complaining about the results of assignments taking so long and why the lectuters can't just post the answers after the closing date for the assignment.

Maybe that's what ther doing now. Which is a good thing. Don't expect out results will be out soon.

I'm still waiting for my COS114 assignment 1 results, which was due 18 april.

My COS114 assignment 1 result went up on myUnisa this week, so that shouldn't be too long gvs.

AndreB: Patience is a virtue I don't have a lot of, but Unisa is helping me address my shortcomings in that area

Hi Velvet,

Don't feel alone in that boat. I think it will take a bit more than myUnisa and/or Unisa for me to get the better of that one.
It is quite a relief to see other people struggling with the same frustrations and anxieties that I'm battling with. At least we are not alone.

Cheers.

Yeah
The forums are a great way to get a sense of the other students, and to not feel too isolated while staring blankly at a program at 2am and wondering why it wont compile - lol. The forums have also got me past a block while programming once or twice.

Interesting thing - got my unmarked assignment 1 for COS112 back today, with an admission credit mark of 10, yet still no posting in myUnisa.
Frustration rules the roost here....

I got my assignment 1 back and the solution this last week but also nothing posted in myUnisa. Very strange.

Well, my 10 credits for Assignment 1 are finally reflecting on myUnisa...

Velvet,

I see entries from you on just about every subject - how many are you doing, and which subjects?
Judging by the marks you have posted you doing exceptionally well.

AndreB

lol - I'm doing too many subjects, and heading for a nervous breakdown
INF105; INF120; CEM101; CSS101; COS101; COS111; COS112; COS113; COS114; MAT103; MAT111; MAT112
What about you, AndreB? I'm seeing you on most of the same forums, and you also said you work full time (plus you have a family, which I don't).

So far, so good. I'm doing quite well in the results I have received thus far. However, I haven't received any results yet for the Maths assignments, which I'm kinda concerned about.

Sorry for the delay in this response, I've been out of town for a few days. I'm doing 7 subjects - COS101, COS111, COS112, COS113, INF105, INF120 & CEM101. My results ao far have been better than I expected. Due to work comitments I'm maybe getting in hrs a week, which usually means a weekend in isolation and not spending time with my kids. Heavy price to pay, let's hope it pays off.
Don't know how you are coping with 12 subjects, and with the results you are getting. What kind of work are you doing?

AndreB

Maybe I'm only posting the good results
I work at a casting agency as a photographer/photo editor/basic support for network & website/responding to casting briefs... It's very chaotic, and everybody wears many hats.
So far I'm managing to do what I need for the assignments, but I haven't found time to really sit down and get to grips with the work in a way that's going to get me through exams. I need to make some more time, but it's not easy (as I'm sure you well know).

That's the scary part about having limited time. You do enough to get through the assignments, but need to put a huge amount of time and effort for the exams.

Enjoy

Dear Students,

The year 2006 is probably one of the most challenging years in Unisa’s existence. The realities of merging Technicon SA, Unisa and Vudec into the comprehensive mega-institution, the new Unisa with its more than 220 000 students, hit the administration and all their systems, including Registration, Production, Scheduling and Assignments, this year. The ripple effect of this situation with its huge delays in processing material of various kinds on the teaching departments is, to say the least, significant. Needless to say that the same is unfortunately also true for you, our student!

Our request is to bear with us this year. The University has appointed consultants to address and improve the situation. Our hope is that things will start improving and normalising towards the end of July 2006.

PLEASE NOTE: It is in your interest to continue with you study program as normal and as you had planned it at the beginning of the year. Please do so under all, even these, circumstances.

We can assure you that the examination admissions will be completed timeously, the examinations will take place as scheduled and academic standards will be maintained under all circumstances.

We would like to assure you that the School of Computing is doing its utmost to honour its tuition obligations.

Best wishes and kind regards,

The lecturers for COS112-V.
