    I'm quite worried by the fact that You, JafferAb, are sat here saying that computing is easy, yet over in another thread you're asking what a router does. Surely that's standard details for an A-S syllabus, it sure was for the two that i saw two years ago.

    philth, if you actually know a LOT about computers then you will lose marks in computing. It's the whole thing like at GCSE you have to "know" that electrons are the smallest physical thing, which they're not, but if you say that then it'll be marked wrong. Remember this is for ppl that have never really known a lot about them as well as us sad geeks.

    You'd be surprised philth, we havent been tought much about networking apart from how to recognise different topoligies and the difference between LAN, WAN etc.

    Unfortunatly, NiHiLiST is right.

    In response to JafferAB and his port comment: :p

    Yup Sepherus, you'll probably "learn" more about it later whilst I'm "learning"something you've already done.

    Actually I remember when I did GCSE physics and one of the questions was something like "Explain why Protons and Neutrons are not fundemental particles". The answer they were looking for was "cos there's quarks and a bunch of other crap that protons and neutrons are made of" - except maybe not in those words :p. So you might not know that an electron is actually a lepton and that there are other kinds of leptons but you still had to know there was more than the three basic particles.

    why the hell would i know what a router is ? how do yo uknow i have done that module ?

    people learn by asking, so if you were my teache,r teaching me alevel computing, your not going to say "god, dont you even know what that does" are you! I would now like to see you write down every single bit inside a computer and tell em what it does! :) its technically the same thing, if you go in for lookign up that sort of thing then you will know it, wont you ??

    nono, i dont agree :) you may have a point, learnign all the material from scratch, that the syllabus wants could make you excellent, but i have hardly learned anythign this term, and am the top in my class! (even though, shock horror, i do not know what a router does!!!)


    edit: your right tommeh! iw as thinking of sherry and babysham :p

    Ditto. I have learnt something; binary trees. They're one of the singularly most useless things to know how to construct, which is why I didn't know how to do it. But it's not about useful knowledge, it's about passing the course.
