No achievement today, nor a list though i would like to make one. So i'm going on a 2 day retreat for school and need someone to depoit my experience points for a few days. Please post in here if you can or give me a pm, either will suffice.

On my activity, i may become active in the near future. I would really like to, don't get me wrong. But theres so much to do outside of this place that leaves me wondering what i was doing all thoes nights. I love this place and want to continue, but i don't know if this will happen again >.>

If you graduate however, you get to pick whether you want to be a Master or an "Ingenieur" (the Dutch title for Engineer). Personally I prefer Master as a title :p

We have a proverb in Germany... "Dem Ingeniör ist nichts zu schwör" which basically means, someone who is an Ingenieur is an expert in (almost) all fields. So, I'd prefer "Ingenieur". :P

Lol :p Yeah, but Master sounds something like Martial Arts expert or a wise old Chinese/Buddha guy, which is way cooler.

Hmm that kinda sucks indeed. I have something similar here. They came up with a new system with all kinds of new subjects and I was among the last to go with the old system. So I have to be at a certain amount of EC at the end of each year, otherwise I'll have to go do the new system (which is gonna cost me a year). Since my study is quite difficult, I must say I have lots of trouble trying to stay ahead =/

For me, it's not that difficult, it's more like, that subjects I need to finish my studies simply aren't offered anymore. I then have to learn a script and find someone who is willing to offer an oral examn...

Oh that's kinda lame. In our case we simply have to do some other subjects in the new system that are sort of the same as the old one. That seems like a better solution to me since you're not pretty much forced to solve it yourself if you screw up.

Oh okay. I thought you said you had several tests that all counted to one grade for one subject.

It's a bit complicated. I have certain "fields" (like "universal business studies", there's also a field which is called "specific business studies") where I have to gather a certain amount of points, but to get those I have to attend specific lectures that are part of this field and take a test in this lecture. If I pass the examn, I get points (basically I get 3 points for a lecture, but it may be different, depending on how many semester periods per week the lecture had, and if there was some kind of tutorial, etc.).
I need at least 10 points to pass a certain "field" (there's no limit on how many points I can gather in a field, so if I want to attend more lectures than necessary I can do that).

Sounds a bit like the EC system, but with much more freedom. So your basic study is business studies and within that study you can educate yourself in certain fields?

But all those examns are at the end of each semester, and there's a second during the semester break. Usually I write my examns on this second date, gives me more time to prepare for the examn. ^^

Oh and are those second ones like resits then?

It seems similar to my year. My year is divided in periods and two periods is one semester. There are exams at the end of each period and if you fail, you can (usually) do a resit in the next period. Unfortunately, if you fail exams in June you gotta resit them in August which kinda sucks =/

I'm studying "Business Informatics" and I'm not entirely sure if I understand your question correctly, because it's really hard to translate all those terms correctly.
I'm finished with the "basic study period", now I'm in the "main study period" (or "advanced study period"). And within the main study period there are certain requirements I have to fullfill, like getting 10 bonus points in "ABWL" (which I tried to translate as "universal business studies"), 10 bonus points in "Wirtschaftsinformatik A" (=Business Informatics A), attending 2 out of 3 given lectures (and passing the examns, of course) for "Wirtschaftsinformatik B" (=Business Informatics B) and so on.
But within those "fields" I named (well except for "Business Informatics B", where I can only choose between 3 lectures) I can choose between a wide range of lectures.

But all those examns are at the end of each semester, and there's a second during the semester break. Usually I write my examns on this second date, gives me more time to prepare for the examn. ^^

Oh and are those second ones like resits then?

Yeah, the second date is called "Nachschreibetermin" which basically means, everybody who flunked the test on the first date can have a second try there. But it's not mandatory to write the examns on the first date.
Also, it's not mandatory to write the examn again on the second date if you flunked on the first date.

With that vote, you now have 11,000 experience points.

And it was only 5 months ago (June 3rd, 2009) that I broke 30K and became SC. At the time, I didn't know just how much further I wanted to go...guess I really didn't want to stop after all. Maybe when I reach the coveted 1st page of Bahamut's ranks (50 or lower) I'll give it a rest...

That's kinda what I thought. It sounds like a weird system to me, since I guess you'll end up with all kinds of people specialized in different things while they still have done the same basic study. But I think I'd like the freedom of being able to choose your lectures instead of ... finishing a pre-made list like we do here.

Can you also change lectures if you find one too difficult?

Heh same here. Exams for one subject are offered twice each year, but if you prefer to skip them you can do so and it won't have any consequences. I skip a lot of exams the first time that way because I'll need the time for other subjects.

They do that with their songs.
