Have to edit: I've switched out of mathematical science into single honour maths physics.

I'm doing Philosophy in 1st Arts also.How are you finding it?

TheAlmightyArse

I'm finding it quite interesting, but then you didn't bother asking me. </daft drama>

pretty*monster

Ummm... someday's I find it interesting, other days kinda boring.
I like the philisophical problems class, that's fun. And hey, movies!

m1ke

sweet a UCD board, probably will be more active than the one the SU set-up.

I'm in 3rd arts doing history and politics... this year it is great, but last year there was a 95% failure rate in a politics subject, it was pretty **** last year tbh, first year was more fun

I heard someone saying that and I thought they were taking the p*ss.Why is the failure rate so high?

Also,did anyone here watch the film that was shown by the philosophy society today and if so,what film was it?

pretty*monster

I didn't watch it but it was The House of Sand and Fog.

I took that particular option and I can tell you, it was definitely the most boring module i've ever sat in 3 years. The lecturer made it incredibly boring by rambling .... Also there must have been something else going on.... like a decision to clean out the year or something because of too many people. The only reason people did it was because it was set at a very convienient time 12 on Monday.

3rd exp physics...we're a rare breed...
Yess finally figured out who the other 3rd sci people are..great!!

rainbow kirby

Isnt there only about 4 of you doing single honours?

toastyred

there's 3..and about 6 general..and then there's the random double honours people...

Woden

pfft the random double honours people are a rare breed but they are the 1337.

3rd exp physics eh. labs are a pain in the tits. nothing like being handed a few journal references pointed to a few bits of apparatus that probably won't work and going here ya go do an experiment. you can top that off with demonstraters that won't really be able to help you unless they've done the experiment before and even then if they remember it. though ken one of last years random double honours people is demonstrating the honours physics labs this year and he knows his stuff latch onto him for dear life

oh and cherish the radiation and ramser townsend experiment as they will be the easy ones and pray you don't get the photoelectric effect.

theoretical physics first year...i guess i can wish my social life a fond farewell!

Theoretical Physics have the same hours as everyone else in science until 3rd year, when they have like 8 hours a week or something - thats at least 10 hours less than all the other science people. So there's no chance of you having to say goodbye to your social life!!

Oh, I'm in 3rd Science by the way!

rainbow kirby

10 hours a week in 3rd year for TP/maths physics.
But 2nd TP people have to do a ridiculous amount of work.
