Frontiers of Physics and Developmental&Biol Psychology..why??
i dunno........

I did Developmental&Biol Psychology last year. Good enough, kinda interesting + in the development lectures you watch loadsa cute baby videos.

I'm (now, just changed it there) doing biology in the modern world and global justice. I found it really really difficult to find stuff that I had any interest in to fit into my timetable.

Have they stopped saying if stuff is oversubscribed? Saw that yesterday but cant see it now

Damn electives. I couldn't take anything Physics related cos it always either
i) Clashed with my lectures
ii) Incompatible with Physics for Engineers
or
iii) About agriculture

1st law has 2 "electives" that aren't exactly elective. Which is pretty **** to be honest.

One of the bigest reasons for going to ucd for me was the horizons program and then we are told that there's two elective modules that are all but compulsary. Frankly I feel extremely let down, but i get the feeling that thats going to happen to me alot throughout my time here.

I might try to enrol to two excess modules when the spillover opens on monday but all i'll be left with is the dregs.

How/when do we know if we've got the electives? The application for them apparently closed an hour ago and still nothing on my Connect account.

Le Rack

hopefully doing drama, both semesters, but it was over booked the other day, so prob won't get it...although this morning when I checked there was no big red warnings on it...when do we know for sure if we've got it or not?

I didn't get into my 2 first law electives which are apparently as crucial as core modules. I also can't seem to drop them from my enrolment page to be able to enrol to anything else. The student desk and law program office are going to be getting an absolute roasting from me in about an hours time.

I'm doing politics (northern Ireland) and then art history (antiquity). I'm hoping that the art history module'll be a walk in the park, greek architecture you say?...I wish my classics major would provide me with some kind of background in that field of study

Garret

introduction to political theory and great management ideas

The_Minister

I'm doing one in English critical readings, and one on the history and use of rhetoric.

why is it that when i go into the"blackboard" through UCD connect that under the "courses enrolled",my two electives arent listed?Is it happening to anyone else aswell?

emeraldstar

NONE of my courses are listed...?!?! not electives, not core modules

Seifer

I wouldn't worry about Blackboard. Frist of all your lecturers might not use blackboard so then your courses won't appear there. Or secondly they're still sorting out the mess they call a registration process and your courses will start to pop up. If you're really worried email IT services but I'd say by the end of the week any courses that are supposed to be there will be.

i'm enrolled into my core subjects but i cant choose my feckin electives cause sis is dead, there seems to bhe a major glitch in the matrix....very annoying...all my prefered electives are being filled as we speak and i cant get in to enrol...i'm going to end up with some absolute ****e why me God, WHY!??!?!

abelard, if Law are trying to force you into staying within your course for your elective choices, or even "seriously encouraging" you, then let the Students' Union know about it. I was aware of this problem (very bad in Law for some reason) last year and told the Registrar who wasn't happy at all, so please do let somebody know if that's still the case.

No they didn't say that. They said that Legal Systems and Methods were compulsory up until last year and that they'd advise you to do it..that's not really making it mandatory for you to pick it as your elective! I did, but that's because I wanted to

Just registered today, so I kinda got reemed out of the good stuff.

So I chose beginners Czech (?), Probs of philosophy and (woops:edit:) info studies (thanks to other thread)(better be good).

And pretty much everything else was incompatable with my timetable.
