    Maybe if you could post the title of the essay we might be able to narrow down her course/department? :)

    It's the school of geopgraphy, planning and enviromental policy (cover sheet) Essay title is:

    "The suggestion that 19th centry dublin was the 'nether world of tenement and slum, of the poor and unemployed' (O'Brien, 1982,xi) is commonly held. However, at best it is a partial truth. Discuss."

    And lecturer is Dr. J. Brady

    Maybe try bebo? Google her name and put bebo on the end, you may be able to track it that way. Good on ya for going to so much effort to get it back to her =)

    With an 04 student number she could be in final year, will try bebo.

    Edit: No joy on bebo =/

    This might be her. I hope her essay didn't have that level of txt spk.

    *checks* No, thank christ. Wouldn;t have been worth the effort if it had. Seems I'd typoed when searching....unfortunately I'm not on bebo, and I've managed to avoid registering on it up to this point. ****.

    Her student number is her contact details!

    Put the student number in the format 0XXXXXXX@ucdconnect.ie and it will send to her eMail address as normal (or even marie.towey@ucdconnect.ie might work if there's only one in the college).

    She didn't come up on bebo search anyways (www.bigulo.com)

    I emailed her already. first thing I did. ANd I'd typoed the name in the first post, my bad.

    Oddly enough, the student number email address didn't work. Might just be ucdconnect log on, which is different for onyone who'se not a first year

    Could always drop it into the Geography Department?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,880 ✭✭✭Raphael


    Will probably do that monday, unless the department is open at the weekend?

    Forgive me if this sounds too easy, but why didn't you leave it with a member of staff from that department in the first place, if you say you found it on campus? Surely this is a highly inefficient way of doing things. Not to put down your good deed, though...


  • Registered Users Posts: 950 ✭✭✭Feral Mutant


    You could try emailing the lecturer, j.brady@ucd.ie. Don't know if that'll work. Some lecturers have their initial in their ucd address, some have their whole name.

    I found it at about 10pm, after leaving the arts block - a few minutes before I posted.

    If she's a final year student then it wouldn't be her student number@ucdconnect.ie. You need to use her username which would be something like a04bf65e@ucdconnect.ie. They only use the student number for people who came to UCD this year.

    in my experience, sum thick (huh huh this 'll be gas) egit could just take it or **** about with it.
    Good thing you took it, prob should have just handed it into the library staff though and anyway, Id say she has a soft copy she'll just print off again


  • Registered Users Posts: 614 ✭✭✭random_banter


    It's not a final year essay anyway, im in that year and we dont have anything like that (or else i am just a terrible student! :D). When I was in first year we had Joe Brady for a development of cities type course, and history of dublin etc was a major topic. So it could be first year. Or second year taking a first year module maybe.

    I know that wasn't particularly helpful. Drop it into the dept, and fair play to ya for going to the effort too!! :D

    May I suggest putting her details on a sandwich board and walking around with a harpsicord and a megaphone. you should find her that way and in addition make a bit of pocket money.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,130 ✭✭✭Royale with Cheese


    Joe Brady doesn't take a mandatory course in final year. He may take an optional course but we have 5 mandatory ones and 1 option. Also I took a course about Dublin through the ages of his in second year, so she may be a second year student. However I'm one of them old mode students, course may have changed since I took it.

    Actually wait the course I took was about the history of the European city. Dublin just happened to be one of them. His third year course could be soley based on dublin.
