All my lecturers were grand, my compu arch lecturer was a funny guy.

It's true though. I mean we pay a lot for our registration fee and you'd think the lecturers would make some sort of effort for the money we're paying to be educated.

I hate to break it to you, but the money paid at registration is not for your tuition, it's for capitation. College fees for non-private colleges in Ireland are paid by the EU.

Oh right.... Thanks for that.

isnt that just called leaving?

I hope you know that attendance is noted and can contribute to isolating the fact that you have been a year long waster, therefore in the event of one just about failing there is no comeback,grow up kids!!!

One of my lecturers said that if you don't do particulary well in an exam at the end of year that they'll check your attendance and if it's been steady then you should pass it.

gillyfromlyre

you said it, not worth dossing at all

I've figured I'll have to repeat semester one instead of going into second straight away, screwed!

At least I've accepted it's my own fault

Oh dear, looks like I'm screwed for one or two subjects...
Does this count if the lecturer hasn't been properly keeping attendance..?

no, if the lecturer has no record of your attendance they cant use it in anyway

in first yearI skipped more classes that I went to, in second year I went to all them except for Communications (I think I only went to 5 of those) and last year I went to almost every class

Sweet, not as screwed as I thought then! I've only not been turning up enough for two subjects, but in fairness they're not worth it, my time was better spent by not going...

Haven't really bothered with communications to be honest. I go the odd time but that's only to collect work I've handed in.

ah good old communications, such an annoying module, its something you dont want to do, you dont like, you dont understand why you have to do it but you do, and its really boring.

do you still get marks just for attending? and do ye still have to do the presentation about an business idea your group had?

That_Guy

The first couple of weeks I attended there was no attendance taken or anything and to my knowledge there is still no attendance being taken.

The only presentation we have to do is with a group of three about absolutely anything you want. It's a "communicating and listening exercise".

Merrick

Wow communications... I hardly went to that either... And even when I went we just ended up having the craic with the lecturer. I don't remember having to do a presentation at any stage

hhhmmm.....not sure if the attendance counted in first year or not actually, do you have to keep a dairy/report of your study activity too?

That_Guy

No we don't have to do anything like that at all.
