    It should be in the core textbook if you bought it or in the document packs...

    Don't have the textbook- not in the packs from what I can tell- ah well doesn't really matter.

    I just read the question again, bit confused, ...

    C. Week 4: Extracts from the Third Report of the Royal Commission on the Conditions of the Poorer Classes in Ireland, Appendix H (1836).

    ... is the one I'm doing. I had presumed it was the whole week 4 article, but according to this it's just the first page and a half or so... is this right? Seems very short to write 1500 words on! ... I'm tired :(

    shhh....

    So did everyone get everything in on time? :)

    I did ! Downey did not recognise me, so told me I must keep to myself during seminars... Little does he know I've only been to one ¬_¬

    I thought he read this thread, or something? was there not some comment about that, regarding anonymity, mysterious threats and all that, a while back?

    edit; got em in on time... working at 7pm... haven't slept... Secret lake, cans, 4pm? anyone?

    Also; anyone think it's weird we didn't have to sign our essays in or anything? they didn't even look at mine... Argh... And Jesus, the version I submitted online ended with "okay, that'll do for now. Just need to cite doc2 somewhere in there, and rework a few things, but you can do that tomorrow in the three hours. Japan you can't. ****."

    or something like that...

    That's why you submitted an electronic version online. It acts as the proof you submitted it.

    He reads this thread?! Well on a completely unrelated matter may I say what an outstanding man he is!

    Friday was a really tough slog. I managed to hand in my essays on time but the print job wasn't great on it. I did print off another version on a different computer but for some reason it came out bandy so I had to use the originals. I hope I won't lose presentation marks. :o

    I hadn't slept a wink. I handed it in around 11:30 or so and there wasn't too many people there. I was almost drunk I was that sleep deprived. Downey seemed in good spirits. As soon as I got home I hopped into bed and woke up around midnight. Were anyone else's eyes killing them? My eyes were damn sore! Today they feel a lot better. I know I say this after every essay submission but no more all-nighters! :cool:

    Anyone heading into UCD next week? I am going to try and go in for a few days and catch up on some subjects because there's too many distractions for me to study at home.

    Seriously does anyone have the essay titles. I got the Asia and Irish Exp done, but i havent been to the lectures to get the Nom to Mech titles.

    Went to the history office to ask them but she just gave me Eamon o Flaherty's Email address...and he walked into the office just as she was writing it!!!!!

    I've to go in on Monday to submit my last essay, and think I'll go to the historysoc talk after that, and partake of some wine!

    "Despite the break next week we are ploughing ahead with what promises
    to be a lively and engaging talk on Monday (9th March) by Tom Reilly:

    'Cromwell: An Honourable Enemy'"

    If any other boardsies are going along, we could wear something to mark ourselves...like... nightcaps, or something similarly appropriate.

    The guy is a lunatic, he has a list of people he does not talk to, so if anyone is on his list he does not give the talk. Nobody from UCD is on his list, yet. You should go, I might be there.

    actually I read your previous comment as "any" instead of many... I retract my meanness.

    Em... isn't Lecturer info and all in the course information on blackboard? as regards tutors, you'll have to go to the history dept to see who you should have had, contact details etc. It's open this week, so you can head in tomorrow.

    I got mine in on time, so didn't have to find out. But nobody answered here about it. I'd say emailling him is your best bet.

    I dont know about that really since he seems to be a bit of a technophobe. Have a whiskey and give him a call :)

    hey, me again!

    Just wondering how to upload the essay on Irish Experience? The tool for doing it doesn't appear to be on the Assignments or Course Tools page anymore?

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks

    surely late essays have to be accepted - the 2/4 grade points you lose for handing in work 1/2 weeks late is standard practice in the college. A module co-ordinator cant just decide he doesnt want to adhere to the standard practice.

    The office don't have the tutors' names, you have to go to the course co-ordinator instead.

    And if you were at one lecture/tutorial, the least you should know is the lecturer's name.... Seriously, you're in final year....
