hah! i hope your wrong as i was absent from last weeks all nighter but will be embarking on my own tonight!

I know at least 4 people in the same boat also so there will be a lot of angry 3rd years outside the history office tomorrow if they're not accepting them!

I might see you there, but I'll be handing in the Irish experience one lol.

Omg, this Irish Experience Essay is so bad that i might actually consider writing " I'm sorry" in big black letters on the front page. It's dreadful, but how can you make 2,000 words out of 4 pages. Starting to reference now, should be fun! Still don't know how i'm going to upload it, there is no yolky bobby on the Blackboard Section for it anymore.

Just on the Downey thing, wasn't he co ordinator for Renaissance to Enlightenment in 2nd Year, and The Rise Of The Asian Tigers? Surely someone out there in boards land knows someone who handed in a late essay in one of those modules and can enlighten us on his policy on late submissions?

i did the renaissance to enlightenment course he did. everyone i knew was too afraid to hand them in late to him
my advice, hand them into the office and run away before he sees you.

is the policy of the school not 2 weeks? or is it at the discretion of each lecturer? good luck anyway!

This time last week I was only beginning to start to die a slow horrible death thanks to an all nighter.

Now I'm off to bed. Life is good!

Have any of ye asked for an academic reference from any of the history lecturers?

My grades for last semester are good but it is just that my attendence at seminars wasnt great.

It is hard to get to know a lecturer in ucd because even if you do have one of them for a seminar, it is usually just a discussion in class and they rarely learn your name.

Should I just email them with my results and hope for the best or call to their office and explain that while i wasnt in seminars the whole time, my grades are still good and could they give me a reference?

Would it be worth asking a lecturer for this semester even though it hasnt finished?

Any one have a similar experience?

Cheers in advance for any help.

I'd recommend calling up to the lecturer's office, introducing yourself, and asking them if they'd mind being your reference. Bring a brief academic CV with you that you can leave with them (courses and grades, etc.). Also tell them what you're applying for - MA, PhD, etc. and in which area. Doesn't look good if you email them - it can come across as a lazy option.

I had my seminar today and it was on the Week 8 one. It was on the first extract only which is just a page long and deals with the diseases of 1847. There was also some discussion on the map which was on the next page. That was it.

We were broken into groups and asked stuff like why the diseases broke out, why it happened in certain places etc. It was one of the handiest seminars I've done actually which was good because I'd just done an exam beforehand. :cool:

Does anyone know what the story is with regards to the movie that's to be shown for Asia & Oz course? I think it's Letters From Iwo Jima?

Anyone know when it's being shown? Sometime next week isn't it?

Class photo? what? when? please tell me this isn't Monday 20th too... I'm missing f*cking everything by being out of the country 'til the 21st. I really want to go to that last lecture and the ambassadors thing. The 27th suited me fine!!! Stupid non dubs...

Incidentally, I'm running paintball on the 26th with gamesoc, need to fill a couple more spaces before I pay the deposit. It's €35 with 400 paintballs. PM me if you want in, history folk!

Oh, Aldous must have only emailed the *best* students

Dear Final Year History Student,

It is with great pleasure that I write to invite you to be part of the School of History and Archives Final Year Photo. This will be taken next week on Tuesday 14 April at 11.35 a.m. directly after the 30 minute revision lecture for the Irish Experience core course. We will meet on the steps of the Tierney Building. Members of staff will also be present. I hope that this photo will serve as a fond reminder of your years as an undergraduate student at UCD.

A high resolution digital copy of the final year photo will be made available free of charge on the School website. Students may prefer to order prints at low cost directly from the School Office.

Tea and coffee will be served in the School of History Boardroom (K115) following the photo session.


Yours sincerely,


Professor Richard Aldous

Head of the School of History and Archives

You guys should totally co-ordinate on all wearing some similar item of clothing, or a red carnation or something.

That's kind of like the way Richard Aldous operates, appears as a puff of smoke then *puff* he's gone again!:rolleyes:

I wonder, is it possible to 'gate crash' the photo or even just the free coffee bit? I doubt they're going to mind given everyone will be 'busy' with 'study'.;)

Mr.Nice Guy

Will be hard to fit us all in a photo I'd say but I reckon I'll go along because I'm a sucker for nostalgia. :pac:

I wonder why only some people got the email
