3rd History (Formerly 2nd History...)

Brimmy

What are you guys doing in terms of reading? Using any good historians or what? I'm going to do the question on Education and one on Welfare with Health being a back up or using it with Welfare.

Think I might do transport too to cover myself but I really hate this module.

MNG any chance I can get your essay? I can trade you one on the Commission for Poor Relief that has lots of Primary material with not a lot of secondary (Which was why I was given a C+, bit harsh I thought but oh well).

If all you arts heads spent as much time studying for your leaving cert as you do whinging in this thread then you wouldnt be arts heads would you?

None of this matters considering none of you will have jobs. The great Unemployable.

Brimmy

What's that go to do with anything? How are we whinging?

Oh no we might not have jobs in a Recession like most other people. Suppose I could always waste my life playing poker and looking like a bum because I debate the value of 2 euro.

Stop trolling. You're not wanted here.

I think we can do without that sort of behavior, don't you?

Now if you'll excuse me, I should get back to studying for my real degree.

The pointlessness of your post, and mocking of your poker career have already been dealt with, so I'll say it with song.

Cool, I've sent mine on. :cool:

I've tried sending mine to you twice now and have gotten 2 failures. Got a different email address I can send it too?

Yeah. Right now I'm on a Sovereign State Cramathon. The most boring Cramathon of them all.

Sh*t I confused you with passive as I sent one his way too. I'll send it on to you now.

Worse than the Irish Experience? Seriously I cannot cram for this exam. I just find it horribly boring and irrelevant. I can see myself scraping a pass in this and having my other grades componsate for it.

I'll be cramming straight after Australia History all weekend but why does the Manchester derby have to be on this weekend

It actually is. One question I'm studying for concerns economic explanations for state formation. My brain sighs just thinking about it.

I agree with you on Irish Experience though. My waffling skills will need to be on top form if I'm to write anything worthwhile. I might take a pass grade in that exam the way things are going at the minute.

Brimmy

That could be a bit annoying all right. When's the exam?

Just touching up my notes there for English exam tomorrow. 6pm exams are dead handy as it means I get the day to cram.

As for Irish Experience I really think I'll be lucky to come away with a C from the exam itself and I'll be happy for it. At least I have 3 exams before then to get the waffling skills up to scratch

Dave!

I did feck all study today... 3 days to study for Aus, which is probably adequate if I get the thumb out tomorrow! Gonna also have to get a bit of Irish study done in that period. I have an elective exam Saturday evening, so I'll just spend Saturday day cramming for that one. Then Sunday I'll cram for Irish, and then I'm free on Tuesday!

...then back at Christmas to repeat Operating Systems... f*cking piece of f*cking sh*t....

Brimmy

You know you're repeating already? Sorry to hear that.

Actually if we have to repeat does that mean we have to wait an additional year till we can graduate or are we given the parchment after Christmas when the module is passed does anyone know?

3 days for Asia is more than fine. I'm only spending 1 and a half (from Thursday evening). Though I did do all the readings for one of my questions already and have everything whittled down to just under 2 A4 pages of notes for it.

9-11 on Thursday morning unfortunately.

My plan is to do a bit of reading before I go to sleep then spend all day tomorrow cramming.

I'm feeling a bit better about Asia and Australia. I found a book in Finglas library on Australia which looked like it was for secondary school kids but it summed things up rather nicely!

Nah I could manage to pass by comp, we shall see. Hoping to f*ck that I scrape it... It would suck to fail for the first time in my last semester of my final year.

Mr.Nice Guy

If we pass the exams but miss out on the grades we wanted do we have the option of repeating?

Loving the optimism on this thread by the way!

Brimmy

I don't think so. It's not like we have had the option in the past so if your exam is going terrible just fail on purpose and repeat and get it capped a glorious D+

Learning poetry is annoying. I've learned off about 40 lines well but there's one stanza that I just cannot remember. Ugh!

Also how many questions were you guys preparing for Australia? I was going to do 3 but with time constraints it looks like it's going to have to be 2. I think it should be ok though seeing as he practically stated what's coming up on it and I remember enough to waffle the Yellow Peril/End of White Australia if it comes to that but I don't think it will.

simonrooneyzaga

with 75% of the degree already done, and coasting towards a slightly disappointing 2.2, my main objective at this stage is just to pass everything so I dont have to return from new york at christmas next year!

simonrooneyzaga

anybody check out the past paper for the Irish experience from 2007 - looks very difficult!

Brimmy

There wasn't an Irish Experience module before though? I thought there was one that was similar that focused more on the political rather than the social implications?

simonrooneyzaga

they had a past paper up but i presume it has nothing to do with this module as none of the material on the paper has been covered in our course! I was quite worried there for a minute :-)

Completely ignore that one. Not the same lecturers. The sample paper is the way to go. I went in to the library last night and was surprised at the amount of books still available to loan for the irish exp. Most are usually gone or 'missing' by now.

Brimmy

I think everyone is using Jstor for it... at least I know I am. Might try get to the library on Saturday and see if there's any of use.

What topics are you going for? I usually dont even check jstor for irish stuff

Brimmy

I'm going to do Education and was going to do Welfare but think I'll do Health instead. With transport as a back up because they're more confined than Welfare I think.

You?
