    Hi, I am external student doing the leaving cert this year. I had intended taking History and agricultural science as two of my subjects and have spent quite alot of time on both projects related to these subjects, however I have been told by quite a reliable source that I will not be able to do these subjects or more exactly that I will not be able to do the coursework projects due to the fact that I have not been supervised by both a teacher and a principal. I have looked it up and it seems to be true, but I've spent so much time on both of these that I'd hate to throw it all away. Does anyone know of any way around this or if there's anything I can do?
    Thank-you in adavnce

    I'm moving this to the Leaving Cert forum. They might have a better idea.

    yes that is correct, I'm an ag science teacher and a teacher is meant to oversee your coursework, in real terms that means they are grading it. I grade my students work and an external examiner comes to the school to monitor it to make sure grades are fair.

    I assume there is a similar set up with history although i know the teachers don't grade it, i assume they have to sign off on something to say it's the students own work.

    you will need to get yourself an ag science teacher and fairly sharpish. you will have to get them to agree to supervise and grade you. Essentially it would be like you going to them for grinds, you would then need to get the external candidate form (P20 - i think) get it signed/ stamped by that teachers school so essentially you are included in that LC ag science class. a teacher can't grade you if you are linked to a school so to speak. and if you are an external student are you registered to take the subject?
    what part of the country are you in?

    Thank you for that advice. It was really helpful. I have bee in contact with both an ag science teacher and a history teacher and they're looking in to it for me, so hopefully I will get it sorted out, fingers crossed anyways!
    Thanks again for the advice
