I've got a brand new suggestion:
Why don't we get a sub-forum of our own?

You mean a subforum of UL?

NO! NO! NO!

We've discussed it before somewhere or other, or somebody has said it at least- the link between Mary I and UL is tenuous at best.

Forgive me if I've misinterpreted your suggestion btw:D

Lads, any help with referencing?

I've an essay using the same book numerous times (It's a novel).

I want to reference it in text. I know I put in (Author, year, page number) but do I have to do this every time I take a quote from the book?

Yes!

Lads.

Using the computer rooms in the morning is great craic altogether.
None of the 1st Years know how to print off files from CDs, and one of them didn't even know how to get her disk back out of the drive. This is great!

D4RK ONION

Tell them the need to right click the disk and select the "format disc" option. That should allow them access to everthing. Failing that, they should take a magnet and guide it over the disc for about 5 minutes.

Note to n00bs: Don't actually do this for the love of FSM!

Yeah you do afaik. You should look up that 'Cite it right' handbook on the LAN. It tells you how to do all that cobblers.

what about (ibid)
The lsu guy said that if you have the same reference 3 in a row or so, then use (ibid) for any consecutive identical references.

Check cite it right though!

Yes do it every time. Is that the 2nd Year English essay worth 60%?

Not when using the Harvard Referencing Style. See below for an example.

The following Latin terms do not form part of the Harvard system of referencing. However, it is useful to understand them when reading work by authors using a different referencing system.

Ibid.

This is an abbreviation of the Latin term ‘ibidem’ meaning ‘in the same place’. It is used as a ditto instead of repeating the previous reference:



Hayes, K. 1998. Skilled interpersonal communication. London: Sage.
Ibid., p.666.
Ibid., p.723.

Also applies to op.cit. , Sine loco & Sine nomine.

On an unrelated matter it would be great to have a Mary I boards beers before the entire country goes up in flames.

Consider it a "bail out" for Flan Costello:pac:

Best idea I've heard all day!

It's on the novel .we had the drama essay but that was submitted two weeks ago long days journey and beauty queen!
This one is catcher in the rye and paddy clarke!brilliant books so it makes it easier to engage with the questions I think...hope!

D4RK ONION

Ah jaysus, that's the easiest essay of the lot (for the reasons you stated). Loved both those books, I really did read those ones!

Also YUUUUUS to boards beers! I wish we had our own forum to make a thread for it

Ah, see I've been using apa referencing!
Thanks for clearing that up

RibenaHead

To all B. Ed. 3s, B. Ed. 4s and whoever else was on home TP:

WE DID IT!!! (nearly!)

Hope the senior TP is going well for 3rd year B. Ed. Psychs and grads!

dambarude

Congratulations to all those who survived TP4725!

TBH I don't know how anybody can do lesson plans for the full day for 4/5 weeks, so hats off to ye lads.

On another note entirely, I was in the college for the first time in a week this evening. I have to say that they've put up the tackiest looking christmas trees I've seen in a long time. 3 out of 10. If you're going to put the decorations up this early, at least do it right!

RonMexico

There is one tree in the library reception that looks...odd. No decorations hanging on it, just some lights. Bleh.

munsterdevil

What's the story with the Mary I forum, is it going to happen, or are the powers that be going to ignore it and hope it goes away???

There won't be any new forums made across the site until a number of lingering problems have been dealt with. Read here in the FeedForward Forum for more details:

Does anyone know if this "MIC 2010-2016 Masterplan" is available to the public?

As a student, it'd be interesting to see the plans for the campus over the next 5 years.

One of the girls has moved out of our house after dropping from her course so we are looking for a new tenant! The house is situated 10 minute walk from the college, just off O' Connell Avenue on St. Joseph's Street. It's a really lovely house, there are all mod cons, a microwave, oven, tumbler dryer, washing machine and line, television with the channels, a dvd player, wireless broadband and central heating as well an electric fire and rent is just 220 a month. There is also ample parking outside the house and is a very safe area. The other girls in the house are friendly and it is very homely. I'll put the link for the the daft.ie advertisment up here so ye can see pictures of the house, tell your friends if their looking too!:D
