    This is making me seriously angry! Why would they put them on the wall in the college when they know everybody is in Tipperary/Cork/Kerry/Roscommon/Ballygobackwards this week?!

    It's ok to be angry. But don't be surprised :)

    That's one horrible timetable I have:(

    Could any 4th Year B.Ed Psych tell me if I'll have FYP Preparation every Friday evening at 3?

    No. It didn't start til week 3 I think. A lot of it is completely pointless - referencing and how to use the library. Most of it is a rehash of the academic writing module you did in 1st year. You have to sign in every week for weeks 3 to 10 ish. Then after that, there are subject specific ones, so you'll only have to go to the psychology one.

    That sounds exactly like what I thought it would be like. i.e. painful. If it wasn't on at such an atrocious time it might be bearable.

    I won't shoot the messenger though, thanks for the headsup RibenaHead!

    I must say that my altered timetable is much better!

    It definitely is! Now all that's left is to get History of Education and Cert. at different times and we're flying it! :D

    I've been looking into that and I don't think it can be done... As far as I can see History of Ed isn't on at any time in the B.Ed2 timetable that we are free. I could be wrong though (hopefully I am!).

    Still, the thoughts of getting a bus at 4/5 on a Friday evening weren't pretty. At least if we do have to go in on Friday morning we'll be finished reasonably early.

    Oh, and hello after Xmas!

    I wonder if this could mean the end of the B.Ed Psychology, I had already heard that there is talk of it being discontinued. Whether it's true or not, I don't know. I don't particularly like the idea of having a degree from a defunct course when I graduate...

    It won't mean the end of the B. Ed. Psych. according to a certain lecturer who addressed this today, mentioning that he read it on "boards!" Glad to see lecturers noting our concerns!

    The same lecturer (I'm guessing) said the same thing to us!

    Hi ThePower180, Noel here in the SU.

    I actually did Maths to fourth year as part of my BA, along with Media (weird combo I know). Like you, I did Ordinary Level for the LC and got an A1 and I got through the course here in Mary I fine. By the end of 1st year all Maths students are on the same level so you go into 2nd year the same as those who did Honours for the LC.

    The study guides are a great help before exams as are the tutorials. The topics are usually ironed out a bit more in those.

    You cover some computer maths in second year, C++ to be precise, which can be interesting. Most of the topics covered continue on from first year, just that bit harder, as you would expect.

    Final year, as with most subjects, is the hardest. You cover some fairly abstract material that will take a while to sink in but the plus side is that everyone will be feeling equally lost. You will eventually understand the material though. You do more C++ in final year again also.

    Hope this helps in some way. Feel free to call down to SU if you wanna talk about it in more detail.

    Noel

    Anyone any recommendations for a dictaphone? As far as I know none of my lecturers are against them, I just can't write notes quick enough!!

    On a similar note, would anybody like to start a trend of bringing laptops to lectures? I'd love to be able to type notes but I think I'd look like a lunatic typing away to myself!:o

    The dictaphone idea is an interesting one, have you asked your lecturers about it?

    D4RK ONION used to bring his laptop to lectures all the time! :D I brought mine a few times, but rarely used it. I found solitaire too distracting... >_>

    I reckon you'd have to clear that with each individual lecturer. Some of them could be weird about it. Although, most of what you hear in lectures should only be supplementary to the course readings!

    I type so much faster than I write, the odd looks are worth it for the increased speed and easier access of typed notes. Just go for it sure, what's the worse that could happen.

    Also, it's been a while since I posted here. Hello fair Mary I students. How goes it?

    I got permission from my lecturer to use the dictaphone as long its for my personal use only:rolleyes: Its really only 1 subject I wanted it for to be honest.
    After trying to write 6 pages of notes this morning, think I'm going to give it a try and then type up the notes afterwards.
