    I barely went into college at all in 2nd year, and did fine. I copped on a bit after that but still picked and chose what to attend, there are some lecturers that are poster boys for the fact that being an expert in your field doesn't mean you are good at passing your knowledge along effectively!! I agree with cson in that students are learning exactly whats required to do well in the exam and no more than that. But hey, that's life, at least with our current system. And I agree with Jimmy Moose - you're only in 1st year once. Don't be a twat, make sure you do enough to pass, preferably enough to get respectable marks, since whether it goes towards QCA or not, trust me 1st year will come back to haunt you. But god, enjoy yourself too. Most of my friends are in good professional jobs this year, and almost all of them went in drunk/missed a whole week/missed a whole module, and still came out on top in the end!! Ah the good old days!

    I've a little over 20 hours a week, I've been to 5 hours since Christmas. Yes, I'm feeling it now. Not regretting it, but definitely feeling it. I've a mate who hasn't gone to anything this semester yet has managed to hand all is essays and projects in.

    Tis coming to the end of first year now and all the joking we'd do sitting around slagging someone who slept in and missed class;

    'Ah tis a slippery slippery slope!'

    Why yes, yes it is.
    I often found I'd come into college, meet a friend who ALSO wasn't gonna go to class and got uber sidetracked! Last semester? 90% This semester? 40%

    Re: person complaining we're wasting taxpayers money? As long as we walk outta here with our degrees you can't complain. And anyway, a LOT of the money we take in is Fees from International students.

    How about people who complain about us less motivated people come to Inorganic Chem with me!


    And i think I deserve a drum roll..........I had my first golden week of first year this week :) Maths and Physics both ran classes and I made them all =D

    (Please, don't ruin it for me :P)

    Good luck in the exams peeps!!:D
