Not doing honours maths, I'd probably have to stay in honours for Irish but I really don't think I can afford to rely on it for points. I've been thinking of economics, might be worth it actually.

That'd be sooooooooooo (there aren't enough o's in the world) helpful if you could, thank you!! Whenever it suits youMy teacher takes some quotes from the book and writes a few sample essays for us, he really puts a lot of work in like.
I wouldn't mind sending them to you (or anyone) sometime over the weekend if you like, we've only done Geibheann so far though. 0 -

My teacher writes out 5 or 6 pages of notes covering all aspects of each poem, so those 5/6 pages are all that we need to know for it. When she'll translating them for us, she tells us to write all of the words that we don't know on coloured post-it notes and to just learn the words we don't know. Strangely enough, I find that it works really well! If you want, I'll send you my notes. We've done Geibheann, an tEarrach Thiar, Colscaradh and Mo Ghra-sa so far though, oh and if you want them I'll probably take a while to send them :P It defo won't be til the weekend.So I have a question about Irish poems... am I the only one whose teacher is just making everyone learn off the notes from the book and using them to form an essay? Because I'm probably physically incapable of learning off 5-6 pages of this language I barely understand for all ten of the poems. 8th subject is looking more and more appealing...fewtinsoffroth wrote: »I'm assuming your not doing honours maths then?

The amount of learning involved in business and biology is disgusting, but I don't think I'd be able to do chemistry without a teacher (and my friends in physics say the same about it) so avoid those 4 at all costs!Not doing honours maths, I'd probably have to stay in honours for Irish but I really don't think I can afford to rely on it for points.

If you have a sound teacher who will sign off the project for you, do Ag. Science, shortish course and very understandable.
If that's not an option, then do Economics, it can be difficult at times apparently but it's very short compared to other subjects, and very doable. Also, if you opt for economics (I was gonna do it so I did loads of research) don't buy the curriculum book, buy the Rapid Revision book, it has all of the information to get you an A1 minus probably about 100 pages of waffle

OMG you are soooo lucky. All our teacher does is translete whats written in the book. She doesn't even tell us what we are supposed to know
The amount of learning involved in business and biology is disgusting
Ya it really is horrible and the teachers I have for them are terrible
How are people finding honours maths?0 -

A girl mailed me about that post asking me to send on the Irish notes, I'll send them to you too if you'd like!
Really? All of my teachers are class, apart from my biology teacher and the sub that i'll have for this year while my savage chem teacher is on maternity leave : ) 0 -

Thanks!!:) I've only done one of them so far, so can I get back to you if I need them? D'aww you guys, so helpful. If I have good notes for anything (probably unlikely) you need, just ask!Coeurdepirate wrote: »My teacher writes out 5 or 6 pages of notes covering all aspects of each poem, so those 5/6 pages are all that we need to know for it.

I probably will go for economics, I've already got the revision book and it doesn't look a million miles away from business, so I won't be completely like 'OMG 8TH SUBJECT!!" 0 -
