Ours is a year head for one of the years too, so sometimes he just leaves for most of the class, that and he gets distracted really easily! And when it was brought up he just says "Dont worry, we'll finish the course easily!" Not so sure

Try doing ordinary maths in a higher level class! We get nothing done, the teacher spends all his time on higher level and I've failed some tests. I basically have to do the whole course next year! :mad:

I'd say! :eek:

leaveiton

English: 2 poets done, Heaney and Plath. Finished our single text work for this year, watched Inside I'm Dancing and currently going through it, also reading How Many Miles to Babylon, done a good bit of functional writing, and started on comprehension.
Irish: 5 poems, 4 prose, 4 essays, a load of comprehensions, all the oral questions in the book (though it's not a great book, there's not much) all the grammar in the book (skimmed over), and a few listening comprehensions.
Maths: Not quite sure, we don't have a book, and we tend to just dip in and out of stuff. We've done some algebra, differentiation, integration, the circle, few other things.
Biology: About 16 chapters, a few experiments.
Chemistry: About 12 chapters and a good few experiments.
German: All the grammar on cases, a few tenses, comprehension, about 7 oral topics, a lot of aural work.
Music: Tchaikovsky, Queen, Irish music, started on melody writing, a lot of practical work, general aural work.

Thought we were doing well and quite ahead in a lot, doesn't seem that way after seeing all that!

I've started for maths and physics but not the rest of them, mainly because those subjects fell by the wayside a bit in the last few weeks.

Awh cool! Yeah I took it up after Christmas this year and just have to do The Market Structures, Factors of Production and Costs and i'm finished! Hope to get it finished before summer holidays start! Do you do many exam questions or what?. I have no teacher so it's tough sometimes to keep up!

Meglamonia

We do all exam papers it's the job!Do that going back as far as 99/98 and you'll know the stuff inside out,keeps repeating itself especially section A

I've an Irish oral on the 4th of May and it's only worth 40% of my summer test, like in the big quiz. We have to learn all 20 pics and every oral topic we've done so far this year, which is everything except the abstract topics. I've resigned myself to getting about 5% in it though so s'all good

Ye have done all twenty pics already? :eek:

Ew, got to talk to the vice principal tomorrow about moving Irish classes. Just gotten to the stage now where I can't let this go any further or I'm never going to get the mark I need in the LC. The other class will be finished the course by christmas, do all oral till the orals and then all the time after to revise. It seems like everyone here is more or less in the same league as that class too. At the rate we're going we'll be lucky to finish by the exam.

Yup! :O And most other oral notes, 5 poems, 5 pros, short stories, ****ELOADS of grammar and we'll be finished A Thig Ná Thit Orm by Friday! My teacher's a lunatic! :O

I think we're sorta behind in English though, although my teacher's really good.


@Crayola - You definitely should, and get your parents to ring in aswell if they have to!

Its kind of mad the year is nearly over. Did anyone else find that after Christmas the workload dropped hugely? I just remember at the start of the year constantly having to study to keep up with new material, now I don't seem to have nearly as much
