A History and Physchem question.

RocketFalls

I've dropped out of college to re-sit the Leaving Cert as an external candidate [didn't get the course I wanted because of crap points last year, opted for last CAO choice, didn't like the course].
I'm taking History again and thinking of doing Physics & Chemistry [I'm looking to do a science course, and the previous one shocked me with the extent of my scientific ignorance outside the field of biology].

Anyway, queries:

[a] Does the History course change every year? I did Later Modern History the last time around, and I still have the books and knowledge and so forth. Will I have to do Early Modern this year?

Do you absolutely need to do experiments for Physics & Chemistry? As I'm repeating outside of school, I won't have access to a laboratory

Before anybody points this out, I'm also taking other subjects to pad out my points.

You can do Later Modern again but you will have to submit a new project >>>>> http://www.examinations.ie/schools/S_82_09_LC_History_requirements_for_repeal_LC_History_Candidates.pdf acccording to that document for last years exam. I presume the same rule applies to 2011

The documents question is on the same topic as for 2010 >> http://www.examinations.ie/index.php?l=en&mc=sc&sc=pm

Some colleges run leaving cert phys/chem/bio experiment days in January. Places fill quickly so give them a ring / email to see if they can squeeze you in. NUI Maynooth, DCU, University of Limerick I believe are the colleges involved. I think GMIT did it on a small scale one year.

Excellent. Thank you very much [think I recognize you from another one of my confused threads..].

Research Project is all sussed out. Nixon-Presley Meeting is both interesting, relevant and hilarious.

" A candidate is required to sign Form P.2 as a declaration that the submitted RSR....was completed under the supervision of a teacher'

Did you just go back to your old history teacher and ask him/her to supervise you for the 2011 RSR?

can someone tell me what date the special research project has to be submitted by?
