    Ok, need to change my elective for next semester and pick up some thing else. Anyone have an modules they would recommend? In stage 2 Arts and would like something that would not take up too much time from my main subjects.

    Inequality in Irish society is easy enough but a little dull. No exam - there are 3 assignments 1) reflective piece about the course 2) detailed final essay plan 3) 2000 - 2500 word essay.
    Very nice in the department too, really helpful and great use of blackboard.

    Cognitive clashes but that Inequality one looks really good, and I like the idea of having no exam! ;)

    Earth, Environment and Society (GEOL10040) is a very interesting and relatively easy course.

    It basically looks at man's interaction with the environment and our effects on it. It is a science course, but is an open module and is basic on science terminology and doesn't expect any prior knowledge.

    MCQ mid-term and end of the module for examinations.

    Check it out:

    Though iirc it is quite popular and was oversubscribed when I did it.

    That seems pretty interesting alright and relevant considering I do geography. I've been warned though to stay clear of geology as it's pretty hard, would you agree?

    Not this course, its quite basic. Its a level 0 course I think (or maybe level 1) so its not that hard. It was basically created as an elective module for anyone in UCD.
