    GEOL10040 Earth, Environment & Society

    Level 1, 2 lectures a week, 1 Midterm MCQ 35% (11th Feb but its prob not too bad) and 1 final MCQ. Everythings on blackboard.

    BMOL10020 Science of human disease is similar I think.

    Or just pick the level 1 of whatever language you did for the LC

    Can you give me a quick synopsis of what that subject entails? I think I might have failed an economics subject (miserably) and I might need an extra subject.

    Start a new language like Spanish, or Italian or something. You don't have to do Japanese or Chinese unless of course Italian or Spanish are full.

    I did Spanish 1 last semester and was really good and not difficult, I am doing Spanish 2 now.

    If you're substituting a module, it'll cost you btw.

    Yeah I know that, but it only costs 100 euro more than repeating! It's simply the best option for me, way better than trying to repeat the same subject again and having to dedicate so much time to it.

    I'm doing Film Style & Aesthetics (FS10030). "There are two grading components of this module. The first is a 1000 word essay which accounts for 30% of the overall grand. The second is a 2 hour exam".

    It's pretty handy although it's 3 hours on a Friday...3-6.

    You could try Film Sound, if it's being offered this semester, I did it last semester (first time it's ever been offered) and it was pretty good, interesting, and pretty easy, 1000 essay and a short answer questions exam. Incidentally, does anyone know when registration re-opens?

    Yep so I failed quantative economics! Did grand in everything else though. Was talking to the programme office and the girl recommended that I take the extra subject this semester and not next year. Now we're already 3 weeks deep so I don't know how good an idea that is.

    Anyone gone the route of only doing 11 subjects in first year and picking up an extra stage one elective in second year?
