    My English exams state that I am not allowed to repeat material from my mid-term essay, does anybody know if they follow up on this?

    What they mean by this is you can't answer on the same texts. Yes they do check.

    There are no bike racks, but plenty of railings and fences to which you can lock one. There are always loads of bikes locked, its very safe.

    Graphs and Networks wasn't overly pleasant, but not overly surprised by that, was stupidly unprepared.

    Cognitive Science's paper was unlike what I thought it'd be, but it was grand, not too hard, just hoping my answers were as detailed as they should be.

    Keep doing the past papers over and over again, that's how I did it anyway. The principles of economics book was really helpful too.

    Tax 2 was a mean paper. Difficult but more importantly mean

    These exams are going awfully so far.

    Roll on summer freedom.

    I'm doing philosophy too! Is it intro to philosophy that your doing because the exam is worth 34%, because the 2 essays were each worth 33%!? Do you have any idea what questions are the best to look over :rolleyes:

    Ethnic Conflict was kind of what I expected. The questions were fair enough but if you didn't study I'd say you would struggle. Anyone else have it today?

    I take it that you aren't doing intro to moral philosophy then, my exam is on Monday also!

    How do you keep your energy up for the 6pm exams? I have a 6pm exam this Saturday and Saturday week, and not looking forward to them - by 6pm in the day, just with studying, I'm wrecked, nevermind starting at exam then. It probably doesn't help that I get up at 7am but changing my sleep schedule isn't really an option.

    Maybe the adrenaline of the exam will be enough to keep me energetic and alert!

    Yeah, I had it. Section A was handy enough. Section B wasn't that great of a section. Did the power sharing question, kind of vague to be honest. Cases were key to the exam. Luckily I used about 4 different ones.

    International Politics is going to be nasty on Tuesday.

    Had a 6pm exam just there after a 9am one earlier today. It's all part of an elaborate scam to get money from repeats.

    You can progress to stage 2 with 50 credits, but you'll have to repeat, resit or substitute them at some stage.

    Just to note, you can only substitute option and elective modules, not core modules.

    @weebushy - thanks !!

    Here is another very random question that has the head of history school baffled .....

    I picked as an elective - modern America I'm a first yr and that's a second year subject .
    Next year it is a core module in history so I cant do it again ad they don't seem to know what to do about it !!

    I've basically been told " I have to complete all cores in stage 2" and that I cannot resit it - so I have to take it again but I'm not allowed to take it again !!
    Im in same boat with art history too !

    Any ideas ??
    I've spoken with lecturers - office ppl - heads of both schools and nobody seems to know they all just go " sssssssssss oh I don't know what your Donna be able to do "

    Go to the Arts programme office. They should be able to sort it out.

    It would be a scream if they wrote 'aut disce aut discede ' on the resit paper. :D

    In all seriousness, <e700 might be okay for a better choice; just remember constraints on progressing to the next stage! I know one or two people who have ended up repeating a stage for the sake of one or two repeat modules! :eek:

    So if you fail a core module in one semester and register for another, different core module in the next semester to replace it, this isn't allowed? So irrespective of your grade in the new core module you still need to repeat the failed core module?

    How would you choose a different core module for the next semester? Core modules are core, they can't be chosen - they are modules that must be taken by students on that programme. Essentially, core modules are unsubtitutable.

    In saying that core modules can't be substituted, they can very occasionally, but this requires approval of the Programme Board, and is only in exceptional circumstances.
