    I seem to find structural forms very easy and same with perspective. I hate inter penetration as they make no sense! Road geometry isn't too bad I think

    I hate structural forms and any focal spheres stuff... section I thought was alright but section c not so much.
    Does anyone do dynamic mechanisms in section C or is it just me?

    They're not bad, quite easy to visualise!

    Could you teach it yourself? If my teacher doesn't show us how it's done, I'll teach it myself. Wouldn't hurt to have a backup if it doesn't turn out to my liking on the day.

    I suppose if you have a textbook showing you you definitely could (god knows I've teached myself better methods for other questions!) We've done the cams and linkages and that seems to be it for dynamic mechanisms, they're not bad at all!

    Well I'll try it myself sometime next week. Have three more papers to finish this week and relax for the weekend.

    I'll report back to you next week!

    Warm chocolate brownie with ice cream and cream......*drools*

    Just study the diagram and the notes. Then attempt to draw out the diagram, and don't stop until you get it right. There's no other way really. Make sure you know how to explain it as well.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but can't you just decide not to do Geometry in Question 6B and do the theorem in 6A instead?

    I'm here recording myself speaking French, trying to perfect my accent. I can always do the French accent (gutteral 'R' and all the rest) when I'm just messing around with friends, talking around the house or talking to myself in French. But then in class, I can never get it. I think I just freeze completely and get a little embarrassed of the accent. I don't know why. I know it sounds weird but it really happens, I just can't do it when the teacher asks me something. :/ I need a little more confidence talking in French I think!

    At least in the actual oral there won't be a room full of your mates to listen in, you'll be more calm.

    Talking in a ridiculous French accent as stupid as you sound is most likely worth it, like if you throw in a word or two of English in a real French accent the examiner would most likely give you the benefit of the doubt!



    On a different note, I've an Irish oral tomorrow, I have so much work to do right now that I just sort of gave up and went on my laptop! Does anyone else have that problem that when they've so much work they just sort of give and go for a nap or something?

    I reckon if you get an authentic Irish accent prepared you've a good chance of winging it. :rolleyes:

    That's what I was thinking. Just didn't have exam papers handy to check it out.

    Deise, I agree with you completely. Give me stats and probability any day over geometry and trig. I thought I was complete weirdo because nobody else seem to like stats and probability, I'm not alone now :)

    You are a complete weirdo trig is beautiful! So clear cut and straightforward once you get it!

    (having an engineer for a dad probably helps! :P )

    I love Irish oral :') Seriously, I'd talk Irish all day if there was someone to listen to me :rolleyes: It's how the language is meant to be used; for actual speaking, rather than all the crap we have to do for the LC course (filíocht and prós namely). I think it's my (amazing!) teacher who I've had since first year who instilled this love of Irish in me but either way, actually speaking the language is just brilliant I think <3
