Once you're registered you'll be able to check your timetable on the timetable page (on my phone so can't link).

You can actually check with your module codes before registration if you have them too.

How do you mean register? Do you remember how many hours you had in first year law?

How so Joe

She means when you go and register as a student, fill in your details, pay your fees, choose your modules. Although, as an llb student, you don't, afaik, have any choice.
Mcr (and I) did the BCL, not the llb. I had fifteen hours a week in first year, but that was five years ago. I am SO old.

Last year, first year llbs had thirteen hours a week, plus tutorials, which I would hazard a guess at one per module per week.
You can have a look at last year's timetable at nuim.ie/timetable.
Just select first year llb. Simples.

Oh sorry, I thought the timetable site was down for the moment! My bad!

Yea, I had sixteen hours in first year!

As always HSJ, you can give a better answer than me! :-)

You can select a load of modules together by pressing shift or as HSJ said, selecting first year LLB.

If you go to the above link, and go into Year 1 and click into each subject and there should be last year's timetable. I do think they are the subjects you will be taking this year though, but the times might change.

I'm going into Maynoth too. Computer science and software engineering (Science entry). Fairly exited. Actually really looking forward to it. Have to do a cycle up now in a few minutes to see how far away it is.

Some advice - start as you mean to go on. It's a hard course and with the 3rd year placement your first and second year grades will be important.

Hey everyone!

Got accommodation earlier, just have a quick question for anyone who had accommodation before: are we told who we will be living with or do we just meet them when we arrive to move it?

First year isn't that difficult, theres a few bumps, but nothing major. Some advice that goes with CSSE09s is to start strong. Also to use the year to further your java/C etc knowledge further. It'll really stand to you!

You'll only find out when you move in and meet them yourself.

Hey Dylan,

Thanks for writing back!!....so do you pick three subjects then in first year just like the arts or is there another way, I'm confused about that!! Does most people. Pick business!? How many people's in the average class and what are the lecturers like!? Is there many assignments due throughout the year!?
Thanks.

You have two options.

You can stick to just the course that you are doing which is MH401 Finance and Economics. You do not chose anything with this option. All modules are assigned to you.

Your other option is to do a Major/Minor program. Where you Major in Finance and Economics and you minor in another arts subject. In this case in first year you would drop your Maths modules and instead pick an arts subject like business or geography or anything else you like. This other subject would be your minor subject and you would only have two modules from this subject in each semester.

If you chose the pure Finance and Economics course then your whole course is laid out for you for all three years, you do not choose any modules they are all set for the whole class.

If you choose to go the major/minor route then they are all laid out for you in first year (you just pick your other subject) and then in the other years you can choose the modules that you want to study - one or two modules per semester will be compulsory.

There are usually about 2 assignments per module per semester plus any homework type assignments assigned. The class size can range from 500 in JH1 down to 50 in TH or even just 10 people in a tutorial.

All of the lecturers are great in first year. They are all very approachable and understanding if you have an issue. If you feel like you cant go and speak to them just do it, after you do you will feel much better and realise that you can speak to them and most likely have your issue resolved.

I think I've asked this before but can anyone who's deferred in the past answer a few qs for me?

• I know that I register late and have to do it in person but what happens when it comes to picking modules? Can I only pick the ones that haven't been filled yet?
  
• I picked major/minor last year but want to transfer back to double honours this year. Can I do that?
  
• When do I hand in the doctor's letter? Do I need anything else to re-register?

I'm sure I'll have more!

decisions

Debs on the 19th, supposed to be in Maynooth 18th, 19th and 20th :eek:

The only thing you absolutely have to be there for is registration - if that's not on the 19th you're grand.

Eek :eek: I deferred last year but didn't realise I'd have to do anything differently going back... Better get on to that.
