id love to know the percent of people who dont go because they are hungover

Asked to guess how many students would be suffering from the after effects of alcohol on a typical Monday morning, the French lecturer estimated that it would be one third of the students would have a hangover.

well this says it all. she has no idea how many students are hungover, it is a total guess. obviously some are going to be hungover but we cant take a guess from a lecturer to be an accurate statistic.

troll?

Lets just clarify this:

A lecturer at NUI Galway has revealed that up to up to one third of the students attending her classes come in with hangovers and expressed the belief that alcohol has become a serious problem in our colleges.

This is someone's opinion. I wonder how she came to this conclusion. did she breathalyse students ? Conduct a survery ???

Most likely they just look hungover becuase her lectures are boring

alcohol causes hangovers?

Maybe some are just tired or maybe the college where RAG week was canceled due to it causing a lot of damage from drinking related issues has a problem with drink.

I went to college for three years and never attended any lecture on a Friday.

Maybe she's just very boring and the students are tired listening to her?

Why not base it on their grades? Surely that's a better way to gauge who the government should be putting through college.

If you saw me at 9 on a typical Monday morning "bleary-eyed" would be a complete understatement and that's without ever having touched a drink.

She probably just has an awful personality. I'm sure she meets a lot of hungover people.

One third? It seems the percentage has decreased. This is indeed good news.

Well at least they're preparing themselves for entering the work force properly.............

Yeah lectures on a friday are bad.also on a wednesday cos tuesday and thursday are the going out nights in our college. Then theres those ones on monday that are hard to make because you are up late at the weekend. Tuesday and thursday are the good days :pac:

Yes any student who fights the will to stay in bed in the morning after a night out to go to french should be knighted :pac:

I had a saucy French lecturer for a year in College, to be fair to her she had some 'mi-wadi' on her tho not the best face but I'd defo have still given her one in the jax after a lecture. Anyway my point is that even this French Milf in her short skirts couldn't get me into French class anymore than 10 times over the whole year. I gave up French after that year cos we were getting a fella to lecture us who defo would have failed me

They should just schedule the lectures and tutorials with milfs in mini skirts and the hot lecturers towards the end of the day haha

Jimmy Iovine

Jesus what a shít article. Can't believe they're basing it all on one persons guess. If they went out and asked 5 people it'd have more relevance. If she said 87% I wonder would they have run with that story?

eoins23456

if they did actually do some proper research and had accurate figures it would make for a much more interesting read

So what? It's the student's decision at the end of the day.

I'm starting college in September and I want the experience college life, hung over or not.
It's been happening for years and years before this so what's the problem.

I'm going to work because I'm not a waster but damn I want to have a good time as well!

saiint

only 1/3?
numbers seem to be decreasing -.-

eoins23456

numbers are about 50 or 60 percent on the morning after a going out night id say

I wonder how many people after dragging themselves a few hours across the country to get in for the lecture look "hungover" on a Monday morning when they're just tired.

saiint

they have a curer on the way in
fresh as a daisy

Sounds pretty standard for NUI Galway.

Good luck getting a job when you graduate.

I'm an NUIG Arts graduate, I have a job. And a decent postgrad. Come at me.

Though, then again, I think I only ever came into a tutorial or lecture mildly hungover twice or three times in all of four years - and it didn't stop me doing anything.

I will say this much, final year lectures had an utterly dismal attendance rate. Some people just don't seem to get how useful it is to turn up and actually interact with the lecturer.

I didn't come into college the morning after drinking either.

I've got a great job and I'm an NUIG grad.:cool:

Well, I did, I was just very rarely incapacitated. I hate not turning up.

Still, prejudices gonna prejudice.

Does a bear sh*t in the woods? Like this is news?

I was rarely able to make Friday morning lectures in my college years becuase of Thursday nights.:D*









*As I did science in college, I actually had more than 7 hours of lectures a week, had morning classes and had labs to do too.:pac:

christmas2012

there is deffo a social scene at college,its useful to socailise and make contacts,you dont always have to go out for drinks though...

IrishAm

In other news, 3/3 of lecturers are grossly overpaid.

The Big Red Button

I don't think that I was ever any less than one third hungover at ANY lecture!

Careful now...I'm a lecturer.:mad:

I'd say that attendances at my lectures are worst on Fridays and Mondays. Many students seem to think the weekend
starts on Thursday. Or maybe it's because I'm not a MILF in a mini skirt...
