    There's a jewish studies exam as well yano :L


  • Registered Users Posts: 270 ✭✭MinnieMouse15


    My school doesnt do RE for Jc, we had 3 classes a week and this year we have 2! Imagine not doing it for JC but wasting time in doing something that you dont need while i have 1 class a week of CSPE AND ITS ON MY JC AND I DONT GET IT AT ALL! I know its simple but its hard learning off all the names and people :/

    My school doesn't do religion as an exam subject for LC we just do it as a subject to keep on minds off work all the time. But I don't know about your book but my religion book has an entire section devoted to each major world religion, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Judaism :p Roscommon seems so behind nobody in my year thinks of themself as an atheist we're all Roman Catholic, although I have dipped my toe into Hinduism at some parts of my life. I feel we're on earth anyways we might as well hope that there's going to be a heaven afterwards, it's something to look forward to ;)

    Religion is useless for JC, once again it's all general knowledge and if you ever read a children's bible when you were younger you're going to get an A in it :P But CSPE is easy enough although it can be a b**** (pardon my french) in some parts i.e identifying parliaments and laws and all that

    We've only two religion classes and one CSPE class a week and CSPE has more work to be done like :L Religion's considered a minority subject and no one seems to take it seriously that annoys me.

    We don't do it for LC either :L My book has a section for christianity and a section for Judaism AND Islam. For Hinduism and Buddhism you can download the free chapters online :rolleyes: I was surprised how modern Cork is :L There's loads of people in my tinchy little town that are atheists :L

    Two explanations @ 4m each (St2 + D1 + D1)
    I had my geography
    Did well enough but for some questions i did not asnwer properly
    E.g.explain 2 reason why Ireland's population grew during the 1800s
    I said no family planning provided
    High infant mortality(famine) rate so people had many children in hope for some to survive
    At that time many people were involved in the primary activites
    Children were needed to help out in farms
    No pention were provided so children were needed to help their parents
    Is this correct and if so would i gotten full marks

    Hebrew is a language, not a religion.

    The bit about no family planning seems right, but the question is a bit iffy... the population GREW in the 1800s?!? Surely judging by The Great Famine the population was cut in half from 1850+ I mean it was 8 million pre-famine and post-famine it was cut down to 4 million... Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong :)

    Is that question on the Pres for Geography? Nice one haha


  • Registered Users Posts: 453 ✭✭sotisme


    Hi, if anyone could answer this it'd be gratefully appreciated!

    For the Age of Exploration in History my book focuses mainly on 2 explorers, Columbus and Ferdinand Magellen.

    Would I be ok just learning Columbus or do I need to know all about Magellen as well?

    Also Bartholomew Diaz, Vasco de Gama and Prince Henry the Explorer are mentioned, I persume I need to know a brief bit on them also?
    Thanks
