Hey


Firstly... Mel Kilkenny!!???!!! Seriously you think he'd manage to do a good job at tax evasion.

How did you find exam? I found parts of q1,very tough but 20 marks were fairly do able...can't really remember much of q2.

Yes Q1 seemed to be a problem for most people. Did ok on the rest hopefully.

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know if Julie Hawkins will be teaching P6 in 2016? I know she has stopped teaching F6. Hoping to have her for the course.

I am a bit nervous about the size of the subject. Can anyone compare it to the size of P2, is it much bigger?

Thanks and hope everyone did well this sitting

Julie gave up F6 as she had to cut down her lecturing hours. She is going to keep doing P6 for the foreseeable future as far as I am aware. I had her for P6 and I would highly recommend her. She has a bad rep with the lecturers in some other colleges but I wouldn't pay them any attention she's an excellent lecturer.

It's probably as big as P2 or perhaps bigger but it all sort of fits together like a big jigsaw. It's interesting and doable if you like tax.

Thanks that sounds positive! I had Julie for F6 so know how good she is. Think I would only do P6 if she was lecturing, found her fantastic.

I might put off P6 until the Dec 16 sitting, as if I did it in Jun 16 and failed, I wont have a September repeat option. Hope she will still be going then!

I'd suggest you do it in June if possible and if that's your train of thought - June and December will be both based on 2015 tax law so it would be easier to repeat in December should the inevitable happen! Best of luck.

Yeah I had Julie for F6 and P6. She said she stopped F6 to focus on P6. If I knew before I picked P6 as my final option that it would not have the 4 sittings a year I would of done P4 instead. I only picked P6 cause Julie was the lecturer. I work in audit though not tax so might be different for others.

Just for a bit of balance.

I had Julie for F6 and Mel just now for P6.

Both lecturers are outstanding in their field. Yes Mel has had his problems, but as a student I care about the quality of tutoring not of what they do or don't don in their personal life.

On balance I prefer Mel because Julie can take away from your other subjects, she demands all your time but both are outstanding.

CP30

Well I passed P6 - 51% and am now an affiliate!!! Have my PER done so should be a member in a few weeks.

I hope everyone else got good news too. If not they are only exams and you can do them again so don't be too stressed if you were unlucky.

Passed P6 78%, with Mel kilkenny, delighted with mark, Julie and Mel are both excellent, great choice for p6 students, Plus with Mel you don't have to put up with a tyrant!

Would that 'tyrant' be tax compliant or a tax cheat?

ACCA1916

I don't care as long as i am treated with respect, I was speaking to some of Julie students before and after exam that i was in dbs with and it was them that provided the tyrannical comment to me. Respect for students comes before what lectures do or don't do in their personal lives. Thats just my opinion.

Kaka86

Serious gloating follows: Passed first time 78% .. Thank you Julie Hawkins. ACCA affiliate 😬😬 well done everyone

Paddy001

I passed as well! Now also an affiliate. Congrats everyone! Anybody know what happens from here?!

ACCA1916

For the record, I have praised both lectures on here who both I had.

But it's not your opinion, is it? It's the opinion of students that you met before and after the exam (or so you say) and you're relaying it here, anonymously, on a public forum. Very professional indeed.

You implied, for others to infer, that Julie Hawkins is a tyrant! That's just disgraceful.

ACCA1916

I had her for f6 and she is! Thats her style, she is aggressive, it works for her, she is a superb lecturer, but she has a tyrannical style which is an opinion that is not mine alone. As I said we are all entitled to our opinion.

Guys lets all just be happy we are done. Like I said for those they didn't get it don't worry you will get it next time.

I also passed with 52% and was in mel's class. I sent in my mock and never got it back and also he never replied to my emails. I know he had personal problems but I wonder did he ignore all students. College did not help much when I repoted it.

Is he still lecturing in this paper or has he now stepped down as a result of the controversy?

Judging by their website he is still there.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any of these lectures for taxation, Seamus Kelly Griffith College Limerick or Jim Bradley Griffith College Cork. I am just wonderful what they are like as lecturer for Tax? Thanks

Hi all, looking to sit P6 in June. Anyone have any experience of Edel Walsh in Griffith? Will be studying through the e-learning option with recorded lectures but wanted to check to see if anyone had any direct experience of this lecturer before I hand over the $'s. Thanks in advance

Can't comment on P6 since I won't be sitting it until (hopefully) this December.
I Had Edel for F6 however and found her to be quite good.

Thanks ZT, do you mind me asking whether you will go back to Griffith for P6 for the Dec sitting?
