    Surely I told you back in September that it might not have been the wisest choice of subjects? It sounds like something I would've said anyway...

    "Confusionism/Taoism is a load of half baked mystical claptrap that rational minds cannot be expected to engage with in any meaningful way."
    Well, on the other hand, Confucianism and Taoism are philosophies which post-rationalist German philosophers came around to on their own. You could argue that rationalism is claptrap because humans aren't rational and rationalist methodologies misrepresent 'reality'. Sounds like you at least have something to say.

    I got my Arts degree in UCD in politics and philosophy a few years ago (then went back for more and did a Masters). My advice would be to cram like crazy, but be smart about it. Get the questions/lecturer's strong suggestions, get the past papers, focus on answering three questions well and one extra for insurance. Your answers don't have to be long, they just have to be good.

    A typical argument is: (1) Restate the problem/question, (2) explain some thinker's idea, (3) present a few counter-arguments, (4) conclusion saying which view is better or worse. A basic dialectical methodology.

    It did the job for me.

    Although what I found most useful was to keep in regular contact with lecturers if I had any problems and in final year myself and friends set up a yahoogroup where we shared the workload and notes among ourselves.

    Good luck everyone.

    Option 1: Go to town and get the Dart. Blackrock is about 6 stops out of town. (that's what I did for my repeats last summer) The 45 bus also goes through Blackrock.
    Option 2: Get the 17 from Belfield. But give plenty of time. The 17 = evil.

    Yeah, tis a smart move to work the journey out in advance, to see just how much time it takes. Did this twice last year, before the Summer exams and before the Autumn ones... :o
