    Um, this may seem like a dumb question but what's the story with the Irish Revolution? Is it the 1916 Rising or the United Irish rebellion? The reason I ask is that after browsing past papers the question has been on the United Irish rebellion but I was under the impression the revolution was the 1916 Rising? Were there lectures on the United Irish Rebellion? I'm starting to panic now!

    No, it's 1913-21 i think. The past papers were a different course, and a different layout so dont rely on them!

    Dunno how reliable my tips will be... but I'll give it a shot! Unionism, he really seemed to like that... is the civil war a natural conclusion to the rev? Only doing that because it was on a test our tutor gave us. And British policy towards Ireland I belief is quite important too.

    Heh, why bother going in at all then if you're just going to sit there and doodle?
    ;)

    For everyone doing first year arts exams, this should encourage you a bit..

    I did 1/4 essays for Philosophy (worth 25%), went to pretty much no tutorials after Christmas, and got a solid 50%. Waffled like a good thing in the exam too.

    Did 3/8 History essays (worth 25%), and same story with tutorials...and I nailed that mother****er with a 55%.

    French...missed the aural exam completely (worth 11%) because I didn't know it was on and still somehow managed to get 52%.


    This year, I'm trying the same experiment in second year.

    Sure, if I did my essays and went to my tutorials, these exams wouldn't be a challenge at all! I did this to myself on purpose....yes. Yes I did.

    Philosophy 1 today...was relatively alright, bastard put Necessity, Liberty and Miracles all in the same section though. So I had to write a completely bull**** answer on Aristotle's virtue crap (still don't know what it means), but the other 3 questions were fine and dandy.

    Bring on Saturday! Eeep.

    That does actually encourage me as my situation is probably worse than yours was. I did 3/8 history essays but attended very few tutorials. (Damn you 9 o'clock on a Monday morning) I wasn't even in history for the first two months or so as I joined later though I doubt this will be acknowledged by the 'powers that be'. Hopefully I'll scrape a pass though. 55% is excellent. I'd just love the 40 myself. Come on Wiki!

    9 o'clock lectures in first year History? Eeeesh...they've changed that since last year..I had the relative comfort of five 10 o'clocks.

    Believe me though...I was THE slacker of the year last year...I thought there was no hope..and I ended up with a miraculous 2:2. Important thing is never to give up because you think you might have done a ****ty paper.

    In Arts, there is ALWAYS hope ;)

    You're a good motivator Vainglory! I'm going to head over to Wikipedia now in the hope I can learn all about the revolutions before tomorrow. :o
