    I've gotten by on cramming during study week for the past three years, but this year it just doesn't seem to be enough.

    The fact that there are only two this semester is nice, but i'm not looking forward to PHAR40070 tomorrow, in fact i'm really starting to panic:(

    I know what you mean. Just focus on past exam papers rather than cram. Pick out a few questions and develop an answer for them

    And when said question doesn't come up, then PANIC!

    I feel pretty fine. Only worried about my first exam. Hopefully I can scrape a pass in it.(also the fact that its a 100% final exam sucks :() But anyway have 3 of my exams basically passed with 30% or more obtained already in them. So I am happy about that. Then the other two exams I feel comfortable that I can do well in.

    so does that mean you only need 10% from the final exam to pass? or do you have to get 40% in the final exam?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 48 JBUCD


    Yes I only need 10% in the final exam for them. Just takes a bit off pressure off me. Anyway I'm going to make sure I do well in the exam also so my gpa is good.

    Not a clue really- could be set, could be blissfully ignorant.

    Oh well, an exam is an exam. Life goes on.

    Good luck!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,818 ✭✭✭✭Mushy


    Today should be ok, Cities in a Global Context, know the topics, and pretty much the questions coming up.

    Tomorrow, Sociology of Education...questions are quite tricky, but will hopefully get through it. Same as Theory 3 for sociology.

    All in all, should be ok, get by in the nick of time, although nothing spectacular.

    Good luck everyone.

    Finance. Oh dear. That is all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,116 ✭✭✭✭bnt


    Six exams in ten days, all of them counting 70-100% of the course assessment. That is all.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Political theory tomorrow. I'm so screwed.

    I've been looking at past exam questions all day and can't come up with any sort of structured answer. My only hope is to waffle my way through it and hope I show enough understanding of the issues.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    Had my first one on Monday evening, pretty much half alright, and half crap. Feeling a bit screwed for the exams I have on Friday and Saturday though :eek::mad:

    How did the assignments go? If I remember correctly, 40% is done before sitting the exam?

    Its 70/30 breakdown.

    Just learn what each 3 felt on democracy and go from there I'd say.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_in_Marxism
    http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/mill/
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Stuart_Mill
    http://www.stoa.org/projects/demos/article_aristotle_democracy?page=1&greekEncoding=

    Few articles on anthenian democracy on blackboard which might help.

    I (very) stupidly missed one of them, but did well on the essay. I think I need something like 37 percent in the exam to pass the module.

    I'm really worried about this one since it's a core module. I may be alright, it depends how much I remember.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 243 ✭✭Kournikova


    I will be relying on memory from lectures to do well in Political Theory lol. I'll see how that works out.

    Hey how did you get on? Was easier than I thought..can't believe it. That said, one of my answers was quite waffle-y.

    Haha I'm exactly the same as that. One fairly good answer, and one wafflefest. :pac:

    I didn't like it at all.

    What I wrote amounted to an 8 page memory dump. I don't think I really engaged with the questions at all. They were kinda of tricky. Half of what I wrote probably wasn't even relevant. Feck it, at least it's over. Hopefully I scrapped a pass. Don't fancy having to repeat it.

    1 down, 4 to go.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,167 ✭✭✭Notorious


    Anyone else doing the politics of terrorism on Saturday? It should be handy enough... hopefully.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,341 ✭✭✭✭Chucky the tree


    1a question on the main objective of democracy saved me. All the other question I had no clue on so had to bull**** the second one like most other people. Still gonna stuggle for a pass though.

    Will your assignments, attendance etc help you? Exam was only 70%. I don't think I'd be overly confident if the exam had been 100%

    Mine were 2 wafflefests, well one I was more confident in. :D But still not amazing.

    I have economics 2morro, I really shouldn't be on here and Facebook now. :cool:

    Have my first exam tomorrow...Biological Psych. Have literally procrastinated the last two days away :( Whyyyyy doI always do this!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 39 Jaybl


    Test today went great. Group Theory I found hard yesterday. I hate 100% final exams. Hopefully I got a pass or that I can get compensated. I dont want to have to that again because I found it hard and I wouldnt be confident in a resit. Hopefully I get compensated since its an option.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 450 ✭✭p-nut


    Breathing a sigh of relief as i peel my head from the pillow after a messy night out....exams are out of the way for another semester:D
