FYI, I've been availing of free papers left outside John Hume. They are for the Bookshop, it must be closed (although i was sure I saw it open one of the days, maybe they're just not bringing them in). Just thought I'd share the love before its to late! They have The Gaurdian, The Times, Daily Express, Irish Observer, Financial Times, The Sun and The Buy and Sell!

Michellenman · 12-08-2009 7:59pm

Ha cool. Thanks for that.

First repeat out of the way. Wasn't too bad. There was 2 sections (A+B) and supposed to be 2 questions within each of these then answer one from each but A only had one question that you HAD to answer... strange. Went ok, didn't really bullshit and wrote a fair bit. It's a bit ****, I could've done really well in it but it'll be capped

Suppose that's what I get for getting in to this situation in the first place.

Actually, is there a way of finding out what your actual result was before it was capped at 40%?

Sorry what? Your giving me a mini heart attack here. Are you confusing it with the situation where you forfeit your summer grade but are guaranteed a minimum of 40% (assuming you passed it in the Summer?) rather than it being capped at 40? Unless your situation is degree specific you can get as high as you deserve in the repeats.

I just read somewhere that my grades would be capped. I read it ages ago though so maybe I'm wrong.

I didn't pass it in the Summer. Your explanation sounds more correct though.

Sorry! I didn't mean to scare you!

Beau · 13-08-2009 2:57pm

I think I know what you mean now. You're not in final year are you? Every year excluding final year if you have to repeat an exam you only get a pass grade in that module wether you get 42 or a 72. So yeh they tell you what percentage you got in the exam but it'll say pass beside it.

banquo · 13-08-2009 3:29pm

But now in final year you can repeat up to 15 credits and retain honours

Reading the Business sections of a few papers lately, it seems that O' Briens are on the verge of going bust-oh.

Does that mean we'd get something new on campus :pac: Or would they just rename the kip?

Completley off topic but has anyone ever convinced their parents to let them get an animal even though the parents reeeeeeeallly didn't like animals?

I've spent the last hour sighing over the cats in the animal rehoming thread in animal and pet issues and it's making me sad the fact my dad sees animals in the house as a breeding ground for disease... but they're soooo cuuuute

THINK OF ALL THE LOLCAT PICS I COULD MAKE??!:(

Dont think so, just the central franchise administration.

I dont understand it really, the reports say the individual franchise holders retain trading rights, but I would imagine that central admin manage the supply of products. Either way, pray for a (closer) Micky Dee's. Hooray capitalism!

Every year I say that I'll buy nice stationary and folders and be oh so neat and organised, and yet every year I end up with a crumpled A4 pad and a leaky pen in my pocket. Difficult. This year will be different though. I can FEEL it.

Teabag! · 16-08-2009 12:16am

Does anybody know what the story is with these for second year???

I have had a look at the modules for second year just passed and it seems that this is for the past ear and only a guide for what may come next year....

Here, is it possible to take one first year module on in to second year? It probably sounds ridiculous but someone said that to me today and I might need to do that after today's exam...

I tried emailing and ringing the advisory office but they're off until the 8th of September.

banquo · 17-08-2009 3:06pm

Unfortunately not. I tried this in 1st year too. Most other colleges - DCU and TCD for sure - do this, but not NUIM. You think they would since it's just a first year module.

Best thing to do is work super-hard and do well in all other repeats to pass it by compensation.

I'm a bit of an expert on the rules regarding repeats and pass by compensation, and exam-passing in general! So ask away if you've and more Qs.

Michellenman · 17-08-2009 3:08pm

Ah crap! Worth a shot.

Ok, so I had two repeats. Say I pass one and fail one... can I pass by compensation if I have enough?

or

Say I pass one and fail one but don't have enough with my passed exam to pass with compensation (still with me here?) can I use my marks from the May exam to pass by compensation?

banquo · 17-08-2009 3:13pm

You had 2 repeats, yeah? The August examination perdiod cannot take marks from other periods, i.e. summer. So you can't pass an autumn exam by compensation with marks from during the year (this.sucks.so.bad). However, you can pass the exam you failed with marks from the other exam you did.

If you think you won't get an average of 40, leg it to the doctor and get a note saying you were feeling woozy or something!

I could never do that!!! *cough. I am feeling a bit iffy now that you mention it...

What would they actually do anyway? 'Oh, you were a bit off that day? Here, have a 40'?

14th or 15th of September. Try emailing your lecturer, more than likely they've corrected it already. I got a mail saying I passed one exam anyway

(he wouldn't give me an exact score).
