Any idea how big the classes are in economics and finance?

Most important, of course, is not that the classes are small, but that people have the good manner to shut up during lectures. If anyone has any experience, please share.

Hi, I'm doing arts in first year and hoping to do english and psychology(the plan is to get into single honours psychology in second year, but we'll wait and see how that one turns out

). Anyway I'm at a loss for what to pick as my third subject, it's between anthropology and sociology. Any suggestions? I've heard a lot of people mentioning fieldwork assignments in anthropology, so I was just wondering what these entail?

maths is very do-able in first year:- I only had ordinary maths, and I did it in second year as well. Just keep on top of it and put some work into the assignments and you should understand what's going on

id so cud u give me sum info id greatly appreciate it!!
main question is is the science doable even thou i like science but wudnt b passionate about it

No, not Psychology through science but your course is exactly the same as general science in first year, i.e. maths plus three other subjects. You keep two out of these four subjects in second year and you also do first year psychology. Third and fourth year is pure psychology as far as I know. Yea, the science is do-able I guess but it also depends on your subject choices and your interests. You may find some of the work difficult but some of the material should be useful later in your psychology. Hope this helps!

Math phys you'd fly through with honours maths. As for the other two, well keep in mind they cover the leaving cert course in first year, so you don't need to have done either before.

I'm starting Psych thru sci too! and xochilliox.

see you down there.

Was also wondering to those that did science, how much of the leaving cert is in the physics, maths and chemistry classes?
And which would be better to do, exp physics or math physics, did honours physics and maths, but thought that the exps were the easiest bit of physics despite liking the mathsy bits? is it the same kinds of exp's?
o and, are there many hours, on average?

xochillixo · 31-08-2009, 19:09

crap! al those doing psychology thru science seem to b farely mathsy! i only did ordinary (higher for j.c.) i found it grand i just hope i dont struggle with the maths in this course!!
