I did it in UCD last year and was very unimpressed. Much of the lectures focussed on stuff that will never be of any use to you in the class. My tutor was well past her prime and was so out of touch with what was actually happening in the classroom today, and my examiner who came to my class was on her first year on the job and was way too critical over little items. Enjoyed little of the PDGE bar the times i was teaching :mad:
