I got 17.6%, so I really need a miracle for Friday, do you know if Caomhlin is using negative marking?

I know!!

OK, so fair enough ,he showed us a couple of sample questions, but it would be good to have apaper just to try them out.

Ive been studying Mgt all week and have about 50 pages of notes, Im all over the place!!

Don't even talk to me about Acc.:(

just remembered that the mark we got so far for communications is only for the project board and not the presentation so I should pass easy, phew thought i was gonna have to study some communications for a second haha, just a quick look over referencing should be more than enough for me.

I typed up all my notes for management last week and summarised it into 8 pages, been very handy though trying to memorise those leadership styles is a pain...

Oh and ya im totally screwed for accounting too, just doing all I can to pass it, thank god I did the case study in excel

All this exam talk is putting a smile on my face I must say!:D

Had a day off from school today..was great not doing anything! Slept..ate..watched TV. None of this reading notes/making notes/writing essays/studying malarky for me!!:pac:

On a side note: G'luck to everyone. One day (results pending!) ye'll be able to taunt fellow boardies on here aswell!:)

I'm sure pandering to 8yr olds is a great experience altogether! Don't lie, I bet you wish you were still en universitié.

Come back to me ~20th Janurary F_M and we'll discuss sleeping, eating and TV'in then

My biggest fear for tmrw is not getting up for the exam!!!!

DJCR · 09-12-2008 8:19pm

Is he marking on a curve?

I've just read a PPP essay there, I'm trying to avoid the popular ones as they're (by my reckoning) likely to be marked harder.

Most people I talked to found it fairly hard, I thought it was alright, a few tricky questions but should do fairly good.

Gone over a lot of microeconomics exam papers and know it fairly well so should be grand for tomorrow.

Still haven't opened a book on accounting... so screwed

Busi_Girl08 · 09-12-2008 10:32pm

I went over a paper there for Micro just today, hopefully Ill be ok.
Ill do some more in the morning

As for Acc. I'm pretty much screwed for the theory, but Im getting some help with that, thanks graciously to Mossin

I'm afraid your going to have to hand in your man badge and have it replaced with a box of tampons.

Honestly, between Fianna Fail and this you'd swear you had no self respect whatsoever!

Busi_Girl08 · 09-12-2008 11:53pm
