    Timetables are on my Portal page now. Looks good, bearing in mind that some classes seem to be split into groups, so you will only be in one of them.

    The timetable is actually pretty good if your in group 2 for everything... My last name starts with N so hoping im in group 2:p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24 kav91


    Early starts:rolleyes: grr, I'm K...ughh what are the chances like..

    group 2, please? hahaha :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20 ChillyPhilly


    K might just be right at the start of group 2 if its done by alphabetical order... Keep your fingers crossed ha;)
    Ive never been happier to be an N:D but i guess it depends on how many people have certain names in the class...

    Anyone notice the 3 hr breaks between lectures? Its almost like god is telling us to drink between class:P

    Oh yeah, it's in groups!

    That's cut down my hours a lot then! I don't mind which group really! Probably 1 since I'm an F!

    couldn't agree with you more.

    but at least we finish an hour earlier on a Friday!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    That 5 hour wait will be a killer, although I suppose we can spend the time working on our studies ;)


    The early fridays are nice though, we can get a head start on the drinking

    Exact same as last year then, looks like a good few new lecturers though.

    If you're planning on going out Thursday nights then those Friday lie-ins are heavenly :)

    A lecture is basically sitting in a large lecture hall for an hour or two listening to your lecturer speak pretty much all the time, and there can be as many as 100-150 at the lecture at the time. A seminar is in smaller classes of around 20-30, and in the hour you're basically encouraged to give your own views on certain topics, and a lot of them can turn into full blown debates between people in your seminar.

    It's basically a lecture with less people and much more interaction between the tutor and the students.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 439 ✭✭Jammy


    So really everyone in your course is at the lecture.

    And then we're split into groups for the seminar?


    There's only about 80 on the course isn't there?

    Everyone in your course will be at the same lecture yeah, but most of your lectures will be mixed in with other courses, mainly Journalism and Multimedia. Actually I think your Media Practice lecture with Eoin is the only CS-only lecture you have in semester 1.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    I just read emails about seminar lists and things, aaah :o

    I just know I'm going to turn up in the wrong place all the time for the first few weeks!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 439 ✭✭Jammy


    Since we've been split into groups my hours have been cut loads!

    I'm in Group 1 for everything apart for Language and Culture, im in Group 2 which is amazing :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 105 ✭✭sarah+1
