Access course lecture in UCD

Chet T16

Last year it was 4 or 5 days before the successful people were contacted. Our lecture was on a thursday so pretty much the same circumstances.

I wouldn't be worrying just yet

This may seem a bit daft but were we allowed to use the notes we took down during the lecture for the summary?

Me Too! 12 oclock

Chet T16

Good stuff!

The interview is more to make sure the course suits you rather than the other way round so its more than likely you both have a place.

Best of luck

See I told you about the law of attraction didnt I

I got an interview too!

What kind of questions are asked?

Chet T16

If you're facing the main library/911 cafe there is a door to the left of the cafe, go in there and up the stairs and you'll see the adult ed reception, thats where Thomonds office is.

As i didn't get in on the first "round" last year i didn't have a proper interview, most people had Thomond and Matt there whereas i just had Thomond. As i said above the interview was more to make sure the course suited me and that the times were ok.

No unusual questions, interests work etc. Make sure you know where you'd like to go after the course, for me it was my way into an engineering degree but there was a wide range of interests on the course rather than people wanting the guaranteed places next year

I have a feeling they will ask us to name all the elements in the periodic table,Ouch I slept on my neck weird and have a creaky neck.

Chet T16

Hey I look forward to meeting my new class mates!:D;)

I think we have to pay before our start date(can pay half now and half after xmas),I think I will drop in to ucd in person before then and pay,it would be better for you to pay by postal order,Yeah we will probably get our cards in the first week or so,I wonder if all our lectures are in the science hub and I wonder if we get a tour around the campus its rather big!I wonder lots I'm excited too :PI'm going buy a UCD hoodie top also and jog around every where with it:D:D

Chet T16

Have you got class times yet? I'll be up there everyday anyway so we should meet up and have a chat

Hi,
Last year we could collect our cards once we had receipt of payment of Access fees and were encouraged to do so sooner rather than later as the cards were needed for library tour and other things. The queues should hopefully be a lot shorter from 14th and the card issuing place is open until 25th. Good luck. I really enjoyed last year and can't wait to start course on Monday.

TirNaNog.

Cool,you can give us a guided tour and greet us with gifts:)

That's a great idea

We should have a get together for all the mature students, something informal.

Ooh good idea!!

My advice on books for the course - don't get the physics or chemistry book on the list (although Shea might have changed the chemistry book). Get Shea Mullally's Chemistry Now book and any leaving certificate book for the others, oh except Biology as it goes into more detail than L.C. books.

Oh don't meet with him people. He's an uber nerd. Ah if there's anyone who will help you out it's Chet. I would meet yas all but I've gone over to the dark side - Trinity. :pac:

Take full advantage of the Maths Support Centre too if you need it.
