Alcohol and drug policies in Ireland sounds quiet broad, lol.
I've physics and maths as modules and a few chemistry modules as elective.

Hours: One day I have only two lecture, but I guess when it comes to workload nearly everyone is the same. If you have 12 modules including electives that's between 100 and 125 hours multipulied by 12 a year which is 1200 & 1500 hours a year between lectures, tutorials, labs and so-called self-directed study. If your thinking like I'm thinking we have around 7260 free hours on our hands during the year.

Irish culture and society is a great module, fairly handy too.

I took Recent papers in Neuroscience and Health Psychology as electives.

Well I did it a couple of years ago + didn't enjoy it, granted I'm a physio + we all had to do it + its not like the other stuff we do! AFAIK they show videos now in the class + there's questions in the exam on them but they don't tell you when they're on to make you go to lectures. Don't remember much else, wasn't awful but like fairly boring stuff imo.

Modules are the specific area of a subject. So Brain & Behaviour is a psychology module.

Electives are modules, that can be taken outside of the course you've selected. You know all that Horizons talk...thats just electives.

It's challenging,but very interesting if you are into philosophy, and ethics in particular. Infact, this course is not on ethics,but on meta-ethics i.e. the stuff that comes before ethics and questions the sheer possibility of ethical questions. Some texts from Kant on Influence on the will, and Mackie and Nagel on Subjectivism and Objectivism might appear to you extraordinary painstaking and you'll simply muddle through,but some are fine and relatively easy and interesting to read.The exam is not that easy as well, and they'll make you learn at least 26 technical definitions by heart (oh,believe me,it gets very technical in the end) but I still managed to score a B+ for it. Altogether if you feel like taking it, and you are not afraid of some work,definitely go for it! Tutors and lecturers are sound as well!

My two cents - it is interesting. The lectures are reasonably non-technical. You can sit down and just listen to the lecturers explain the topic. In 2009 the whole course was based off one book, "Reading Ethics". If you went to all the lectures and studied the book you'd probably get a B, without having to do extra reading. The essay was worth 55% of the final mark, so that was really important. Hence the key to a good mark was to get to know one section of the course very well, and do a good essay on it.

The lecturer warned us at the start of the course that it wasn't an easy module - and it is not - but he was very fair in terms of letting us know the format of the exam. Recommended for anyone interested in ethics, right and wrong, goodness, fairness, all that stuff.

Quick question....Il be studying Radiography for 1st year and we got an email from our co-ordinator saying that they recommend us taking an elective in Computer Science....Ive been looking at Introduction to Programming 1...can anyone tell me if you need to be extremely computer literate for this? Its just that it mentions programming loops and arrays which I know nothing about...will I be out of my dept or does it cater for newbies like me??

It really does go from the very beginning. You'll be fine, and if you put the work in it's an easy module.
