    Susan Cashell for history!
    Her class is hard work, but if you listen to what she says you will have no trouble getting a B1 or higher.

    irish dont pick michael o'ruairc! this will be my 4th year in the institute so I know alllll the teachers lol! maths defo take aidan rowntree he is brill. accounting arthur russel..he is top! geography they are pretty much the same but I would go with jim carberry. Business dont pick keith hannigan take willy murphy he is great teacher and he wrote the book you have to get and he is ****in gas!!I have had both so I know which is better. English dont take cathy sweeney for comparative!!!! Jim lusby for language, Paul mccormack for poetry and cian hogan for drama.Defo pick those ones as I have had all the english teachers and they are by far the best!

    For the first week I think your able to go to whatever teacher you want so you'll have your own opinions on the teachers but
    For English i'd say
    Cathy Sweeney - Comparative, Jim Lusby- Language, Denis Creaven -poetry, Paul Mc Cormack- Single text
    For Business Keith Hannigan

    Cathy sweeney...ugh no she is terrible!!
    Paul mccormack is better at teaching poetry so then you can have Cian hogan for drama..he is brill!
    And business...willy murphy is far better.Keith is better at teaching economics!

    I have had four different comparative teachers in there and she was the worst of them. They change some years so cant advise which ones to take until I get the list sent out to me

    depends, you have to be in the school between the hours of 9.30 and 3.30 with an hour for lunch, any other breaks you have in between are compulsary study periods.
    some classes start at 8.30 some start at 5.30 , it all depends on what way you put your timetable together and how you can fit all your classes in, with 7 subjects you will have a pretty packed timeable though

    i lived in the study hall, should have brought a duvet in and slept there:rolleyes:
    do make use of it though, first time round i hated the study hall ,mainly because i hated studying and the hours i spent in there consisted of me bringing in coffee and getting told to leave till i finished:P
    but this time around when i actually wanted to study i found it invaluable

    1. its supervised
    2. you can get your work done in between classes
    3. the quiet apart form the odd few idiots
    4. you can get the majority of your study done before you go home and then relax once youve left the place:)

    I always have done 7 subjects and I never finished later than half three.You will fit them in fine. Do take some half8 classes though(you may not have a choice but to take them to fit in everything). I always find having lunch at half12 is the easiest.

    Ohhh that's good news. I'd really like to finish by half 4, so I can take a break till 5 and then study onwards. You can decide when you want to take lunch?

    Ye you do your whole timetable yourself.Most people have lunch at half12 and some at half one. I will be doing all half 8 classes so I will be finished hopefully at half3 and then study at half4:D
