    Why would you do that? Is there any advantage with regards to qualifications?

    5 modules for BBS + French is enough for me. :D

    haha well I do five for P&Int Rels but I'm expecting to go into Media after and economics would be helpful and look good on my CV. Plus I'm an Economics nerd and it was my favorite subject in 6th year.

    So much for doing it for the love of learning ;)
    I took on AutoCad for the laugh in 2nd year. Did it on a pass/fail basis rather than getting an actual grade, less pressure - just had to clear it with the lecturer and my course head.

    Those essay writing workshops are on at awkward times, those that haven't already happened that is.
