TCD Fail of the Year Awards

Fo Real

As the academic year draws to a close, we can sit back and reflect on the events that have transpired in our humble little institution over the past few months. Many of these events will have been great victories for the college or moments of joy. However, the vast majority will be moments of cringeworthy embarassment.

So I ask you, my dearest friends of the TCD forum, what was in your opinion the biggest FAIL in college this year? If we get enough suggestions we can add a poll.

My vote goes to the "flash mob" that failed miserably. A planned flash mob is also a contradiction but I wouldn't expect the idiot orgnaisers to realise this. I think it happened in January or Febuary. The security guards came down on the "rebels" like a tonne of bricks.

The pav not being finished on time, SU elections (shocking turnout), Mick birmingham for not getting nitelinks (i suspect it's the reason he got voted in), SU in general......

Also cuntab's "week of debauchery" .

I wouldn't call it a failure: http://www.universitytimes.ie/story.php?id=284

Security didn't "come down" on anyone. They stood by and watched. When one minute was up everybody stood up and security let them go on their way.

I think the point of a flash mob is to do it completely out of the blue, and not with the pre-arranged cooperation with security i.e. it has to be planned, obviously, but nobody should about it except for the flash-mobbers.

12 weeks each term is ****e! Much prefer last year. Why did they change it anyways

Denerick

Semesterisation

The Student Union elections and the Semesterisation referendum were both epic fails with tiny turnouts. Re-inforces the reality that a tiny and creepily motivated minority will dictate the terms of student politics, even though the vast majority of students find the concept of 'student politics' a misnomer and a stain on the conscience of humanity.

Im going to trinity in september, doing an evening course. I have 5 different modules each term then exams in the summer. Im just wondering how would this have been done before they brought semesters in?

We used to have three terms, and most arts courses had all of their exams in the summer anyway. The science heads are annoyed because instead of having exams broken up during the year, they have them all in Summer now instead. It depends on what course you will be doing next year if you're worrying about how it will affect you.

Thanks. Im doing information systems. Not really worried as i dont know what it was like before so it will be all new to me anyway.

What?

They were always had at the end of the year in Freshman Science, in my 3 years in TCD so far anyway.

Where did you get that information from?
