I did Introduction to Criminal Law the year before last. I enjoyed it.

Sure, what do you want to know?

Thanks for the reply.

I could take the opportunity to do BC eithier one of two ways.

1) What is the easiest module to do? I'm doing a fairly rigourous Science course so Itd be nice if I had an easy BC module that could maybe even bring up my exam results

2) What is the most interesting module. I've always had an interest in some of the Arts Block courses so it might be worth my while to do one of the management or law courses that Im actually interested in.

Thanks

I'm not entirely sure what the easiest module is - it depends on what you're good at. For us, we had a choice of taking a BC module in lieu of one of our Psychology modules.

I chose Irish A2 level and it was ridiculously easy, even though I missed half the course due to injury. With Irish, and I'm assuming other language modules, you're supposed to do the bulk of the work in class, and you can give yourself very easy projects if you're clever about it.

As far as I'm aware, for other BC modules you're expected to write an essay.

The psychology one the lads took when we were in 3rd year seemed very easy, a lot of waffling and no exam at the end of the year, just two essays

The environmental science-type one (something to do with global warming or ecology?) definitely had the highest marks of any of the modules, but it's best to pick something you'll actually enjoy. You'll have plenty of opportunities to boost your marks in your Group 1 & 2 courses; best to pick a BC course you'll be interested in.

Yeah, it's now taken the form of a blog and website you all help update. You also have to calculate your own water and carbon footprint.

I myself opted for Science, Technology and Sociology since it seemed interesting. Although whether or not I get to do BC is a little ambiguous....

Where do you pick your Broad curriculum modules?
