    Hi Folks

    Has anyone attended this course in previous years? If so what should I expect? has anyone signed up this year?

    Cheers Partay Pooper

    The head start Maths is good. I did it last year and still have all the paperwork they give you. Its designed for ppl who havent done leaving cert style maths in a few years. I found it helpful but still had to work really hard understanding Business Maths as i'm not mathematically minded.

    Each day is divided into two separate classes and they go thru a lot of stuff but the paperwork they give you is a work book so they go thru it at everyone's pace and no one is left behind.

    Thanks JemimaPD, I'm worried about Business Maths but it is just one semester....although I presume it's to give you a grounding for understanding economic graphs and equations etc.

    Thanks again for you reply.

    If anyone feels in anyway iffy about maths and it is on your course then I would strongly recommend taking this option. I know a couple of students who ended up changing their degree because they couldnt cope with the maths after the first month or so.

    it starts out at a very basic level, fractions etc. i didnt go the second day so have no idea what went on then. i couldnt see it being much of a helpful if you are picking an engineering course for instance. but i suppose its a good refresher of the basics.
